2 . He is one of the most famous bears in the world. In Britain, his name is known by almost everyone. During a trip to China on March 3, Britain’s PRINCE William even met the famous bear at the Chinese opening of the film Paddington.
Paddington first came into the British people’s life in 1958 in a children’s book A Bear Called Paddington by British writer Michael Bond. In the story, Paddington is kind and humorous. He is also polite and always calls people “Mr.” “Mrs.” “Miss”, seldom using their first names.
Such a cute bear caught people’s hearts at once. Many British people were raised (养育) on tales of Paddington. The children’s story shows British people treating others in trouble kindly. Paddington gets away from an earthquake in Peru and travels to London in search of a new home. The Brown family find him and take him home. They name him after the station where they found him.
As time went on, Paddington became popular in other countries. He first came out on TV in 1975. He’s also been made into toys with different costurnes(装束). Many children would have had a Paddington bear toy as their first gift.
In the movie, Paddington’s favorite food is marmalade (柑橘酱) sandwiches. In fact, marmalade used to be very popular in Britain. Do you like Paddington’s blue duffle (粗呢) coat?
He got it from the Brown family shortly after they took him home from Paddington’s Station. Now it’s quite fashionable on the city streets. Although in the movie the bear wears no shoes, in books he’s usually wearing a pair of boots (靴子) which is also popular in Britain. It is iconic(符号的) of the British music festival in summer. Britain’s infamous wet weather means many people wear a pair of boots at music festivals.
Paddington is so loved that it’s common to find plates and tea sets with Paddington patterns (图案) in British homes. Paddington has a special expression. He is known for giving a hard stare (瞪视) whenever he meets someone he dislikes. So, when somebody gives a hard stare, you could say that they’re making a “Paddington Bear Face”.
Today, this classic children’s character has grown into a part of British culture. If you are hoping to understand British culture, meeting Paddington in film and books is one way to take the first step.

3 . Having a hobby is a great way to feel happy and meet new people. In fact, there are lots of hobbies that are good for you.
Hobbies are simply anything that you do for fun. You aren’t getting paid to do it; it’s something you like to do in your free time. For a lot of people these days, it seems like their only free time activities are watching TV and staying on the Internet. That’s a pity, because hobbies—from mountain climbing to collecting something—can really improve your life in some way.
Hobbies often provide something that you might not get in your everyday life. They allow you to do something that’s just for you, and they can help you forget your daily problems and give you lots of pleasure.
If you can find people with similar interests in your area, going outside can also be a great way to meet new people and experience new unusual journeys.
If you are adding a new thing into your life, you have to take time and draw your attention away from something else. The good news is that most of us have much time we’re not using well, either because we’re spending tons of time online or watching TV or just wasting time that we could spend on hobbies.
Of course everyone is different and your personality(个性)does play a role in what kinds of hobbies you like. Maybe you really like hanging out with friends, so you need to take a class or have an interest that you can do with a group; if you travel a lot, something that you can do anywhere is helpful; if you’re a homeboy, you might love to be all around by a cool collection.
The truth is that you may not hit the perfect activity for you right out of the gate ,but you can have much fun trying out new things and finding out what’s out there. Do some web searches, visit the library, don’t be afraid to try new things, and soon you’ll have a hobby that provide you with lots of fun and stress relief(减轻),too.

4 . How many of your classmates wear a pair of glasses? About 60 percent of Chinese students had shortsightedness(近视) in 2013, according to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health.
If you find that you can’t see things clearly, the first thing you should do is to go to the doctor and find out if you have shortsightedness. If you really have shortsightedness, you need to wear proper glasses to make things easier for eye to see. “Although wearing glasses can hardly help to recover (恢复) your eyesight (视力), it is helpful to make your eyes relaxed and so may slow down the progression of shortsightedness,” experts say.
On the other hand, your habit of using eyes is also important to help control the development shortsightedness. For example, doing eyes protection exercises at school, spending more time outdoors and looking farther sometimes while studying are good for your eyes.
Many children may feel embarrassed at first. But don’t be. With glasses in different shapes and styles, you can find a pair that makes you look fashionable. Also, as technology develops, life becomes easier for people with glasses. Shortsighted people can wear sunglasses. But this may not be OK for high-degree (高度数) shortsighted (greater than 600 degrees) because of the thickness of the lenses (镜片). What’s more, some shops including online ones also sell special glasses made for shortsighted people to play sports. It’s also expected that one day shortsighted people may have special 3D glasses for TV and movies.
With smart phones and pads, our lives have become more colorful. However, spending much time reading, texting and gaming through them is bad for eyes. Here are some useful tips to protect your eyesight.
1. When you use a computer, don’t get too close. Sit in your chair and extend (伸出) your arms. Your palms (手掌) should rest comfortably on the screen.
2. When you use mobile phones or pads, keep them far enough from your eyes and just below eye level (水平). Try not to use them in direct sunlight.
3. Control your time in front of them. Experts suggest that kids should spend no more than one or two hours on screens a day.
4. Remember to take a break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.

On a hot day, many people like to go to the beach. Some beaches, however, are not safe（安全）for swimming. If the water is not clean, it isn’t safe to swim. At some beaches, there are sharks（鲨鱼）in the water.
At some beaches, people put out shark nets（网）. They help stop too many sharks from getting close to the beach. Sharks can still swim under or around the net. But if they try to swim through, they will get caught（被抓住）. Sharks can die if they are not cut free.
Shark nets don’t just catch sharks. They can catch other animals, too. Once, a whale was swimming with her baby. The baby whale got caught in a shark net. The mother whale tried to get her baby to come with her. The baby whale was twisted（缠住）up in the net. It couldn’t get free. The mother had to watch it die.
Many people think shark nets should not be used. Sharks are important in the ocean（海洋）. They eat dead（死的）fish. They help to keep the ocean clean. Sharks eat live fish, too. This stops there being too many fish in the sea. Sharks are the lions and tigers of the sea. Some people think there are better ways to keep the beach safe for people. Shark spotters are people who watch for sharks. They go to a high place. Then they can look down on the beach. If they see a shark, a siren（汽笛）will sound. They put up a white flag. Then people know to get out of the water. Now people in South Africa are moving the shark nets away because they don’t want to use the shark nets any more. At some beaches, people begin to use shark spotters instead.
After all, the water is sharks’ home.

6 . Proverbs(谚语)are popular around the world. They are short expressions that usually pass on some type of wisdom. Many proverbs give advice about how to live. Some proverbs are hundreds of years old, but people still use them today.
The English language has a very large number of proverbs. One is “Better late than never.” This means it is better to do something late than never to do it. Another is “Two heads are better than one.” This means a second person can often help one person to do something. And “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a common saying. It means that eating apples every day helps you to keep healthy. So the person will not get sick and won’t have to see a doctor.
In different situations, people use proverbs to express special meanings. For example, my son is just like his father in many ways. We often say the two of them prove the proverb: “The apple does not fall far from the tree.” I also tell my children “Two wrongs do not make a right.” You should not do something bad just because someone did the same to you. Some people often worry about what they will do in a situation that might happen in the future.

10 . Some animals can be trained to help humans. For example, specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too. They can learn how to help people who can't use their arms or legs. The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings, carry shopping bags and do housework.
In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends, but there are a few interesting examples where they can work together. In Africa, the honeyguide bird works with humans to find food. The bird likes to eat the grubs (幼虫) — a type of insect that lives inside a beehive (蜂巢，蜂窝). It knows how to find beehives but it can't open them and get the grubs. People like to eat honey, but they aren't very good at finding beehives, so the bird and the people help each other. The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird.
In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins work as a team. The ocean isn't very clean, so the fishermen can't see the fish. However, dolphins can find them easily by using sounds. When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell the fishermen. Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach. The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets. The fishermen's nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too. In Laguna, fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years. The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins. The dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!
