&&& &I won't decide

When I was looking at the bill，Henry said，&it’s been a fine day，hasn’t it? Quite
&&& &Yes,”I said. &I’m
glad it is only the 10th of June.”
&&& &Me too，”， said Henry. &You wait一it'll be a bit
hotter by the end of the month.”
&&& &Yes. Hotter一and more expensive.
Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th，won't
they，Henry?”
&&& Henry looked hard at
me for half a minute. There was a little smile in his two blue eyes. I gave his
bill back to him.

&&& From the time we
were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and
fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and
when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.
&&& Sometimes good
manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere
eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts
of Polynesia（波利尼西亚）it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely
turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.
&&& Some East Africans
spit four times as a kind of blessing（祝福）．They do it to show that they want a sick
person to get well，or to bless a new-born baby. In most
other places，spitting means something completely
different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries，it may mean that you hate someone.
&&& When we go to visit
someone we say“Hello！”Or“How are
you?& or things like that.But if you are visiting an East African village，everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The
polite thing there will be for you to go quietly，without
speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has
finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.
&&& In a village in Arab，a visitor will walk
behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes
in front，he will be invited into each tent and asked to
eat. It is rude to refuse.

know &&&&&&&&&&．

a knife and fork to eat&&

talk with our mouths full&&

introduce people

hate someone&&&&&& D. you show your love to your
relatives or friends

&&& D. must wait until
your friend has finished his work and then begin to talk to him
&&& I was sleeping
soundly last night when I was awakened by someone's groans（呻吟）.I listened，and heard it was from Sam，a student from
Africa. I really wanted to go on sleeping, as I had insomnia（失眠）and had just fallen asleep, but I couldn't because Sam groaned
louder and louder，showing he was seriously ill.
&&& At that time，Robbie，a student from China，also got up to help. We
found some pills，got some water，and helped him sit up to take them, hoping this would make his pain
go down a little and get over the difficult time. If only daytime would come
soon, everything would become easier.
&&& Things went contrary相反）to our wishes.
Sam's condition developed from bad to worse. We telephoned the emergency
service，and in no time an ambulance stopped in front of
our gate. We helped the medical（医疗）workers carry Sam to
the vehicle，and then both Robbie and I got in and took
Sam to the hospital.
&&& We helped him go
through many medical examinations. After all kinds of tests，we were told that the
final diagnosis（诊断）was appendicitis（盲肠炎）．Luckily，Sam didn't need an operation because
we brought him to the hospital in time. He got timely treatment.

better，we
rushed back to prepare ourselves for the class. We were a little tired，but we had certainly done something good，something

Do you know why different
animals or insects（昆虫）have their special colors? Colors are used mainly to protect
themselves.
Why can’t some birds easily
catch locusts（蝗虫）? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change
of the colors of crops（庄稼）. When crops are green,
locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color
as crops have. Some other insects with autumn comes, locusts change to the same
brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants
are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives
in the day and appear only at night.
If you study the animal
life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears,
lions and other animals can’t be easily seen by hunters（猎人）. This is because
they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even more
strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid（液体）when it faces
danger. While the liquid spreads over（散开）, its enemies（敌人）can’t find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now
though it is not strong at all.

There is another way to help
your friends or other people to find you. Give them a signal（信号）by shouting or
whistling（吹口哨）three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle
three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.
Keep on shouting or
whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will give
two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a
call for help. If you don't think that you will get help before night comes,
try to make a small room with branches （树枝）.
What should you do if you
get hungry or need to drink water? You would have to leave your little branch
room to look for something to eat and drink. Don't just walk away. Drop small
branches as you walk so that you can find your way back.

&“How are you?” is a nice
question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But
“How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often
doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer
“Fine” ,even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are
you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are
simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes ,people also don’t say
exactly what they mean. For example, when someone Asks “Do you agree? ”,the
other person might think ,“No, I disagree. I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t
very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not
sure .”It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they
are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many
talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.”Often,the
person who wants to hang up gives and excuse :“Someone’s at the door.” “Something
is burning on the stove. ”The excuses might be real,or not. Perhaps the person
who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more,but it isn’t polite
to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting
each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people don’t say
exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be
nice to each other,and it’s part of the game of language.

What will the future be like?It’s possible
that we may often fly up into space! Out of all the coolest inventions of the
year,Time chose Spaceship One as the best.
Spaceship One is a 6-meter-long white
spaceship. On June 21,American pilot Mike Melvill flew it to space and
back-about 100 kilometers up into the sky.（1）Some might say it’s
not a big deal.You know,people went to the moon years ago.
Well, Spaceship One is special because（2）it is the first spaceship that wasn’t made by the government.It was
built and launched（发射）by a private US company.Lots of
people want to travel in space.But it’s too expensive.American milliomaire
Dennis Tito paid almost US $ 20 million to become the first space tourist to
visit the International Station in 2001. So private companies began to think of
making their own spaceship to take other tourists up into space.
（3）飞船一号的成功是一个好的开端。In
the next 10 to 15 years,if you pay $20,000 to $100,000,you could fly high above
the earth.

Jess really felt very happy.
When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an
invitation（请柬）on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to
join them on a camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an
out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like
him. In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a
result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the kids something more to
make fun of him.
Cindy, who was standing near
Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the
trick（恶作剧）had worked. Everyone was pleased that Jess thought that was true.
But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.
At first, Cindy thought it
was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag
with his savings（积蓄）, Cindy had a second idea. She knew that Jess’s family had little
money, and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never
use. Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth. Her close friends would be angry

Partying is fun. But have
you ever been invited to a party by a foreigner ? What should you wear ? Should
you bring anything ? If so, what ? Don’t worry. Today we are going to give you
some tips（小提示）about partying with foreigners.
First, you should ask if it’s a formal
or casual（非正式的）party. Then you will know what to wear. It’s as simple as that. At a
casual party , it is customary to bring a bottle of wine or some other
refreshments（点心）. It is not considered polite someone
along with you unless you first ask your host. At more formal parties like
birthdays, a small gift will be sufficient（ 足够）. Giving
money would cause some embarrassment. Finally, never overstay your welcome.
When it’s getting late, it’s time to thank your host for a wonderful evening
and say good night .

& The film is very exciting and
dramatic（戏剧性的）,but it is also romantic and very sad. It is about the ship, the
Titatic,which sank in Atlanic in 1912. It is a love story. The two famous
stars are Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslette. They fall in love aboard the
ship, but are not allowed to be together as she is rich and he is poor.
Leonardo is excellent as poor, handsome Jack and Kate Winslette is perfect as
rich and beautiful Rose. The best thing about the film is the part where the
ship is sinking. This love story doesn’t have a happy ending.

as a forgetful scientist. He is very forgetful and he even forgets his own
wedding ! Flubber is the name of the amazing green stuff that he invites. The
plot（情节）is about two bad men who try to steal both
Flubber and the scientise’s girlfriend. The scientist has lots of
sillyadventtires（历险） with Flubber,and he is really
