I accepted the invitation, and Im excited about going, but Im a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so Im a little worried about making mistakes. Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that Im thankful for their kindness? Yours, Knowing NothingDear Knowing Nothing, Its a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Dont get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to relax at the dinner table. If you dont know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, dont be shy about asking the person next to you; its better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous. If you like the food, say so. Of course, youll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. Its also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after. Yours, Betty51 Knowing Nothing wrote a letter to Betty to _. A. tell Betty some good news B. ask for some advice C. answer some questions D. invite her to dinner52 According to Betty, Knowing Nothing _ when going to a dinner party.

A. relax at the dinner table B. watch the other guests C. ask the person beside him D. keep silent at tableB February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines. On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentines Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didnt allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of historys most romantic characters. Nowadays, Valentines Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentines cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.54. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country? A. Because there were few women in his country at that time. B. Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers. C. Because there wasnt enough food for so many people. D. Because he wanted to control the birth rate.55. Valentine was put into prison because _.

Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报). For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.62 Which is true about weather forecasting? A. Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like. B. Weather forecasting is a report about the weather. C. Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain. D. People can change the weather forecasting. 63. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on theway”? A. away. B. gone.C. coming.D. disappearing.64. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be _. A. clear and fineB. warm C. rainyD. cold65. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy? A. Some birds fly high. B. A rainbow appears in the morning.C. The sunset is mostly red in colour. D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.E Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates. Li Wen, a junior 2 student from No. 2 Middle School, could not understand his teacher and was doing badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it that he started to cut his finger with a knife. Another student, 16-year-old Yang Fang from No. 1 Middle School, was afraid of exams. She got very worried in one, and when she looked at the exam paper, she couldnt think of anything to write. A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of Shanghai teenagers have mental problems. Their troubles include being worried and very unhappy, and having problems in learning and getting on with people. Many students who have problems wont go for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others dont want to talk about their secrets. Liang Yuezhu, an expert on teenagers from Beijing Anding Hospital has the following advice for teenagers: Talk to your parents or teachers often. Take part in group activities and play sports.
