A Special Hobby
Many students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables in their gardens, and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are creative. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.
David Smith is a student, and his hobby is writing. During the summer of 2000, he spent four weeks on a summer camp. As well as the usual activities, such as sailing, climbing and mountain biking, there was a writing workshop with a professional writer. \we were in a story. Then we wrote about our experiences at the camp.\
In senior high school David wrote a story about teenage life, and it came out as a book in 2003. Many teenagers love his book, and as a result, David has become a successful young writer. David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him enjoyment and success, but he is also interested in many other things. \some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I'll write more books in the future, but I'm not sure.\
It's sometimes difficult to remember that we shouldn't spend all our time on our favourite hobby. There are many other interesting things to do in life, and we should try to do something new or different. 八下M2 P12
A Beautiful Smile
—Zhang Bei
When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, smiled.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.

That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!
It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

Radio Times
\ \
\
How could I explain? I've always loved the radio. When I was about four or five years old, I remember sitting close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for jobs in small radio stations.
As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father's computer to the listeners, talked about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework.
Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We
prepared the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).
\microphone. He was in another room, behind the glass wall.
\ All radio presenters begin work with the same question. \
\ And this was how my first real job in radio began.

Smile, Please!
If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook.
One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly a snake appeared ... and bit him on the hand.
A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish.
\the fridge. So I closed the door,\
Anyway, Mr Jackson stayed cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn't say what was wrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was.
Then Mr Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day.
\show the photo to the doctors,\photo, don't worry!\
八下M5 P36 Dear Diana，
Do you have a problem? Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine, and ask for her advice. Last week, my friend Da Wei brought a new computer game and asked to play it on my father's computer. But my father has warned me not to use his computer for playing games because he uses it for his job. I can only use it for my homework. He thinks that if I play games on it, it'll go wrong.
Well, my dad was out, so we decided to try Da Wei's game. We copied it onto the computer and when we finished, we took it off the computer. We made quite sure my father didn't notice anything.
But when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. The computer wasn't working because it had a virus!
But I didn't tell him about the computer game.
Now I feel terrible. It's going to be expensive to mend it. Should I tell him about the computer game? Should I offer to pay? Yours,
