Going to a friend’s house is very exciting.You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives, so remember to be polite.
When to arrive:
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time.If your friend tells you to come “around 3 : 00”, that means you can turn up a little bit after 3 : 00.But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
What to bring:
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house.This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together.You can also bring some flowers.A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet:
When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents.You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names.As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul.I called his parents by their first names John and Mary.But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr.or Mrs.Smith.This will show them more respect and then they may tell you to call them by their first names.Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.
It is a cool thing to visit a friend's house.Be polite to your friend and your friend's parents, and you will be invited again!

When I was six, my dad brought home a dog one day, who was called Brownie.My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her.One of us would walk her, and another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games.Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us.One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them.We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up one of dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end.I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid.I saw tears in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet.She went everywhere with us.People would stop and ask if they could pet her.Of course she’d let anyone pet her.She was just the most lovable dog.There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair.She never barked or tried to get away.Funny thing is that she would smile.This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth.Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Television is a central part of many people’s lives.There are very few places in the world where one cannot find a television set.Some sporting events, such as the Olympic Games or the football World Cup, can attract audiences of many millions.But is television a good or bad influence on young people in the modern world
Thomas Murray, president of the British Parents Against Television Society, believes that it has not improved young people’s lives.“Television damages family life,” he argues.“At mealtime, families no longer talk to each other.In the evenings, youngsters do not spend good quality time with family members.Instead, they watch television.” Murray says that this lack of communication leads to social problems.
Murray also believes that the content of television programmes provides young people with poor role models.“There is so much violence(暴力的) on TV—guns, kung fu fighting, and so on.Young people think that all problems should be solved by aggression.”
It is not jut young people’s mental health that worries Murray.“Teenagers don’t get enough exercise because they spend so many hours watching television.They also develop back problems from sitting down for so long, and eye strain from the effort of watching.”
Murray would like to see changes to television habits.“Programmes should be educational.Their contents should be nonviolent and healthy.There should be no programmes after ten o’clock in the evening.Parents should teach their children to enjoy their spare time by playing sports or games.And certainly, the television should be switched off during mealtime.
Susan Taylor is a television producer.She believes that television is a good influence on young people.“Television brings the outside world to youngsters.It even brought us pictures from the moon! And look what happens after the Olympic Games or the World Cup matches have been shown on TV.People start to take more exercise.Also, there are a lot of programmes about healthy eating and keeping fit.”
However, Taylor agrees with Murray’s point of view concerning parents.“Of course parents have a role to play in educating their kids.They should turn the TV off during mealtime and they should talk with their children as often as possible.”

A.that TV is a central part of many people’s lives
B.that Murray would like to see changes to television habits
C.whether TV is a good or bad influence on young people in the modern world

B.Murray only worries about young people’s mental health.
C.TV programmes are nonviolent and educational.
D.Teenagers don’t like doing exercise at all.
53.What leads to social problems in Murray’s opinion

It was midnight and very dark.Soon, my uncle found the car out of his control.Shortly after he was not able to see the road clearly.he drove into a tree along the road and got seriously injured.
Luckily enough, he was rushed to the nearest hospital.When he came back to life, he found a policeman waiting for him.He had to turn in the driving license and wait to be punished by law.How regretful he was!
