Films provide more than just fun. For many people, watching foreign language films is a way to develop their language skills. 21  some might meet with difficulties when watching a film. If you are one of them, I'd like to give you some 22 to help you get the most fun out of watching a film in English. 

Choose a film that you 23 .

If you like action films, watch an action film, for example Star Wars. If you like comedies (喜剧), watch a comedy — anything with Hugh Grant (a British actor) in always provides a(n)24 ! It's simple enough. 

Choose something that you are familiar (熟悉的) with.

It's best to25 with something simple. In this way, you can understand the film more26 . Disney films such as The Lion King and Tangled are classic examples. Other cartoons such as Up and The Lego Movie are also enjoyable. 

Ask friends27 advice.

Perhaps your friends have already seen some English films. If so, 28 may be able to tell you what films are interesting. 

If you need to, use the subtitles (字幕).

For beginners, subtitles are very29 . It's OK to use subtitles in your own language. But for stronger learners, why not30 using English subtitles? In this way, you can connect them with the words spoken on the screen, and it can help you develop your language further. 

Have you ever been to Taiwan? Do you want to pay a visit there? We'll show you the best places in Taiwan. Here we'd like to introduce an eight-day tour to you. 

It seems that every time I have car trouble on the road, no one ever stops to see if I'm okay. I always spent hours on the side of the road. But one time, someone did stop to help me. And the words of the man who helped me have had a big influence on my life. 

One of my tires(轮胎) went flat. I had a spare tire but no jack(千斤顶) to lift up the car. I was going to give up when a van (客货两用车) stopped behind my car and someone jumped out. It was an older Mexican man, driving with his family. He didn't speak much English, but his daughter helped to translate（翻译） between us. It was hard work, but he tried to help me put the new tire on. I tried to give him some money for his help, but he kept shaking his head "no" and refusing my money. I secretly gave it to his wife instead. 

After chatting for a few minutes, we went our separate way. But when I got back in my car, I saw my money sitting in the seat. I drove back to the man and gave him the money. He refused one more time, and said to me, "Today you, tomorrow me. " These simple words have encouraged（鼓励） me to help others when I can because you never know when you're going to be the one who needs help. 

The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size. 

Reading people's character from their ears is a very old science. In the past, people thought that a person's ears with color were dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that both the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.

Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes. Are they next to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white color mean that a person has a nervous (神经质) character.

Afteruniversity last summer, I stayed with my mother for a month. During theweek, I noticed that the food was eaten up very . Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. , I found that she would put some food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. Finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend lots of time talking and playing with them. 

When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug(拥抱). I told her she needn't keep to herself. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. were homeless, sleeping on the street. For years, she was helping them by giving them food. After I heard that, I was moved by her. As her son, I so proud of my mum at that time. I should learn from her and help others in need as often as possible.

You need to have healthy eating habits. Breakfast gives you enough energy for the morning. So don't go to school without it. Fruit and vegetables are good for your health, but fast food, like potato chips, will make you fat and unhealthy. Do eat the right food to keep you healthy.

Playing sports can also help you keep fit. However, sometimes accidents can happen, so try to stay safe when you play them. It's necessary for you to learn about first aid(急救). Then you can help yourselves or others if an accident happens.

Happiness is important for your health. It is the best medicine. When you are ill, try to be happy and you'll feel better. On the other hand, you may feel ill if you are always unhappy. So, be happy for us to be healthy.

Finally, you must keep away from smoking and drinking. Many students think it's cool to smoke and drink. But they don't know smoking or drinking can cause（导致） many illnesses. You should say no to smoking and drinking.

Basketball is a much-loved and active sport that is enjoyed by many for fun and exercise. It is over 100 years old and is played by more than 100 million people in over 200 countries. It is believed that the first basketball game in history was played on December 21, 1891. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics（奥林匹克运动会）. 

Basketball was invented(发明) by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was a college teacher, he was asked to think of a game that could be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided（分开） the men in his class into two teams and taught then to play his new game. Players on the same team must work together to get the ball in the other team's basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.
