Usually the calendar is made of thirteen pieces of paper (a cover and the calendar for each month) .The pictures in the calendar look very beautiful. But when the year is over and the calendar is no longer useful, they just throw it away. Now some smart calendar makers get a good idea---a shopping bag calendar. This kind of calendar looks no different from other calendars. What makes it different is that it’s not made of paper, but twelve shopping bags. On every shopping bag, there is a calendarfor each month. When one month is over, they can take down that month and use it as a shopping bag. You can find out the date or put things in it. It’s cool and good for the environment.34.When do Chinese people buy a calendar?A. At the end of the new year.B. In the middle of the year.C. At the beginning of the new year.D.

They often invite others face to face or by making phone calls, sometimes they sendmessages or E-mails.When they make an invitation, they often say like this, “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday?”“We are having a party on Friday, can you come?” To answer an invitation, they say “Sure, I’d love to. Thank you”to accept, or “Sorry”and give a reason to turn it down. Anyway, they must reply an invitation in a polite(礼貌的) way. Sometimes what people say is like an invitation but they are not real invitations. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.”“Let’s get together for lunch soon.”They are not real invitations because they don’t talk about the date or time. They just show that person is trying to be friendly. When people hear them, they usually answer “Sure, that would be great.”or “OK, thank you.”So next time you hear what is like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?37.What party is NOT mentioned (提及) in the passage?A. Holiday party.B. Birthday partyC. Dancing partyD.

As there are many programs to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive(上瘾的). Onemay sit and watch TV for hour and hour without stop. They do nothing else but watch TV. These people are called couch-potatoes.In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen that they almost look dead. Everyone is sitting still (安静地) with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they don’t exercise and usually get very fat.
