About a week before his mother’s birthday, a man came to his office. He brought a big bird. This bird can speak foreign languages and sing pop songs. The man made the bird talk in French and tell a joke in Japanese. Then the bird sang a beautiful song. The next day, Bill sent the bird to his mother with a birthday card.

②First, you need to know what kind of group they are. If people of the group are shy, never ask them“Why don’t you talk?” “Why are you quiet?”or “Why do you look shy?” They don’t like such  questions.

③Next, remember that each group is different. They may use different words, like different things or have different ways of “hanging out”.

④Then, the important thing is that you should try to be outgoing. If you are outgoing, you would become very popular. Remember, nobody wants to make friends with a shy person.

⑤Finally, find a right topic to talk about with the group. For example, you can talk with them about the weather, the news, their hobbies or their school life.

Are video games bad for our children？Today, many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet. In the UK, 99% of kids aged 8 to 15 play video games every week. This information tells us that we must take video games seriously.

For many people, video games are fun.   ①   They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Everywhere you look, you can see children playing these games. They play on buses and trains, in restaurants and even at school.

    ②    They make kids think in a creative way and they have to move their hands and eyes quickly. This can help a child’s head work. What’s more, video games make children more creative.  Video games are also a good way to teach children how computers and other devices work while they play.

    ③    However, a recent study shows that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download many games for free. This means that parents often don’t know if their children are playing scary games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers and they may have health problems. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video games can stop children from making more friends.     ④    If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves, they might not learn how to play with their friends.

All in all, it seems clear that video games have advantages(优点) and disadvantages. It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

(   ) 37.The underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to“__________”.

(   ) 38. Which of the following is the advantage of video games according to the recent study ?

(   ) 39.It’s best to put the sentence “Video games are educational, too.” in _________ .

(   ) 40. In the writer’s opinion, _____ should play a big role in video games play for kids.
