Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traff
20、ic. Im very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr and Mrs Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18,the daughter Chin-da, who is 16,and grandpa and grandma.I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, a
21、nd 30 percent in Thai. Ive learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. Im learning all about Thai food and culture. People dont use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, Im going to cook you a real Thai meal.Last weekend we
22、 visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great. But Sanan and Chinda say that next month theyre taking me to Phuket Island. The beaches there are even more beautiful. The month after next, were going to travel to Mr Phairats hometown in the north of Thaila
23、nd. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. Im going to ride those elephants-and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say its really fun.Im amazed by everything in this country, especial-ly by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have bee
24、n a tradi-tional symbol of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace.

29、 Some people think it is healthy and clean. Other drink bottled water because its easy-you can carry around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in summer.However, making lots of plastics is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil f
30、or plastic products. We usually use oil as a source（来源） of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles w made, we wouldnt need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldnt need so much space for rubbish dumps（垃圾桶）.But in Greece，we dont
31、 recycle much of the plastic we use. Last year，Greeks（希腊人）recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became Rubbish on land and in rivers and seas. So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But
32、what can you do when there isnt a recycling bin around you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a diffe
33、rence.1.Some people like drinking bottled water, because they think it isA. easy and environmental B. beautiful and cheapC. healthy and cleanD. light and delicious2.Plastic products are made fromA. treesB. cornC. oilD. stones3.of plastic waste became rubbish in Greece last year.A.10%B.50%C.80%D.90%4
34、.Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles?A. To make a piggy bankB. To recycle themC. To make a plant potD. To drop them into the river5.The underlined part in this passage tells us“ ”.A. To make a different life, youd better go outsideB. To be different, youd better wear green clothe
35、sC. To go green, you should use plastic productsD. To protect the environment, you can do something（七）Is Fruit Juice Healthy?You might think that drinking fruit juice is healthy. But thats not quite true. A recent study published （出版）in US medical journal（期刊）shows that drinking too much juice-even 1
36、00-percent natural fruit juice-will increase your risk of early death.This is mainly because these drinks have a lot of sugar. According to scientists, drinking too much fruit juice is just like drinking too much soda（汽水）-they both have a lot of sugar. Taking in too much sugar can cause many health
37、problems, such as weight gain, heart disease，and diabetes（糖尿病）.Although there are also vitamins and minerals（矿物质）in fruit juice，the a-mount is too small to make up for the harm these drinks do.In the study，“sugary drinks” were defined（定义） to include both sugar sweetened（添加糖的）drinks like soda and 100
38、-percent natural fruit juice. Scientists found that if people get 10 percent or more of their energy from sugary beverages every day, they will be 44 percent more likely to die from heart disease and 14 percent more likely to die from other diseases.This is why some cities in the US have increased p
39、rices for sugary beverages. This will discourage people from buying them. As Jean Welsh, one of the researchers in the study, told CNN,“ Sugary beverages, whether soft drinks or fruit juices, should be limited.”But limited by how much? Scientists say kids be-tween 1 and 6 years old should drink less
40、 than 170 ml of fruit juice per day. Adults and children older than 6 should not drink more than 230 ml per day.Did you know?Does this mean that eating fruit is also unhealthy? Fruit is still fine, as it turns out. When you eat 100 g of fruit, youre getting less sugar than if you drink 100 g of juic
41、e because the fruit has lots of fiber（纤维）.This fiber is also good for our stomachs. Its better to eat whole fruit and avoid fruit juice, if you can.1.What will happen if people take in too much sugar every day?A. They will lose some weight.B. They might have sleep problems.C. They will get fewer vit
42、amins.D. They might die from heart disease.2. What do some US cities do to get people to drink fewer sugary drinks?A. They increase the prices for fresh fruit.B. They close shops that sell sugary drinks.C. They set higher prices for sugary beverages.D. They dont allow shops to sell sugary drinks to
43、kids.3.What does the underlined word “beverages” mean in the third paragraph?A.糖B.饮料C.水果D.汽水4.If you dont want to gain weight, which of the following would you choose?A.A whole fruit.B. Sugar sweetened drinks.C.A lot of sugar.D.100-percent natural fruit juice.5.What does the story mainly tell us?A.
44、Fruit juice is a kind of sugary drink.B. Fruit juice is not as healthy as we think.C. People take in too much sugar every day.D. Drinking soda can cause many health problems.（八）Is there anything more important than health? I dont think so. “Health is the greatest wealth（财富），” wise people say. You ca
45、nt be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, ear-ache or bad pain in the stomach, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure（血压），I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will test
46、your blood pressure, feel your pulse, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs（肺），or have your chest x-rayed（胸片）.After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to followed his advice.Speaking about doctors advice, I cant help telling you a funny
47、 story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, bad memory and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor checked him and said there was no medicine for his illness. He told his patient（病人）to go to a qui-et place for a month and have a good rest. He also ad-vised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In
