Almost all the people can't tell the right direction when they get to a new place. What should you prepare 1 you go? I think you should take a 2 with you if you travel to a big city. It will give you some 3 when you get lost.
When you are travelling in a new place, you should 4 the famous buildings near the hotel where you stay, such as banks, cinemas, shops and so on. When you are lost you can ask others the 5 to get to those famous places. If you 6 find the police, ask them for help. They are 7 and they will tell you how to get somewhere clearly.
When you are lost and 8 can help you around, you can take a taxi. The taxi driver will take you to any place that you want to reach and all the drivers know the city very 9. If you are lost in the open air, don't 10. Watch the sun. Remember the sun moves from the east to the west. If it is cloudy, walk along the rivers. You'll get out of the forest or the mountain.
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 some of his classmates asking him to join their 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（似乎）to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely (孤独) that he ate a lot to make himself feel less lonely. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the children 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 had worked. Everyone was happy 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 pocket money, Cindy had a second idea. She knew that Jess's family had little money, and she hated to see him spend his pocket money on something he would never use. Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth (真相). Her close friends would be unhappy with her.
What could she do now?
No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to kill a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道) into the king's palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (长度) of its string (线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.
Japanese began to fly kites hundreds of years ago. In the 1700s, people flew kites in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also used to give good wishes to parents who had their first son. Today in Japan, people fly kites to celebrate something, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.
Kites have been used for scientific purposes(目的) in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 to 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (气象局) used box kites to collect weather information. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.
Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate their birthdays in different w. Here are four people from different countries. They will tell us h they celebrate their birthdays in their countries.
Sandy Morrison comes from Madrid(马德里). "My twenty-first birthday is on a Saturday. To w me a happy birthday, they are going to pull(拉, 扯)on my ear twenty-one times, once for each y. It is an old custom(风俗). Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional(传统).
Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be sixty tomorrow. In Japan, the s birthday is called Kanreki—it's the beginning of a new life. The colour red is for a new life, so they always give s red as a surprise（惊喜）.
Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very e and tells us, "Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday, so we're going to have a family party. My mother is going to cook noodles. Noodles are for a l life."
Phillip Evans, from Paris, smiles to us, "I'm going to be thirty next week, so I'm going to invite three very good friends out to dinner. In F, when you have birthday, you often invite people out. In some countries, I know it's the opposite—people t you out."
Your schooldays should be the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and be sure you don't waste (浪费) this great chance to learn?
Be active at school. Don't say things are difficult. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable（令人愉快的）.
Keep fit. If you don't eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and don't have enough sleep, you will feel tired in class. Play enough sports every day to keep your body strong.
Face the problem. Don't say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails(失败) some exams, loses some matches and has a bad day. Don't forget to ask for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!
Spend the weekends. Don't waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports, get together with friends to relax in the park , learn to play the piano and so on. If you don't want to go out, you can read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.
Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!
