Dear students, our country has a long history. Chinese characters usually have more than one meaning and some of them are particularly loved by Chinese people. Here are the top six lucky ones. Please note we use "pinyin" here because "pinyin" is the Chinese spelling system for the characters. For example, "fu" is the "pinyin" for good luck in Chinese. "pinyin" "fu" is only the phonic (语音的 ) part of the character and if you want to know the meaning of good luck "fu", you must read the Chinese character福 because "fu" also represents (代表) other Chinese characters that sound the same.
1.福 "fu" means blessing, good fortune, good luck.
Chinese character福 "fu" is one of the most popular ones used during Chinese New Year. It is often displayed upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down福"fu" means good luck comes since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for "come".
2.禄 "Iu" means prosperity（繁荣）.
It is used to mean official's salary(薪水 ) in feudal (封建的 ) China.
3.寿 "shou" means longevity（长寿）.
Chinese character寿 "shou" also means life, age or birthday.
4.喜 "xi" is happiness.
The doubled character喜 "xi" means double happiness.
It is usually displayed everywhere at Chinese weddings.
5.财 "cai" is wealth or money.
Chinese often say "money can make a ghost turn a millstone". It is to say money really can do a lot of things. But, still-money can’t buy everything.
6.和"he" means harmonious（和谐的）. People's harmony is an important part of Chinese culture. When you have harmonious relations with others, things will be a lot easier for you.

What is the first thing you want to do when you see someone yawn（打哈欠）？You want to yawn, too! Yawning is contagious.
Scientists have found that all people yawn. Babies start to yawn even before they are born. The earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. That’s why scientists seem to think yawning is contagious. It’s no secret that yawning is contagious, but why do we yawn Well, scientists are not really sure.
Some think we yawn because we feel bored. Recently scientists studied two groups of students between the ages of 17 and 19. One group watched music videos, and the other watched a boring color test. Scientists compared the numbers of their yawns and found that the color test group yawned more times than the video group.
Another reason for yawning has to do with breathing. Some scientists believe that when we are bored or tired, we breathe more slowly. As our breathing slows down, we cannot get rid of （去除）enough carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）, our bodies will tell the brains（大脑）to breathe deeply. The result is a big yawn. In 2007, scientists suggested a new reason. They said that the reason why people yawned was to cool down their brains. These scientists found that people who were warmer than others yawned more often.
Scientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, almost everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.

A．helpful to our health

In American history, Benjamin Franklin was very famous. He was a leader of the American Revolution against English rule. He was also a scientist, inventor and writer. And he was even well-known for his proverbs(谚语). Some of them are still used today, like this one: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. " And another one is "A penny saved is a penny earned", which means that means money should not be wasted.
Americans like to use proverbs, which have deep meanings. Here is an interesting collection of proverbs that Americans use. Some people say "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away.
Another proverb says "Love is blind. " In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.
Here is another popular saying about love: "The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. " Some people believe that a woman can win a man's love if she prepares his favorite foods.
Some people only want to love someone who is very good-looking. You might tell them that “Beauty is only skin deep. " Your girlfriend may be lovely to look at, but she may also have some bad qualities (品质). Or maybe your boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not good-looking. So what a person looks like is not really important.
In the end, we must say, "All good things must come to an end." Make another collection of proverbs if you like. Anyway, "Actions speaks louder than words. "
( )1. How many proverbs about love are mentioned in the passage ？

He seems an unlikely hero, especially one that would save two children from the mouth of a wild lion. Shen, also known as Ian, an exchange student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Canada, was then enjoying the afternoon on a beach near Ucluelet. With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar’s two grandchildren.
Silently and suddenly a lion appeared out of nowhere. By the time Shen and Hagar saw the cat, believed to be young but still weighing 30 to 35 kilograms, it had the head of 18-month-old Julien in its mouth.“At first, my brain（大脑）was nothing but blank,” Shen said. “But I still believed I could get the child back.”Instinctively（本能地）, the young man gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and try to drive the animal off with the bag in his hands.
On hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the small child and Hagar rushed to take his grandson from the lion’s mouth. But the animal didn’t run, instead turning toward 3-year-old Iris, who was standing beside Shen.
“If Ian had not been there, shouting at the lion, holding his ground, the lion would certainly have hurt Iris while I was trying to take care of Julien. I could not have fought off the lion alone without Ian’s help.” Hagar said later.With Iris in his arms, Shen and Hagar chased the animal back into the woods. Julien was flown to hospital in nearby Vancouver immediately and has since made a complete recovery（康复）.
Following the accident, the story appeared on Canadian TV networks in every big city, and in many small town newspapers across the country. The government planned to give Shen a Canada Bravery Award, but it couldn’t reach him because he had returned to China.
( )1. From the passage we can see that the lion .
A. was too old to find food B. was killed by Shen and Hagar
C. hurt both Julien and Iris D. came out without being noticed
( )2. The underlined word “gestured” probably means “ ”.
A. ran away quickly B. became confident
C. moved his hands hard D. fell to the ground
( )3. After the accident, Shen .
A. went to live with Hagar’s family B. began to be known by Canadians
C. didn’t want to take the award D. continued to study in Canada
( )4. It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that Shen is a person.
A. careful B. friendly C. lively D. brave

How many text messages do you send a day 10, 50 or over 100 Now sending text messages is part of our lives. But how does texting affect our everyday lives
According to a study, young people prefer text-messaging to talk with friends no matter where they are. They even want to do it under the noses of parents and teachers. It seems that some teenagers just can’t stop texting. This could be bad for their studies and health. For example, Ann, a 16-year-old girl from New York, lost feeling in her hands after sending over 100 texts a day from her mobile phone. She will have to have surgery (外科手术) on her wrists (手腕) in order to fix the problem.
But texting isn’t all bad. It helps to make our lives better in some ways. Today many teenagers greet each other on holidays by sending text messages instead of writing paper cards. “Texting instead of sending letters helps me save my pocket money,” said Chen Qi, 16, a boy from Sichuan. “It is also eco-friendly because it saves paper.” Texting can improve relationships between young people and their parents. In the US, many parents send their kids texts instead of shouting at them. Some say texts are more friendly than spoken messages. It’s also easier for teenagers to accept them. Sending text messages is becoming more and more popular. But when you send text messages, keep the following advice in mind:
◆ Don’t send text messages while riding a bike or walking along a busy street. It is dangerous.
◆ Don’t send the same text message over and over again. If you haven’t received a reply, send a different message.
◆ If you have something really important to say, use the phone or make plans to meet in person rather than using a text.
◆ Try to keep the text message short and make sure that your meaning is clear.
◆ Be polite. Reply to people when they send you a message. It is good to let people know that you have received their messages.
1.Is sending text messages part of our lives
2.What do young people like better, text-messaging or talking with each other
