Where do you usually read books? Please share you ideas. Thank you!

In a coffee shop. The taste of coffee smells so nice! On sunny days, you can enjoy the sunshine through the window, on rainy days, you can listen to the sound of rain. Also you can watch different people pass by. They may walk into your book and become part of it.

It was another usual day at school. My parents still ask me to go to the school building, even thought half the students in my class are hardly ever there at all. They prefer to use computers at home to watch and listen to our teacher, and then send their homework by e-mail. My parents have different ideas-they think it is good for me to spend more time with friends of a similar age. I suppose they are right, but I also wish I could spend more time with my robot, as well.

It was raining today, so I was very happy that Mr. Right, the house robot, was waiting to take me home. Mr. Right always takes me to school in the morning and picks me up in the afternoon. It is fun to sit on his back while he flies to the flat where we live. I cannot imagine travelling any other way.

Mr. Right does so many other things, as well. He cleans the house, washes and dries clothes, and cooks a wonderful dinner-as he can tell what temperature the food is and knows exactly when meat or vegetables are perfectly cooked. He also has special eyes, which means when he looks at me, he can tell whether there is anything wrong inside my body. If there is, he can then prepare medicine to cure whatever sickness he has found.

One thing I really like about Mr. Right is that his brain has a connection to the Internet, so he can answer any of my questions in just a few seconds. Another great thing is that when my parents are not at home, he makes me happy. He knows millions of jokes and lots of funny stories. I am so happy he is part of my life.

Today my homework is to write an article about which piece of technology has made my life different. I think you can guess what I will write about. I should go and start my homework.

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to 【1】news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Newspapers have been an important 【2】of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV【3】 can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead, they print stories about plane accidents.

In addition, many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and 【4】in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in Britain, French and American newspaper.

A.neededB.needsC.needn’tD.don’t need

Write a diary of at least 60 words.（寫(xiě)一篇不少于60個(gè)字的日記，標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)不占格）

Suppose you enterd a key school. Today is the first day of the school. Please write a diary about what happened to you and your feeling on that day.(假設(shè)你是一名初三畢業(yè)生，考上了理想的學(xué)校。今天是開(kāi)學(xué)第一天，請(qǐng)用英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)一篇日記，寫(xiě)下這一天的感受)。

That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a _______ resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time_______. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners--some in electronic form--to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing _______for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time.

American lifestyles show how much people honor the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks_______ If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is suitable. Only very close friends will just "drop by" unannounced. Also, people_______ to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.

Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time--like money--slips all too easily through our fingers. And time--like the weather--is very hard to _______. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.

"I found some toilets had no water and had a terrible smell. I thought I should invent something," he said.

Wujiashan High School started an inventing program in 2004 and made “l(fā)ife and invention" a necessary course (課程) for its students. Its students have developed more than 4,700 inventions.
