Dear Dongdong,
I came to Hong Kong last week. I will stay here for another week. Hong Kong is really a great place to visit. There’s so much to see and do here. And I did so many wonderful things.
I took the cable car(缆车) to the Peak Galleria (山顶广场). I went to Hong Kong Racing Museum. I knew a lot about horse racing. I also visited Ladies’ Street. In the street I bought some beautiful clothes for my mother. Last night I went to a Chinese concert. Chinese traditional music is always my favorite. This morning I went to Ocean Park and watched the dolphins performance(海豚表演). Dolphins are so clever. They can jump from the water to touch a ball, dance, kiss people and even do math. Mr. Host is going to take me to an Italian film festival in Hong Kong Cultural Centre tomorrow. I’m so excited because I don’t see an Italian film before. But some people say they’re boring.
That’s all!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Haohao

A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around.Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class.You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime.You want to have new friends,but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends.But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break.Look for chances to say hi to them,smile,and be friendly.Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them.Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom.When you’re at break,walk over to kids you want to play with.act friendly,and say “Hi,can l play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends.Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends.The best way to make friends is to be a friend.Be kind,be friendly,share,say nice things,offer to help—and pretty soon,you’ll have one,or two,or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend.But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left:You can introduce her to your new friends!

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个体的); they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private(私人的)space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long ,you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you .Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?
( )41.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because______.
A. he had no place to sit B. someone had invaded his “space”
C. too many people shared a section with him
D. some other people talked about things he didn’t know about
( )42. “… you feel lonely and ‘outside’” in paragraph 4 means that_______.
A. you are alone outside the house B. you feel lonely because you travel on your own
C. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some fun
D. you feel lonely and you don’t belong to that place or that group of people
( )43.In Paragraph 4 ,the pronoun “them’ refers to(所指) “___________”.
A. public spaces B. private spaces C. local people D. other countries
( )44.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. British people dislike marking their space. B. You always feel at home in another country.
C. Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.
D. You can’t mark your private space in a foreign country.

Amanda is an American filmmaker and actress. She came to China three years ago to study Performance at Beijing Film Academy(学院). Last month, she moved to Japan to study Economics at the University of Tokyo. On June 10th ,She returned to the USA. She chatted with her parents about the cultural differences between the two countries.
“The people in both countries are very friendly to foreigners. But they have different cultures. For example, when I spoke Chinese in China, the people there always showed surprise on their faces. But when I came to Japan, I found it was opposite. Most local people there hoped I could talk with them in Japanese, though I was not good at it, ”she said.
Amanda thought this might have something to do with the fact that the Western group in Japan is older than the one in China. They have stayed in Japan for a long time. And most of them speak Japanese well. But Westerners in China are still quite a new group. They’re usually treated as guests and tourists.
