It was Monday. Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it,“ Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently,“ Take this to the butcher and he's going to give you your lunch today.” Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. Af- ter reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more. The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers. But, the dog came again at four o' clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o' clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.

YOU’VE probably heard of American baseball and basketball, but how much do you know about American football?
American football started in the United States back in 1869 and is one of the most popular sports in the US today.
Parts of American football actually come from rugby (橄榄球). Like in rugby, there are two teams trying to get the ball. They can either kick (踢) the ball through the goalposts (球门柱) or get the ball into the goal area.
But that’s where the similarities end. Players wear football pads (垫肩) and helmets (头盔) to protect themselves. The ball is smaller than a rugby ball, and the rules can be hard to follow if you don’t already know them.
In 1985, professional football passed baseball as the most popular sport in the US, according to a Harris Interactive poll (民意测验). And it has stayed at the number one spot since then.
Football in the US is not just a sport. It also plays a part in US culture. For Thanksgiving, famil ies will get together, eat and give thanks, but it’s also known as a big day to watch football. And professional football teams bring the entire nation together every year for the Super Bowl game.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well, milk may work in the same way!
Milk is the natural food for mammalian (哺乳动物) babies. It helps them grow strong because it is rich in protein (蛋白质), calcium (钙) and vitamins. Milk can also help you sleep better because it calms you down.
But remember to drink milk with care. Find out how old the milk is. Make sure it is fresh and hasn't gone bad. Don't drink milk when your stomach is empty. Eat some bread or corn at the same time. That'll help you take in more protein and vitamins.
Doctors say teens need at least 500ml of milk a day. That's two or three cups. Milk-drinking started long ago, as early as 6,000-8,000BC. At that time people started to keep cows, sheep and goats to get their milk.
Of course what you drink today isn't that fresh from the cow. People cool the fresh milk down to 40℃ to stop the bacteria (细菌)growing. In factories, milk is pasteurized (灭菌) to stop it growing bad. After disinfections (消毒) and packaging, it goes to the supermarkets.
Yoghourt also comes from milk. People make some special bacteria to change the taste of milk and make the nutrients (营养) in it easier for people to take in. Maybe that's why it's getting more popular with people!
( )11. Milk helps people grow strong because it is rich in _____.
A. Calcium
B. protein
C. vitamins
D. A, B and C
( )12. The sentence "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." tells us that _____.
A.the doctor likes to eat apples every day
B. the doctor doesn't like apples at all
C. the doctor eats an apple each day
D. apples are good for our health
( )13. When you drink milk, you'd better _____.
A. find out when the milk was produced
B. make sure it's fresh and hasn't gone bad
C. not drink milk when your stomach is empty
D. do all of the above
( )14. Why is it better to eat some bread or corn while drinking milk?
A. Our body can take in more protein and vitamins in this way.
B. That will help us grow taller and stronger.
C. That will help us taste milk better.
D. We'll still feel hungry without eating some bread or corn.
( )15. Which of the following statements is true?
A. One cup of milk is good enough for teens each day.
B. Drinking milk is likely to make teens sleepy.
C. To stop the bacteria growing, people cool the fresh milk down to 40℃.
D. Yoghourt is one kind of milk which has gone bad

Good morning,everyone!Today I'm going to talk about inventions.
Inventions are created every day because people would like to make life easier.There are famous inventions like the TV and the bicycle.The TV provides us with different kinds of information so that we can know more about the world.We watch entertain ment programs to relax ourselves.Besides,some learning programs help us with our study.
The bicycle is very useful,too.It's not so expensive that most of us can afford it.It ma kes no pollution,which is good for our environment.What's more,bicycle riding is a kind of sport which is quite good for our health.
Though there have been many great inventions,I wish to invent a kind of pen which can help us write more quickly and neatly.When we meet problems in doing our homework,it will tell us how to solve them.
That's all.Thank you very much.。
