The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some cards cost up to ￡4,000.The first Japanese card has a value of about ￡28,000. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine.

What’s the most popular school activity among American students? The  【小題1】 is the school dance. Most American high schools have at least two dances  【小題2】 the year, one in winter and the other in spring. Students attend these events 【小題3】 it’s a great opportunity for them to meet  【小題4】 friends.
At the dance, there will be snacks and photo booths (機(jī)器拍照亭), as well as strict（嚴(yán)格的） rules to  【小題5】  create a healthy and enjoyable evening for all students. And all the dancers will be given a security check（安檢）before they come into the dance  【小題6】 . This is acceptable. But some rules may be a little bit over the top（過分).

You’d  【小題9】 not break the rules because you’ll be asked to leave there, or even worse, be placed on a do not invite list.

Believe it or not: the more TV you watch, the  78  (little) happiness you get. This is the result of a new study. It shows that unhappy people watch more TV than happy people.
Well, you may say that you enjoy  79  (watch ) TV. In fact, TV gives you happiness for a short time, but unhappiness for a long time.
Why? It is because, if you watch TV, you cannot take part in many other good  80  (activity). And sometimes, if you are unhappy, you  81  (usual) prefer being a couch potato(整天坐在沙發(fā)上看電視的人)，right? Watching TV is relaxing to you.
Then if you want to be happy, what should you do? You can read newspapers, visit  82  (you) friends, go to parties, … but don’t watch television all the time. Now turn off the TV, and take a walk outside. It’s the  83  (one) step to being happy!

What is it like being an actor? Many people think it must be wonderful because we travel to exciting places, wear beautiful clothes and (A)掙錢多. This is only one aspect(方面) of our lives though. We also work very hard.
I played a country girl in my last (B) movie. I had to live in a small village with the other actors for part of the winter. (C)It was really hard for me as I grew up in a city. To help me play a country girl better, I cooked for myself and the others every day. I even walked a few miles sometimes to get water, as there was none in the houses. I wanted to understand how a real village girl lived. I thought it was fun at first. I felt different after a week or two, though.
I did wear some beautiful traditional clothes, but they were not thick enough. I was very cold but I had to keep smiling all the time! One day, I couldn’t do it any longer and I suddenly (D) started crying, “Great!” said the director. “I like it. She is crying with true feelings!” I called my mum to tell (E) Her about it but my mobile phone (手機(jī)) wouldn’t work in the village.
I think it is worth doing all this, though. I like it when people tell me they enjoy my plays and ask me to sign a picture. It is also fun to be someone else for a while. I’m very lucky to be an actor.

A young girl sits at her desk, reviewing her homework for the evening. English: Read three chapters and write a report. Math: Complete 30 problems. Science: Do a worksheet, front and back. French: (A) Study new words for tomorrow’s test. It’s going to be a long night.
This happens to students in America. Now it’s time to start a homework revolution(變革).
Do students in the United States receive too much homework? According to the National Education Association, a student should be assigned (布置) no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night. For example, a first grader should only have 10 minutes of homework, a (B)  grader, 20 minutes, and so on. This means that a student in my grade—seventh—should have no more than 70 minutes of work (C) each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even worse!
It’s no good giving students too much homework. According to research, kids are developing more illness at school, such as stomachaches, headaches and sleep problems than before.
Everybody (D)  that teachers are the ones who assign homework, but they are not the only ones to blame (受責(zé)備). “Many teachers are under greater pressure (壓力) than ever before,” says Kylene Beers, President of the National Council for teachers of English, “Some of  (E) it comes from parents, some from the wish for high scores on tests.” Teachers who are under pressure feel the need to assign more homework.
Some people have different ideas, saying that homework prepares kids for doing better in high school, better in college, and (F) 今后找到更好的工作. But too much homework is sapping students’ strength, curiosity（削弱學(xué)生的個性和好奇心), and most importantly, their love of learning, is that really what teachers and parents want?
