People travelled to see the buildings， the food， the national dresses in foreign countries because they thought they would not be the same as those of their own countries in the past．（1） 　

　 They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere． They all have their McDonald's， their KFCs and their Pizza Huts． Office buildings look the same everywhere， and most city centers are full of office buildings．And of course， people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars．

Then why is the foreign travel more popular nowadays？What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they can not experience at home？ The answer could be that people could be very interested in the past．（2） 　　Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries' history and culture used to be like， not what they are like today．Tourists visit different kinds of museums in foreign countries so that they can learn their history and culture．

Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit． （3）

Shanghai is one of the first cities in China to see bike sharing fever． Shared bikes can now be found all over the city． （1）　　 On streets， we can often see riders of your age． Some might even be younger than you． Unluckily， there have been some accidents involving （涉及）shared bikes． （2）　　

One of the most serious accidents took place in March． One Sunday afternoon， a boy was riding an ofo bike（共享单车）． He was hit by a bus and later died． The boy' s parents were not by his side． （3）　　He was only about 10 years old．

The good news is that Shanghai has been trying to manage bike sharing by making rules． The rules are still being discussed， but some of the rules have been decided on． （4）　　Users must be between 1.45 and 1.95 meters tall．

However， it could be hard to make these rules work． Ou Jing is ofo's manager in Shanghai． He said the company had banned （禁止）children under 12 from using its service． Yet， young children can still be seen riding ofo bikes． That's because many ofo bikes use manual （手动的）locks． （5）　　Ofo has developed electronic locks． However， it will take some time for the company to fix the new locks on all of its bikes．

Most of you are old enough to ride a shared bike． Still， please ride slowly for your own safety． When you finish using the bike， don' t forget to park and lock it properly﹣﹣for everybody's safety．

Getting English Language Learners to Put Down the Books and Have Some Fun

Even if there's so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting，a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun.Here are some suggestions.

★Communicate with strangers.If you live in an area filled with English speakers，get students out of the classroom.（1） 　 　.Students may not speak to strangers，but they'll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learnt in the classroom are actually used in everyday speech.

★Let their guard down.One difficult thing for learners is confidence （自信）when they speak English.Fun activities，especially those outside of the classroom，give students a chance to feel relaxed.（2） 　 　.It may take a bit of time at the beginning，but once students get into it，they'll start to get confidence.

★Make use of English media （媒体）.Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases.（3） 　 　.They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie.If they're not sure about something they hear，it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom.

★（4） 　 　 .Casual （随意的）conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations.They can talk all they want about expressions to use while dining out or informal words to use with friends，but it takes a trip to McDonald's or a picnic in the park for many of those expressions to truly set in.

A．	You can let students go to a movie in English.
B．	Put them among other English speakers.
C．	They may hate to speak English.
D．	Hear or use English in situations.
E．	They will speak more freely.

（5）How do you learn English？ （回答不多于10个单词） 　                      

Problems between parents and children are common.If you need to improve your relationship with your parents，you are not alone.To develop a better relationship with your parents，you should change how you think and do things.（1）　 　.

    Act first.Don't wait for your parents to try to improve the relationship.（2）　 　.

   Be thankful to your parents.Think about everything that your parents have done for you,you are sure to feel thankful to them.（3）　 　.Give them a nice gift or do some housework without being asked.They will be happy with you for these actions.

    （4）　 　.Talk to your parents about things that you care about and your feelings about these things.Often talk to them，and your parents can understand you better.If so，it's easy for them to discuss things that you are interested in and develop the relationship.

    Accept that your parents are different.They grow up in a different situation with different technologies.（5）　 　.Try to remind them of any problem in their relationships with their parents because of these differences.Use this information when you talk to your parents to improve your relationship with them.

A.Be open and honest. B.Be brave and hard﹣working. C.You should take action first. D.Here is some advice for you. E.So they think in a different way. F.Show your thanks with your actions.

You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby.At first，you learned them only by hearing other people talk.Now that you're a reader，you have another way to learn words.What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means？（1） 　 　.

Say it

First sound it out.Then say it to yourself.（2） 　 　.Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print.So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!

Use context

If this doesn't work，take the next step：look at the context the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence：When it rained，the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.（3） 　 　.Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.

（4） 　 　

If the context doesn't help，look at the parts of the word.Does it have any parts you know？These can help you understand what it means.If you don't know the meaning of miner，try looking at parts of the word.You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things.A lot of times， ﹣er at the end of a word means "a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.

Look it up

If the three steps above don't work，you can look it up.（5） 　 　，either a book or online.

Nobody knows the meaning of every word，but good readers know how to understand words they don't know.

Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage.Each choice should be used only once.

A.Use word parts

B.Look at the words

C.It might sound like a word you know

D.You can find the word in a dictionary

E.Following some easy steps can help you

F.If the word shelter doesn't look familiar，look at the words around it

It seems that food deliverymen（送货员） are always in a hurry． They wear blue， red or yellow helmets and many of them don't follow traffic rules． （1）　　 They use mobile phones while driving．

    These rude behaviors have caught the public's attention． In the first half of 2017， food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai， according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau． That means every two and a half days， a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road．

Too many people want others to be their friends， but they don't give friendship back． That is why some friendships don't last very long．（1） 　　You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you． Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules： be honest； be generous（慷慨的）； be understanding．

Honesty is where a good friendship starts． Friends must be able to trust one another．If you don't tell the truth， people usually find out． If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest， you may lose your friend's trust．（2）
