New York is bigger and more famous, but Washington is still the capital! I like Washington because there’s so much to see and to do. I think that you can find some of the most interesting places in America here. For example, the White House is here. That’s the most famous home in America! We also have the Library of Congress, the biggest library in the world. My favorite school subjects are computer science and history. I get a lot of homework, but when I have free time, I enjoy reading thrillers and watching TV. On weekends, I spend time with my family. We often go for walks in one of the large city parks. I also play football with my friends, or we just go to the mall and hang out. When I leave school, I plan to study history. One day, I want to become president and live in the White House! 4a. Living in the Outback Nicky Logan is 13 years old, and she comes from the Australian Outback. She lives on a farm with her parents, her brothers Martin and Ben, and 50,000 sheep. The Logan’s farm is in the “outback”. A lot of Australia is “outback”—it’s very hot and dry, and not many people live there. Sometimes Nicky and her family don’t see any other people for weeks. So how do Nicky and her brothers go to school? Well, they don’t go to school — their school comes to them, by radio and the Internet. They sit at home and talk to their teachers and classmates on the radio. Their classmates live on other farms and their teachers work at the “School of the Air”, in a place called Alice Springs. When the pupils have to do homework, they send it to their teachers by fax or the Internet. “I really like living on an outback farm,” says Nicky. “There are some very cool animals like koalas and kangaroos. But not all the animals are cool. There are some dangerous snakes and spiders here. They can be scary!” The “School of the Air” is only for younger students. So next year, when Nicky is 14, she has to go to a school in Alice Springs. She is going to live at the school and visit her family during the vacations. “I’m going to miss my parents and my horse,” she says, “but I still want to go. I want to study with other kids for a change.” 9a. I had to get up at six o’clock every morning and ride my bike five miles to school. In winter, it was very cold, and in summer it was very hot, but I didn’t mind. I liked to exercise. We wore uniforms to school, not like Canadian kids today. Some of the girls liked their school uniform, but the uniform for boys looked strange. We had to wear ugly straw hats! Our school wasn’t in a very good place. It was next to a train station. Sometimes it was difficult to hear the teacher because of all the trains outside. The school was small, too, and the classrooms were very crowded. There were usually forty or fifty students in every class. There was no TV at that time, so we didn’t know a lot about the world. I remember our geography textbook had beautiful photographs from far away places like India, China, and Africa. Geography was really interesting for kids in those days! Families were poor because it was the time of the Great Depression. I wore my elder brother’s old uniform. My shoes had holes where you could see my feet. It was terrible! We were poor but we still enjoyed ourselves. I liked to play baseball and ice hockey after class. But we played ice hockey on frozen ponds. Not inside like the kids today. ［补充阅读练习］ Mind your manners! Around the world, people have different ideas about what good table manners are. In India, for example, people only eat with their right hands. You take food from one dish on the table, usually a kind of bread or rice, mix it with food from another dish and then put it in your mouth. Your left hand stays still. Eating with your left hand is very rude! In western countries, people don’t usually share the same dishes. Everyone has his or her own plate of food. You eat with a knife and fork and you shouldn’t wave them around when you aren’t eating. And you should try not to be noisy when eating. People think that’s bad table manners! When you go to restaurants in different parts of the world, it’s important to know what people think is rude. For example, in China it’s OK to be noisy in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant isn’t noisy, you may think it’s not very good. However, in many western countries, restaurants are quiet place. If a table is too noisy, other customers might not be happy. Paying for the meal is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everyone. In western countries, when friends eat together, they usually share the cost. This is called “going Dutch.” Also, when westerners pay the check, they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called “leaving a tip.” Not leaving a tip is very rude. In the U.S., it’s common to leave tips of 10%, 15%, or 20% of the check. The amount depends on how good the waiter was. Good waiters can get a lot of money! 【模拟试题】（答题时间：70分钟） 一. 对话。 Jeff: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid? Kim: Yeah. That’s me in front of my uncle’s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer. Jeff: Wow, I bet that was fun! Kim: Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I had a great shell collection. In fact, I think it’s still up in the attic! Jeff: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out! Jeff: You know what I remember most about growing up? Kim: What? Jeff: Visiting my grandparents’ house … you know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just loved that horse - and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparents’ house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me. Kim: Ah, memories! 二. 完形填空 （A）从所给出的词或词组中选出最恰当的10个，并用其适当的形式完成下文。（每个词或词组只可用一次）。 break, a, fan, and, give, report, bring, thing, make, many, opposite, unlike, or In most parts of the world, many students help their school ____1____ less pollution （污染）.

One important change is that most married women now work outside the home. What happens when both parents work? Read about the Morales family. Judy and Steve Morales have three children: Josh, 12; Ben, 9; and Emily, 6. Steve is a computer programmer. This year, Judy is working again as a hospital administrator. The family needs the money, and Judy likes her job. Everything is going well, but there are also some problems. Now that Judy is working, Steve has to help her more with the housework. He doesn’t enjoy it, however. Judy loves her work, but she feels tired and too busy. She also worries about the children. Judy has to work on Saturdays, so Steve and Judy don’t have a lot of free time together. Emily is having a great time in her after-school program. When Judy comes to pick her up, she doesn’t want to leave. Unfortunately, Ben’s school doesn’t have an after-school program. Right now, he’s spending most afternoons by himself in front of the TV. Josh is enjoying his new freedom after school. He’s playing his music louder and spending more time on the phone. He’s also doing a few household chores. （B）Reading: A Baby’s First Haircut The natives of Peru and Bolivia have a special custom for a baby. They celebrate the baby’s first haircut with a fiesta. ①At the fiesta there is lots of food, music and dancing. The parents do not cut the baby’s hair for a few years. They invite relatives and friends to the fiesta. On this special day the baby sits on a high chair like a king or queen. Then the godmother separates the baby’s hair into locks. The number of locks is the same as the number of guests at the fiesta. The godmother then ties each lock with a pretty ribbon. The godfather cuts the first lock. He also says what gift he is giving. The gifts may be an animal, a piece of land, or a lot of money. After him, each guest cuts off a lock and makes a gift of money. The money can pay for the fiesta, or the parents can save the money for the baby’s future. fiesta [fi'est ;（西班牙语）'fjesta:] （西班牙和拉丁美洲的）宗教节日 Circle T if the sentence is true.

In some countries, like England and Scotland, there is another custom, too. There people spank or hit the child on his/her birthday. This may hurt a little, but they say it is very lucky for the child. The child must never cry. The custom says that if you cry, you will cry all year. The reason for birthday spanks is to make the bad spirits go away. The harder you spank the better it is. In Belgium, another country in Europe, the custom is a little different. There a parent goes into the child’s bedroom early in the morning with a needle. As soon as the child wakes up, the parent pricks the child with the needle. This is for good luck! As you grow older, you get more spanks. You usually get one for each year plus an extra one. Complete the sentences. Circle the letter of the correct answer. 1.
