    Hunan TV station is very popular among young people in China. Are you interested in it? Do you think it's good or bad? Some students had a discussion about this question. Here are some opinions.

Good	Nancy	I know a lot of great people who are introduced by Hunan TV station. They are good at singing, dancing and acting because they always spend plenty of time practicing these things. They should be our heroes.
	Tommy	Every weekend I watch its different kinds of programs with my parents. And it helps my parents know about me and my favorite things. Besides, it's also a good way to relax after a week's schoolwork.
Bad	Lily	I don't like the programSupper Girl. It attracts too much of our attention. Many of us always talk about who is beautiful or who will win. Sometimes we even talk about it in class and forget our study. It's not a good thing for students.
	Daniel	I don't think Hunan TV station is useful. Some hosts of some programs just try to play jokes on others or themselves. It's a waste of time. We can't learn anything from them. We should make a rule to keep students away from these boring programs.

    I was woken up by a strange sound. I saw something moving by my window. I was terrified and ran downstairs. I found my mom in the kitchen, getting my brother ready for school.

    "Mum, did you hear anything? I, uh. I thought I saw an alien."

    "Are you all right? Just a dream! " Mum answered.

    Then I went back to my room. As I walked to the window, I cried, I saw a little alien, no more than three feet tall, with big and black eyes. It tried to run between my legs and escape through the window. Although I was scared, for some reason, I squeezed (挤) my legs together in time to catch it. It took out something and hurt me. I felt a terrible sense ofnothingnessand fainted (晕倒). Then I woke up.

    At first, I could hardly move. I wasn't sure whether it was a dream or not. I pulled myself out of the bed and walked downstairs. I saw my mum in the kitchen. She was really getting my brother ready for school, wearing her pink clothes. Then I realized it was just a dream because in my dream she was wearing her work clothes.

    From then on, I always dreamt about aliens and all the dreams felt so real. At that time, I really thought maybe I had some kind of relationship with aliens. About two months later, I stopped having such dreams. Later I realized that l used to have those dreams because I always read books or watched TV programs about aliens before I fell asleep!

    Boys and girls, do you like your eyes? And do you know that there are many phrases in English about eyes? We all know people's eyes can be a windows of soul (心灵). Today we'll enjoy the following eye phrases by a story. It's about a man and a woman who are both teachers at the same school.

    Let's suppose that the man asked the woman out on a date. She was so happy because this man was the apple of her eye, a very special person. On their date, they might eat a meal. During their dinner, they might discuss many things. They might discover that theysee eye to eye, or agree on many things. For example, they might agree that every crime (罪行) should be punished. That is to say they believed in the idea of an eye for an eye.

    The next day, the woman asked the man to keep an eye on the young students in her class while she was out.Thismight be hard to do when the teacher was writing on the blackboard. To do so, a teacher would need to have eyes in the back of his head. In other words, he could know what the students were doing even when he was not watching them.

    Boys and girls, are you interested in these phrases? Maybe there are many phrases about other parts of the body in English. Have a try!

    27 world records were broken during the 2016 Summer Olympics. They fell in swimming running weightlifting and a number of other sports. But how do athletes continue to get better, jump longer, run or swim faster? Although scientists say that athletes have reached their limits (极限), records continue to fall. In almost every sport, athletes have become better since the Olympic Games begin.

    One reason is that and more people than ever beforehave access tosports and exercise. They start at an earlier age and can compete longer in their sport. In schools more and more natural talents can be discovered.

    Besides, athletes can train full-time instead of training after works. As medicine improves, athletes can stay in competition for a longer time and overcome injuries (损伤) faster. Many top athletes achieve their best results later on in their careers. Technology has also helped improve scores.

    One of the most important reasons, however, is the human mind. We always want to be better and faster that someone else. It can release (释放) great power in our body.

    So, where are limits? One of the most difficult questions to answer is how fast a human being can run. Many years ago, nobody thought a person could ever run within 10 seconds in the 100-metre race. But the record was broken at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. A t the moment Sustain Bolt is the fastest man on Earth at 9.58 seconds. Scientists say that 9.48 may be the limit, but, who knows, maybe some runners will one day run within 9 seconds.

— It's over 2000 meters.
