Who help you most in your everyday life, families, charities, or friends? Don’t forget about your neighbours! Neighbours help you more than anyone else in your daily life. So it is important to have good neighbours.
What does it take to be a good neighbour? Here is some advice:
Good fences(栅栏) make good neighbours. One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect a person’s privacy(隐私). If you go rushing over as soon as new neighbours move in, they may think you are going to come over at all hours of the day, not respecting their privacy.
It is always a good idea to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood. This can not only put you on good terms(关系和睦) with them, but will also be a kind of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out to work, they will think you respect them. If you are friendly to them, they are much more likely to watch out for anything wrong going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.
Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in their hour of need. If you see that they are in need of a helping hand, it is good to offer your help. They will do the same if you are in trouble.
In a word, if you respect a person’s privacy, treat them kindly and be helpful when you see they are in need, you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door!. Can you r neighbour help you than anyone else in your daily life?

Do you know why different animals or pests（害虫）have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves．
Some birds like eating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them．Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops．When crops are green, locusts look green．But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have．Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others．So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night．
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is protecting themselves．Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests．They cannot be seen by hunters．This is because they have the colours much like the tree．
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger．While the liquid spreads over, the enemies cannot find it．And it immediately swims away．So it has lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all．From the passage we can learn that locusts _______．

What is colour? Why do some of the things around us look red, some green, others blue?
Colours are really made by reflected (反射) light．We see colour because most of the things reflect light．Something is red, for it reflects most of the red light．In the same way, if something is green, it reflects most of the green light．If something reflects all light, it is white．If it doesn’t reflect any light, it is black．
Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in (吸收) and turned into heat．The darker the colour is, the less light is reflected, the more light is taken in．So dark-coloured clothes are warmer in the sun than light-coloured clothes．When something reflects light, we can _______ ．
| A．see its colour |
| B．see its heat |
| C．not see its colour |
| D．see no thing |

Every place offers the possible dangers for getting hurt, even staying at work. We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.
No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.
Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:
【1.If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.
2.Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.
3.Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, “ I should have… How sorry I feel…”
To use an old phrase “ Safety is everyone’s duty.” Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day “ Everyone wants to go home in the same condition they came to work in –or better.”
