Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?
Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers”, and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets”, and even “houses”.
Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
Harold： I don’t quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.
Allan：I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.
Laura：You know, people in the city are longing for the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure. Besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”.
Ivy：Well, it’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they cannot focus on their study.

In the UK, most children have lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner—a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want, Cathy, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said. “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinners? Katz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews(炖肉) and curries for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, “We used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There is a salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those smart students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any more. They become dropouts(退学者).
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they don’t help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekeds—they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful(有害的) to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
How are Japanese students nowadays?
A、They work hard and all of them are happy.
B、Parents give them heavy pressures.
C、Parents can offer a lot of help to their children.
The meaning of the underlined word “gifted” in Para 1 means.
A、愚蠢 B、聪明 C、努力
According to the passage, it’s necessary to teach students.
A、to show love and care for others
B、how to study better than before
C、how to follow the school rules
Which of the following is NOT true?
A、Parents in Japan wish their children to make a great life in the future.
B、Parents in Japan think it’s the teachers’ job to educate children.
C、Only strict rules are helpful for students.
In Japanese schools, .
A、most of the students become dropouts

Chinese writer Mo Yan has won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, announced Peter, the Secretary of the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday. The awarding ceremony will be held on December 10. The winner will win a medal, a personal diploma (证书)and a cash award of 8 million Swedish Kronor (about 1 million U.S. dollars).
Mo Yan was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in Shandong province in eastern China. As a 12-year-old during that very unordinary time, he left school to work, first as a farmer like his parents, later as a worker in a factory. He didn’t begin to study literature or write until he joined the People's Liberation Army in 1976. His first short story was published in 1981. In his writing, Mo Yan draws the readers’ attention to his youthful experiences and the cultures in the province of his birth. His novel Hong Gaoliang Jiazu (1987, in English Red Sorghum 1993), which consists of five stories was successfully filmed in 1987, directed by famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou. In addition to his novels, Mo Yan has published many short stories and essays on many different topics. Dozens of his stories have been translated into English, French , Japanese and many other languages.

Dear Mr. Heppell,
I am Sabrina Akhtar studying in a high school and I’ve noticed that forests are disappearing.
You know, forests are disappearing around the world each year because of many different reasons including farming, tourism, pollution, etc. If we stop doing these things, there will be a good future for people of tomorrow.
Now I’m writing to ask you to help stop forests from disappearing. You can help by getting shops to stop selling paper made from trees and by persuading people not to use tree-free paper (paper not made from trees). This will help forests so much. There are many, many things we can do to help forests. If you would like to know more, please visit http://www. Rainforestweb. Org/.
By changing the little things, we can make a big difference.
If you would like to contact（联系）me, please see the above address or e-mail me at shazadinol @ hotmail.co.uk. Thank you for taking your time in reading this letter.
Yours sincerely,
Sabrina Akhtar
