Dear Year 5 kids,

Hello! I’m from Year 6 in Mrs. Batley’s class. However, last year I was a Year 5 kid in Mr. Poulter’s class. We went on a fantastic journey to see “The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World” by courtesy of (承蒙……的允许) Time Travel Tours Ltd. Yes, we got into their “time machine” (we had to travel this way as the wonders are all gone now except for the pyramids) and set the dials for the correct time and place. And before we knew it, we were walking around the masterpieces of architecture (建筑杰作). We sent back postcards from all seven places. Click on any of these seven locations on the map below to find out what we saw. This year’s Year 5 kids may find it very useful! So, get exploring and discover ...

　　　　　　　　　　　                                         Lots of love,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                    Holly Reardon

We spend hours, days and years of our lives in school. Imagine(想象) you could design(设计) your dream school, what would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is what they said:

Richard from the USA: My dream school would have a big swimming pool and two soccer fields. It would also have a cinema, a gym and a shopping centre. My school has none of these, and I think there should be more pleasant things for students to do while they are studying.

Sonia from Italy: I’d like a room where we can relax and play computer games. I’d also like to have a music room. I think there should be a place for everyone to go and relax after class.

Wu from Beijing: I think it would be great to have another day off (休息日) every week, besides the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. What fun! I also think school should start later, at about 10 o’clock, and finish earlier.

Hannah from Australia: In my dream school, I think the teachers should give us more freedom(自由) and choice about how we study and what we study. I also think it’s not necessary for us to wear school uniforms every day. I really don’t like wearing it.

When Ben Franklin was only a boy，he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers “What？”and “How？” and “Why？”

They couldn't always tell him what he wanted to know．

When they couldn't tell him，Ben tried to find out for himself．

Many times Ben did find out things that no one knew before. The other boys would say，“That Ben Franklin！He's always finding out something new！”

Ben lived close to the water．He liked to go there to see the boats. He saw how the wind blew them across the water．

One day Ben said to himself，“Why can't the wind help me float（漂浮）across the water？And I'm going to try.” Ben got his big kite．He took hold of the kite string（线）and ran with it．The wind took the kite up into the air. Then Ben jumped into the water．

The wind blew the kite high into the air．Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side，and he had not worked at all．

One boy shouted，“Look at Ben floating across the water！His kite takes him to the other side without any work！”

“Yes,” said another．“He's always finding new ways to do things.”

1.When he was only a child，Ben  ________．

2.His father and brothers ________．

3.In the passage，the sentence “and he had not worked at all” means“_______”．

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t  mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places. There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

1.The first paragraph tells us ________.

2.Which of the following is what the writer doesn’t say in the passage?

3.People who have friends live longer than people who don’t because ________

4.The main idea of this passage is ________.
