1、   What is the most important thing in the world? In my opinion, it is health. You can take away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, but we can still keep alive. But if our health is taken away, we will surely die. 1. That is why we always try our best to eat healthily and often do exercise. Doing exercise every day helps us build a strong body. We can’t study and work well without a healthy body. Doing exercise can help us study or work better. More and more people do exercise to keep healthy. We can do exercise whenever we want. As for students, 2.他们可以在体育课上进行各种各样的运动，比如跑步，跳跃和打篮球等等。

What’s more, I think friends are an important part of one’s life. 3. I always feel better when I am with friends. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. When I am sad, I can also share my problems with my friends. As the saying goes, “A friend is easier lost than found.” We should value the time we spend with our friends.

All in all, by eating healthily and doing exercise, we can keep our body healthy. 4.通过和朋友相处，我们可以保持心灵健康。Physical and mental (身心) health are both important for us. 5. The more we care about our health, the better our lives will be.

21、Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do

you know it is far from elegant（优雅的）English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.

“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know he should say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.

【1】What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?

A. He doesn’t think it means water closet.

B. He doesn’t think it old-fashioned English.

C. He doesn’t think it proper for a sign.

D. He thinks it elegant English.

【2】The underlined word “rarely” means ________.

A. sometimes B. seldom C. often D. always

【3】Charlie Shifflet ___________.

A. is a Chinese living in America

B. thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect English

C. likes to hear or see Chinglish

D. sometimes uses Chinglish

【4】Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish?

【5】The last paragraph is about _________.

A. why there are so many Chinglish signs

B. examples of Chinglish

C. where Chinglish signs are

D. who uses Chinglish signs
