Sometimes we meet people who change us. They bring magic(魔法) into our lives. Bridge to Terabithia (《通往特雷比西亚的桥》), the latest movie from Walt Disney, tells us such a story.

    Jess Aarons is a different kind of kid. He doesn't have too many friends in school. He is distant (疏远的) from his family as well. Jess wants to be the fastest runner in his school. He spends all of his time training for a race.

    But something strange happens. He's beaten, not by a boy but by a girl! As you might think, his pride is hurt.

    You wouldn't think Jess, and the girl, Leslie, would become friends. But the two kids open up to each other. Leslie shares her love of magic with Jess. Jess loves drawing. But before meeting Leslie he's never told anyone about it.

    Together they discover a secret world. They get to it by using a rope to swing across a river. There they fight against their enemies, from the Dark Master to school bullies (欺负弱小者).

    Can the kids beat their enemies? See the film and find it out for yourself.

Has your mother or grandmother ever made embroidered (刺绣的)clothes for you? In the past, Chinese people often embroidered on hats, shoes and dresses. Some girls would even embroider on a sachet (香囊)as a gift for their lovers.

Shu embroidery comes from Sichuan. It is said that Shu embroidery is the old lest kind of embroidery in China. People began to make it during the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD).They sold it to other countries such as ancient Rome.

Shu embroidery takes time. It might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm. Embroidery workers need to divide each silk thread (丝线) into more than 10 or over 30 smaller threads. Each smaller thread is thinner than a human hair.

Meng Dezhi, who used to work at the Chengdu Shu Embroidery Factory，has been making Shu embroidery for over 40 years. She loves this form of art and wants more people to try it, so she gives lessons in universities. She said. "Although the work is hard, Shu embroidery stands for thousands of years of Sichuan culture. It is a symbol of Chinese culture as well."

Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question.1 do some people change(改变) their names? Hanna changes her name to Anne because(因为)2 thinks it will be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is also thinking about changing his3 because he wants to be cool. 

People have4 reasons(原因) for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen 5 change their names. They hope that their names are6 or have special(特殊的) sounds. They also choose the "new name" for7 luck.

Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved(搬迁) to a new country(国家) and want8 a name that is usual there. For example, Rasheed Shyyab9 Turkey(土耳其) changed his name to Ran Shide when he moved to China. He used Ran at his job and at school. For some people, using different names 10 life easier in their new countries.

I'm Li Fang. I'm a Chinese girl. I like English best because it's very interesting and useful (有用的). I like speaking English with my classmates. I join the school English club. I go to the club on Saturdays. Our English teacher is Miss Gao. She loves us very much. But she is very strict with us. And we love her too. She often tells us some funny English stories. She likes sports very much. After class, she often plays volleyball with us. She also plays the piano very well. She often plays the piano and we sing and dance. Miss Gao is really good with us. 

My favourite sports are volleyball and swimming. I usually go swimming on Sundays with my friend, Han Mei. My favourite animal is a dog. I often play with it after school. It's my friend too. 

In ancient(古代的) China, people(人) have three names: the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} name, given name, and courtesy name(字).

 Look at Li Bai, his family name is Li, his given name is Bai and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} courtesy name is Taibai. Some people call him Li Bai, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} some people call him Li Taibai.

 When do people use their given {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and courtesy names? When(当……的时候) people are at home, they usually use their given names. But when they are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} at home, people use their courtesy names.

No one lives without food. For centuries, people grew their own food and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(吃) it themselves. But now most people buy food in shops and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(超市). The next time you have dinner, look close at the food on your plate. If you're dining in summer, it's possible that some of the food comes from small {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(私人的)farms, but more of it comes from large farms and companies.

How do you know where your food s from? You an check by {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(你自己). Most food gives information on its packet. And you may be surprised at what you {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(收集) because it comes from places around the world. You can enjoy a(n) {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(橙子)from Sooth Africa and a tomato from Mexico. You can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(甚至) enjoy a pizza from Italy. And you needn't travel to these places. Instead, the food travels to you. Thanks to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(现的) trucks, trains, ships and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(飞机), the food travels fast. So the food is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (新鲜的) and heartly when it reaches your dinner table. Also, now technology helps the food last long while it travels.
