1 . There are many charity(慈善机构) shops in England.They are owned and run by Oxfam and other charities.Sometimes all their money goes to help cure(治疗) a disease like lung cancer.Some other charities use their money to help homeless people.
A charity shop sells many things.For example, you can find clothes, china(瓷器) and books there.(A)These second hand items are given to the shops by people who don’t need them anymore. A family might give old clothes that they wear no more or books that they no longer read to a charity shop. The charity shop doesn't pay for them.
The charity shop then sells these goods at a very low price.People often go to these shops to find a bargain.Of course most things in the shops are not very interesting, but books and clothes in these shops can be very cheap and very good.
The money gained from selling these things is then used by the charity to help people in need.For example, Oxfam uses its money to help poor people all over the world, especially in Africa, he provides medical treatment and food for them.It also uses its money to make people know the sufferings(困难)of the poor around the world so that it can receive more donations(捐赠物) to help more people.

2 . Many people would like to watch sport matches. First,you need to know about audience（观众）manners.
Most sporting arenas(竞技场) have rules for audience written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don't leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other rubbish.
During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don't criticize (批评) the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.
Clapping is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players, but you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don't go on for too long. After an excellent performance, clap warmly. If someone fails, your clapping will help encourage them. Clapping is not welcome, however, while players need to keep their attention. Various(不同的) sports have various rules for the audience.
Enjoying artistic gymnastics (体操) needs silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. When you watch snooker and table tennis matches, flash photography is not allowed. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centers.
To be a good audience, you should take time to learn the game——particular rules and related culture of each event.

3 . Have you ever considered starting a fitness program? Since exercise can reduce the risk of diseases, improve balance, help lose weight, better sleep habits and even make you confident, you can start a fitness program in the following steps.
Test your fitness level
How many meters can you walk or run in one minute? How much time does it take you to swim 50 meters? What is your heart rate(心率)？ The date(数据) of your fitness level can help you know what activities you need.
Design your fitness program
You may have begun your daily exercise. But a personal plan helps more. First, you should have your fitness goals. For example, what do you want to look like, to be slimmer or quicker? A balanced plan will help you start low, progress slowly, do right activities and even allow you to recover if you get hurt.
Prepare things needed for sports
You need something practical, enjoyable and easy to use. It could be a pair of trainers, a volleyball bat or a bicycle. You can also download fitness apps on your mobile phone to measure distances, calories burned or your heart rate.
Take action
Now you’re ready for action. When you begin, don’t always try tough tasks. Listen to your body and reduce exercise time if necessary.
Watch your progress
Test your fitness level again six weeks later. If you have achieved your goals, increase exercise time to continue improving.

4 . Dream culture is an important part of ancient Chinese culture. There are many ancient stories about dreams in China, such as Golden Millet Dream. However, Dream interpreting is also popular in China, and the most famous reference for dream interpreting is the book Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams. It was usually used as a reference for ancient people to interpret their dreams. Since different dreams have different meanings, people can get good or bad predications by interpreting them. Actually, dream interpreting is not totally a superstition. It has some scientific reasons.
Dream is the reflection of fact. This kind of dream can be easily understood without dream interpreting.
Dream is the body’s self-implication. Traditional Chinese medical science stated that dreams are related to the health condition of human’s bodies. When Yin and Yang are unbalanced, dreams come into being.
Dreams are usually different from the facts, which coincide with the philosophy that things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme.
Based on the experiences and practices, an unknown author wrote a book for interpreting dreams and predictions, which was named Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams.
As ancient Chinese peoples’ wisdom and experiences, Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams became less regarded as a superstition(迷信). In a way, it is scientifically reasonable. Handed down over thousands of years, the book still has many mysteries waiting for us to explore.
1. Why can people get different predications by interpreting dreams?2. What do dreams have to do with according to Chinese medical science?
3. What do you think of Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams now?

7 . In Chengdu, tea culture has developed into the Chengdu-featured（特色的）tea house culture. There is a saying about Chengdu tea houses: You could see more tea houses than sunny days. Why can the tea house in Chengdu catch so much eyesight? Because of their many different functions（功能）: for relaxing, meetings, as well as entertainment.
Chengdu tea houses are often decorated（装饰）with bamboo desks and bamboo chairs. Chengdu people love tea houses, because they love chatting. They often gather together in a crowded tea house, and drink tea when chatting in their free time. They often have a cup of tea and cakes, watch actors performing traditional arts, talk and laugh with people in the house, which could be true joy of life.
The soft wind is filled with tea's smell. The teas they use are usually jasmine green teas, Dragon Well and Biluochun. They use northern Gaiwan as tea sets (larger than Gongfu Gaiwan). Gaiwan is made up of three parts: the lid, the cup and the saucer（茶碟）. When the tea service master pours water into the Gaiwan, you will see the water filling from the air into Gaiwan, with a lively sound. In a moment, water stops. Then look at the Gaiwan. The water in it is just right at the level of the Gaiwan's mouth, with a simple drip（水满）on the desk. This is a unique（独特的）skill, as well as an art.
No matter where you are in Chengdu, in a quiet park or in a busy street, you can see those featured tea houses. They have fair price and good service. People can stay there for half a day, having only a cup of tea and little snacks. In the talks of friends and neighbors, the colorful tea culture of Sichuan is fully expressed.

As it is well known, saying “no” is not easy at all. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. To learn to say “no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us about it. There are some common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”.
You want to help others. You are a kind soul(灵魂) at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may take up your time.
Afraid of being rude. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is rude. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important. It means not making others look bad or lose faces.
Wanting to be agreeable. At times, you find you are not in agreement. You don’t want to keep yourself away from the group, so you agree to do others’ requests.
Fear of conflict(冲突). The person might be angry if you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects(影响) in the future.
Fear of losing opportunities. Sometimes, saying “no” means closing doors or losing opportunities. It may make you feel worried. For example, one of my friends was asked to work in another department(部门) in her company. Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion(晋升) opportunities in the future.

And any type of exercise may be helpful. The idea that moving can affect our moods is not new. Many of us would probably say that we feel less cranky(烦躁)or①_________relaxed after a jog or visit to the gym.
