in ten years, I think I will become a reporter. I will live in Shanghai because I went to Shanghai last year and fell in love with the city immediately. Shanghai is really a beautiful city. As a reporter, I think I will meet many interesting people. I think I will live in an apartment with my best friend, because I don't want to live alone. I will keep a pet because my mother hates pets and the apartment is too small. So I don't have any pets now. In ten years, I will have many different pets. I may even have a parrot! I may go skating and swimming every day. On weekdays, I dress smart every day and maybe wear a suit. On weekends, I dress more casually. I think I will go to Hong Kong for my holiday, and even visit Australia one day.
1.p8 UNIT 1 3a:Do you think you will have your own robot?
do you think you will have your own robot?
In some sci-fi movies, people in the future all have their own robots. These robots are just like humans. They help people do housework and most boring jobs.
Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future. However, it will take hundreds of years for their supporters to become a reality. Scientists are trying to develop robots that look like humans and can do the same work as us. Some Japanese companies have made robots that can walk and dance. This kind of robot looks very interesting.
But James White, a scientist who studies robots, doesn't agree with this view. He thinks it is very difficult to make robots do things like humans. For example, it is easy for a child to wake up and know where he is. White thinks that robots can't do this. But other scientists don't agree. They think that in the next 25 to 3 years, robots will be able to talk to humans.
Scientists who study robots are not just trying to make robots look like humans. For example, there are robots that can work in factories now. These robots look like giant arms. They can repeat simple tasks over and over again. Humans don't like doing this kind of work and get bored easily. But robots never get tired.
In the future, there will be more robots everywhere, and there will be less work for human beings. The new robot will have many different shapes. Some look like humans, others may look like snakes. After the earthquake, a snake-shaped robot can help find people buried under buildings. This seems impossible now, but a hundred years ago, computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes were regarded as impossible. We can never know what will happen in the future!

2. p16 unit 23a: May you should learn to relax!
maybe you should learn to relax!
Cathy Taylor's three children have a very busy life. Their school days are busy enough. After school, though, Cathy took two boys from football to basketball. At that time, she had to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired child didn't come home until 7 pm. They have a quick dinner, and it is time for homework.
Taylor is like many American and British parents. They take their children from activities to activities and try to fit into their children's lives as much as possible. Doctors say many children are under a lot of pressure. Teachers complain about children who are tired of teaching in the classroom.
most children join clubs for further education. Activities include sports, language learning, music, and mathematics. Aggressive parents have nothing new, but parents seem to push their children a lot more now. Parents see other children who do many things, and they feel that their own children should do the same.
Linda Miller, a mother in London III, knows all about this pressure."In some families, when they are very young, they send their children to various classes from the very young age,"she says."Mothers' competition star. At the same time, they always compare them with other children. It's crazy. People shouldn't push their children so hard.
Dr. Alice in green agrees. She also said that when they older."Parents, these children may find it difficult to think for themselves and try to plan their children's lives for them. When these children are adults, they may find it difficult to plan things because themselves."Parents should learn to give their children a little more time for themselves. On the one hand, children need to organize activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.

Dear Jack:
I had a very unusual experience on Sunday. At about 1 am, I was walking in the street and a UFO landed in front of me. You can imagine how strange it was! An alien came out and walked along the center street. I followed it to see where it was going. I was surprised when it entered a gift shop. While it was looking at the gifts, the shop assistant called the police. Before the police arrived, the alien had left the shop to visit the Space Museum. While the alien was in the museum, I called the TV station. That was amazing!

3. p24 UNIT 3 3a: Do you remember what you were doing ?
do you remember what you were doing?
People can always recall what they were doing when an important event happened in history. For example, many contemporary people in the United States can clearly recall what they were doing on April 4, 1968, a decisive day in modern American history. On this gloomy day, Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis. Maybe people won't remember who killed Dr. Martin. They know what they were doing.
Even some daily life events will be very important. Robert Allen was over 4 years old. He was still a student when he heard the bad news. "It was an endless and sunny day," he recalled. "When the bell rang, we were playing in the playground. Our teacher told us to stop playing. He choked. Dr. Martin left us forever 1 minutes ago. We couldn't believe it."
thirty years have passed since the death of Dr. Martin, when many contemporary people were not yet born. However, more recently, most Americans clearly knew what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was destroyed by terrorists. Even this date-September 11, 21-occupies an important position in the hearts of many Americans.
Not all historical events are bad. Many Americans still remember what they did when man first set foot on the moon on June 2th, 1969. Far away, just look at a few years ago. Countless people in China remember what they were doing when Yang Liwei, a young man from China, became the first astronaut in China. Yang took off on October 15, 23 and returned after circling the earth for 22 hours. When he returned to his mother's arms, he was regarded as a national hero and famous all over the world! !

How are things recently? I hope grandpa is well now. I'm sorry to hear that he caught a cold last week. I hope you are all in good health. Everything is fine here. I took the final exam last week and got my report card today.
I always get nervous when I see the envelopr from school in the mail, But lucky I did ok this time. I had a really hard time with science this tester, and I sasn't surprised to find that my worst report was from my science teacher.
I always feel so nervous when I see letters sent by my school in my mailbox. Fortunately, I did a good job this time. This semester's natural science course is really difficult for me, so I'm not surprised that the teacher of this course gave me the worst evaluation of all subjects.
She said I was lazy, which isn't true.It's just that I find science really difficult.Another disappointing result was in history.My history teacher said I could do better.T He good news is that my math teacher said I was hard-working. and my Spanish teacher said my listening was good.
The natural science teacher said I was lazy, but this is not true. I really
