This year, Sichuan schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most junior high schools will begin the first class at about 8:30 a.m.
The students are happy about the change.
Liu Ming told us that his class were excited by the news on the first day of school. “Great! From now on we students at Chengdu No. 4 Middle School don’t have to get up so early!” Liu said that he used to get up at 6:40a.m. Now he can get up at 7:40 a.m because class doesn’t start until 8:40 a.m.
Wu Hongli feels the same. She said the news timetable(时间表) was good for her health. “I used to get up at 6:30a.m. I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework,” said Wu. “Now I can finish it without coffee. Because I can sleep a little longer.”
Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. “Students used to doze(瞌睡) for the first two classes in the morning, “ said Huang Shan, an English teacher at Chengdu No.12 Middle School. “But now they are active in class and learn much better than before.”
But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four.
In fact, every coin has two sides, so does the change in the timetable.
41．This year, most Sichuan junior high schools will start the first class _______.
A. at about 8:30 a.m B. at about 7:40 a.m

45. Which is right according to the text?

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite(礼貌的) in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid(液体) food. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners(礼貌) in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Maxico, however, guests are expected to keep hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider(认为) it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country ? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans. You can ask the native (本土的) people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them .
46．According to the passage, making noises when you have liquid food isn’t bad manners in _______________.

56 us something about.
There was once a king who offered an award（奖）to an artist who could paint the 57 picture of peace. Many 58 tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he 59 liked and he had to choose between them.
One picture was a calm lake. The lake was a perfect(完美的) thing for peace because of the high 60 around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. Anyone 61 saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

Good morning, everyone, welcome to “Let’s Do It” class. What are we going to make today? Look at the 8 points on the paper you are given. Can you imagine what we can make on them? A computer? A butterfly? Let’s do it and see. Listen to me carefully and do as I tell you.
First draw a line between A and B, then another line between B and C. Be careful not to make them too long. Now draw a short line between A and F, then another short line between C and G. This is the first part of its body.
Second, connect F and E, then G and D. But remember not to join F and G. Here comes the last line, the line between E and D. Can you see what it looks like now?
The last step, draw a very small circle around H and colour it black. Now the picture is ready. You can colour it any colour you like. I have a suggestion for you. After you have coloured it, you can cut it off with a pair of scissors and stick it on the wall beside your bed. Isn’t it lovely?

八、I think healthy habits are very important for us. As we know, we must have enough food to keep us healthy. Breakfast is necessary. It is good for us. We must also have the right kind of food. Remember to eat more fruit and vegetables but less junk food. Don’t forget to wash your hands before meals. Staying up late at night is bad for our health. If we can’t get enough sleep, we may have a headache. We should go to bed early and get up early. Of course, it’s necessary for us to take exercise. Exercise will keep us active and strong.
