Unlike the other parts of the body,your ears don't ask for much. They don't need to be brushed once a day like your teeth. But they really need some special care,especially if you like listening to music with earphones(耳机).Maybe your mum or dad has told you," Turn that down before you go deaf(耳聋)!" Well,they are quite right. Loud noise may cause hearing problems for a short time or even forever.

American doctors have studied a group of 5000 people who used earphones more than 15 hours every week. The doctors found that 4000 of them were getting hearing problems. If you use earphones too long, your ears may feel painful.You may also lose your hearing for the rest of your life. So don't wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day.

Often the importance of having dinner with the whole family at the dinner table is strengthened. We are told that “a family that eats together stays together”; we even follow it by making the whole family sit in front of the television while eating. Is it right? Wrong. Television does nothing to help make family relationships better. In fact, it only widens the gap between the members of the family, especially parents and children. It’s thus better to sit at the dinner table. Family dinners should include another important part--conversations that create a pleasant atmosphere. However, it’s often difficult to start a conversation at a family dinner. Moreover, many people make the mistake of raising controversial (有争议的) topics at dinnertime, causing one or more members, or the whole family, to lose their appetite (胃口). So it is important to keep in mind some family dinner conversation ideas.

It often serves well to start the conversation right before dinner so that setting the table and other housework may become less boring. Doing things together, whether it is talking or laying the table, can make family members feel interested so that there are no embarrassing moments when people are actually eating. You can also change the topic if you feel that it might start arguments and destroy everyone’s appetite.

Children are usually very good at sharing information and don’t know exactly how to reply when you ask them questions like “How was school today?” So make sure you know more about them than just the fact that they go to school---like which book they are reading or movie they watched recently, or ask them about the extracurricular activities that they might be taking part in.

Family dinners should be positive and conversations during dinnertime should encourage family members to eat well. All controversial topics should be avoided at dinnertime . In fact, if you have any funny stories that happened in your daily life, that’s the time when you can share with others. It is also a good idea to look back on your childhood memories with your family members. They, especially your children, will feel excited about the crazy, sometimes stupid things that you did as children. In short, there is much need to choose the right topics for family dinner conversations.

Peter went into a restaurant because he was very hungry. The weather was cold and so he asked the waiter   (1)   _ (bring) him a bowl of hot soup. “What kind of soup, sir?” asked the waiter. “Chicken,” said Peter. “I feel like   (1)   (drink) some thick chicken soup.” “No problem, sir.”

Can you show me how   (9)  (eat) the hot soup without it?”

Long long ago, there was a girl called Dorothy. She l  (1)  in Kansas with her uncle and aunt. One day, she went to a s  (2)   place because of cyclone（龙卷风）.By accident, she killed the Wicked Witch of the East. She felt sorry and a  (3)  . She wanted to go back home. However, n  (4)   could help her except (除了) the Great Oz --- the ruler of a wonderful city.

Dorothy started the amazing travel. O  (5)   her way, she met a scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and a l  (6)  . The scarecrow didn’t have a brain, he wanted to own one. The Tin Woodman hoped to have a heart to love. The big lion looked strong, but he was cowardly (胆小的). He would like to get the courage from Oz. After hearing about Oz’s special abilities, they all d  (7)  to meet Oz together. During their wonderful but dangerous trip, the friendship was built. They learned to help and p  (8)   each other. To their surprise, Oz was j  (9)   a short old man. At last, they made their dreams come true.

The trip is more like a way of growing .The way is full of all kinds of problems. Like the girl in the s  (10)   , We should face them bravely. Let’s start our trip with love and courage.

We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she always gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, “Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’s what you do as you are sitting.” In fact, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.

If your math teacher gives you five problems, you should do six. If your Chinese teacher gives eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.

Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. However, others like studying as soon asthey arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way suits you, try to do your best.

Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment. When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks given up. Studying is the only thing in your mind. You should pay attention to what you are studying.

Studying is like eating. You should eat a little at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you planned to do, you will feel stressed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you manage your time.

The students who hand in a clearly written paper are already half way to get an A. Tidy papers are likely to get higher marks than messy ones. When you write clearly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You can avoid making more mistakes.
