Hi! My name is Nicholas. I am 12 years old. I am from Liverpool and I live there with my parents and my siblings — Sean, who is 10 years old, and Diana, who’s 4.
Our day starts at 7 o’clock. Everybody gets up and gets ready to leave home at 7:45. I usually take a shower in the evening, so I just have to wash my face, brush my teeth, and put on my school uniform. We all have breakfast at 7:30.
After breakfast, Sean and I catch the bus to school. Classes begin at 8 o’clock. Mom and Dad drive to work after leaving Diana at the kindergarten (幼儿园). My dad is a doctor and my mom is a nurse. They both work at the local hospital.

Were dinosaurs (恐龙) warm-blooded or cold-blooded? According to a new study, scientists have found that they were somewhere in the middle. This new study shows that dinosaurs were very different from most of today’s animals that are either warm or cold-blooded.6
“I think we were all surprised by this,” said Felisa Smith from the University of New Mexico. “The idea certainly took some getting used to.”
The last dinosaurs lived on the earth more than 60 million years ago. However, there is always more to discover about these ancient animals. 【0：21•3•7•网】
A study by a team of scientists led by John M. Grady of the university studied many different kinds of dinosaurs in their research. They looked at growth rate (比率), body temperature and body size of different kinds of dinosaurs.
How are warm-blooded animals different from cold-blooded animals? Warm-blooded animals like humans can control their body temperature. They eat a lot, and burn calories (卡路里) quickly. They have a more active lifestyle than cold-blooded animals. While cold-blooded animals such as snakes do not control their body temperature. Instead, they must use sunlight to keep warm, and they move much more slowly. Cold-blooded animals do not need to eat very much. Their bodies slow down in colder temperatures.
Dinosaurs were in the middle because they didn’t completely control their body temperature, but their body temperature didn’t only depend on the environment either. This helped dinosaurs and allowed them to live for so many years.
Besides dinosaurs, there are other animals that are not completely warm-blooded or cold-blooded, such as great white sharks.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
( )6. According to the new study, ______.
A. dinosaurs were cold-blooded
B. dinosaurs were warm-blooded
C. dinosaurs were not completely warm-blooded or cold-blooded
D. some dinosaurs were warm-blooded and some were cold-blooded
( )7. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that ______.
A. it’s bad news to get the idea
B. it’s good news to get the idea
C. the idea is the same as what scientists predicted
D. the idea is different from what people usually think
( )8. John M. Grady and his team studied many things about different kinds of dinosaurs EXCEPT their ______.
A. body size B. eating habit
C. growth rate D. body temperature
( )9. Warm-blooded animals ______.
① live an active life ② eat a lot
③ need sunlight to keep warm ④ don’t control their body temperature
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③ D. ②④

A. Great white sharks are cold-blooded.

When I was at university, every night there was at least one concert — and sometimes two or three. The UK has a lot of 26 music. It is loud with guitars and drums. So almost every band that played at university was a rock band.
The tickets were very cheap, 27 the venues (演出地点) were small and most bands were not famous. They were just a group of friends who played music part-time. This meant my friends and I could go to see a band whenever 28 wanted to.
The atmosphere (氛围) at a rock concert full of 29 was great. Everyone went pretty crazy. Some students just listened to the band but most students sang 30 the band. It was easy to get close to the band. The room was crowded and 31 . People jumped up and down with the music.
After the concerts, band members and their friends stood outside 32 T-shirts or CDs. After four years of university, half of my clothes were from those 33 .
Many of my friends were also in bands — or wanted to be. Posters on the school notice boards said that bands were 34 new members. Many famous bands started at university by friends who shared the same interest in 35 .

Some movies are unusual stories and the actors need lots of imagination to act. 15-year-old Canadian actress Erin Pitt has been in movies like that. But in her latest movie, Isabelle Dances into the Spotlight, Erin only needed to act herself.
Erin plays Isabelle Palmer, a serious ballet ( 芭蕾舞 ) student and talented designer (设计师). Isabelle goes to a school for kids who are performers (表演者) and artists, and she faces troubles both in dancing classes and outside them. She’s hard on herself and needs to learn to relax.
“This movie is much my life,” says Erin. “I go to a performing arts school. I do ballet. This character is a lot like me.”
Erin studies ballet at a school much like Isabelle’s. And there is an even bigger coincidence. Before Erin played in the movie, she became interested in clothing design and went to a sewing (缝纫) class!
Erin’s years of dance training prepared her for the challenge of dancing in the movie. Not all kids like strict teachers, but Erin does. “They know how good you can be,” she says. “If you have potential (潜质), they can tell, and they will push you. They push you to be the best you can be.”
In the movie, Erin plays a dancer who pushes herself to improve. For her, the movie is an excellent chance to use two of her hobbies in one project. “I have always loved dancing,” says Erin, who started classes at age two. “And I’ve wanted to act since I was seven. When I found out I got this role, I was running around, so excited.” Will there be a moment like that in the movie, too? You’ll have to watch to find out!

When you think about competitions, you probably think of sports such as basketball and football. Not all competitions are sports, though. One example is the Rock Paper Scissors World Championship.
Rock-Paper-Scissors is a simple game that is played between two people. Each player counts to three and then “throws” one hand forward (向前), making one of three gestures (手势). Rock wins against Scissors, Scissors win against Paper, and Paper wins against Rock. Although the game is simple, many players say that they have developed some skills for winning.
Some people might consider the Rock-Paper-Scissors competition to be strange. Around the world, though, people compete in many events that others think are crazy. In England, an unusual competition is organized every year. Hundreds of people run down a hill and run after a huge wheel of cheese. (3)最初，这个比赛是为住在当地村子里的人举办的。 But now people from all over the world come to attend it. In Finland, many people compete in the Air Guitar World Championships. They play guitars that cannot be seen in front of other people.

Good afternoon!
I am lucky to have won the photo competition in our school. First, I’d like to thank my teachers. They encouraged me to enter the competition and also taught me many skills in taking photos. Then, I’d like to thank my uncle. At the age of 1 2, I became interested in taking photos. When I was 13, he gave me a camera as my birthday present. Since then, I have become more and more interested in taking photos.
