Saturday, 14th October
Yesterday Dr Hill put braces (牙箍) on my teeth. When she finished doing it, she walked me out to the front desk. She told Grandma I would have to come back in two weeks to have my braces checked. “Sounds like she put a washing machine in your mouth, doesn't it, Amy?” joked Grandma. Then Dr Hill gave me an appointment (预约) for 2:30 pm on 28th October. Oh, well, I guess getting out of school early to see Dr Hill will be one good thing about having braces.
Other things aren't so good. When I woke up this morning, my mouth really hurt. I couldn't eat any bread or meat. Finally Mum mashed (捣烂) a banana and mixed it with some milk and honey, which tasted good.
At school, my friends tried to be nice about my braces. Benny said he could hardly notice them unless (除非) I smiled. (Note to myself: Try not to smile too much.) Angel said they made me look more grown-up. And Keith thanked me for joining him. He said my braces looked nicer than his.
Of course, Charlie had mean things to say. First he called me Brace Face, and then he called me Metal Mouth. I ignored (不理睬) him, but he kept laughing and pointing. He didn't stop until Mrs Fremont gave him one of her looks. Right now, Dr Hill's not sure how long I'll have to wear the braces. But it may be at least nine months. That seems like a long, long time.

Ⅶ. 阅读表达(共10分，每小题2分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容完成后面各项任务。
Good and bad manners (举止) make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written in books. Let's see some social rules in Britain.
In the past, British women didn't go to pubs (酒吧) because it was not considered good action for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs.
Visitors to Britain often see British people wait in queues (排队等候) in public places. It is considered impolite to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. And if you don't wait your turn, the other people in the queue will probably complain (抱怨) loudly.
Queuing is a national habit in Britain and it is considered good manners to wait your turn.
In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street. However, in Britain it is common to see people having a snack while walking down the road.
British people used to be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children were not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. And if they made a noise in a restaurant, it was considered very impolite. These days children are playing a more active role and they are now accepted in many pubs and restaurants.
In recent years many British companies have banned (禁止) smoking in their offices and canteens. Smoking is also banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theatres and on most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is also considered bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission (允许).
社会规则是每个国家重要的一部分。 The British have an expression for following these “unwritten rules”: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.??

An unforgettable class
I've had quite a lot of classes in my school life. Among them the one given by an American young man is the most unforgettable.
It was on Tuesday morning. Our teacher told us an American would give us an English lesson. Then a young man came in. He greeted us in English and then began his class. It was quite different from those we had before. During the whole class he taught us several English songs, played games with us and helped us act out a dialogue. He neither taught us English grammar rules nor asked us to do lots of written exercises. He was not serious at all. He was always smiling at us. When the class was over, we took a photo with him.
It was such an interesting class. I will never forget it.
