        　　When I was a boy, I had to walk six kilometres to school. There was no other way of getting there.
        　　At home we didn’t have a television, so we had to make our own entertainment(娱乐). I spent all my free time outside playing football.
        　　But we couldn’t play football on Sundays because we had to go to church.
        　　I left school when I was fourteen and went to work in a bakery.
        　　Martin, the son, 44 years old
        　　When I was growing up, my father was always at work. When he came home, we couldn’t disturb him because he was tired.
        　　Because my father left school very early and felt sorry for it later, he wanted me to do well at school. I had to show him my homework every night and I could only watch television at the weekend.
        　　When I was eighteen, I got a place at university. My patents didn’t have to pay for my study because the government did.
        　　I didn’t go home very often, even during the holidays. I preferred to spend time travelling around.

        　　I’ve always had a very close relationship with my dad and I don’t have to hide anything from him.
        　　When I was at school, I had a lot of freedom. When I went out, I didn’t have to come home at a certain time — my parents believed in me.
        　　I’m at college now, and my parents have to pay for my studies, but I have to work in the evenings to pay for any additional(额外) entertainment and expensive things I want.
        　　I think it’s wrong that my parents have to pay for my studies. I think colleges and universities should be free for everybody.

        　　( )2. George lived six kilometres away from school, so he went there by bike.
        　　( )3. Martin watched TV every night after he had finished his homework.
        　　( )4. Brian has to pay for his studies at college himself, so he needs to work in the evenings.

        　　Mary Donaldson is worried about her 16-year-old daughter, Sophia. Six months ago, Sophia came back from a party, upset and unhappy. From then on, she thinks of nothing but how to lose weight and become beautiful. She refuses to eat and keeps on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet, Mary encouraged her. She felt that her daughter would look more attractive if she lost 10 kilograms. However, Sophia has lost over 20 kilograms until now. Her eating and exercising habits are having a harmful effect on her health. She is too thin and is often sick.
        　　Her mother is trying to prevent her from going on a diet and losing weight, but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to start eating as usual. Sophia’s mind is full of the idea of looking like a model(模特). Every day she goes to a club to do exercise. When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like Fashion & Beauty(《时尚与美》). The models in these magazines are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says, “If I look like these models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”
        　　Mary doesn’t know how to help her daughter. She feels sorry for having encouraged her at first, because Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body. She’s afraid that Sophia will never be happy if she keeps comparing herself with the
        　　models in the magazines. Mary tries to tell Sophia that true beauty comes from within. Common people are not supposed to look like models. The most ordinary face becomes beautiful when the person behind it is filled with confidence(自信), wisdom and the joy of life.

        　　Thank you very much for inviting me to your party. I am very sorry, but I can't come. My mother is ill. The doctor has told her that she should stay in bed for several days. I'll take care of my mother. Thank you very much for sending me such a beautiful postcard. I like it very much. I am going to put it on my desk.

        　　B Dear headmasters, teachers, classmates and friends:
        　　I’m very proud that I have chosen to speak to you all today, I’m a bit(=a little) nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people ,so please forgive me if it shows.
        　　As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. .But what can we do? How to protect our environment? For example, we can go to school on foot or by bike. we can use shopping baskets not plastic bags when we go shopping and we can use both sides of the paper when we write . In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment , there will be less pollution and our lives will
        　　be better.
        　　“There is only one earth”,I hope everyone will protect our environment well. Thanks!
