Hello, my name is Annie. I like giraffes. They are tall and friendly. They don't hurt (伤害) people. So we don't need to be afraid of them. Giraffes can live to be about thirty years old.         

    My name is Tina. I'm a Chinese girl. Pandas are my favorite animals. They have black eyes and fat bodies (身体). They are quiet and funny. There are only about l, 600 pandas in the wild (野外). They are in danger and they need our help.       

    My name is Sophia. I don't like big animals. I like cats. I have a pet cat. Her name is Cici. She is lazy and sleeps all day. Sometimes, she likes and playing with balls. We are good friends.         

    Hi, I'm Peter. I live near the sea. Dolphins (海豚) are my favorite animals. They are smart and interesting. They like to live together. The baby dolphin usually lives for a long time with its family. I often watch dolphin shows with my parents on weekends.         

    We live in a world filled with many different kinds of people. We want to get along well with others. We also want to be liked by others. The following ways will make others like you.

    Do this and you will be welcome anywhere

    Become really interested in other people. A show of interest must be true. It must bring good results not only to the person showing the interest, but also to the person receiving the attention. It is a two-way street-both of you get an advantage.

    An easy way to make a good first impression(印象)

Smile as often as possible. Your smile is a sign of kindness. When someone feels stressed(有压力的)from his or her teachers or parents, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds. Your smile can help him or her realize(意识到)that all is hopeful—there is still joy in the world.

    If you don't do this, you are getting into trouble.

    Remember a person's name. A person's name is the sweetest and the most important sound in any language. We should realize the magic in a name. The name makes the person different from others; it makes him or her special among all others. If you remember a person's name, the relationship(关系)between both of you will become much closer.

An easy way to become a good talker

    Be a careful listener first. Ask questions that other persons will like to answer. Encourage (鼓励)them to talk about themselves and their achievements. What you need to do is just listen, because people are much more interested in themselves.

    A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt hopeless at the time. He ended his letter with this question "We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we?" I replied to him and started my own letter with these words, "Yes, we most certainly can!"

    I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was a music teacher at my primary school. She was good at playing the guitar. I wanted to impress her. However, I didn't know how to play any instrument.

    One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best, but could only stumble along(断断续续). When I had done, I put my head down. "I guess I am not very good, "I told her. She looked at me with her kind eyes, smiled at me and said, "We are all good at something. You just need to find out what you are good at. Then, you can share it with the world."

    Those simple words changed me. They planted a seed(种子)in my soul that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside me. I just had to find it and share it.

    Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it through one choice. one person, or one kind act at a time. All you have to do is to share your goodness. Mother Teresa once said, "God doesn't ask us to do great things, only small things with great love." So make your love great!

    Wen Xinrui, a student from Shanghai, together with her family, is seeing the great changes of China in recent years.

    Wen's grandparents have been enjoying free health checks for people aged above 65 since 2013. It was hard to imagine in the past. The river near Wen's house used to be dirty and give out a terrible smell. But last year, (C) it was cleaned up and trees were planted on both sides. Now there are even fish swimming in it.

    From 2013 to 2016, 55.64 million people in(A)_____ have been lifted out of poverty(贫困). This means their personal income(收入)has increased to more than 3, 000 yuan a month. China aims to(力求达到)make all the people get out of poverty by 2020.

    Also, China now has more than 22, 000 kilometers of high—speed lines. That's about 60 percent of the world's total high—speed railways.

    Such progress can't have been made without the leadership of the Communist Party of China. (D)As the ruling party in China, the Party has more than 89 million members.

    They are from all walks of life(各行各业). They have a big influence on both the government and people's lives.

    According(B)_____ President Xi Jinping, our socialism(社会主义)with Chinese characteristics(特色)has entered a new era(时代). The Party must always put people first and continue working hard to help people live better and happier lives.

    Everyone knows that exercise is important. We need to exercise. Doctors say it is good for us. It keeps us healthy.

    When the daytime comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. Exercise means doing things with the body.（1）There are many ways to exercise. You can walk, run, swim, skate, or play ballgames. Make sure you exercise in the following ways: you have to like what you're doing. Exercise enough-but not too much. It is good to exercise twice each week. Thirty minutes each time is enough. Try all kinds of things until you find one sport that you feel right for you.

    Exercise can be fun. Friends can exercise at fitness center, or they can play sports. How do you exercise？（2）你多长时间锻炼一次？
