1I admire my mother most. She loves my brother and me so much that she would do everything for us. At the same time, she always encourages us to be independent and try our best to do what we like. As a teacher, she has also set a good example for me.

She has worked as a primary school teacher for about 30 years and she has never got tired of her work. She spends a lot of time helping her students, especially those with learning difficulties. I'm very proud of her. Live and work with pleasure – this is what I have learned from her. 2 1. Baruti was born in the year (1962).

2. He was the (fourth / 4th)child in a very big family. 3. Baruti married his wife in (1990)

4. Together they opened an orphanage in (1996)

3Baruti was born in Johannesburg. His father was a 1)(teacher)and his mother 2)(cleaned houses)for rich people. When Baruti was in school, one of his friends 3)(lost)his parents and moved to an orphanage. Baruti 4)(visited)him and when he saw his life there, he decided to 5)(work)with orphans. Later he opened an orphanage with 6)(his wife).

Baruti regards Mother Teresa as his hero and his favorite book is Long Walk to Freedom, the story of Nelson Mandela's life 7)(in his own words). 4Mother Teresa's words tell us that small things can make a great

difference. Few of us can do anything great, but we can all do small things with great love.

My favorite book is Steve Jobs. The book is based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, foes, competitors, and colleagues. Jobs spoke honestly about the people he worked with and competed against. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly too. So through the book, readers can not only read about the life of the

legendary Steve Jobs, but also have a genuine view of his personality that shaped his approach to business and his products.

When I was seven years old, my parents bought a new wall clock with an owl inside. I was very curious about how the owl moved its eyes and gave out sound. One day, I took the clock off the wall, and took it apart with a screwdriver. After an hour, I still couldn't figure out how the clock worked, and I couldn't put all the parts together. I was scared. But when my father found what I had done, instead of scolding me, he praised me for my eagerness to learn. And he taught me how to assemble the clock.

This experience made me love my father more. And more importantly, I fell in love with mechanics since then. That's why I chose mechanics as my major.

5The man I like should be strong and fit, without a beard. And he should not have long hair. The woman I like most is someone who is slim and healthy. She should have long hair and big eyes. And I like girls who smile a lot. I believe everyone has something beautiful about them, regardless of age, race, gender, size, ability, etc. I don't think being lighter or slimmer equals beauty. Instead, I think the inner self counts a lot more than outer appearance. Virtues such as honesty, hard-working, and willingness to help make one a beautiful person. / Beauty is what we see and feel. So my idea of beauty is what is pleasing to the eyes. As long as it makes you feel good, it is beauty. So both inner qualities and body features are important factors to make one look beautiful. Of course, what one considers beautiful may not appear the same to someone else. That is why beauty standards are different from person to person, culture to culture and time to time.

The ideas of beauty have changed over the past several decades in China. Truly, on the one hand, many still stick to the idea that one's inner quality counts more than outer appearance. Honesty, hard-working, generosity, and kindness are considered inner beauty. On the other hand, more and more people think outer appearance is more important. Nowadays, many people, especially young people, hold some new ideas about beauty. For example, long straight black hair used to be thought as one feature of beauty, but now young people want to look stylish by having their hair curled and dyed. They follow the fashion trend and put on fashionable clothes and wear make-up. More people are afraid of not looking

attractive enough. So they go on diet to look thinner and receive some cosmetic surgeries to look better. Still many others realize that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle and learn to love their own body for its uniqueness.

I don't think it is wise to judge a person by his / her appearance because appearance

is superficial. Sometimes the appearance of a person may mislead your judgment when it doesn't match well with the inner part of that person. For example, an ordinary-looking person can be a scientist, a hero, or a great thinker. Just as the proverb goes, \"Never judge a book by its cover.\" The greatness of a book lies in its content instead of its cover. So it is with a person. Instead of focusing only on one's appearance, we should get to know more about that person's education, life experiences and life attitude before we make any judgment. 2-4 Viewing 2-5 Pronunciation 2-6 Role-playing

So I froze, like a statue … I didn't move … and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and didn't move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking … I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn’t move. In the end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away.

First, we tried to buy tickets online, but all tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of course, I was very disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to see if someone would be selling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. But just when we were about to leave, a man came up to us and said he had an extra ticket because his friend couldn't make it due to an emergency. We were overjoyed. Immediately, my dad bought the ticket, and told me to rush in – he would wait outside. Finally, I was able to

watch the game between the Chinese team and the German team. I enjoyed the game greatly and I was excited when China won. The best thing was that I saw Yao Ming. What a wonderful experience! 3-4 Viewing 3-5 Pronunciation 3-6 Role-playing Extract 1:

Most people like to keep a healthy diet during the holiday season starting from Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year. There are many social events to 1)(celebrate) and we love to look our best. We also need healthy food to 2)(provide us with) the energy necessary to go to all of these parties with enthusiasm.

But the unfortunate reality is that many of us have a hard time 3)(sticking to) healthy eating habits during the holidays. We face more 4)(challenges) at this time than we do during the rest of the year. Starting from Thanksgiving, many of us are already

5)(anticipating) gaining some weight. The holiday season is when we bring out abundant

and delicious food. Turkey, ham, cakes and other great foods attract us to eat larger

6)(portions) than we need. Many of us are more likely than usual to 7)(stuff) ourselves,

and not always with the healthiest food. Moreover, the holiday season is a busy, and often stressful, time of year. We are rushing too much, spending too much, and letting stress

8)(take hold of) us too often. This can lead to emotional eating, that is, eating too much

or too little.

Luckily, there are some 9)(effective) ways to fight holiday eating problems. Learn about the causes of and solutions for emotional eating. Eat some healthy food before you go to a party so that you won't eat too much there. Exercise after the party is over. All these

10)(strategies) can help you curb holiday eating without reducing your holiday joy. 3.BD AD

6.I'm similar to the second woman. Like her, I also enjoy practicing yoga. It helps me relax

I'd like to learn from the second man. I should ride a bike, and go to the gym more

1.I think this may be true. As people are increasingly realizing the importance of health,

they would get rid of unhealthy foods and eat only healthy foods. / I don't think this will be true. People enjoy different kinds of food. So a diet without a variety of food will be too boring and life will sound dull and meaningless.

2. Food pills may become more popular, but I don't think they can be a substitute for

normal meals. They can be supplementary to normal meals, but they should not be the standard food because they are not as healthy as real food. Besides, we are accustomed to eating different kinds of food with different kinds of flavors. Life will be boring if we could only eat food pills. / I think this prediction will be true. As the pace of life is getting faster, people are looking for convenient and efficient way to eat. Food pills could be the solution.

3. I don't think this will happen. Certain food has certain flavor. When people get the same

food, it should taste the same. It's hard to imagine that the same food can change its flavor for different people. / I think this may happen. In the future, with some advanced technology, it may be possible to program different flavors for the same kind of food. As

a result, with the same food, different people can have different flavors by simply pushing a button.

1.This might happen, but it won't happen soon. In fact, there is enough food in today's

world for everyone, but it is not available to some people who need it. 2. I agree. Although we all know that junk food is not good for health, it is very likely that

people will eat more unhealthily in the future. As the modern pace of life is getting quicker, people will have to eat fast food more frequently for convenience.

3. I don't agree. Although more people have realized the negative effect of eating too

much meat, I don't think people will stop eating animals in the future. The human body needs meat and meat is delicious.

4. This may happen. With the ever expanding population, there will not be enough food

for everyone in the world. This may lead to a rise in food prices. As a result, many people will have to grow their own food, because otherwise, they would have to spend a large sum of money on food.

5. This may happen. Actually, in recent years, there is an increasing tendency that people

are spending less time with their family. With competition getting stronger, many people have to work overtime and return home late, so they do not

have enough free time to eat with their family members. This situation will probably get worse in the future.

6. I don't agree. Although it's getting popular to order food online, I don't think the next

generation may thus not know how to cook. Cooking is not difficult to learn. The next generation may spend less time on cooking, but they will certainly cook because this is life and cooking can be an interesting hobby. 6-4 Viewing 6-5 Pronunciation 6-6 Role-playing 1.DBFEAC

There are many factors that affect a person's sleep. Stress is the number one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include school- or job-related

1)(pressures), and serious illness in the family. Usually the sleeping problems 2)(disappear)

when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping

problems are not managed properly from the beginning, they can last long and thus 3)(compromise) good health.

Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems, too. Drinking coffee or 4)(alcohol) in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime, following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or doing other mentally 5)(intense) activities right before or after getting into bed can interrupt sleep.

Traveling also 6)(interferes with) sleep, especially traveling across several time zones. This can 7)(undermine) your biological rhythms and cause sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep. Environmental factors such as a room that's too hot or cold, too noisy or too bright can be an obstacle to sound sleep. Other influences to 8)(pay attention to) are the comfort

and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner. If you have to sleep beside someone who has different sleeping habits, breathes in a noisy way, or 9)(suffers from) other sleeping difficulties, it often becomes your problem too!

Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interrupt regular sleep patterns. Industries are working round the clock to be 10)(competitive), so some people have to work at night; with nonstop automatic communication systems, people are communicating day and night.

All these make sleeping at regular times difficult. 3.DD CA

2. I would like to make a documentary about whales. Whales are large, intelligent, aquatic

mammals. They live their entire lives in the ocean. Because they are rare to be seen, I would like to provide people with information such as their types, size, migration, reproduction, and social behavior. People should be interested in seeing how whales live in the ocean. 7-3 Listening

According to a new study, happiness in life has more to do with respect and influence than wealth. Researchers say that they got interested in this idea because there is abundant 1)(evidence) that higher income or wealth does not contribute to happiness much at all. At the same time, many theories suggest that higher status should 2)(enhance) happiness. The researchers put their idea to the test in a set of studies. First, they 3)(interviewed) 80 college students. The amount of respect the students received from their peers was

4)(rated) based on peer evaluation, self-reports and the number of leadership positions

the students held. The researchers also 5)(took into account) the students' family income and asked them about their social well-being. They found

the admiration the students received from their peers 6)(forecast) their social well-being. However, their wealth or income did not. Similar results 7)(emerged) in another study with a larger group of students.

In a final study, the researchers followed graduate students in business schools.

They noted that respect had more to do with the students' well-being after graduation than the money they made.

One of the reasons why money doesn't buy happiness is that people quickly 9)(adapt themselves to) the new level of income or wealth. Lottery winners, for example, are initially happy but then return to their 10)(original) level of happiness quickly.
