A funny thing happened to my sister Tina last month. She lives in Japan and teaches English. In Japan, people don’t usually wear their outdoor shoes in the house or in school, and a lot of buildings have places for shoes. So her school ahs a special place for shoes.      1.          

    Tina teaches English in the evening. One Friday, she went to school, and she put her shoes in the shoe box—as usual. Then she had an interesting spoken English class with her students.    2.        But to her surprise, her shoes weren’t in the box. There was only one pair of those there, and they weren’t her hoes! She had to get home in a hurry.     3.          

    On Monday, at her next English class, her shoes were in a shopping bag on her desk! There was a note that said, “I’m so sorry. I took your shoes by mistake!”     4.       Somebody felt a lot of shame!

( A ) China news, Beijing, Dec. 28 – High oil   prices make more Chinese public feel the pressure it brings on them. It is   said that oil prices will continue to hover（徘徊） at a high level next year, the China Economic Times   reported.

( B ) An English Christmas evening party is to be   held in the meeting hall of our school from 7:00 to 10:00 p. m. on Christmas   Eve. Each group has to give at least two performances, such as singing   English songs, giving English plays, telling jokes or stories in English and   reading English poems. Please get everything ready and be present at the   party on time. Thanks.

( C ) Whether your interest is the language, the   food or the culture of China in general, whether you wish to travel, live or   study in China, "Travel in Chinese" has something for you. This   series has a total of 100 lessons. It was on CCTV, China?s national TV   station. Host: Mark Rowswell, also known as "大山"                (Da   Shan).

( D ) Students need enough sports and activities   to do physical exercises and relax. But in some schools they are not given   enough time to do outside activities. It is harmful for students' growth. In   fact, teachers should know how to attract the students' attention. It is   necessary to do outside activities. When students feel tired and bored, they   can't concentrate on studies. Some students are unhealthy because of little   activities.
