 Dear George, I"m fourteen and I"m much shorter for my age. What"s worse, I"m very fat. I want to be 55 kg and to be taller and then I can go to the school basketball team and enjoy myself. Can you help me? Bob |  Dear George, I"m learning French but I don"t get good marks. I don"t know why. Sometimes I want to give up, but I know I shouldn"t because languages are going to be very important. What should I do? Alice |
| Dear Bob, Don"t worry if you"re shorter than your friends. Teenagers grow at different times. It doesn"t matter how heavy you are. You are still the same person. Plan your meals with your mum, and she can help you lose weight. Also, try taking more exercise. George | Dear Alice, You"re right. You should never give up, and I"m sure that you"ve made more progress than you think. You can talk to your teacher and ask her what you should do to get a better grade. Talk to your friends who are good at French. Find something that helps you. George |

| We wanted to study how students at our school spend money. In order to study this, we made some questions to ask our classmates. First, we asked our classmates how much money they spent in one month. Then we asked how much money they spent for things like drinks, music, books, movies, computer games, and other things. Our math teacher helped us make a graph of our classmates" answers. Then we thought it would be interesting to compare these answers with our classmates" expenses from last year. We used their answers to make another graph for their expenses last year. Looking at the two graphs, it is easy to compare the expenses for the two years. Some of their expenses increased, but others decreased. This was a very interesting project for us. 注：(1) graph 图表 (2) expense 消耗, 消费  | |

| There are many different kinds of communities around the world. Communities can be urban (in a city), suburban (near a city), or rural (in the countryside, far from a city). Urban communities usually have many neighborhoods, where people often live close together in apartment buildings or small houses. Streets in these neighborhoods often have lots of people and many stores and businesses. People in urban neighborhoods often walk or take public transportation to get to places. In suburban communities, people live in separate houses. Stores and businesses are not usually nearby, and people often have to drive to get there. Some suburban communities have public transportation, and others don"t. In rural communities, people often live far from each other, not in neighborhoods. There isn"t usually any public transportation, and people have to drive everywhere. Whether in urban, suburban, or rural areas, some communities are friendly, and others aren"t. For example, in some communities, people know their neighbors, they help each other, and their children play together all the time. In other communities, people sometimes don"t even know their neighbors" names. In the old days, most people around the world lived in small towns and villages, where they knew their neighbors.

| Once I went shopping on my first visit to Macao. 1 from cold and cloudy England, I enjoyed the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a 2 skirt. Not having much 3 to enjoy the sun in England, my legs were very white. In England this is not a fashionable (时髦的) look at 4 . Most women spend every 5 day out trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin, the better the look. I have tried to get darker but 6 works for me! As I 7 around one shop the two shop assistants kept looking at my legs the whole 8 , talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel 9 and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was 10 . I complained about the shop assistants being very 11 . They must be talking about my white skin. My friend laughed." They weren"t laughing at you. They were saying how 12 your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. 13 , there are many beauty products (美容产品) in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them." It just shows that we are never 14 with what we have. The grass is always greener on the other side. If the women of the West and East 15 the same way, Western women wouldn"t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn"t need to use cream that makes skin whiter. | |
