For lunch, we had something very special ——
Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious! In the afternoon, we
rode bicycles to Georgetown. There are a lot of new buildings now, but
many of the old buildings are still there. In Weld Quay, a really old
place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from
100 years ago. I wonder what life was like here in the past. I really
enjoyed walking around the town.
Tuesday, July 16th
What a difference a day makes! My father and I decided to go to
Penang Hill today. We wanted to walk up to the top, but then it started
raining a little so we decided to take the train. We waited over an hour
for the train because there were too many people. When we got to the
top, it was raining really hard. We didn't
have an umbrella so we were wet and cold.
It was terrible! And because, of the bad
weather, we couldn't see anything below.

2b Should friends be the same or different? Read about what these people think.
Underline the differences between the friends and circle the similarities.
My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I’m
quieter and more serious than most kids. That’s why I
like reading books and studying harder in class. My
best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying
together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make
friends. But I think friends are like books – you needn’t a lot of them as
long as they’re good.
It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend
Larry is quite different from me. He is taller than
me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better,
so he always wins. I’m getting better, though. As
Larry often says, “My best friend helps to bring out
the best in me.” However, Larry is much less hard – working, so I
always get better grades. Maybe I should help him more.
I don’t really care if my friends are the same as
me or different. My favorite saying is, “ A true
friend reaches for your hand and touches your
heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and
very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I
know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.
We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me
because she’s always there to listen.
2c Are the following statements true (T) or false (F)?
1. Jeff is less serious than most kids.
2. Jeff and Yuan Li are both quiet.
3. Jeff thinks it is easy for him to make friends.
4. Huang Lei is taller than Larry.
5. Huang Lei isn’t as good at tennis as Larry.

6. Larry works harder than Huang Lei.
7. Mary thinks her friends should be the same as her.
8. Carol broke her arm last year and Mary made her feel better.
2d How do you and your friends compare with the people in the article? Write five sentences.
I’m different from Jeff because I’m louder than the other kids in class. My best friend is similar to Larry
because she’s less hard – working than me.

Read the passage below. Which three talent shows are mentioned?
Who's Got Talent?
Everyone is good at something, but some people
are truly talented. It's always interesting to watch
other people show their talents. Talent shows are
getting more and more popular. First, there were
shows like American Idol and America's Got
Talent. Now, there are similar shows around the
world, such as China's Got Talent.
All these shows have one thing in common:
They try to look for the best singers, the most
talented dancers, the most exciting magicians,
the funniest actors and so on. All kinds of people
join these shows. But who can play the piano the
best or sing the most beautifully? That's up to you to decide. When people watch the
show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the winner always gets a
very good prize.
However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of
the performers are made up. For example, people who say they are poor farmers are
in fact just actors. But if you don't take these shows too seriously, they are fun to
watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their
dreams come true.

2b Read the passage and complete the time line on the next page.
When people say “Culture”, we think of art and history. But one very famous
symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse
with two large round ears---Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in
the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on
November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind
Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he
made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main
reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any
danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as
losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best.
People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be
like Mickey.

On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. People today expect to see more than just a little
mouse fighting bad guys, but many still know who he is. Who has a pair of ears
more famous than Mickey’s?

Mouse

Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot?
When we watch movie about the future, we
sometimes see robots. They are usually just like
human Servants. They help with the housework and
do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.
Today there are already robots working in factories. For example, they can help to
build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again Fewer people will do such
jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
Some scientists believed that there will be more robots in the future. However, they
agree it may take hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots look
like humans and do the same things as us. Some robots in Japan can even walk and
dance. These films of robots are fun to watch. But scientist James White thinks that
it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person. For example, it is
easy for children to wake up and know where they are. Mr. White thinks that robots
won't be able to do this. But some scientists disagree. They think that robots will
even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
New robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others
might look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, snake robots will
be able to help look for people under the buildings. That may not seem possible now,
but computers and rockets seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what
will happen in the future!

Students these days often have a lot of worries Sometimes they have
problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.
What can they do about this? Same people believe the worst thing is to
do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “Problems
and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to
someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we'll certainly feel
worse.”
Laura once lost her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even
walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking, “If I
tell my parents, they’ll be angry?” In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really
understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet
and asked her to be mere careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura
says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not
to run away from our problems. We should always try to salve them.” He thinks the first step is to find
someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself. Students often
forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to
help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you're halfway to
solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!
2c Read the passage again and answer the questions. Discuss your answers with a partner.
1. What is the worst thing to do if you have a problem?
2. Why didn't Laura want to tell her parents about her lost wallet?
3. What is the first thing you should do when you want to sole a problem?
4. Why can our parents give us good advice abut our problems?
