Hi, Janice,
It's been a month since I came to this new school and I really want share with you some of the problems I have been experiencing.
As I tell you last time, I made three new friend here. We hang out together during lunch and after school. We've been spending a lot of time sing in karaoke bars. It's been three Saturdays now and it really costs me many. And I started to see this as a time—wasting activity! In fact ,I don’t like to go anymore, so I’m afraid I’ll lose their friendship. How do you think I should do? If you are me ,would you talk to him?
Please help with me and give me some advice.

The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who _______ that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this ______ girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s _____ were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different. “And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n)_ ____ award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students _____ them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw _______ well?” Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ _______ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a _____ ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!” Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried. I _____ , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never ______ anything in her whole life. Everyone started to _____ their hands.

This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.
The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately（精确地） record not only know far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes(最大化)their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers(纤维) that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.
The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.
Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”
Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around ￡120, which will go on sale in March.
1.What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to?
A. People who are disabled.
B. People who invented the socks.
C. People who are not good at dancing.
D. People who are interested in dancing.
2.What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of ?
A. They can monitor the movement of feet.
B. They feel much softer than normal clothes.
C. They are expensive to produce.
D. They act as a smart phone for users.
3.According to Dr Vigano, _____
A. 60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socks.
B. users can run as fast as they like with the socks.
C. everyone can make good use of the smart socks.
D. no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks.
China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied（陪伴） my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
1.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
B. Because they are traditional and safe.
C. Because they are colorful and available.
D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.
2.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended__________.
A. to ride it for fun
B. to experience local culture
C. to use it for transport
D. to improve his riding skills
3.How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A. It was boring. B. It was wonderful.
C. It was lively. D. It was difficult.
4.Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?
A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B. The author took great pleasure in biking.
C. The author was praised by the other bikers.
D. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
