Shao Wang is a student in France. He comes from China. “ I’d never tasted cheese or even milk before I came here. Cattle are rare in my part of China, so there are no dairy products.

Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. “I was in a restaurant that specialized in fish, and I heard some other customers order flake. So I order some too and it was delicious. Later, I found out that flake is an Australian term of shark. After that pleasant experience, whenever I see a new food I try it out on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”
Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She comes from India. “I’m frightened of eating new foods because they might be made from beef. I’m a Hindus, so that’s the reason I can’t eat hamburgers or spaghetti(意大利式面条) with meatballs.”
Nathan is American. He taught for a year in China. “My friends gave me 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like the look of them at all. The insides were green, but my friends said the color was normal. The Chinese put chemicals on fresh eggs. Then they bury them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old.

The earthworm is a useful animal. It makes the soil richer for fields and gardens. Taken out of the ground, it is good for many other animals.
Earthworms dig tunnels to make the soil loose and in this kind of soil air and water can reach the roots of plants easily. They drag not only dead leaves but also grass, flowers and other such things into their holes. This plant material soon rots and disappears. This helps to make the soil fertile (肥沃的). No other animal is so useful in building up good top soil. One earthworm may add about three quarters of a pound of earth to the top soil in one year. Fifty thousand worms carry about eight tons of fine soil to the surface in the same time.

VI. writing :
1.
Dear editor,
I think it is right for us to watch TV after school.
On TV there are many interesting programmes, such TV plays, films and sports. By watching them, we can enrich our knowledge and enlarge our views, which we can’t learn in class. My English is not very good. I think watching TV is a good way to improve my English, especially spoken English.
Besides, why shouldn’t we relax ourselves and have a good rest at home since we have so much work to do at school? Do you agree with me?
A reader
Possible version2:
I don’t think it is right for us to watch TV after school.
In my opinion, watching TV is just a waste of time. We are students so we have a lot of homework to do. If we spend much time on TV, how can we finish our homework? Besides, we’ll get short-sighted if we spend too much time on TV every day. What’s more, I don’t think all the TV programmes are instructive. If we often watch them, we’ll form some bad habits. That’s very dangerous to us!
Do you agree with me?
A reader
