Tips for Learning English

1.

The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it— again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.

2.

The absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English”.

3.

There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm (节奏) or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become.

4.

This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents.

5.

Many people think that exercises and tests aren’t much fun. However, if you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you’ve learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English.

A.Use All of Your Resources

B.Speak Without Fear

C.Watch English Films and Television

D.Do Exercises and Take Tests

E.Surround Yourself with English

F.Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible

    If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因的) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read  — sports and international news, etc.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

1.In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ___________.

A.more and more people will watch TV

B.newspapers will cover more scientific research

C.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news

D.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer

2.From the passage, we can infer that _____________.

A.the writer believes some media will die out

B.television will take the place of the newspaper

C.newspapers will stay with us together with other media

D.newspapers will win the competition among the different media

3.The underline phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “ ___________”.

A.depend on B.compete with

C.fight with D.kill off

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A.The Best Way to Get News B.Make Your Own Newspaper

C.The Changes of Media D.The Future of Newspaper

    Researchers from Arizona State University (ASU) published their latest report. When men expressed their opinions with anger, people considered them more believable. But when women expressed anger, they were viewed as more emotional and, thus, less convincing. In other words, a man could benefit from using anger in power and persuasion. A woman, however, could be ignored or hurt by her group if she expressed anger.

The study was based on the responses of 210 students. They were shown evidence online from a murder (谋杀) trial. A man was said to have murdered his wife. The students were asked to decide if the man was guilty or not. Before making their decisions, the students discussed the case online with five jurors (陪审员). But these jurors were computers generating responses and comments. Some of the jurors had made identities. Others had female identities.

Some male jurors were anger about the verdict (裁决). When this happened, the students reacted by doubting their own decisions about the case. Confidence in their responses on the verdict dropped. However, when female jurors seemed angry, the students became more confident in their original verdicts.

Jessica Salerno, a psychologist and co-author of the study, said, “Our results provide something important for any woman who is trying to have an influence on a decision in her workplace and everyday life.”

In a political debate, a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger. In the entertainment world, actor Jennifer Lawrence recently wrote that women and men in Hollywood get the opposite reactions when expressing their opinions angrily. “All I hear and see are men speaking their opinions,” she wrote. “When I give mine in the quite similar manner, you would have thought I said something annoying.”

1.What’s the new finding from the ASU report?

A.Men usually do harm to angry women. B.Women are more likely to become angry.

C.People prefer to believe the angry women. D.Angry men appear to gain influence in a group.

2.In the study, the students would be sure about their decisions when_________.

A.male jurors agreed with them B.they became angry with the jurors

C.angry female jurors didn’t agree with them D.angry male jurors showed opposite opinions

3.Jessica Salerno thinks the study ____________.

A.helps women avoid losing influence B.asks men to get away from angry women

C.causes men to change their attitude to women D.shows men and women should be treated equally

4.The author supports Jessica Salerno by _____________.

A.presenting research findings B.setting down general rules

C.making comparisons D.giving examples

    If this isn’t true love then we don’t know what it is. High school sweethearts Leonard and Hazel Cherry passed away last Thursday just hours apart, a sweet ending to their 74-year together.

The couple were married in 1942 in Muldoon, Texas. Following their wedding ceremony at the start of World War II, Leonard enlisted in the Army Air Corps and became a B-24 bomber pilot. Luckily for the couple, he was never far from home as he was stationed at Carswell Army Air Corps Base in Fort Worth training others how to fly. Meanwhile, Hazel was a stay-at-home mom taking care of their only son, David. Once the war was over, Leonard worked as an auto body repairman in Fort Worth before opening an auto repair business in 1949, which the couple ran together for 31 years. The couple finally moved to Woodstock, Texas in 1980 to be close to their son and grandchildren.

In their final days, Leonard who was 95, was placed at the St. Catherine Center, a hospice (临终安养院) in Waco, Texas, while 93-year-old Hazel, who was in good health, had just moved into the village at Providence Park, a facility right next door to her husband’s.

Then on October 27, Leonard passed away just before 1 p.m. and his wife died just 10 hours later at 11 p.m.

“Every time I began to think about it, I began to smile because of how much they loved each other. In my mind my grandfather was waiting for her in heaven with open arms,” Craig Cherry told KWTX. “Even in his ninety-fifth year, he still, when he talked about her, had a sparkle (闪烁 的光) in his eye. A memorial service for them is scheduled for this Friday and I’m sure there won’t be a dry eye in the house.”

④ Leonard opened an auto repair business.

⑤ Leonard worked as an auto body repairman in Fort Worth.

A.Because she wanted to live independently.

C.Because she wanted to accompany her husband.

D.Because she wanted to be close to her son and grandchildren.

3.According to Craig Cherry,____________.
