What would you do if a stranger gave you some medicine and it would keep you slim or help you do well in exams? Would you take it?

Students at Shenzhen Luohu Foreign Language Middle School have learned to keep themselves safe by saying “no”. In fact, what those strangers want to give them are drugs (毒品) . Drugs are dangerous to your health!

“Because teens don’t know much about drugs, they might want to try them,” said Zhang Dongsheng, the director of Shenzhen Drug Control Office.

Now, many schools arrange courses or organize some activities to help students know about drugs.

Liang, 16, was a good student before trying drugs. One day, some old friends told him it would be fun. After taking drugs only once, he found it very hard to stop. Liang began to spend all his time and money on drugs. Soon, he stopped going to school and started stealing. In the end, he was put in prison（坐牢）.

In China, taking drugs is becoming a big problem for teens. According to a survey, about one million people in China were using illegal(非法的) drugs last year, and 72% of them were young people. Worse still, there are about10,000 drug users under 16 now.

Zhang has some good advice on staying clean. He said, “Drugs are dangerous. Never try them, even if you’re curious! It is the most important for you to keep safe and healthy.”

1. According to this passage, drugs can __________ .

A. do harm to your health　　　　 B. help you do well in exams

C. keep you slim and lovely　　　 D. make you stay well

2. From Liang’s story, we can know that it’s _________ to give up drugs even if one tries only once.

A. easy　　　　　　　　 B. hard

C. foolish　　　　　　 D. possible

3. According to a survey, about _______ young people in China were using illegal drugs last year.

A. 1,000,000　　　　　 B. 100,000

C. 10,000　　　　　　 D. 720,000

4.What does the phrase “staying clean” here mean?

A. Being clean.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Keeping clothes clean.

C. Staying away from drugs.　　　　 D. Wearing clean clothes.

What is colour? Why do some of the things around us look red, some green, others blue? Colours are really made by reflected(反射) light.

We see colours because most of the things reflect light. Something is red, for it reflects most of the red light. In the same way, if something is green it reflects most of the green light. If something reflects all light, it is white.

Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in(吸收) and turned into heat(热能). The darker the colour is, the less light is reflected, the more light is taken in. so dark-coloured clothes are warmer in the sun than light-coloured clothes.

1.When something reflects light, we can _______________

A. see its colour　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. see its heat

C. not see its colour　　　　 　　　　　　　　 D. see nothing

2.Something looks white because it reflects_____________.

A. some light　　　　　 B. no light

C. all light　　　　　　 D. most light

3.The dark-coloured clothes are warm because ___________is taken in.

A. more light　　　 B. less light

C. more colour　　　 D. less colour

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.

We know that there are too many Net bars（网吧）around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them right away. It can help us keep in touch with people from all over the world.

But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.

At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.

That’s all! Thank you.
