Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV. Here are the results.We found that only fifteen percent of our student
9、s exercise every day. Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week. Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week. And twenty percent do not exercise at all.We all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. T
10、he other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week. Most students use it for fun and not for homework.The answer to our questions about watching television were also interesting. Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week. Thirteen percent watch TV four to six t
11、imes a week. And eighty-five percent watch TV every day! Although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular.It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows,but we think the best way to relax is through exercise. It is healthy for the mind and the body.Exerci
12、se such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“old habits die hard”. So start exercising before its too late!Unit 3 Im more outgoing than my sister.2d conversation:A:Did you like the singing competition yesterday,Anna?B:Oh,it w

14、most important thing is to learn something new and have fun.2b passage:My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. Im quieter and more seriours than most kids. Thats why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too,so we enjoy studying together. Im shy
15、so its not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books - you dont need a lot of them as long as theyre good.Its not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outstanding than me. We both like sports,but he plays tennis better
16、,so he always wins. However,Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So Im getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working,though. I always get better grade than he does,so maybe I should help him more.I dont really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite sayi
17、ng is,A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart. My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact,shes funnier than anyone I know.

20、t something,but some people are talented. Its always interesting to watch other people show their talents. Talent shows are getting more and more popular. First,there were shows like American Idol and Americans Got Talent. Now,there are similar shows around the world,such as Chinas Got Talent.All th
21、ese shows have one thing in common:They try to look for the best singers,the most talented dancers,the most exciting magicians,the funniest actors and so on. All kinds of people join these shows. But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully? Thats up to you to decide. When people
22、 watch the show,they usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the winner always gets a very good prize.However,not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of the performers are made up. For example,some people say they are poor farmers,but in fact they are just actors
23、. However,if you dont take these shows too seriously,they are fun to watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.Unit 5 Do you want to watch a game show ?2d conversation:Grace: What did you do in class today,Sarah?

We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears-Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago,he
26、 first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928,it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s,he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how t
27、his cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man,but he always tried to face any danger.In his early films,Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend,Minnie.However,he was always ready to try his best.People went t
28、o the cinema to see thelittle manwin.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18, 1979, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

31、u know what a resolution is? Its a kind of promise. Most of the time ,we make promises to other people. (Mom,I promise Im going to tidy my room when I get back from school.)However,promise you make to yourself are resolutions and the most common kind is New Years resolutions. When we make resolution
32、s at the beginning of the year,we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.There are different kinds of resolut
33、ions. Some are about physical health. For example,some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos,or learn to pl
34、ay the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning,like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.Although there are differences,most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them ! Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about
35、 them. For this reason,some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you will you make any next year?Unit 7 Will people have robots?2d conversation:A:What are you reading, Jill? B:It is book about the future.A:Sounds cool. So what will the future be like？ B:Well,cities wil

37、a prat in saving the earth.2b passage:Do you think you will have your own robots?1、When we watch movies about the future, we sometimes see robots. They are usually like human servants. They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places. 2、Today there are already robot
38、s working in factories. Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored. 3、Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some r
39、obots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know wher
40、e they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. 4、Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many differen
41、t shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers
42、 and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!Unit 8 How do you make a banana milk shake?2b conversation:A: Sam, I want to make Russian soup for a party on Saturday. Can you tell me how?S: Sure.

45、d in the autumn.At this time,people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 400 years ago.These travelers had a long,hard winter,and many of them died.In the next autumn,they gave thanks for life and food in their new home.These days,most Americans still cele
46、brate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey,a large bird.Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.
