Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset(不安的) if your English friends don"t invite you home. It doesn"t mean they don"t like you.
Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 pm and end at about 11. Ask your hosts (主人) what
time you should arrive. It"s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks (小吃). If you want to be extra polite, say how much
you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember: it"s not polite to ask how much things cost.
In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with
their guests.
You"ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you"ll have meat or fish with
vegetables, and then dessert (甜点心), followed by coffee. It"s polite to finish everything on your plate
and to take more if you want it.
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter. British
and American people like to say "thank you, thank, thank you" all the time!

(singer for the band U2), and maybe they wil say “green”. That’s not because these artists particularly like
the color green. Instead, they are interested in green fashion.
Green fashion is about making(and wearing)clothes that are good for humans, animals, and the Earth.
In the past, green fashion made people think of hippies(嬉皮士)and ugly clothes. But today, green fashion is different. It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people. You can have interesting clothes and be green.
Around the world, green fashion is becoming popular. For example, the UK.company People Tree sells men"s and women’s clothing and accessories(附件). They are made from natural fabrics(面料) like
cotton and wool. Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Nepal, Kenya, and Bangladesh. People Tree pays the men and women good money for the clothes they create.
Singer Bono and his wife also started a clothing company called EDUN. When the clothes sell, EDUN uses most of the money to help people around the world.

The expression "Go for it!" is a way of encouraging someone to try something.
"Go for it!" means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance
and be brave.
"Go for it!" gets its name from football. But it is not the football played in most countries such as
England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.
One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three tries, to move
the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a very important decision.
The conservative(保守的)choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat (暂时失败)in
order to get a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice,
however, is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.
People now are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, "Kick the ball!" But others will
encourage the team to take a chance. "Go for it!" they will shout loudly.
In the 1980"s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations(情形) to encourage
someone to act bravely.
There is no guarantee(保证) that the action you "Go for it!" will succeed. But when you decide to
go for it, you only consider your action. That is the chance you can take. You put your fears behind.
You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.
B. You should take a chance and be brave.
C. You should go to school and ask teachers for help.
D. You should be very careful.
B. French
C. Japanese
D. American
B. action
C. result
D. success
B. We try to improve our English for better education.
C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment
D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.
I like your programmes very much. I"m now writing to ask you something about American social
customs .My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have
decided to go, but I"m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different
from here, so I"m afraid of making mistakes. Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should
I arrive on time or a little late?
At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I"m
thankful for their kindness?
Wang Lin
Dear Wang Lin,
It"s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or
you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to
ten minutes late. Don"t get there early. If you"re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should
call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don"t know about choosing the right fork or
knife, just watch the other
people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you. If you like
the food, say so. Of course, you"ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It"s also a good idea
to send a thank you card the day after.

Why is the book so attractive to children? After reading it, I was attracted by the magic world. I can not help asking: where is our own Harry Potter?
China has a long history and colorful culture. With a large market of teenagers, China published(出版)many popular books among children. However, why are the present books not as good as those foreign ones?
Firstly, quite a number of children"s books are written for teaching, and they have little interest. Reading them, children often have a feeling of being “educated”. Certainly, they don"t like them. Secondly, fewer children like the same stories, but most Chinese books are usually much the same. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. Finally, the writers seldom think about children"s needs.
First-class Reading, for children should be interesting, and written in their language.
B. Our writers seldom know children"s needs.

During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, and earned very little money. In the United States and Canada, working people got together to try to make their workplaces better. These groups of people formed unions (团体). The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher salaries (工资), but many of them refused to accept their ideas.
On May 1, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight-hour day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fights with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working every May 1 to honour workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May was a national holiday in many countries.
In the United States and Canada, May 1 is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the Unites States, Labour Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the Unites States, Labour Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and the students return to school the next day.
