When people travel abroad(国外), they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is a homestay.

    I am living with an old English couple, in the west of London. They have a clean four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.

   There are some shopping centres and a restaurant near the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about 30 minutes to take an underground to the centre of London.

    I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people are friendly and helpful. If you want to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about their culture and customs.

①Welcome to our talk show, Mr Brown. You are an actor and busy every day. But you try to find much time to exercise. Could you tell us what you usually do in your free time? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

②I know you like skateboarding, little John. When did you start it? How often do you go skateboarding? {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

③I know you don't need to go to work on weekends, sir. How do you usually spend your weekends? {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

④Fruit, vegetables and milk are good for us. They are healthy. Do you often have them, Miss Yang? {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

⑤As a waiter, you work at night and sleep in the day. How many hours do you sleep every day, Mr. Green? Do you think it's the same as a day job? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A. I'm busy and tired on weekdays. So I want to relax myself at home on weekends. I like surfing the Internet and do it for five or six hours every Saturday and Sunday.

B. I cook at home from Monday to Friday. On weekends, I usually go out to have dinner with my husband and son. Maybe I must find a job next month.

C. Skateboarding is fun. I started to learn to skateboard when I was five years old. Now I go skateboarding four or five times a week.

D. They are really good for us. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables every day. But I hardly drink milk. I think only kids can drink lots of milk.

E. I'm really busy. I have lots of movies and TV plays to make. But I want to keep in good health. So I do some running in my free time.

F. Most of us work and have meals in the day and sleep at night. A night job is different from a day job. I usually sleep for six or seven hours in the day. But I can't have meals like people who work in the day.

    This is a map of Lingling's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . On the right of the gate is the office building and behind this is the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} building. There are 24 classrooms in it. Behind the classroom building is the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. There are many books in it and Lingling often goes there to read books. There is a big playground in the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  of the school. Where is the science building? It is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the dining hall and the sports hall. It's a nice school. Lingling likes it very much.

    Good morning, boys and girls! {#blank#}1{#/blank#} A baseball, a schoolbag and a school ID card are in it. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, but you can't see the last name. It is blue. And the schoolbag is black. Some English books, a pencil box, a watch and a tape player are in it. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The watch is red and the tape player is black. What about the school ID card? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and the card number is B-765. There is not the telephone number on it. I don't know how to contact (联系) you. Are these things yours? If they are, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}You can also call me at 779-8846, too.

    Most teens need more than 9 hours of sleep each night. But about 1 in 4 teens has trouble in sleeping. Lack of sleep can affect everything from our feelings to how well we focus on tasks like studying. It can also influence sports performance, increase our chances of getting sick, and may lead to weight gain in some people.

    How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:

    Be active during the day. Get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don't work too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up before it slows you down.

    Say goodnight to electronics. Experts suggest using the bedroom for sleep only. At least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out.

    Keep a sleep routine. Going to bed at the same time every night helps the body expect sleep. Creating a bedtime routine can improve this relaxation effect. Reading, listening to music, spending time with a pet, writing a diary or doing anything else can relax you.

    Expect a good night's sleep. Instead of worrying that you won't sleep, remind yourself that you can. Say "Tonight, I will sleep well." several times during the day. It can also help to practise breathing exercises or gentle exercises before bed.

    Everyone has a sleepless night once in a while. But if you regularly have trouble in sleeping and you think it's affecting your mood or performance, talk to your doctor.
