Five Things to Do Before You Are 18
Are you bored with your daily routine? Here are some things you should try before you are 18, because after that it’s too late.
Write your family tree
When you are young, get to know all the older people in your family and find out as much as you can about when they were young, Draw a family tree and make notes about each person so that you won’t forget.
Learn to swim
Seriously, this is so important that it could save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to do water sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.
Try at least one kind of team sports

Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too－you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.
Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under－18s is collecting things. You could collect rare Chinese stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or emails from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.
Camp out in the garden
If you don’t have your own garden, find a
friend who has one! You will need: two or three friends, a small tent, sleeping

Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects. They want to know how space research helps people on Earth. Actually, space technology helps people on Earth every day. This is called “spinoff technology”. Spinoff technology is space technology that is now used on Earth.
In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions (任务) of the 1960s and 1970s, and in the space shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day. For example, we have Quartz clocks and watches with an accuracy of one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with a water filter (过滤器) designed for the astronauts’ use in space. The cordless, hand－held tools we use in our homes, such as cleaners, flashlights, drills, and irons came from the technology of these early space programs.
On cold winter days, we can stay warm with battery - operated shoes and socks, and insulated (绝缘的) coats and jackets. All of these clothes are similar to the spacesuit designs that keep astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, and are spinoffs from space technology.
These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday life. No one knows how new spinoff technology from the International Space Station will help us in the future.
52. Which of the following is NOT a spinoff?
A. Water filters. B. Quartz watches.
C. Battery- operated socks. D. Spacesuits worn by astronauts.
53. The underlined part “purify the water” probably means “make the water __________”.
A. light B. clean C. bright D. warm
54. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Future of Space Technology B. History of Spinoffs
C. Spinoff Technology D. Space Projects
55. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer __________.
A. believes that space technology will be widely used on Earth
B. doubts if spinoffs have any good effect on human beings
C. agrees to do more research on spinoff technology
D. suggests using more spinoffs in our daily life

International Festival is a rich programme of classical music, theatre, opera

The festival began in 1947 to try to use the arts to encourage “the flowering of the human spirit”.

Korean New Year: Solnal
Koreans celebrate the lunar (农历) New Year, with other East Asia countries. Solnal is a time for families, so Koreans try to return to their family homes. On New Year’s Eve people put things on their walls and doors to protect their families from bad spirits arriving with the New Year. Then on New Year’s Day, people put on traditional clothes and put food on a special table for the dead members of their family.
Then the family sits down for a traditional breakfast of ‘took-guk’ －a thick beef soup with rice cakes and green onions. Everyone must eat in order of ages, and everyone becomes one year older on New Year’s Day.
The rest of the day is for playing, especially for children. Families enjoy activities such as kite -flying, see-saw (跷跷板) and dancing. The New Year is a time for Koreans to celebrate family and tradition.

五、书面表达：
One possible version:
Zhang Li, a friend of my sister’s, wants to be an English teacher when she grows up. Last year she volunteered at a primary school. She taught the kids to sing English songs, read the English books and organized an English club (to hold all kinds of activities). To her joy, she found her spoken English greatly improved. What’s more, she used to be shy (and afraid of speaking English in public). But she is quite outgoing and good at making speeches these days.
In my opinion, she has found a great way of learning English, that is, by using it and helping others. As a volunteer, not only can we experience exciting things but also get a lot. Helping itself is learning.

听短文，记录关键信息，短文读三遍。
Good morning! Boys and girls,
Please be quiet! I’ll tell you something about our school library rules.
First of all, children in Grade 1 are allowed to borrow one book a week. Students in Grade 2 and up are allowed to borrow 2 books a week.
Secondly, books are kept for about a week; however the school is on a 5-day cycle. Books are due on the cycle day. A book borrowed on Day I is due on the next day 1, even if it is not the same day of the week.
Thirdly, our computer system does not allow us to renew books, so they must be returned and checked out again. We ask students to return their books at the beginning of the day with their bookmark or library card inside and sticking out. We will check the book in and put it aside for the student to get when he returns with his class.
Fourthly, there are no fines for students. However students who have an overdue book may not borrow another book.
Finally, if you lose a book, you should pay for it. Since it will probably cost more to replace the book than we originally paid, we will charge you the full replacement cost, including tax and other costs.
If you have any questions, please tell me. Thank you for listening.
