Her husband said，\"I want to finish some work today.\"\"oh, forget it．Go there and make our children happy．That\'s the most important work\" Mrs.White said.

So Mr.and Mrs.White took their children to the funfair．Mr.White was forty-five years old.But he enjoyed the funfair more than his children.He hurried from one thing to another，and ate lots of sweets.One of the children said to her mother，\"Dad is just like a small child，isn\'t he, Mom?\" Mrs.White didn\'t want to follow her husband around any more at that time and answered，\"He is even worse than a small child，Mary，because he might spend more money than a small child.\" 1.There were five children in the White family.A) T √

Paage Two People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it.People\'s understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progre in scientific research.Recently the term \"health\" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to.It no longer means just the absence of illne.Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people.This new concept of health is closely related to another term－quality of life.Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.

Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person\'s life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect.Medical advances have made it poible for people today to live longer, healthier lives.Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900.You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47.In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.6.Progre in scientific research leads to people\'s deeper understanding of health.A) T √

Paage Three We often use gestures to expre our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language.So does laughter or crying.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world.In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese, whereas in English it means surprise.In Chinese, surprise can be described in phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” “Stretching out our tongue” in English is an insulting gesture or exprees strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and expre feelings.Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happine on people’s faces.Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.11.Which of the following is true according to the paage?

Paage Four There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or le, or two weeks, or poibly, months.It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals.Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years.Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed.As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future.They might cover five years or more.Life is not a static thing.We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.

Part VI Sample Writing East or West, Home is Best 金窝，银窝，不如自己的狗窝 What’s the best place in your heart? If I ask you where the best place is in your heart, perhaps you may say it’s Zhongnanhai, the White House or the Kremlin Palace.But I’ll tell you that it’s home rather than any one of them.Because a proverb says well that “East or west, home is best.”

That’s why? Because home is the port of our soul and the only one place that we are looking forward to going for the whole life.Because I think home means all to me and anybody else.It’s home where we can go whenever we are hurt or tired.It is also home where we can enjoy the feelings of parents, brothers and sisters.It’s home that that fights against wind or rain whether in the day time or at night.

In a word, whatever we do and wherever we go, home is the best place that we can go forever.
