Schools in the UK are quite different from those in China. In the UK, at the beginning of the term, students must select their courses and teachers first.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} So in the first term, don't select too many courses, or you'll feel nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Different teachers have different teaching methods.

    If the teacher is called "killer" by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, give too many exams and too low grades.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in the UK are very expensive. Each copy is about $30 -50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    In class, discussing is very important. The teachers always encourage you to ask questions or show your own opinions freely. They don't usually ask you to sit well. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} They usually don't give you much homework to do. So in the schools in the UK you can learn knowledge and do exercises by yourself. You must do almost all things independently.

A. And some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.

B. At the same time, you must select the teachers.

C. Selecting is very important for your grades in the UK.

D. Instead, they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.

E. There is another thing after you select the courses and the teachers.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy (富有) and wise (聪明). This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.

Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours' sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can't have enough sleep. Then you can't think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!

Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak.

Exercise keeps it strong. Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains (大脑) in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!

Our bodies also need air to breathe (呼吸). Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

There are lots of great people at home and abroad. Madame Curie was one of them. 

When you hear the word "shower", what {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to your mind? Maybe it is "a lot of falling water" in the bathroom. But "shower" can also {#blank#}2{#/blank#}"a lot of falling presents" on a special day. On a special day, we might shower someone with gifts. 

My family is going to have two showers this week. On Tuesday, we are going to have a baby shower. My brother's wife is going to have a baby soon. So my family and friends will come with a lot of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} for the baby. 

Then on Thursday, we will have a bridal (新娘的) shower for my sister. She is getting married {#blank#}4{#/blank#} week. She will be a beautiful bride. All her female friends and relatives are coming to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} before she marries. They will give her a lot of presents for her married life. 

There are several different kinds of sea turtles in the world. The sea turtles are endangered. Several are in danger of being gone {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( complete).

Sea turtles lay large groups of eggs under the sand on beaches. The eggs face many challenges, both natural and man- made. In Costa Rica, one big challenge is poachers(偷猎者)— they take the eggs in order to sell {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ( they).

Kim Williams Guillen is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} scientist. She works for the University of Michigan and Paso Pacifico. She works {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( protect) animals in Costa Rica. AfterKim{#blank#}5{#/blank#}( watch) some TV shows, she suddenly had an idea. What if poachers could be followed by using a fake(假的) t urtle egg {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a GPS tracker(跟踪器) inside?

Dr. Williams Guillen showed that idea and it won a $10,000 prize. She then worked with other scientists to create the fake egg. It was made of a special material, just like a ping- pong ball.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} it was cheap and easy to make fake eggs, they made a lot of them.

The scientists put some fake eggs into 101 {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( difference) t urtle nests in Costa Rica. According to the results, most eggs {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( sell) to local people. That wasn't a big surprise, since in Costa Rica, turtle eggs are considered a special kind of food.

The scientists are excited about the results of the fake eggs. The test shows that such simple ways can work well. The scientists believe that similar ideas could be helpful in other{#blank#}10{#/blank#}( place) as well.
