People make many different kinds of houses around the world. Weather tells us what kind of house we need to make.

In hot places such as south China and south America, the weather is warm so people can be outside most of the time. But they still need to keep themselves safe from the sun, rain and insects. Houses in such places can have screens on their windows and doors. They let the wind into the houses, but keep out the insects.

In Canada, north China and other cold places, houses need to keep out the cold and keep in the heat. These houses need thick walls. lf there is a lot of snow, the roofs(屋顶) need to let the snow fall off easily. These houses cannot have flat roofs. The roofs must also be strong, so they can hold a lot of snow.

What kind of house do you live in? Is it good for the weather you have? 21. How many countries are mentioned(涉及到）in this passage? 22. Why do some houses need thick walls?

23. Would you like to live in the house with screens? Why? 53. Three.

54. Because these houses need to keep out the cold and keep in the heat. 55.复合逻辑，表述正确即可。

Now in the United States, I am trying to learn new school rules. My school has clear rules. As for clothes, we must wear school uniforms. We can wear brown, black or gray trousers and shoes. Our shoes must be made of leather or canvas (帆布). No trainers or boots can be at school. We must change into the PE uniform and trainers before doing sports.

The break time between each class is only four minutes. We need to get to the classroom for the next class on time. Sometimes, there is even no time to go to the restroom. We usually put all the books in school bags two minutes before class is over.

If we are late, we must give a good reason or a permission (允许) card from the teacher of the last class. Or we will get lower scores. If we are late five times in one term, then we will be called truants (逃学者). This may bring us a detention (课后留校).

. How much time do the students have between classes? 65. Do you like wearing school uniforms? Why or why not?

A volunteer in the future

There are lots of volunteers around us now. They don't do it for money. They do it only for happiness or for others.

If I have a chance to join a Volunteer Club, I will try my best to help others. In my class, I am good at Maths and Science. I can help my classmates who are in trouble if I am free. In the primary school, I can help teach young students paint because I am good at drawing. And I am good at singing, so I can sing songs to cheer up the sick people in hospital. Also, I can help the old people in the old people's home. I can do the housework for them because I think the old people will be very tired if they do the housework by themselves.

Except(除了) these, I can do some other things. Not only I feel good about helping others, but also I do something useful. So I think I should study hard to improve my skills and I will help others more in the future.

Netherlands is the first country to build such houses.

Scientists decide to build five houses with 3-D printers. They will finish the first house in 2019. It will be a three-bedroom house. For the first house, only the walls will be 3-D printed. A 3-D printer will print it with a special cement(水泥).The cement looks like cream. The printer will print it layer upon layer to build the walls. After that, workers will make the walls stronger. When they start working on the fifth house, the scientists hope that they can build most parts of the house with 3-D printing.

Dear Sandy,

How are you? This week we did a project on the history of London.

My grandfather said that London in the 1950s was a terrible place to live because the air pollution was so bad. There were many factories and they caused a 1'ot of smoke. This smoke caused heavy black fog in the sky. The people of London called this \"smog\".

Sometimes the smog was so thick that people could not see at all. Taxis and buses could not go anywhere as it was too dangerous to drive. The smog was also harmful to people's health, and some people found that it was difficult to breathe.

In 1965, the government made new laws about the pollution, and the air got much cleaner. Today it is clean and we never see smog in London.

Now, people from all over the world come to live in London. My grandfather says that this is
