After more than a century the Games returned to its hometown.When people hold the Olympic Games, they always make an emblem（会徽）.The emblem of the Athens Olympic Games was a white circle of olive branches in the sky.Now Athens is developing a spirit of peace. An officer said, “While in Athens, the world should be at peace. We hope the peace is not just for a short time. We would like the message from the Athens Game to help countri es come together and solve their problems.”Several years later, the Olympic Games will be held in China. And China already made a seal as the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The emblem has a single Chinese Character on a red seal and means “Chinese seal---dancing Beijing.” Below it, there are the words “Beijing 2008”. The character in the emblem “jing” means “capital” of China, and it is also like a runner or a dancer.

There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed （种子）and take care of it to make it grow.First you should choose a friend .What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy .You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights .What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an hone st talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.There are three steps to being friends again:Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that .Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.49.

Everyone must go to school at least 9 years. Well, we have learned English for years…and you still can’t understand a word of it….that’s really funny,” Peter shouted when he ran away from his friend.When Jim caught up with him, he said, “I think it is a long time really, when you think about it.”“Mm….Hey, you haven’t forgotten your math homework this time?”“I did it last night,” Jim answered, when they came to the school gate. “It was difficult, wasn’t it? I sometimes think that all this homework is not good for our brain… We need a rest from all this studying.”“I really can’t agree with you,” Peter said, “studying is good for you; and school isn’t only about studying. We learn lots of other useful things, and at school we can develop our interests.”“You’re right,” Jim agreed. “I wasn’t very interested in playing basketball until I joined the school team.”“So you see, it seems like a long time and a lot of work sometimes, but it help s to make our lives more interesting.”“Now you speak just like my father; you should be a ‘teacher’ at this school, not a student,” Jim joked when the bell rang.53.

They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music.“Facts suggest that exercise improve the leaning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well-being. It helps reduce stress, sadness and nervousness, encourage relaxation or sleep ; wakes up the body and improve memory and thought.In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before and after opera tion. “The Four Seasons” was used because of its moderate tempo（舒缓的节拍）and positive results in earlier research. “ Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system （神经系统）and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability,” Emery s aid.Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 1990, psychologists were using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders. Mozart’s was chosen because his musi c is not over-exciting and has clear structures. A study showed students who listened to Mozart went to score higher marks in an intelligence test .With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music .But now you have good reasons to argue with them.58.
