It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food．Cherie Blair，the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair，said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan
High schools have canteens，which serve everything from noodles to rice，but not burgers and chips．Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls，meat or fish，pickles and vegetables．
The United States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken，lettuce and pickles，fruit and cookies．School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary
allowances(定量)of protein(蛋白質(zhì))，vitamin A．vitamin C，iron，calcium，and calories(卡路里)．
Australia
Meat pies，sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops．But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health，healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．
Many schools have used a traffic light system．The sale of red-labelled foods including pastries，chocolate and soft drinks，is served only twice a week．Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi，sandwiches，corn and watermelon，however are served every day．
In some schools．students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from，including popcorn and rice．
South Africa
Most of South Africa’s schools do not serve meals at all．Classes end at 1：30 pm and students get their own lunches．Many students bring food from home，usually sandwiches．
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students，which has led to a rise in obesity among children．But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases，some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(營養(yǎng))．Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables，such as cabbages，onions，beans，carrots and tomatoes.

Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
● Soap           ● Water          ● Your hands!
WHAT TO DO:
1. Make sure your hands are dry.
2. Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.
3. Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery (滑的).
4. Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.
5. Please write down what has happened.
LET’S TALK!
Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.
DID YOU KNOW?
1. Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.
2. Ancient people made fires by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it.
        ?       
Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not too hot, touch the tires (輪胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.
根據(jù)表格內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
小題1: You’d better make your hands                 to get heat when you rub them.
A．slipperyB．dryC．wetD．smooth
小題2: What does the word “friction” in this text mean in Chinese?
A．摩擦B．冷卻C．膨脹D．震動
小題3:                        is NOT an example of friction.
A．Bike ridingB．Car drivingC．Hands rubbingD．Friction discovering
小題4: What’s the last column (欄目)?
A．THINK IT OVER!B．WHAT HAPPENED?
C．EVERYDAY ACTION:D．WORK WITH PARENTS!
小題5:This text is most probably                         .
A．a(chǎn) science reportB．a(chǎn) car advertisement
C．a(chǎn) rubbing introductionD．a(chǎn) chemistry programme

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!
小題1: The underlined phrase "pick up" in Paragraph 1may mean "_________________".
A．put downB．give upC．pay no attention toD．continue
小題2: From the passage, we can know_________________.
A．Americans are always generous with their time.
B．Americans don’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.
C．Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.
D．Chinese friendships develop faster than American friendships.
小題3:This passage is most probably written for __________________.
A．American studentsB．Chinese students
C．Chinese visitors to AmericaD．American visitors to China
