Some people who said to have a bad memory dont r 87 have memory problems. They just dont take time to notice the details. If you pay more attention to the details, youre sure to have a much clearer memory of events. A little exercise that you could do is to p 88 memorizing lists of things, such as the things your are going to buy in a supermarket, or even the ingredients (原料) printed on your biscuit box. Do more activities such as puzzles, word g 89 , and learn a new language. These activities will further improve your brain functions and will help you improve your memory. Try to have more free time.

As more and more people came to live in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is no forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these “woods”.Elephants, tigers and many o 86 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the animals began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and r 87 pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed fire to keep t 88 _ warm in winter, to cook their food and to drive away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly d 89 because there was not enough food for them. So did most of the wolves and tigers.You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong e 90 in the zoos, but there are still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most lovely of Hong Kongs animals is the barking deer. These are beautiful little animals w 91 a rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet high. They make a noise rather like a dog barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only one r 92 enemy men. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important for people to protect these wild animals.86. other 87. raised 88. themselves 89. disappeared/died 90. except 91. with 92. real金山（286）(1) L1Now students English handwriting (书法) gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel w 86 . Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work! Use paper with lines. Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the r 87 size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters (大写字母) are written properly. Slow down.If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, its hard for you to stop where you should, and even w 88 , you may make more mistakes . Hold your pencil right. When you hold your pencil in a correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and dont hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good h 89 . Draw more pictures.Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to c 90 your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by y 91 at home.Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your f 92 run up to you?

It was pretty hot outside, so they decided to get o 86 the bus and buy some cold drinks. They got their refreshments(活力恢复) and took a walk down the street. As they waited at the crosswalk, they saw a wonderful new car come up. As they admired(羡慕) the car, the passenger door opened a bit and an empty juice b 87 rolled out. Then the light turned green and the car sped off. Carla and Brain could hardly believe it. Who would put trash(垃圾) in the middle of the street? Brian n 88 all the other trash in the street and on sidewalks. He explained to Carla how much he hated litter and how lazy it was to be a litterbug (垃圾虫). They decided that they had to get their neighbourhood cleaned up. When they got home, Carla and Brian wrote a letter.They suggested that the city put p 89 trash cans in every corner. They described how they felt about people littering in their town. They wrote that they wanted to see the streets and sidewalks cleaned up. They e 90 asked everyone in the neighbourhood to sign the letter. Then Brian sent it to the mayor (市长). A few weeks later, Brian told Carla he wanted to s 91 her something. He took his sister for a walk up the street. What do you think they saw? There were new trash cans on every corner and hardly any litter on the sidewalks!The mayor had listened to them. Carla and Brian were happy and p 92 .

The answer will most p 86 be the TV! Young people would certainly choose the TV, but you will be surprised to find out that the older o 87 will at least hesitate about choosing it. Why is this? Are the books not as interesting as they used to be? Is it that the world has changed so much in recent years that our habits are not the same anymore? Nowadays many people have no interest in literature（文学）. This may be a possible explanation. Another r 88 might be the change of lifestyle (生活方式). We are more l 89 to visit a club or a bar to relax ourselves after a long days work, rather than read a book in the comfort of our own homes. People are more outgoing than they used to be. All the stress (压力) of work makes us want a quick relaxing means. Perhaps, most of us do not have the patience to read anymore. It is much s 90 to turn on the TV and watch the latest news around the world than read 19th century literature!With all the TV programs, every one of us can find an interesting show or movie to watch. Whats better than getting into b 91 with the remote control(遥控器) and falling asleep whenever you wish? You are the master of all the TV programs. The only disadvantage is that TV will never p 92 you with all the facts that a book can do.

Sneakers, of course! Almost everybody o 86 at least one pair of sneakers. But, how many people know the history of the sneaker? Sneakers were first introduced around the b 87 of the 20th century. The sneaker was invented when a shoe company glued a piece of rubber to the shoetop. They called it an athletic (运动的)shoe. In 1917, U.S. Rubber sold athletic shoes called Keds. The shoes became known as “sneakers,” because they were so q 88 that you could sneak up on(偷偷接近) people while wearing them. For many years, sneakers only came in one c 89 choiceand it wasnt white. They were brown with black bottoms. The way sneakers looked changed in the early 1960s. A runner named Phil Knight and his coach, Bill Bowerman, decided to make them b 90 . They made some experiments to find a light, comfortable athletic shoe, and went into the sneaker business. One day, Bowerman stuck a piece of rubber into a waffle maker(华夫饼制造器). W 91 he heated it up, the iron made a pattern of criss-crosses(十字图案) in the rubber. Bowerman was inspired to use this on the sole(鞋底) of a shoe to give the shoe traction(摩擦力) and a lighter weight. He knew that this rubber wouldnt slip on the gym floor. The two men named their shoes Nike, after a Greek goddess. Nike was a symbol of victory. From then o 92 , Nike shoes became winners, too. They were sold in many different colors and styles and have sold millions and millions all around the world.86. owns 87. beginning 88. quiet 89. colour 90. better 91.

There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well if it doesnt receive the proper kind of “fuel”. Dont eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods which are h 87 in protein(蛋白质), like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they p 88 necessary vitamins and minerals（矿物质）. However, dont eat too much. It is not helpful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you dont get enough sleep, you will feel tired and get angry e 89 . You will have no energy. So, be sure to have seven to nine h 90 of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong.F 91 , get plenty of exercise. Exercise makes the body strong and prevents you from putting on weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably i 92 your life-span（寿命）. Doing exercises is not only good for your body, but it is fun and enjoyable, too.If you eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, you will all live to be much older and wiser.86. care87. high 88. provide89. easily 90. hours 91.

They seldom complain and always o 86 their owners,” said Mary Smith of Washington D.C.Doctors will also tell you that people who have dogs seem to be happier and healthier than those who live a 87 . One reason for this is that people with dogs lead more active lives. Who can say no to a lovely dog when he pulls on your arm and asks you to take him for a walk?Dogs are really amazing animals. They not only offer emotional (情感的) support but also p 88 great help for humans. Think about guide dogs for blind people, or dogs that help people in wheelchairs.However, it is the emotional side of owning a dog that has been studied in detail by Dr Julie Davis of Chicago University. “B 89 every dog lover there is a story,” says Dr Davis. “Why do people love their dogs so much? If you hear their stories, its not difficult to understand why.”Dr Davis has studied the r 90 between dogs and people for the last ten years. “I have spoken to people in parks, pet stores, and veterinary (兽医的) offices, as well as stopping people in the street. I have interviewed office workers and farmers, policemen and construction workers,” says Dr Davis. “E 91 wants to talk about their dogs. Many people said they cried much more when their dogs died than when their parents did. They said the sadness was much d 92 . People are finding animals are more reliable than human beings. People tell me all the time that they get more emotional support from their dogs than they do from their husbands or wives.”86. obey 87. alone 88. provide 89.

Students c 86 small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play music l 87 as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the n 88 about sports, the weather, and activities of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make CDs or tapes which radio starts to use in every state. Once the popular signer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape. Some of the m 89 from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the signer has become a national s 90 .There are o 91 kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It has stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was done by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, a 92 music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music. Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instruments is called orchestra music, such as the symphonies of Beethoven.86. carry 87. loudly 88. news 89. money 90. star 91. other 92. any徐汇（339）(3) L2For years I wanted a flower garden. Id spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together. But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five c_86_. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and Id have to say, Do you see a m_87_ tree outside? Money doesnt grow on trees, you know.Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their o_88_. I started thinking again about having a garden. I wasnt sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money.Then, one spring morning, on Mothers Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that there must be something u_89_ outside there because a group of people were gathering at the gate. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow(垂柳树), because I saw things b_90_ around on it. Then I put my glasses on - and I couldnt believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard! I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, all over that tree. There was also a note writing: You also have my eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin.Marvin kept his p_91_, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot flower bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, pipes, flower seeds and gardening books.That was three years ago. My gardens now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and take care of my flowers, I dont seem to m_92_ my children as much as I once did. It feels like theyre right there with me.Im still not sure that money grows on trees.

For example, art museums are places where people can learn about d 86 kinds of cultures. More and more popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most museums, the design museum shows objects that are e 87 found in our daily life, such as fridges and washing machines.The advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel f 88 with the exhibits.
