• 4．I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China.Learning a foreign language opens your eyes to the culture and history of a country.So in order to know more about China，l started to learn Chinese.
     But at times，I found myself in funny situations.When I greeted strangers in China，they began to talk a lot and very fast.They asked me questions about everything.But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face.I had no idea what they were talking about.Were they just being kind，funny or impolite？Many people want to make friends with me.But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend.They say they want to practice their English.I don't need friends like this.I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.

• 7．Education departments in several provinces have said that students should not be punished for not finishing summer holiday homework.Hefei required schools to give a "summer homework deferral period （緩交期）"，allowing for homework to be handed in within two weeks of the start of the school year.What do you think of the"summer homework deferral period"？
      I think it's a good way to lower students' pressure.I believe most of the students who put off their homework in the last few days have their reasons for doing so.On the one hand，students today have many more things to do，like after-school classes，exercises in every subject and different competitions to take part in.On the other hand，students sometimes procrastinate （拖延） under the huge pressure of classes and homework.Sometimes they just need more time to finish their homework.
      Li Yixuan，a 14-year-old girl，Jiangsu
      Holiday homework is a review of the last term and a preview of the next.As long as we organize our holiday time properly，it will not take up much of our time.Also，by doing the homework，we can improve our memories of the knowledge that we have learned.It will also help us learn better in the next term.If we set up a so-called "homework deferral period"，it not only encourages students to organize their holiday time badly but also might influence our study in the new term.
      Qiu Wenjun，a 12-year-old boy，Liaoning
      This will not have any influence on students who already have high requirements placed on themselves.However，for those who are procrastinating，it will make their summer vacation time longer.This will lead them to always think，"No hurry!There can be a delay （推遲）"when doing homework during the holiday.This brings down their learning efficiency and actually encourages them to be lazy as a result.
      Wang Hexuan，a 13-year-old girl，Beijing
  
  （1）Which province required schools to give a "summer homework deferral period"？

  
  （2）According to Li Yixuan，what do students do under the huge pressure of classes？

  
  （3）Qiu Wenjun doesn't agree with the"homework deferral "policy，does he？

  
  （4）How old is Wang Hexuan？

  
  （5）Who will not be influenced by the "summer homework deferral period"？
