In the world today, all of the people need recreation（消遣）. We can not work all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life.
Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular form is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and football. There are also individual（個人的） sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation for people who like to be outdoor（室外的）.
Not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them. Many people like watching them on TV or listening to them on the radio. So many people like some forms of indoor recreation, such as watching TV, singing and dancing.
It doesn’t matter whether we like indoor recreation or take part in outdoor sports. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time, and enjoy some forms of recreation.
【小題1】 Which is the most popular form of recreation?

Dear Vincent,
I’m a middle school student in Zhejiang , China. My English teacher , Ms.Li gave me your name and address. I want to be your pen friend.
English is my favourite subject.That’s why I want to practise English with an American student. I also like art. It’s so interesting and useful.I like history, too. Our history teacher always tells us a lot of interesting historical stories. We all have a good time in history classes.
In my free time, I enjoy playing computer games . It’s exciting and fun. Do you like it ? I also like to go to the movies. I saw Harry Potter and the DeathlyHallows:Part 1 yesterday. It was a great film.But I don’t like sports, so I never enjoy P.E.classes.
How about you? What subjects do you like? What do you look like? What do you want to do when you get older? I hope I can get your letter soon!
Yours,
Zhao Gang

I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an airhostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learned that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly(被徹底搜查). Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.

When you come to Japan, you need to learn some rules for eating. They aren't difficult to learn.
If you eat something with the Japanese, you can hear them say "itadaki-masu". This is to show thanks for the food they eat and to the person who made the food. You can also hear the Japanese say "gochiso-sama" when they finish eating. This is also to show thanks and to say the dishes (菜) are good. They start to eat only when everybody is seated (就座) at the table. They usually have a conversation at meals, but they don't speak while they are eating.
Remember the rules and they can help you. You should also remember that it's good to eat every dish.
