People have breakfast at any time from seven to nine in the morning. They eat porridge, eggs or bread. English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast. Lunch comes at one o’clock. Afternoon tea is from four to five in the afternoon and dinner is about half past seven. First they have soup, and then they have meat or fish with vegetables. After that they eat some other things, like bananas, apples or oranges.
But not all English people eat like that. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast, dinner, tea and supper and all these meals are very necessary.

3 . There are some ways to improve your English, but I think the most important thing is to make English all around you. Here’s some advice for you.
Listen to the radio in English. If there are no English radio stations where you live, listen to one on the Internet.
Watch TV and movies in English. If you have English channels on your TV, watch them. If there are no English channels, you can buy some DVDs of English movies.
Speak English to your friends. You can find a friend who is good at English and speak English with him as much as possible. You’d better find friends whose native language is English. Ask your friend to correct you when needed.
Study or travel to an English-speaking country. Of course the best way to improve your English is to live in English environments. You’ll find yourself surrounded（围绕）with the language everywhere. It can be a more difficult and expensive choice, but you may find it to be a very valuable and helpful experience.

The relationship between parents and children is one of the longest lasting connection in life. How can you show love for your parents? Here are some ways.
Spend time together. 3. Doing activities that you all enjoy can help you understand your parents better. For example, if you like rock climbing, invite your parents to an easy climbing wall with you. This gives you the chance to teach them something and that may support your hobby more if they’ve experienced it with you.
Remember that quarreling is normal. Say sorry if you have done or said something hurtful. Learn other ways to express your anger such as writing to a friend for advice. If your parents are doing something that annoys you, try to deal with it calmly and suggest a good way.
Talk to your parents about the things they do that upset you. Your parents don’t know what’s bothering or annoying you, they won’t be able to try to change their behavior. Choose a quiet moment to have a talk with them. Plan what you want to say first in order not to have disagreements with your parents.
Talk to your parents about the challenges you’re facing. As questions about your parents’ experience of being a teenager, because they have useful experience about growing up. 4.Use an example from a TV show or an article as a way to break the ice.Sometimes it’s easier to begin a difficult topic by expressing yourself in writing.

5 . Do the British really get together every afternoon at 4 to sit and drink several cups of tea? Ask any of my German students and they will tell you “YES!” But it’s simply not sure.
We drink over 150 million cups of tea a day in Britain, but there is no special time for it. “Tea” is widely used as a name for the evening meal. This is more common in Scotland and the north of England but you can hear it all over the country. Unusually it is the main meal of the day, eaten between 5 and 7. So “teatime” refers to the meal and not the drink. In the south, the evening meal is often called dinner, however, dinner in the north is the midday meal. In general:
North: Breakfast ﹣﹣ Dinner﹣﹣Teatime
South: Breakfast ﹣﹣ Lunch﹣﹣Dinner
What about tea breaks? Surely this must be a special time for tea? Wrong again, I’m afraid. Tea breaks are just opportunities to have a rest from work for around 10 minutes. In this time you can drink what ever you like (which of course includes tea). This is usually with a small snack, like biscuits. The best time for a tea break is around 11 a.m. or around 3 p.m.
But what about tea rooms? Can I drink tea there? Yes! A tea room is the perfect place to go with friends and family to enjoy tea, cakes and sandwiches. This is known as afternoon tea and is usually served for special occasions (场合) such as a birthday party.
Teatime, tea breaks, afternoon tea…How could you possibly get muddle up?

6 . For people, it’s not surprising that we can open a door, lift a heavy box and control ourselves while walking in the snow. But can a robot do this? Well, Google’s new robot, Atlas, can not only do these things, but it can also stand up if it falls down. Although the robot may be slow and clumsy, it was created mainly to work in dangerous places for humans.
Now, robots are much smarter than you might imagine. On March 9 this year, Alpha Go, an artificial intelligence（AI, 人工智能）program made by Google’s Deep Mind, challenged top professional Go player Lee Se-dol from South Korea. And Alpha Go beat Lee 41.
AI means computers or computer software are able to have intelligent behavior, such as thinking or acting like a human. In our daily lives, we already use AI in many ways, like Apple’s Siri and search engines Baidu and Google.
Some people may worry whether computers are now smart enough to beat us at everything. But experts say that isn’t the case. Real life problems can be more difficult than the Go game. For example, humans can watch a person throw down a cup of coffee and know that the result will be a mess on the floor. A computer program would have to know the size of the cup, the height of the cup from the floor and many other things to find out the result. But we never know what will happen in the future.

| A．AI is already used in many ways | B．AI can think and act like a human |
| C．AIpha Go beat Lee Se-dol in the Go game | D．computer can beat humans at everything |
| A．humans will have to follow robot’s orders |
| B．it’s difficult for robots to take human’s place |
| C．robots will be just as common as mobile phones |
| D．people will depend on their robots to do all the things. |

10 . UNICEF is an international charity that helps children around the world. It was set up in 1946 to help children in Europe and China after World War II. It wanted to make life better for those who were badly influenced.
Now, UNICEF has a number of plans and hopes to achieve for children in every country. For example, they think that all children should be able to have safe drinking water. They also work hard to make sure that children can get medicine if they are ill. In many countries, children, especially girls, do not have the chance to go to school, so UNICEF tries to let them get a good education.
UNICEF is different from many other charities because it works with different governments around the world. Though many governments have their own systems (体系) to improve the lives of their children, UNICEF has so much experience that it can advise governments on how to make their systems better. UNICEF has done many great things since it started and will carry on with its work only if people can keep donating money to help it.
