Everyone knows people need water. But do you know just how1water is to living things?

    Maybe you feel lucky2your life isn't hard. But it doesn't mean that you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water3.

    One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes4our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad5, people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish,6. Now, 34 percent of all kinds of fish are dying out.

    How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it7, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain, is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.

    8people have made wells to get clean water. But there still isn't enough. Scientists9that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough clean water.

    When we don't take care of our water, we are hurting everyone. It's time to start learning how to save more water for10and our children.

Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. It is reported that British people spend more eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming more and more interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is.

However, eating out can also be expensive, so British people do not eat out every night. When having a date with friends, or having a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.

As in all cultures, there are many rules of manners about eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full then you are eating.
   Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive—French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and many, many more.

When people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a "takeaway". This means that they order from a take－out restaurant by telephone, and then go to get it. Many take-out restaurants also send it to your house. All you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!

Every living thing needs to reproduce（繁殖）. Reproducing means creating more members of your group. In order for plants to reproduce, they have to spread their seeds（种子）to other areas. Plants have developed all kinds of ways to do this.

The simplest way is gravity（重力）. Many seeds are inside of fruit. When fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away. Apples spread this way.

Other plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions（蒲公英）are a good example of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries dandelion seeds to new places. Maple（枫树）seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its "wings" help it fly farther from the tree.

Some animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seed is in the animal's body, it stays whole. When the seed leaves the animal, it's in a new place.

Ants also help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that appeals to ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seed. They leave the rest of the seed underground. After that, the seed can start growing.

Every one of us, rich or poor, should at {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(至少,不少于) have one or two good friends. Your friends will listen to you when you speak, will {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(真正地,确实地) care about you when you' re sick, and will be together with you in your journey through life.

Everyone needs friends. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(没有) friends, life will be boring. How can we find a good friend and get on well with each other? Here is some {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(建议).

◆Make friends with {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (某人) who is easy to get along with.

◆You should make friends with a person who has something in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(有相同特征) with you.

◆Friends should be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(能够) to help each other. Give your friend a hand when he or she is in trouble.

◆You need to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(相信) in each other. This is the most important thing in a friendship.

◆Friends may have a quarrel sometimes. If this {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (发生,出现), don't let your quarrel last too long. Try to make up with your friends as soon as {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (可能的).

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our life. It's like a bottle of wine: the longer it is kept, the better it will be.

War Horse (《战马》) is an action movie. It's a very interesting and moving story. The movie comes from a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(child) book. A {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (write), Michael Morpurgo, wrote the story. Later, Steven Spielberg decided {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (turn) the story into a movie. Steven Spielberg is a famous director (导演) and he is the director of E. T. and Jurassic Park. The two movies were very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (success). People all over the world would like {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(watch) them. 

It is a story about a horse called Joey. It happened in 1914, during World War I. There was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} farm boy called Albert. His father bought a new horse {#blank#}7{#/blank#} him and the name of the horse is Joey. Albert trained the horse and they became good friends. Joey brought much joy (快乐){#blank#}8{#/blank#} Albert. One day, Joey was sold to the British army (军队) and sent to help fight on battlefields (战场). 

Joey met some trouble and he missed Albert very much. Albert missed Joey too. He joined the army {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he wanted to find Joey. Could they meet? Could they find the way home? If you want {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(know) the answers, go to the cinema and watch it. I believe you will like it.
