Street art is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on building, sidewalks and street signs from Tokyo to Paris.

It is said that the movement(运动) began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to put their words and other pictures on walls and train cars around the city. One well-known street artist(艺术家) is Swoon. She cuts out paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start her career(生涯) as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums and galleries(美术馆). The people enjoyed Swoon’s strong and interesting style.

Street artists do their work for a reason. Some of them choose street art because it is closer to the people. Some artists try to express their political opinions in their works. Advertising companies also use street art in their advertisements. The New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue recently used a street artist’s design for their shop windows and shopping bags.

In today’s world, artists can show their pictures to the people all over the world on the Internet. Many people, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live. Street art lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow. . Did street art start from Paris?

65. Where did the street artists paint at the beginning? 66. What did people think of Swoon’s street art? 67. How did the department store use street art?

Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and age. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, wearing sunglasses can serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays in the strong sunlight.

Some foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for

eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone booths have become fewer in German cities. But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology — books.

Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put benches outside for people to sit down

and take a reading break. “It teaches people about reusing in details, about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning,” said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many cities across Germany. These libraries are supported by donations and taken care by local volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books. It takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.

Each of Berlin’s three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away.

Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will.

One woman named Petra Rücker, a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. “I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,” Rücker said. “It looks interesting.” This time, she left without a book. “But I will certainly be back here,” she said.

. Are telephone booths very popular in Germany? 65. How long does it take to replace the old books?

66. Why are there no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow? 67. Did Petra Rücker leave the booth with a book or without a book? 68. What are the main points about the passage?

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.

When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.

Recently, scientists have studied the migration of kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.

So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel. . Do many animals stay in one place?

“Life’s a long, long journey(旅程)” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some idea of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.

Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used

by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life. Try to set goals in some of the following categories. • Education—Will you achieve the • Career—What job do you want to educational goals after finishing take when you grow up? What do high-school? Are you still you need to make your dream come growing and learning? true? • Family—What kind of • Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place? relationship（关系）do you want • Physical—Are you fit enough to do with your parents and other family members? the things you want to do? • Pleasure—How do you want to • Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals? enjoy yourself? Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?

To help make the process (过程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.

Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want. . Is life a long journey according to the passage? 65. Why do you need to set your life goal?

66. What should you consider when you set a family goal? 67. How can we achieve the main goal easily? 68. What does the writer want to tell us?

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.

Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth.

Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface. But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface. You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is

water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out. How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then,when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.Something must be done to prevent water form being polluted.

Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:

●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.

●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!

●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half—and you’ll be just as clean. ●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.

●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full, you’re wasting water! .Does Napoga have time to go to school or not? 65.When is Earth Day?

I always say that we could make our lives better, but I could not do it well once I am in depression. Maybe someone will say the driver is so stupid, we could not find such a man in our real life. But, friends, please read it one more time! Trust me, it can easy our life……

Last Monday I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.

We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the black car whipped his head around and started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him and I mean he was really friendly.

So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This man almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage ─

full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so “Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don’t.”

There are hundreds of funny and strange expressions in the English language. A lot of them include country names or nationalities. Take these examples:

The Dutch（丹麦人）are the target of most English expressions about nationalities. Why are there so many jokes about the Dutch in English? And what do these expressions mean? In the 17th and early 18th centuries, there were three wars between the British and the Dutch, and Dutch became a bad word. So double Dutch means something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand. A Dutch uncle is someone who gives much stronger advice than they need to. There are later expressions, which are funnier and kinder, like to go Dutch, which is nowadays a popular expression. It means to pay for your part of a bill. This often happens when a group of friends have a meal together, and each person pays for the food they ate. I’m a Dutchman is another commonly used expression. This means not being able to believe something.

An expression with a similar meaning to double Dutch is it’s all Greek to me, which means I don’t understand. The expression was made famous in Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar although the expression is actually hundreds of years older.

If you take French leave, you are not present or leave somewhere without permission. For example, you could take French leave from a classroom or the place where you work. This expression is from the 18th century when French people left parties without saying goodbye to the host or hostess.

There are Chinese whispers, which mean confused（令人困惑的）messages. This describes the fact that a message can often change as it is passed from person to person. This expression comes from the First World War when foreigners were often confused by Chinese language.

Many people find English expressions confusing, but now that you know about some of them, you can easily have fun finding out many more funny English expressions.

. Are there many jokes about the Dutch in English? 65. When did Dutch become a bad word? 66. What does “French leave” mean?

67. Which three expressions mentioned above have similar meanings? 68. What do the funny and strange expressions in the passage have in common?

A young woman is waiting for her plane to board at a large airport. In order for the time to go by a bit more quickly, she decides to buy a book and a small bag of biscuits. She takes a seat in the VIP waiting area so that she could enjoy the quietness. Next to her is a small table with the bag of biscuits, and next to that sits a man reading a newspaper. When she's about to take a biscuit, the man takes one.

She's surprised but doesn't say anything and continues to read her book. She thinks to herself, \"Wow, look at this. If I were a bit braver, I would have hit him by now.\" Every time she takes a biscuit, the man, not caring at all, also takes one.

This continues until there is only one biscuit left, and the woman thinks \"I wonder what'll happen now!\" The man takes the last one and divides it in two! \"This is really too much!\" she begins to say, angrily, and takes her things and makes her way towards the exit of the waiting area. When she feels a bit better, after the anger has passed, she sits down at an empty place to avoid having another uncomfortable person sitting next to. She closes her book and opens her handbag to throw it in...and in that moment sees the small bag of biscuits she had bought, unopened.

Children’s Hospital by running 5 miles near Blenheim Palace. It will be held on Sunday, March 25. Mr. Medler knows how important it is to raise funds for the hospital because his girl friend Ella Hughes, who he met when they were students at Oxford Brookes University, is one of the nurses there.

Last year, nearly 1,000 runners took part, raising more than ￡60,000 which funded a care unit and a room where teenage cancer patients can relax. Fundraisers are hoping 1,000 runners can raise ￡100 each for a 10th anniversary (周年纪念) total of about ￡100,000. The raised money could be spent on new toys or other things to make the children’s stay in hospital a happier one.

Do you have sleeping problems? Is it hard for you to

remember or pay attention in class? Do you easily get angry? If your answer is yes, you may be under stress.

Stress is a normal physical response (反应) to things that make people feel worried. In China, 70 percent of the 2,000 students about to take the college or high school entrance examination are under high stress, according to a recent survey by Wuhan University of Hubei province.

Sometimes stress is good for people. It pushes people to do their best, like while getting ready before a big competition or exam. However, too much or long-term stress makes people feel a stress overload (负荷过多), and affects people’s health. When you feel stressed, there are some ways you can deal with (处理) it. Learning to solve small problems in everyday life is helpful. It can help build confidence to move on to life’s bigger ones. Try saying positive things to yourself, like “I will do the best that I can,” or “I can manage this if I take one step at a time.” That encourages you to work toward your goal. It is also important to relax sometimes, for example by getting a good night’s sleep, doing exercises or taking a bath.

But if you are under high stress and can’t handle it by yourself, it is also good to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. Don’t be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. They may comfort you or give you some useful advice. You may feel better just from sharing your problems with them. 271 w .

“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.” “I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”

“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.” “I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-1ife’ friends.”

Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.

For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.

Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.

Is “surfing the net” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms (症状):

●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet. ●You can’t wait for your next online time.

You may already know that hurricanes are storms, they can cause devastating (毁灭性的) waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean. Categories (类别) of Hurricanes

There are five categories of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage (危害) a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, they are strong enough to destory the buildings along the shorelines completely. Hurricane Dangers

When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood (洪水). The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually a calm (平静的) area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through. Hurricane Safety tips

There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips. ＊ Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food. ＊ Tell neighbors, friends, and family members your emergency (紧急的) plans. Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.

＊ If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel, or in an emergency shelter area.

＊ Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured (受伤的) if you go outside.

The idea of teamwork is very important to the success of any team. All coaches talk about

working as one unit, as a team that plays as one. Teamwork and unselfishness (无私) create the strong center of a great team; without them a team cannot play well against other teams. You can have a group of superstars, but if they do not work well as one unit, they are not going to be successful. The team working as one unit is going to be successful.

Here are some things to consider when you are looking at your team: ◆ Does your team have agreed-upon goals they created as a team? ◆ Do the players openly encourage and support one another?

◆ Do they have open communication with one another, as well as the coaches? ◆ Does each player know what their role on the team is? ◆ Is there shared respect among the players and coaches? ◆ Do players use words such as “we” when referring to the team? ◆ Have they created a positive (乐观的) team image for themselves? ◆ Does the team as a whole want to improve their performance? ◆ Does each member consider themselves as a “team player” ?

A winning team has players that share common goals and a common dream. Teams come together through shared attitudes about a particular sport. They may come together for a number of different reasons, but their goals are the same — to achieve top performance and experience success. The ends may be different but the means by which one gets there is the same — teamwork.

Teamwork is something that must be on the top of the list. Every player needs to understand how important it is for them to work smoothly together if they want to be successful. Each player must be true to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly. When challenges (挑战) come, the team needs to deal with them in a positive manner. A sense of teamwork will play an important part in this.
