2 . Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被状物) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must clean their water now before it is thrown away and they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

3 . Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s(上帝的) way of taking care of us.” But how do you find a real friendship(友谊) and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding a friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. If you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your life.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are three steps to be friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend did wrong, and explain(解释) why you did this or that.
Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.
1. What does Sally want to tell young students?(不超过10个词)2. What should we do if our friends have a bad day according to(根据) the passage?(不超过15个词)

Fashion changes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past (过去) , you can find the changes in fashion. An English house in the 1750s is quite different from one in the 1650s. A young boy today looks very different from his fashionable (时尚的) grandpa in the 1940s. Today, fashion changes fast. We can get new information in a short time from newspapers, radios, telephones, televisions and the Internet. When new fashion comes, fashionable people will buy new things.

5 . Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate with them politely.
How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.
Do you know how to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.
Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other countries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk.
