Is it fair for restaurants to ban(禁止)little eaters In Monronroeville, a local restaurant, McDain’s, recently decided to ban young children. Alice Roseman, its manager, says kids have bad manners and make too much noise. Other people, however, say the rule is hard to accept. Since it has become a hot topic in public, we caught several local people talking about it.
YES There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers. —Kate Barker Kids always cause a mess, but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids’ behaviors. Although kids may be at the center of their parents’ universe, they aren’t at the center of everyone else’s. —Mike Vuick Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner, but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That’s why sometimes parents don’t like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids’ noise. —Dale Levitsky NO Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned, many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids, many families would probably still not eat there. —Nicholas Song Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. But that’s not true. Most children’s eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners, banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all, kids are people, too. —Elliott Hall

Life in the 22nd century will be different from life in the 2lst century, because many changes will take place in the new century. But what will the changes be
The population is growing fast. There will be more and more people in the world and most of them will live longer than puters will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools.
People will work fewer hours than they did in the 21st century, and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for buildings, new towns and houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day, instead, they eat more vegetables and fruits. Maybe people will be healthier.
Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots(机器人). Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a new problem.

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish al home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.

Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. 16 In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized(认可)as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known for his invention at the time
Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experiment with electricity. 17 When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk.
In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 18 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently.
Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires.
19 Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent(专利)on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him.
In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government. 20

8.sent 解析:句意:科学家已经发射了许多宇宙飞船到太阳系中的其他行星。故正确答案为 “sent”。
9.beyond 解析:前面提到“in our solar system(在太阳系中)”,与之对应此处应该是“beyond the solar system(超出太阳系)”。故正确答案为“beyond”。

Recently we’ve made a survey of school Sky English Club. Here are the results. We find fifty-one percent of the students want to practice their spoken English by using the Internet. Twenty-five percent like watching English movies, which can make their holiday life better. Eighteen percent would like to read more English classics because they are interested in them. Six percent hope that they can learn more foreign culture, such as good manners and western festivals.
As far as I know, it’s very helpful to improve English by learning English songs. Maybe we can invite foreigners to introduce good ways to learn English songs. I’m sure all of us will have fun in the Sky English Club.
