2 . Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van（住房汽车）.
A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded（拥挤）. A van hold seven persons easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to travel together.
Mr. Hargen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. There are seven seats in the van, and two of them are used to put things on, for a family of five must carry many suitcase（衣箱）when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home, the suitcase are put into the two seats. And then they can carry their grandparents.
Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are traveling to the moutains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks.

If you want to go to visit Shanghai Disneyland, you can learn some thing about it.
Shanghai Disneyland opened on June 16, 2016. It began selling tickets on March 28 through several ways: the official website, Alitrip website and the central phone. Its price is the lowest of all the Disney theme parks. So far, quite a lot of people have booked (预订) tickets.
The park is built in the 963-acre field and costs $5.5 billion. Almost 400 designers and engineers have taken part in the design work. The Disney castle in Shanghai is the tallest and largest one in the Disney family around the world.
When you visit Shanghai Disneyland, you can follow the advice.
Buy souvenirs (纪念品) in advance (提前). Disney is so popular that it is easy to find these souvenirs anywhere. It isn’t necessary for you to buy them at Disneyland because they are too expensive there. You can save a lot of money in this way.
Eat breakfast before you arrive. You can save quite a bit of money by eating breakfast before you go to the park.
Take snacks with you. You can enjoy them in the picnic area. Because the snacks there are too expensive.
To save more money, you can plan your trip during the park’s off-season (淡季) . Lots of things, from airfare (飞机票价) to souvenirs, can be cheaper during these months.

3. Why isn’t it necessary to buy souvenirs at Disneyland?
4. If I want to go to Shanghai Disneyland, when can I save a lot of money?
5. How many pieces of advice are mentioned in this passage?
You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year. You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly.
Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4) Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, your will know it and can stop them.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的).
If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told, the set of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in thought groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words at fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster.

It all started in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. Christopher was a 7-year-old boy who was very sick. He always dreamed of becoming a police officer.

I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.
I wish to have. They often want to have a computer, a game, a bike or many other things.

6 . Lively music, singing and the sound of beating drums fill the room. As an orchestra（管弦乐队）plays, performers dressed in colorful costurnes move across the stage（舞台）. Welcome to Chinese opera.
Chinese opera is an important element（元素）of Chinese culture. Most operas are based on stories from long ago. The amazing stage performances are often set against grand backgrounds. Beautiful paintings, hand movements and martial arts（武术）help tell these famous stories.
There are more than 300 forms of Chinese opera, including Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Yu Opera, Ge Zai Xi and many other forms. Of all of them, Beijing Opera is the most famous. Beijing Opera combines（合并）singing, dancing and acrobatics. Instruments such as drums, bells and cymbals accompany（伴奏）the performances.
Facial design
Traditionally, performers used masks（面具）for their facial design. Today, however, performers use makeup. They paint colorful designs on their faces. These colors and designs help to create each character. For example, a brave character has a red face, while a black face means bold. A yellow and white face represents（代表）someone who is dishonest.
Costurnes
Costurnes give clues（线索）to the performers’ characters and roles. Audiences（观众）that are familiar with opera will get to know a story by the masks and costurnes. Costurnes usually have many designs and colors. The same costurne can be used in different shows, however, it will represent a different character.
Promoting the arts
Many colleges and schools in China desire（渴望）to keep the art of Chinese opera alive. They provide an education system for talented students. Applicants（应试者）must pass a written test, an audition（试镜）and an interview and only the most promising students are accepted to study at these colleges and schools. Once accepted into the program, students begin a seven-to-twelve-year journey through the school. After graduation, many go on to work as professional actors on stage or in the movies.

7 . Social media(媒体)is a big part of most people’s lives. There are social apps and sites like WeChat and Sina Weibo, as well as video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. How do you behave when you use these apps?
Recently researchers at the University of Sussex, UK, studied social media users ranging from 10 to 15 years old. They found that they can be divided into four personality types.
Geeks(极客)
Geeks are active social media users，but they find it mush more difficult to deal with the life in the real world. Most of them are boys who like playing computer games and making music and videos. They often post creative works online, using fake(假的) names. In fact, they should avoid spending too much time on the Internet.
Internet celebrities
Internet celebrities like sharing as well , but they are much more visible (看得见的) than geeks. They might become well-known for their singing or dancing. But many of them, especially teenagers ,share almost every side of their lives in order to own more fans. Being a teenage Internet celebrity can sometimes cause problems in the real world.
Lurkers(潜伏者)
The first two groups are lucky to find a place to show their talent. But most teenagers fall into the third type---- “lurkers”, or people who are neither too active nor visible. This group prefers WeChat over Sina Weibo, as WeChat has private groups. They can’t express themselves well but at least they make sure to protect their personal information.
Victims(受害者)
Victims don't have enough knowledge to keep themselves safe online Their personal information can be made public and cause problems for them. To avoid being a victim, you should check your personal settings on social media.“Friends only” is a good choice for your posts. Don’t share your personal information.

8 . Someone's always watching you online...
How do they get my information? Did you know that when you surf the Web, many websites put secret software on your computer? The software collects a large amount of information about you and sends it to Internet companies. The Internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be collected from social media（媒体）sites. There are many ways your information can be used.
What information do they collect and why? First, companies collect your information. The companies find out where you live, what websites you visit, and what you do online. With this information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess if you are male or female, how old you are, and your interests. The companies use this information to decide which advertisements（广告）are best for you. Two people can go to the same website, but they will see different advertisements. For example, someone who likes sports could see an advertisement for sneakers, and someone who like films might see an advertisement for movie.
What do they do with my information? Your personal information could also be sold. Some companies collect information just so they can sell it to other businesses. A business that collects and sells personal information is called a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits. Then these companies will advertise products or other websites to you.
What online habits are tracked（追踪）? Another way your personal information can be collected is through social media. When your information is on social media, a lot of people can see it. Even if you don't use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media, which is one of the great benefits（福利）. However, that same act of sharing could be problem for your own security（安全）. If someone knows too much about you, they can steal your identity（身份）. Then they can buy things online and post messages while pretending（假装）to be you.
Conclusion. All of your online habits can be recorded. Studying people's online habits is big business. Your personal information is very valuable to companies. That is how they know who to send their advertisements to. The Internet reaches almost every corner of the world, but the danger is that your personal information might travel that far, too.

| A．Do you often lie in bed when you are free? I think it's a bad habit. Going for a walk after meals is good for us to keep fit and healthy. |
| B．Water is a very important thing that we need. Scientists say we should drink at least 2.5 liters（升） of water a day. |
| C．Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. |
| D．Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have. Remember positive memories. Think of the best day(s) you have had in the past month or year. Remember special parties, vacations and holidays. Appreciate the wonderful people you have in your life. |
| E．If you want to reach your goals, you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have, and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven't discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience. |
| F．Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible, but they followed their dreams and succeed. |
| G．Ask yourself the following questions: How do you deal with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are. |
The Globe theatre（环球剧场） in London is a place where most of William Shakespeare’s plays were put on. It was built in 1599. It was an open air playhouse at that time. Shakespeare wrote many plays for this theater. There were three floors(层) in the theater. It had about 3,000 seats. And there was a pit for poor people. What was a pit? It was a place around the stage(舞台). Its tickets were cheaper. People could pay only a penny to stand there to watch a drama. The seats in the three-floor building were for rich people because the tickets were much more expensive.
In 1613, a fire damaged(毁坏) the theater. Later, people repaired(修复) it for some time. In 1977, a new globe theater came out. It is the same size as the old one. The theater is a shopping center there. You can do some shopping before the plays start or after the plays end.
