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!

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.

Why do people cry? Scientists say the body produces(产生)tears because it needs them. One kind of tears(眼泪)is for the eye, the other is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust(灰尘)gets into your eye, tears also come into the eye to clean it out. If you are hurt by something，your strong feelings produce some poisonous chemicals(毒素)in your body, and at the same time, tears come out with them. (1)If tears don’t help clean out these poisonous chemicals, they will do harm to(伤害)the heart.

In the United States men have heart problems more often than women do. (2)Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures(压力)of living and working now.Perhaps men have more of these illnesses because they do not cry enough. They need to cry more.

In fact, you can find many ways of reducing(减少)the pressures to keep fit. Crying is a natural(自然)and physical(生理)one.

Today we went to Underwater World（水底世界）for our school trip. It took us about 30 minutes to get there by bus. Underwater World is the most famous place in our city, so it attracts（吸引）a lot of travelers every year.

When we arrived there, we were excited to see all kinds of sea animals, such as sharks, dolphins（海豚）, seals and sea lions. The colors of these animals blended (相称) very well with the background, especially the corals (珊瑚).

The sharks in this aquarium attracted most tourists. They swam across the aquarium freely, while smaller fishes had to watch out and fear for(担心）their lives. Besides, dolphins are a big attraction, too. ( 54) We watched a wonderful dolphin show before we left Underwater World.

The school trip was very enjoyable, and we learned a lot from the amazing（迷人的）world of animals.根据短文内容简要回答问题。

Today it is found that most middle school students pay little attention to sports. It’s because they have no interest in sports? It may not be the fact. They often say they have other more important things to do. What are these important things? Exams! They usually spend over ten hours a day revising for exams. So many of them almost become bookworms. In the summer holidays they could hardly do anything they like. Books ①_______ them from going in for sports. ②因为来自父母和老师的压力,他们不得不更加努力学习. As for the students themselves, they want to get good results so that they can go further for their studies. ③They don’t have to put all their effort into studying and give up all the sports and hobbies.
