核心知识
1. Turn on the blender. 打开食物搅拌器。
turn down（把收音机的音量、灯的亮度等）关小、调低，其反义词组为turn up。turn与on，off，up，down构成动副短语，符合＂名词两边放，代词放中间＂的原则
?今天天气真热。请打开空调好吗? It’s so hot today. Could you please turn on the air-conditioner?
?榨汁机有毛病。请不要打开。 There is something wrong with the blender. Don’t turn it on, please.
?音乐太吵了，你能把音量调低一点吗？ The music is too loud. Can you turn it down a little, please?

2. Cut up the bananas. 切碎香蕉。
cut up切碎，切开，相当于cut into pieces，cut up属于＂动词+副词＂构成的短语，接代词it/them时要放在cut up中间，接名词时放后边和中间都可以。
?切碎那个苹果。 Cut up the apple.

3. No, one more thing. 不，还有一件事。
one more thing“还有一件事”。more也可以表示“又；再”，但与基数词连用时，它与another位置不同，another在基数词前，more在基数词后。注意：“基数词+more+名词”相当于“another +基数词+名词”。

4. Do you know how to plant a tree? 你知道怎么种树吗？
how to plant a tree为＂疑问词＋动词不定式＂结构，在句中作know的宾语。不定式可以和疑问词who，what，which，when，how，where等连用，构成不定式短语，在句子中作主语、宾语、表语等。
?晚上在哪儿过夜还是个问题。(作主语) Where to stay for the night is a problem.

Many of you may wonder what else to do besides watching TV or surfing the Internet on weekends. Why not have a picnic? Junior 2 students at Beijing No 4 Middle School had a ＂King of Cooking＂ competition.
Earlier this month, about 300 students at the school went to a suburb (郊区) of Beijing to have the contest. They were divided into 24 groups. Each group had buyers, slicers (掌刀), fire makers, washers and cooks.
Fire makers faced the most problems during the time. Some of them had no idea how to keep fire burning. ＂The fire kept going out. We had to blow at the sparks (火星) and put on corn leaves and old newspapers,＂ said Wu Mofei, 13.
＂It took us an hour to make the fire. Our eyes had tears from all the smoke and our faces became dirty,＂ he added.
When the fires were finally made, the cooks became the busiest people. Huang Lanye made fried celery (芹菜) and ham, pickled cabbage and tomato soup.
She was proud of her work. ＂It’s my first time making Chinese dishes. My group members ate them up in minutes and said they were as delicious as what their parents made!＂ said the 14-year-old girl.
Finally over ten students were titled ＂King of Cooking＂. Wang Xiaoyue, 14, was one of them. ＂My group got a mark of 98 at the competition,＂ Wang said. ＂We have learned a lot while having so much fun! We are the best!＂
Beijing No 4 Middle School has been organizing the fun activities like this for six years. ＂We want to give students a chance to get real life experiences and learn how to work as a team,＂ said Jia Dong, who works for the school’s student affairs office.

Which Chinese city do you think people live a very happy life?
Well, Chengdu is at the top of the 2015 rankings（排名）for China’s Happiest Cities released by Xinhua News Agency and the China Association of Mayors. This is the second year in a row that the capital city of Sichuan is chosen.

To find the pleasures of the Chengdu lifestyle, the first thing you should try is the food. Chengdu cooking style is famous for the use of the Sichuanese peppercorn (花椒) and hot chillies (辣椒). ＂Nothing is more important to Chengdu people than food,＂ said Du Li, a professor at the Sichuan Higher Institute of Cuisine. ＂They love to find small restaurants in out-of-the-way places that have great tastes.＂ There are around 40,000 restaurants in Chengdu, the highest density（密度）of restaurants of any city in the world.
Another important part of Chengdu life is the teahouses. Found everywhere in the city, the teahouses are much more than just a place to drink tea. Teahouses are places to do business, meet with friends, show off pet birds, listen to Chuanju (Sichuan opera), and most importantly, play mahjong（麻将）. As a local saying goes, ＂If you cannot find someone, he or she is playing mahjong, or on their way to play mahjong.＂

Many of you may wonder what else to do besides watching TV or surfing the Internet on weekends. Why not have a picnic? Junior 2 students at Beijing No 4 Middle School had a ＂King of Cooking＂ competition.
Earlier this month, about 300 students at the school went to a suburb (郊区) of Beijing to have the contest. They were divided into 24 groups. Each group had buyers, slicers (掌刀), fire makers, washers and cooks.
Fire makers faced the most problems during the time. Some of them had no idea how to keep fire burning. ＂The fire kept going out. We had to blow at the sparks (火星) and put on corn leaves and old newspapers,＂ said Wu Mofei, 13.
＂It took us an hour to make the fire. Our eyes had tears from all the smoke and our faces became dirty,＂ he added.
When the fires were finally made, the cooks became the busiest people. Huang Lanye made fried celery (芹菜) and ham, pickled cabbage and tomato soup.
She was proud of her work. ＂It’s my first time making Chinese dishes. My group members ate them up in minutes and said they were as delicious as what their parents made!＂ said the 14-year-old girl.
Finally over ten students were titled ＂King of Cooking＂. Wang Xiaoyue, 14, was one of them. ＂My group got a mark of 98 at the competition,＂ Wang said. ＂We have learned a lot while having so much fun! We are the best!＂
