Passage B
　　In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining (请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.
　　Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:
　　“Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night?”
　　“Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?”
　　To reply to an invitation (邀请), either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give an excuse:
　　“Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie.”
　　Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example:
　　“Please come over for a drink sometime.”
　　“Why not get together for a party sometime?”
　　“Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?”
　　They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention a specific (确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions (邀请) like these, people just say “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK. Yes, thanks.”
　　So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

Passage C
　　In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution. They join in “environment clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.
　　Here are things students often do：

　　No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car-not the students and not the teachers. Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: walk, jump, bike or run.

　　Passage D
　　Light and shadow are friends. They usually go together. We receive light every day. At the same time, we produce shadow. Light can't shine through you. Your body stops it from passing.
　　There is a dark spot (斑点) on the ground next to you. The light cannot reach the dark spot. This is your shadow. At noon the sun shines over your head. Your body stops very little light from reaching the ground. So your shadow is quite short. But in the early morning or late afternoon the sun is low in the sky. Its light moves over more of your body. Then your shadow is quite long. Your body keeps a lot of light from reaching the ground. We love light, especially sunlight. Without sunlight, life on earth is impossible. Most of us like to stand in the shadow of the tree in summer. But some people are afraid of their own shadow at night. They do not want to see the shadow, either. But still light and shadow usually go together.
