7、s in North-east China. It is one of the worlds most important wetlands. The area provides food and cover for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare birds.

There are lots of interesting
17、things to see and do. But there are serious problems in big cities too. It is expensive to live there, and there are too many people. Every year many people move to the cities to find work, study at good schools and receive high-quality medical care. But sometimes these people cant find work or good
18、 places to live. Also it is hard to keep big cities safe and clean. So, before people move to a big city, they should think about the problems they might have to deal with there. 10.

26、 that Daniel should get the award. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully Sandy 14 Hello, everyone! Ive got some great news for you today.

A good friend should be kind and helpful. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to you
31、r complaints and do his or her best to help. But friendships are not always perfect. Even best friends have fights. When you have a fight with your friend, try to talk to him or her. If he or she doesnt want to talk, dont be sad. You could write a letter instead. 5 17 We need to do something for gia
32、nt pandas. Theyre now in danger. For example, giant pandas do not have many babies during their lives, and its easy for baby pandas to get sick and die when they are very young. Also, giant pandas mainly live on a special kind of bamboo, so the bamboo forests are very important to them. However, the
33、 bamboo forests are becoming smaller and smaller. As a result, giant pandas may not have a place to live or food to eat. There are now only about 1600 pandas in the wild. We should take action to protect them right away. 18 I love reading. I spend over seven hours a week reading different types of b
34、ooks. On weekdays, I usually read for about half an hour before going to bed. I read a lot at the weekend. I am interested in history books, but I like novels best. The four great classical Chinese novels are my favourite. I get most of my books from Sunshine Library - it is just opposite my home. M
35、y friends give me lots of advice on books. We often meet together and discuss what to read. Reading is always a wonderful time. Good books are good friends. They also open up a whole new world to me. 19 I have to choose a new colour for my bedroom. It is a very important decision, because colour can
36、 change a persons mood. I like orange, because its a happy, warm colour. It can make people feel comfortable. My best friend Jack doesnt agree though. He thinks green is better. Jack says that green represents nature and that it can make you feel energetic. I remind Jack that green is also the colou
37、r of envy. My mother recommends blue. She thinks blue is a calm and peaceful colour, so it will make me less stressed and help me relax after school. Perhaps she is right. 20. All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have
38、 very different ideas about drinking tea. In China people like to have tea together with their friends. They drink tea at any time of the day. They put only tea leaves in their cups. They prefer tea with nothing in it. Tea is also popular in Japan. People have tea every day. But the way they drink i
39、t is different from that in China. In the USA people drink tea at breakfast or after meals. They usually use tea bags to make their tea.“ 6 21 Dear Sandy, I have just listened to a programme on the radio. It was about a new CD-ROM pack called Daily English. It is a new course from Australia. The pac
40、k includes a book and five CD-ROMs. It is very good for tourists and students. Im sure we can learn a lot from it. We can learn about how to use the telephone and how to ask and answer questions. We can also learn to talk about the weather and the time. The course covers many topics, such as travel
41、and hotels, food and drink, and shopping and money. I am going to order a pack online. Do you want me to order one for you too? Regard Millie“ 22. Yesterday we visited the Summer Palace and spent about three hours in it. The palace is a large Chinese garden set in a natural landscape and mainly incl
42、udes a hill and a lake. The lake is very big - it takes up three quarters of the area. It was frozen, so we could not row a boat there. It was really a pity. Across the lake is a 17-hole bridge. There are over 50 stone lions on both sides of it. The lions are all different from each other. Isnt it a
43、mazing? The Summer Palace was once a nice place for the emperors to spend the summer and it was well worth a visit. 23 My neighbours are kind and helpful. Some of them are volunteers. They have different skills and often help us with all kinds of problems. Usually there is a helping hands meeting at
44、 the weekend. People go there when they need help with their problems. Computer engineers are popular. They help people check their computers. You can also find someone to fix things like broken bicycles. Students can get help with their homework. There are some college students among the volunteers
45、, and they are always ready to help. We are lucky to live in a neighbourhood like that. People here are like a big family. 24 Kites have a long history in China. The Chinese began to make kites over 2,000 years ago. The first kite in history was made out of wood by Mozi. His student Lu Ban used bamb
46、oo to make kites. In the Eastern Han dynasty, Cai Lun found a new way to make paper, and then people began to use paper to make kites. In the 13th century, an Italian man called Marc Polo visited China. He told people in the West all about kites. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, kite flying became a
47、very popular outdoor activity. People liked to fly kites on sunny, windy days in spring. 25 My ideal school starts at 8 a.m. and finishes at 3 p.m. I love sports and computers, so we have PE and computer lessons every day. The classes are quite small. There are about 20 students in each class. There
48、 is a big dining hall, There we can eat and chat with our friends. There is a park on one side of our school and a shopping mall on the other. We have a big library. We also have a tennis court and a swimming pool. There are lots of clubs and after-school activities. Every month, we go on a school t
49、rip to a museum or a theatre. 7 26 Yao Ming was born in Shanghai in 1980.

Yao joined the Houston Rockets in 2002 and became the best Chinese player to have ever played in the NBA. When Yao Ming lived in the USA, he returned to China whenever he was needed. He took part in the Olympics in 2004 and in 2008 as one of the Chinese athletes. Since he ended his basketball career, Yao has done a lot o
