6．Once my father and I went to see a circus （马戏团）．A family was standing in front of us  （51）Afor tickets．The family had eight children．Their clothes were not （52）D but they were clean．They were talking about the clowns（小丑）and elephants excitedly．

The ticke t lady spoke again．The father looked sad．Clearly，he didn't have （56）Dmoney．My dad took a $20 bill（纸币） and dropped it on the ground．Then he （57）Athe bill，and said to the man，"Sir，this fell out of your pocket．"

5．Imagine the scene：You come home after work feeling too tired to cook-only to find a delicious （66）mealwaiting for you．
It sounds like a dream．However，it could be about to come true thanks to a robot cook（67）inventedby British scientists．They have come up with a set of robotic arms which are able to cook nice food．Perhaps people can （68）buythe device in 2017as a part of high-tech kitchen．Since it seems to be so useful in the future，scientists spent （69）almost18years developing the hands，which are each controlled by 24motors，26micro-controllers and 129sensors （感应器）．
Some people prefer to go to well-known restaurants，（70）butthey are not cheap and may be quite far from the home．It is a chance for people to enjoy very good food cooked by robots at a suitable （71）price．The only dish that is off the robot's menu at the moment is sushi，which （72）requires nimble （灵活的） fingers to make，but the team plan to solve this problem as well by the time it goes to the（73）market．
Users will be able to‘order'dinner on their way home，or breakfast for next morning when they （74）wakeup．They can use an app on their smartphone．Picking menus depends on the ingredients （配料） they have．They will also be able to （75）choosedishes based on personal needs．
And just in case，the unit has emergency equipment if there's a fire．

4．    As teenagers，changing the world does not only mean finding a cure for cancer，or finding the origin of humanity，but recycling a piece of paper as well．Going Green is a practical way that teenagers can have a real and meaningful influence in the world．What follows are three simple ways teenagers can go green and change the world．
Recycle
   According to a Wire & Twine online article，63million newspapers go out to street vendors （摊贩），local paper boys，or newspaper dispensers every day and of those 44million are thrown away．Recycling the Sunday newspapers alone we could save half a million trees a week．The age of technology creates new phones，iPods，or new computers．Many people will stand in line for hours to get their hands on the new piece of technology，but what happens with the old ones？Nothing．According to Earth911，about 75% of the old devices （设备） are thrown in the back of a drawer collecting dust．
Go vegetarian （素食主义） one day a week
   Here are some amazing facts on going vegetarian for only one day．According to Noam Mohr，a physicist at the New York University，the United States would save 100billion gallons of water which is enough to offer all homes in New England for about 4months．The Environmental Defense concludes with the most interesting fact：if the whole population gives up one meal of chicken，the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated （累积的） would be the same amount if more than half a million cars were taken off U．S．roads．So giving up just one day of eating meat is worth the advantages it could bring．
Don't drink too much bottled water
   There is a common idea that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water．However，25% of bottled water comes from regular tap water which goes through a filter （过滤）．Bottled water companies do not need to list where they got the water from，how they clean the water，or what chemicals their plastic water bottles have．Plastic bottles do not get recycled 90% of the time which results in 1.5million tons of plastic in landfills which are not easy to decompose （分解）．In fact，after considering that bottled water and tap water have few differences，people should use more reusable water bottles．"
   Just keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said，"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful and committed （坚定的） citizens can change the world．Indeed，it's the only thing that ever has．"

Topic	How teenagers can go green
Definition	Going green is a practical way which teenagers can make a （56）difference to the world．It is really meaningful．
（57）Waysto go green	Recycle	•Unluckily，only about （58）nineteenmillion newspapers are really in use every day． •People usually （59）throwmost of the old devices in the back of a drawer．
	Go vegetarian	•All homes in New England use about 100billion gallons of water in four （60）months． •The Environmental Defense concludes that it should be worthy for people to （61）stop eating meat just one day a week．
	Drink （62）lessbottled water	•Most of plastic bottles do not get recycled and it produces millions of tons of plastic which are （63）hardto decompose． •In fact，it's better for people to （64）usemore reusable water bottles．
Conclusion	Just（65）rememberthe words said by Margaret Mead that thoughtful and committed citizens can change the world．

20．November 21is World Hello Day．At school，we learned that"How do you do？"and"How are you？"are standard ways to say hello when meeting others．But do you know how to reply to them？Nowadays，do native speakers seldom use them today？
As we learned，"How do you do？"is for greeting someone we meet for the （66）firsttime．And it can be answered with the same"How do you do？"．"How are you？"is often used to greet someone we （67）know well．It usually follows with an answer of"I'm good，and you？"or"I'm fine，and you？"．
But English is a casual （随意的） language．The formal"How do you do？"is rarely said by native speakers．It is considered old-fashioned．Yet they greet each other in （68）many other ways．
You may hear a conversation （69）between British people："You all right？""Yeah，you？""I'm good．Any plans for the weekend？"or"How's it going？""Yea，fine，and you？"．These ways of greeting are （70）popular for young people to say hello to friends．
Americans like saying，"What's up？"or"What's good？"to friends．Don't be confused （混淆的）．It doesn't （71）mean"What's wrong？"．It is just one way of saying hello．And people usually give answers like"Not much"or"Nothing"．"Hey，man"is also popular．But it is only used among men．What do （72）womensay？You guessed it．They often say"Hey，girl．"
If you meet an Australian，you may （73）hear"G'day，mate"．It means"Good day"．You can reply with the same"G'day"．
However，there is no rule to say hello to each other．If you can't 74remember all of the above，just say"How are you？"．This is the most （75）commonand standard way for people of all ages．You can reply with"pretty good"，"same as usual"or"I'm hanging in there．"
