【推荐2】One early morning on my way to work，I saw a little girl carrying a beautiful Hello Kitty schoolbag.I could imagine that she must love her schoolbag a lot.It was so big that it could hold a lot of things.Since it had two wheels，it was easy to carry.“How wonderful！” I said to myself.
I remembered my first schoolbag was a green cloth(布)bag that my mom made for me.It took her a week to make it.After a quick breakfast，I said to her，“It's time for school.Bye，Mom！” I ran to school.At that time，my schoolbag was so light(轻的)．When I jumped，it jumped.All things in it gave out cheerful sounds all the way along.
As I grew older，my schoolbag became heavier and heavier.And with years it lost its color and there were even holes in it.Finally it came to an end.When I was in Grade Four，my mother bought me a new schoolbag.It was yellow.It had a few pockets(口袋)and either side of the schoolbag could carry something.I was happy to go out every day with it.Three miles of the trip to school seemed as if it were just a few steps away.To my shame，I lost it when I was playing in a park two years later.
Though my first schoolbag is small，and it was made by my mother herself，it is the real Hello Kitty schoolbag in my heart.I put it in a nice box.Every time I take it out to have a look，sweet memories come back.

The young boy lives up to the meaning of his name. “Ghanim Al Muftah” means “the winner” in Arabic. He is not just a kid who survives (存活于) a deadly disability, but he lives a wonderful life.

Hi, my name is Alex. This is my school schedule. I have to wake up every morning at about 6:30. First, I have breakfast. Then I ride my bike to school. It takes me 20 minutes to get there.

I have four classes in the morning. I like history the most. Mr. Rudolph is really cool because he knows everything about history, and he tells us lots of interesting stories. We also get a 15 minute break in the morning. I usually talk to Seth and Franklin at that time. We also share our snack together, near the football pitch. To tell the truth, I am not good at sports.

The afternoon is easier, since I have only two classes. Chemistry is my favourite. We get to do fun experiments. I want to be a doctor one day. Art and craft is also fun. Our teacher, Mrs. Lester, is nice. She encourages us even if drawing is bad.

【推荐3】People usually think it is very easy to cook instant noodles(方便面)。They usually put the noodles into the boiling water and add in the MSG, together with the other things like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered if this is the correct way of cooking them?
Do you know what is on the surface of the noodles? People use something like wax(蜡)to cover the noodles when they make them, so that the noodles can join together nicely before they are put into the packaging. Many people enjoy eating them without thinking of this. But a report said the wax covered on the noodles was very bad for our bodies. They said it needed about 2-3days to clear away the wax in our bodies after we ate it. So it is dangerous to have too much wax stayed in our stomachs. But it is not difficult to wash away the wax. Before you cook the noodles, wash them with hot water and then pour away the water. Do it like this twice, and you can wash the wax away. Then and you can cook the noodles as usual.

【推荐1】根据短文内容，判断正误（正确“T”，错误“F”）。

Today, more and more people try to become a volunteer. The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” It is difficult to help others all the time, but if you insist in (坚持) that, you will be very happy. If you have a lot of free time, you should take an active part in activities, such as taking care of sick people, working in a homeless children’s home, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks.

Jenny, a good friend of mine, came back from India with a new idea of being a volunteer. Helping others is also a kind of happiness. What’s more, when we help others, it can be a way of helping ourselves. When we learn how to give others, we can further our morals (道德规范). She worked in a home for sick people. She helped wash clothes and passed out lunch. She also fed the weak people and tried to cheer them up. She said that if all of us can give a helping hand as a volunteer, our world will be full of love and that will make our world nicer and nicer.

1. The word “volunteer” usually means one who offers his or her services.
2. Helping others all the time is very easy and you’ll be very happy.
3. Jenny worked in a home for sick people in India.
4. Jenny thinks we shouldn’t give a helping hand as a volunteer.
5. The passage mainly tells us we should do our best to be a volunteer.

【推荐2】Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.

A．Fewer and fewer people will buy books.

B．A good dictionary should be kept in every home.

C．Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.

D．More people like TV programs about famous men.
