There are many kinds of 1. transportation now. Which one do you like best, by train, by bus or by plane? Now let's look at these three kinds of transportation. 2.The fastest way to travel is by plane. If you want to save time, 3.乘火车是最好的选择. A plane ticket can also be easier to book, and there are 4.(hundred) of planes leaving half an hour to everywhere. But it is much 5.(expensive) than traveling by train or by car. Many people prefer to traveling together by train. Because the train is cheaper than the plane and you can see the beautiful scenery out of the windows. But sometimes people are very noisy on the train. And it's very small and crowded inside the train. Taking a car is great. You can feel freer in your own car and you can move quickly from place to place at any time you like. 6.But sometimes you may be late because of the heavy traffic  .You have to pay for a car park and petrol . Cars are less comfortable than trains. You can't sleep or relax when you drive. Cars pollute the air more than trains, too.

A.You should let your cat inside.

B. Going outside is bad for cats, too.

C. Keeping a cat is good for you.

D. The birds are fewer and fewer in America.

E. Cats can bring illness.

F. Cats kill many birds and small animals every year.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Many kinds of birds live in the United States，but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home，you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Of the 90 million pet cats in this country，about two­thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yard(院子)，and further weakening(变弱)the health of the natural populations.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife(野生动物). It is bad for the cats themselves, too. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They may be in danger from traffic and attacks(攻击)from other animals. In fact，outdoor cats usually don't pass the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.

    One of the Great British Bake Off winners Nadiya is telling us something about her life and her book Bake Me a Story.

Q: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

A: My kids like reading books, and they also like staying with me in the kitchen when I cook. So I think if I write a book with both stories and recipes (食谱), parents and kids can enjoy cooking together in the kitchen and then read a story when they wait for the food to cook.

Q: You baked (烘烤) the Queen' s birthday cake! {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

A: It' gave me great pleasure to bake for the Queen and to be a part of history. I would like to bake for David Attenborough too!

Q: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

A: The blueberry and orange soda bread. It's quick and easy, and it's very delicious.

Q: {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

A: Of course not! To see the looks on their faces and hear the happy noises they make when they eat the cakes makes all the hard work worth (值得) it.

Q: {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A: My most important advice is "Don't be worried about cleaning up "the kitchen. Try things out in the kitchen and have fun!"

    Alice and John are in the music club at their school. Alice plays the violin and John plays the drums. There are two groups in the school music club: the training (训练) group and the concert(音乐会) group. Everyone starts in the training group!

     "When I first started to play the violin it sounded terrible!" Alice said. "My family asked me to practice outside."

    After a year's practice, Alice and John play much better now. They are both in the concert group and they are learning more difficult music. "We're learning the music from the film Pirates of the Caribbean. It sounds fantastic!" John said. "Playing in the club with other kids is a lot of fun."

    Playing an instrument (乐器) is not only fun. It also helps children learn to concentrate (集中注意力). "I have to concentrate when I'm practicing," Alice said. "And now it's easier for me to concentrate on my schoolwork."

    Playing an instrument can also help children become more confident (自信的). As John said, "I was scared when I played in front of a lot of people for the first time. But now I really enjoy it."

You all did a good job.”

    “There are 3 awards—the Best musical Performance Award, the Most Interesting Show Award and the Beast Performer Award. It was very difficult to choose the winners. You are wonderful! You are great!”

    “The Best Musical Performance Award goes to Mary. She is very good at playing the drum. The Most Interesting Show Award goes to Mike, the Best Performer Award goes to Daniel. Congratulations to them!”
