III. Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false
Oranges were first known in China about four thousand years ago. There are two kinds of orange trees, the sweet and the sour. At first, people in Europe only had sour oranges. They started to grow them around the ninth century. From the eleventh century on sour oranges were widely grown in southern Europe.
Sweet oranges weren't brought to Europe by businessmen from the East until the fifteenth century. They were a kind of rare fruit at that time. Only very rich people could afford them. They paid a lot of money to get the orange trees. They planted these trees in their gardens. In cold countries, these expensive orange trees would be killed during a cold winter, so the rich people built greenhouses for them. The orange trees were planted in tubs. In summer they were moved outside. But in winter, they were kept safe behind the glass in the greenhouses. When Christopher
Columbus went to America by sea, he carried many oranges with him. Since then sweet oranges have grown very well in the New World in the warm weather. Today the United States produces the most oranges in the world.

Manson was our oral English teacher in the middle school. When he came to the classroom for the first time, the Canadian man gave us a very deep impression: aged about 40, hook¬nosed, brown hair, a little fat. He greeted us with a big toothy smile. But wc were all amused by his big smile.
His classes were fresh and interesting. In the course of teaching, he told us a lot about his strange business life in Canada. He also described to us the picture of people crazily shopping during the Christmas season. He often selected various unusual topics for us to discuss in class such as: Will you marry or stay single in future'.' Do you want to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend? We all found that we had learned a lot from his classes.
Manson often acted like a young man. Whenever he saw the boys playing football in the field, he would join them. He was not a good player, but he would try his best to perform well. He also practiced "Taiji" — a traditional Chinese exercise in his spare time. He even performed it in class occasionally, which caused a burst of laughter.
Manson seemed to have no trouble in his life except for weight. He told us that he never stopped trying to lose weight. One day when he entered the classroom, someone mentioned to him that he looked slimmer. "Really?" he responded quickly, smiling with his shining teeth. To confirm the truth, he stepped onto a chair and danced in a circle. He looked like a lovely panda at the moment. We all thought it our good luck to have such a wonderful foreigner as our English teacher.

Crocodiles lay their eggs and leave those eggs under leaves or sand. The baby crocodiles only live in hot places. They are found in India, Australia, Africa, and America, where they spend most of their time lying in the mud or the river. The crocodile's tail is long and strong. It is used when
the crocodile is swimming. It's also good for fighting. The crocodile can use it to knock down a man or even a big animal at once.
The crocodile can stay away from danger under its hard skin called bony plates. The bony plates cover most of its body. The crocodile can only see things in front of itself, because it can't turn its head from side to side.
After eating, the crocodile can't clean its own teeth, because it can't move its tongue up and down. The crocodile bird will follow it to eat the food left in the crocodile's mouth. The bird helps crocodiles to clean their teeth.
With its hard and sharp teeth, the crocodile catches its food, maybe a fish, a small animal or even an unlucky man, and the crocodile holds its food below the water until the food dies.

Whenever I am in trouble, I say to myself that it is easy and everything will be solved. The smile gives me a lot.
Keeping smiling will bring you a good mood every day. And a smile has a good influence on other people. Maybe you are not beautiful, but I believe your smile is beautiful. You will be more and more beautiful when you smile.

If you are looking for the perfect Christmas gift, Mike McCarey is the man to call. He makes strange and wonderful cakes for special occasions. You will be surprised by what he can do! Mike has been making cakes since he left high school. After working as a pasta cook all around the U. S., he started his own company in 1995. Now, his cakes are famous as far away as England and France.
It's easy to see why Mike's cakes stand out. They are all unique, personal, and look more like works of art than food.
Whenever someone asks Mike to make a cake, he works with them to find the perfect design. Once, some office workers wanted a good joke for their boss's 50"' birthday. They told Mike that their boss loved noodles. Can you make a cake that looks like a packet of noodles? That is exactly what Mike did, and everyone thought it was funny as well as tasty.
Mike lets people visit his store, and says that speaking to others helps him think of new designs. Recently, he made a cake that looked just like a Formula One car, and put it next to a real one — guests at that party had to choose their desserts carefully.
Mike is very busy at this time of year, as many people want special Christmas presents for their friends and families. But who knows, he might even make a cake shaped as an airplane that can land on your door step in China!

The Shanghai Changjiang Tunnel-Bridge opened to traffic on October 31. Traffic has begun to flow over the bridge and tunnel system connecting Shanghai's downtown with Chongming Island.
The tunnel-bridge has two parts; an 8.9-kilometer tunnel between Pudong and Changxing Island and a 10. 3-kilometer bridge from"Changxing to Chongming. In the past, travelers had to take ferries on trips that could last for more than two hours and in bad weather there was no connection at all. Nowadays, a car ride from Shanghai's downtown to Chongming will just take a little less than an hour.
The new road connection will make life easier for the 700,000 people who live in Chongming and for the countless downtown citizens who visit Chongming for work and play and enough space has been left for a possible future extention of the city's Underground Line 9 to Chongming. "We were waiting for such a traffic project for a long time," said a traveler.

For nearly 100 years, "the little Mermaid" had sat on her rock looking out over Copenhagen Harbour. In 2010, she left the country. Actually, she was lifted from the harbour, boxed, and shipped to Shanghai. She was the star guest in the Denmark Pavilion at the World Expo 2010 which ran from May 1st to October 31st in Shanghai.
The small Statue is 1. 25 meters high. It was inspired by the tale of author Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid. This is a sad story about a mermaid who falls in love with a prince and gives up her life to save him. Since the statue was opened to the public in 1913, it has become a main tourist attraction in Copenhagen.
Copenhagen's mayor said that the trip of the statue to Shanghai was part of a cultural exchange between Denmark and China. " She is an excellent ambassador of Denmark, particularly since the Chinese are very fond of Hans Christian Andersen and his fairytales," he said happily.
The Little Mermaid statue was returned to the Danish capital at the end of November, 2010.

The latest fashion on British TV is Reality TV. It is popular because it makes stars out of ordinary people. Reality TV means shows that follow and film ordinary people in an artificial situation.
One of the first and most popular Reality TV shows is Big Brother. In this show, 15 complete strangers have to live together in a house for 11 weeks. They are filmed all the day. Each week, people will vote one of the 15 people they like. Finally, only one person can win the prize money — 50, 000 pounds!
The show is very popular in several countries. The actors often become stars, and they appear in national newspapers and on other shows.
Reality TV has come to China, too. The Chinese Super Boy is one example. In this show, thousands of boys sing in front of three judges. The judges do not have to be polite. As the show goes on, 15 companies and 50 ordinary people vote for their favorite singers and the number of singers goes down until only three are left. As a prize, the winners will make a recording contract with a famous music company.

People in the United States honor their parents on two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. President Woodrow Wilson decided to celebrate Mother's Day in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Washington thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own lather, William Smart. After her mother died, he had to raise a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father's Day was celebrated in Washington. Senator Margaret helped to make Father's Day a national day in 1972.
The two days are set to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them. They give children love and care.

III. Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false
Anne and Danny are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Danny is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.
People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the "new name" for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.
Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband's. Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations and their husband's in other situations. And some use both their own name and their husband's.

Canada Geese are large blue and white birds. When autumn comes, they have to fly south where the weather is warmer. The winters are so clod in Canada that the birds will die if they stay there.
Last spring, Bill Lishman found sixteen young Canada Geese on his farm. They had lost their parents. Bill thought that these young birds wouldn't know what to do in the autumn. He had a small plane and he decided to teach the birds to follow him.
All through the summer, he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese flew after him.
When the cold weather came in the autumn, Bill flew to Virginia in the United States, 600 miles south of his home in Canada. The geese followed him all the way. Bill left the geese in Virginia and returned home.
This spring, Bill was waiting for the birds to come back. They didn't arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get them. He looked for them for two weeks but he couldn't find them. When he came back home, he found the geese waiting for him. They had found their way home without him.

There are many things that can make people less careful when they are driving, but one of the biggest things might be mobile phones. A survey said 89% of young people had seen other young drivers talking on mobile phones while they were driving. The survey also found a new problem. That is sending and receiving text massages. The survey of one thousand young drivers found about hall of them sent and received text messages while they were driving. But the survey didn't say the number of the accidents caused by sending and receiving text messages while driving, because it is a new problem.
The survey said that this was not only a problem of young people. Adults had this problem, too. Many people are worried about this problem. So some states arc thinking about making a law about sending and receiving text messages. At present, only Washington D. C. has a law about that. It says sending and receiving text messages while people are driving is against the law. Now at least six other states are thinking about the same law.

Second, help strangers. Helping someone who has difficulty climbing stairs is a good way to start. Remember that some day you could be in need and a stranger could come to lend a hand.
Third, write thank-you notes to people who helped you or love you, make get-well cards for sick friends, and say goodbye to people who are leaving.
Last but not least, stay back after a party and help the host clear up. It may take you just a few minutes but to a person who is tired, the help is very grateful.

III. Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false
There is plenty of entertainment on Sunday in New York.
If the weather is bad, you may turn to the Entertainment Section of a newspaper to see what movies are on. Sunday afternoon is a good time for seeing a film, but movies are rather expensive in New York, so making a good choice may take time and care. Read the movie review to discover what the others think and say. No one wants to make an expensive mistake, nor does anyone want to stand in line a long time which is very possible if the movie is new and gets good reviews. If you're not sure that there is a movie interesting enough for you, look at the museum listing to see what exhibitions are on in town. Some museums are free, others are not.
But if the weather is good, you might read through the section which lists outdoor activities. Almost every Sunday in the springtime some neighborhoods would get permission from the Police Department to close off a street for "street fairs". There will be food for sale made by local people or restaurants, handicrafts sale and music provided by a local band (often high school kids) and perhaps dancing. If the fair is in Chinatown, you can expect to find egg rolls, music played on the erhu and dragon dances.

III. Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false
If you are a smoker and can stay away from cigarettes for four weeks, you will probably be able to give up smoking. Chinese smokers can get out of this habit easily because Chinese scientists have invented an electronic cigarette which could make the process seem more natural.
It looks like a pen, but it is in fact an electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette doesn't have harmful chemicals. The smoke is a kind of juice which is made up of different kinds of fruits.
A smoker can stop having an electronic cigarette at any lime. When the smoker uses it, the juice in the cigarette will turn into a fog, which looks just like the smoke given off by burning a cigarette. This kind of fog goes away quickly, leaving little pollution in the air.
Many smokers believe that they have smoked too long to stop. But scientists say it is never
too late to give up smoking. Of course, the earlier the better.

If you want to visit Bali, the only thing you should consider is the weather. The cool and dry season from April to October is the best time to visit Bali. The rest of the year is wetter, cloudier and has more rainstorms, but you can still enjoy a nice holiday there.

Mr. Liu told us not to worry and asked us to play as well as we could. He wanted us to remember teamwork.
The other team didn't play together very well. One of their players called Sun Ming was a tall and skilled boy. He thought he was the king of football matches. Early in the first half of the match, he kicked a goal, but we soon got one ourselves. We played together so well that they couldn't get the ball. We kept passing the ball to each other and they began to get angry. At the end of the first half we won.
In the second half of the match, Sun Ming kicked another goal, but one player didn't make a team. When the match ended, they kicked two goals while we kicked four.

What do you want to be when you grow up? I'm sure you were asked this question at least once when you were a youngster. We all have dreams of becoming something great, like a fireman, a teacher, or a rock star. But then again, things change. The older we get, our tastes change, our view of the world changes, even our goals change.
One of the most important lessons I've learned during my career path is to do something you love to do. I feel that if you enjoy what you make a living at, you will end up being happy in more ways than one.
While no job or business is perfect, the important thing is to enjoy it, even leam from it. If you are unhappy in your current situation, why not take steps now to change it? If you are already there, I applaud you. If not, realize that it may take some time to figure out what you really want to do, and even more time to actually get there.
Do what you love and love what you do. You'll be happier for it, trust me. I promise you will never look back.

After some time they came out. When they came out, the country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy than to be rich and afraid. "

As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps a kid before he goes to school:
Firstly, have social skills. As children play pretend games, they explore relationships between family members and friends and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctors, they imagine how doctors care for their patients.
Secondly, build self-confidence. Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a superhero defending the planet helps kids develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Thirdly, practice language skills. Kids who play pretend games with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps increase their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and improve communication skills.
Last but not least, enjoy reading books. To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.

Today is the Moon Festival, so my mother brought me and my sister to a hypermarket to buy something for the barbecue. It took us almost half an hour by metro. The hypermarket was in a building next to the underground station. It was much bigger than the supermarket near my house, where it only takes us 5 minutes to go. It was about 7 o'clock, so I could see many kinds of people there, like workers, housewives, students, and even some police officers. Some were looking for clothes, others were looking for furniture, and still some others were trying the samples. I jumped, touched, and looked around, because everything was so fresh and interesting. It took about three hours for us to walk around there.
We bought a lot of things, like pork, beef, vegetables and some fish. 1 helped my mother carry some heavy things. I was so tired after I got home, but it was really fun to go to the hypermarket. I hope I can go with my classmates next time, and buy something I want.

IV. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences
Land Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art of Earthworks, is a form of art which means using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the spiral Jetty, made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which stuck out into the waters of the lake.
Land Art is designed to develop, change, and finally disappear. That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museum. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they change and disappear over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artist.

Shirley was very, very lazy. There was nothing she liked. Shirley's mother wished very much that her child would learn to read, but the lady who tried to teach her soon gave it up. "It is no use," Shirley's mother said. "Shirley will not learn. She is not a stupid girl, but she is too lazy for anything. "
Soon after this, a young man from New York came to Shirley's house. He brought with him something no one else in the neighborhood had ever seen before — a pair of roller skates.
When Shirley saw the young man going rapidly up and down the ground on his skates, she ran after him like a cat. One day, the young man allowed her to try on the skates. The child was too happy. Of course she fell down, but she did not mind at all.
"Why didn't you learn?" said the young man. "It is just because you are too lazy. Now, if on the first day of January you can read quickly, I will send you a pair of roller skates. "
Shirley learnt to read quickly. Of course, she got her own nice roller skates.
