During my visit to a school in Canada, what I heard most often were words like these: “Please do in pairs”, “Four students a group”. In Canada, students act in groups. Their team spirit really surprised me.
This was a writing lesson. The teacher asked the students to work in groups. It meant they wrote one article together! A group had five students. The first student wrote the beginning of the story. He had only one minute. He had to pass his unfinished article to the next student when the teacher said, “Stop!” The second student went on with the story, and then the third, the fourth and finally the fifth one. The last student tried his best to finish the story with a good ending. Each of them had the same time limit.
The students soon finished their articles. They were all excited because the lesson actually went like a competition. Learning how to write through competing should be fun to students. I think our Chinese kids would not be afraid of writing any more, if they had a lesson like this.
We all know that cooperation is important, but how to develop this ability I do think we can learn something from schools in Canada. Maybe it’s a good idea to begin with group activities!

Every town in the United States has a post office. Some are very small, and you may also find them in the corner of a shop. Others are large buildings.They are open five days a week and on Saturday mornings. From Monday through Friday they are usually open from 8:30 to 4:30.
If you know how much the postage is for your letter, you can buy stamps at any window. In some post offices you can buy stamps from machines. Stamps are sold at many different prices, from one cent to many dollars. If you are not sure how much postage is for your letter, you may ask the man or the woman in the post office for help.

Mr and Mrs Kelly had been married for fifteen years. Every day, when Mr Kelly came home from work, he would come in the front door and call out, “Hi, honey, I’m home!” and Mrs Kelly would call back, “Hi, sweetheart, I’m in the kitchen!” or “Hi, sweetheart, I’m in the living room.”
But lately, when Mr Kelly came home and called out, Mrs Kelly didn’t say anything, and Mr Kelly was getting worried. There were other times when she didn’t answer him when he spoke to her or asked her a question. He wondered if his wife was becoming deaf.
He asked the doctor for advice. “What should I do ” he asked the doctor. “Should I buy her some hearing aids ”
The doctor told him that he should do some tests at home first, to be certain there really was a problem.
“Find out just how bad her hearing is, and then ask her to come in and see me,” he said.

He went to the kitchen and saw Mrs Kelly standing near the kitchen sink preparing dinner.
“Ah,” he said to himself, “this is my chance to test her hearing.”
Standing at the door, he asked “What’s for dinner tonight, dear ”
There was no answer, so he moved closer, and asked again. “What’s for dinner tonight, dear ”
But again there was no answer, and now Mr Kelly was very worried. He came closer and stood right behind her. He asked her a third time.
Mrs Kelly turned around and shouted, “For the third time, it’s chicken!”

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94％ correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be 51％ correct of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91% people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile!
1. How does the eye-recognition program work
A. You write your number.
B. You show your ID card.
C. You look at the machine.
D. You say your name.
2. The recognition program of remembering _____ is already in use.
A. eyes and smell B. fingers and voices C. faces and voices D. hands and faces
3. Why can the program be up to 94％ correct
A. Because eyes never change.
B. Because hands or fingers may get dirty.
C. Because people like the idea of the program.
D. Because the program is widely used around the world.
4. Which of the following is TRUE
A. The program is being tested in Japan.
B. Computers can remember you by looking at your clothes.
C. more than 90% people like the idea of the program in Britain.

American people like to say “Thank you” whenever others help them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table. When someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say “Excuse me” behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to interrupt others while they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.
Let’s all learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”.

It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
“What’s the matter, Tom How’s your trip ” his mother asked with a big smile.
“I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way, I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried.
“It doesn’t matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance.” his mother said.
“But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said.
