With the holidays coming up, lots of people will be having parties. Want to make sure you’re a perfect host（主人）or guest(客人)? Now it’s a good time to brush up on your party manners.

When inviting guests to your party, send invitations to their homes instead of passing them out at school. This way, you won’t hurt the feeling of classmates you didn’t invite.

（1）Wait for all your guests to arrive before starting any activities. If people at the party don’t know each other, make sure you introduce everyone.

If your guests bring gifts for you, thank each gift----giver as you open his/her present. After the party, be sure to send a hand-written thank-you card to each guest, telling them how much you appreciate their gifts.

When you receive a invitation to a party, be sure to let the host know whether you can come.

Arrive on time. Bring a gift to a birthday party. （2）If（如果） it’s a holiday party, ask the host if （是否）there’s anything you can bring. Adults often bring a desert or a bottle of wine to a party, even when the host tells them that he/she doesn’t need anything. Young people don’t have to do this, but it’s always polite to ask.

Be friendly to the other guests. Remember to say “Please” and “Thank you”! When you leave, thank the host for the party.

             At many Thanksgiving dinners, everyone around the table shares something they are thankful for. As we know, most can do this easily. It’s more important to know how to be thankful people all the time.

       Be positive(乐观).No matter what happens, it’s best to remember the good things. Find the bright side in bad situations, and push back against negative(负面的) opinions. Also, do your best not to compare yourself to others. But when you’re around others, give expression to what you like about them. By keeping good in mind, you’ll gibe thanks for it even more than before.

       Accept the negative.At the same time, we can’t pay no attention to bad things that have happened. We should learn from mistakes. It makes us become strong. Before we know it, we’re thankful for negative things, too. Our mistakes can also make us humble(谦逊的), which is not all bad. Humble people have better relationships and see life’s blessings(祝福) much more clearly!

       Acts of kindness.Thankful people know that it’s much better to gibe than to receive. When you’re thankful, you feel it’s your duty to show love to others. Some people volunteer to help people in need. Studies show that volunteers might feel happier and healthier.

       Use of time.By spending time with others, you show them how much they mean to you. But being thankful is also better realized by spending time alone. When you’re alone, you can think about the best parts of you day. You can list them out and think them over. You can find your way to make thanksgiving a part of you life. How wonderful it is! Just enjoy it every day!

In Chongqing, there will be 3,000 new school buses on the street by the end of this year. These school buses look just like the American school buses: yellow with a big nose.

    In China, besides the bus driver, there should be an adult(成人)on the school bus to watch the students. If there are more than 40 students, two adults are needed. The students usually rest or read books on the school bus.

    In America, yellow school buses are very popular. There are about 480,000 school buses in the country. The older kids sit in the back of the bus. The young kids sit in the front. They usually listen to music, talk on their phones or just sleep. The only adult in the bus is the driver.

    The school bus is important in students' everyday lives. It can keep children safe. Usually a child is much safer going to school by school bus than any other way.

(2)What do American kids usually do on their school buses? (不超过15个词)

(3)Why is the school bus important in students' everyday lives? (不超过10个词)

I am my motherˈs third girl. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘).Then he gave her some advice, "Donˈt treat her any differently from the other girls." And she did!

    There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen, "Mum, I canˈt peel(削……皮)potatoes. I only have one hand." "You get back to peel those potatoes, and donˈt ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"

    Of course I could peel potatoes一with my good hand and my other arm. "Jenny, if you try hard enough," she said, "you can do anything."

    Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bar(攀爬架).When it was my turn, I said no. Some kids laughed. I went home crying.

The next afternoon Mum took me back to the school playground. "Now, pull up with your right arm," she advised. She praised me when I made progress. Iˈll never forget when I was crossing the bar, the kids were standing there with their mouths open.

It was the way with everything. Mum had the courage to face anything. And she taught me I could, too.

Every child has a dream of what they want to be, right? When Rence Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firewoman because her father was a fireman. Sadly, when she was fourteen, her father died(死)and she was never able to volunteer with him. Renceˈs story doesnˈt end there. She was strong and never gave up, at last she became a good firewoman.

I think sheˈs great. Sheˈs always glad to do anything for anyone in need. With 140 people in her station, Rence is one of the only three women. Whatˈs more, she is always glad to help others.

What Rence did helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope someday to be just like her:

To wake up and help people every day.

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as access.

Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage done by radiation won't be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been found.

(72)Space junk is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9，000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites(卫星), 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸) in 1999 made a cloud of 300，000 fragments(碎片), each at least 4mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to deal with space junk.

Although space is really dangerous, (73)it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.
