We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand (泰国). All the different
smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we
are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and
then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok(曼谷) is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market
which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken
hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in
Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people
here love the quiet life-no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always
smile and say "hello". Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our
kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

the situation in American English?
Red is a hot color. Americans may say they are red hot about something unfair. They are red hot when they
are very angry about something. The small hot-tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hot
for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is
red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland Jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The
expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It comes from the fact that
many babies are born with nice pink skin that shows that they are in good health.
The color black is often used in expressions. People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a
black day. People or things on a blacklist are connected with things illegal now. But at one time, some
businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has
a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick
from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has. That
person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars
or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because green is the color of the back side of the paper money.

is being used in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New York to keep kids from gathering in big groups and
causing trouble.
The Mosquito makes a noise that only kids can hear. About 3,000 Mosquito units have been fixed in the
United Kingdom. In the United States, managers of an apartment building in New York City recently fixed
one to keep noisy kids from taking over the building"s entrance-hall.
A children"s tights agency in England wants the device forbidden. The agency says the device unfairly
targets teens. Some also worry that the high sounds could hurt young ears. Fans of the Mosquito say it keeps
kids out of trouble and off private property.
"Mosquito devices violate (侵犯) the human rights of kids. The use of the devices is targeted at kids
because it considers all kids as troublemakers.The devices are also harmful because the noise could hurt kids"
hearing. Besides violating our rights, the Mosquito is dangerous. It could hurt the ears and the hearing of teens,
babies and animals because they are more sensitive," says California eighth grader Kelly Straky."It is not right
to place the device in a public place. Teenagers have as much right to public places as adults. I listened to the
Mosquito sound, and it was extremely loud. It hurts no only your ears but also your whole head. It isn"t just
annoying; it"s painful. It should not be allowed."
Fans of the Mosquito believe that property owners have a right to decide who can be on their property and
who cannot. Mosquito devices are a method of protecting private property and keeping the peace. Property
laws are put into to protect the public.
"Yes, I do believe that the rights of teens should be valued, but we must always put ourselves in other
people"s shoes and see the other side. In this case, doing so allows people to understand the negative effects,
such as crime, that loitering (滞留) can have on an area or a community," said Kayla Hill from New York.
B. go away
C. sit down
D. play games
B. is a safety tool aimed at youths
C. is mostly purchased by the police
D. is intended for adult troublemakers
B. keeps a close eye on her private property
C. hears the noise of the Mosquito frequently
D. believes many kids are causing annoying problems
B. suggests protecting kids" hearing
C. argues against the use of the mosquito
D. stresses the need to fix the Mosquito
B. Teachers.
C. Shop owners.
D. Parents.
drinking, which is found by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
[2]The reaction time of people who sent text messages as they drove slowed by 35%, while the reaction
time of those who had drunk alcohol slowed by 12%."This research shows how dangerous it is to text while
driving," researcher Nick Reed said in a statement. He said drivers who texted were distracted by trying to read
small texts on the phone and by thinking about how to write their messages. And using the phone requires them
to put their hands off the wheel. The combination of factors caused the slowness of reaction and the impairment (减弱) of vehicle control.
[3]One conclusion researchers made about why texting while driving is so dangerous is the length of time it
takes to write a message. The TRL said that writing a text message behind the wheel took 63 seconds, in which a car travels nearly a mile within town centre speed limits and over a mile within motorway speed limits.
[4]Nearly half of the 18-to 24-year-olds admitted texting as they drove, another survey discovered.
[5]The TRL study selected 17 people from the 18-to 24-year-old age group to take part in a simulated (模拟的) road test, in which they were on a variety of roads."The participants in this study were almost unanimous (一致同意的) in their view that texting while driving was the most dangerous action on the road," RAC Director Stephen Glaister said.
[6] "We need to ensure that drivers who love texting understand that texting is one of the most dangerous
things that can be done while in charge of a car," Glaister said in a statement.

It is a language all its own, and no words can say "Glad to meet you...glad to be doing business with you..."
quite like sharing a meal offered by your host.
Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "No, thanks." Acceptance of the food on your plate means
acceptance of host, country, and company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow, swallow. Or,
as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron stomach and eat everything everywhere."
Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country"s eating culture. What would Ataiericans think
of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort comes not
so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity with it. After all, an oyster has remarkably the
same look as a sheep"s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost anybody of a creature from a
science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way, in Saudi Arabia sheep"s eyes are
a famous dish.
Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travelers say no, at least not
before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice any item very thin. This way, you minimize the
taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, "Swallow it quickly," as one traveler recommends. "I still
can"t tell you what sheep"s eyeballs taste like." As for dealing with taste, the old line that "It tastes just like
chicken" is often thankfully true. Even when "it" is really rat or snake.
Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What"s for dinner? Don"t ask. Avoid
glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you are eating
the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup.
B. share the writer"s personal experiences
C. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier in eating
D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food
B. safety worries
C. lack of information about it
D. the unfamiliar atmosphere
B. one should refuse strange food after a few bites
C. English-language menus are not always dependable
D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in any country
B. greeting people with different dieting habits
C. evaluating chefs at an international food festival
D. getting someone to try a visually unpleasant meal

does. Other times, it signals the start of a"group project"-which means you"ll be working with a few classmates
for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment (任务).
2 Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high
school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others. Right now,
group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could
alone. 3
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not know or talk with-maybe the
quiet kid in the third row, or the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten. 4 For
example: working on a deadline (最后期限),staying organized, or being patient. And if you"re a little nervous
talking in front of a group, a joint (联合的) project can help you become more comfortable with it.
5 If so, you"ll know your whole group is rooting for you!
B. Why is this type of project so popular in school?
C. With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
D. Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project.
E. Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you"re not so sure of.
F. When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what"s coming next.
G. One key to a good meeting is having a leader, who should help the group stay focused.
