5. M: You’re quite late, Kitty.

  W: I’m sorry, Mr. Green. My bike was broken on the way, so I had to walk to school. 

  M: That’s all right. Don’t be late next time.

  Q: How did Kitty go to school today?

6. M: Do you know if the museum is still open?

W: Yes, it’s open till six o’clock.

M: Oh, it’s half past five. We must hurry up.

  Q: What is the time now?

7. W: What do you think of the story Yu Gong, Jim?

  M: Many people think the story is encouraging. But I think it’s a little bit silly. He could build a road instead of moving a mountain.

  W: I don’t agree with you. The story shows us that anything is possible if you work hard.

  Q: What is Jim’s opinion about the story?

8. M: Could I go to the concert with my friends, Mom? I have finished my homework.

  W: Of course you can. But you have to clean your room first.

  Q: What does the boy’s mom ask him to do first?

9. M: Excuse me, is it my turn now? I have been waiting for a long time and I was wondering… 

  W: I’m very sorry, sir. I’ll arrange your treatment as soon as possible.

  M: I can’t wait to see the doctor. Please hurry up.

  Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?

10. W: What were you doing when it began to rain, Tom?

   M: I was watching a soccer game with my dad on TV. What about you, Mary?

   W: I was helping my mom make dinner. Do you help with chores at home?

   M: Oh, I often have dinner at home and never do any help on chores.

   Q: What was Mary doing when it began to rain?

Text A

M: Hi, Kate. How’s life in our middle school?

W: Hi, Steven. Pretty good, in fact.

M: Is that what you think? I mean, do you like living here?

W: Yeah, I enjoy living here because there are so many students around and it’s easy to make friends. What about you? Have you ever lived in the apartments of our school before?

M: No, this is the first time.

W: I think you will find it quite comfortable. The library, labs, sports center….

M: That’s true. But I guess living outside is also a good choice. For example, it’s close to the shopping center. You know, our school is far from the town.

W: But you have to get up early to get to school on time. And then going home will take you much time.

M: Yeah, but the food here… It seems it’s the same thing in the dining room every day.

W: Well, I think the food here is OK, and if you want a change, you can eat out once in a while.

Dear Madam,

We joined your Happy Summer Camp, but we are not happy at all. Where are your comfortable rooms? I’m writing this letter in my tent and it’s raining again out here. Water is coming through the tent. Everything is wet. 

Is this a river? How can we swim or fish in the river? It’s so dirty. Even the bottom of the river is full of rubbish. What kind of fish can live in it? What about excellent food? We eat potatoes almost every meal and they are badly cooked. So we aren’t even full enough. Yes, there is a swimming pool and it’s open three times a week. That’s the only thing I can do. There are 20 mountain bikes here. But you see most of them don’t work. Everything is bad here, we can’t stay here any longer.

                                                                     Yours,

                                                                      Jane

Four students were sick these days in Peter’s class. They were Linda, Sam, Sara and Jack. Linda had a sore back. The doctor asked her to stand up and walk more because she sat in front of the TV too long. Sam was running under the hot sun and then he fell down and cut one of his hands. The doctor let him wash the cut and put some medicine on it. And Sara had a bad cold. The doctor said that she was too weak and she should exercise more and eat more healthily. As for Jack, he was just afraid of the exam. The doctor told him not to worry too much. And he should drink some milk and get enough sleep.
