Last weekend, I went to visit my English teacher, who was already in his fifty. He gives me a lot of help when I was a junior middle school student. Delighting to see me, he asked my senior middle school life. Then he advised me to make fully preparations for the coming entrance examination. It was so a pleasure to see him again that I didn’t notice it was pretty later. I had to say goodbye to each other.
He is not only a good teacher but my close friend. Wherever I will go, I will always treasure a time that I spent with my teacher.

I seldom thought I had a passion. I would sit before the TV all day, thinking1.nothing but the next shadow. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.

But he man wasn’t sitting down with a sad5.(express). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing6.(merry) to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing7.he had.
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He bought8.,” she replied.
“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t9.only important things. We need happiness, too.”
“I see.” The man must care too much about music, so he bought a radio instead of food and clothes. I realized that happiness is the key to life.10.it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going!

Before you begin studying English, ask yourself one question: “1.” Is it because you want to, or because someone else wants you to? Like every decision in life, studying English must be something you want to do. Here are some tips to help you learn English well.
● Set goals.
If you know why you want to study, setting goals is easy. For example, maybe you want to travel to an English-speaking country. Great! 2. Perhaps you have already known many useful phrases, but you want to improve your listening skills and pronunciation. Whatever your goals are, you should write them down,
● 3.
How long do you need to study to achieve your goals? This answer is different for every student. 4. If you work 40 hours per week，don’t plan on spending another 5. hours a week studying English. Start off slow, but study regularly. Use material that is challenging, but not too difficult. Find out what works for you. After you have studied for a few weeks, adjust your study schedule accordingly.
● Make a commitment.
Learning English requires a lot of motivation. Nobody is going to take your attendance when you aren’t in class. If you are sure that you are ready to begin studying, make a commitment.
● Have fun learning English.
If you aren’t having fun learning English, you’re not studying the right way! You can be a serious student who has fun at the same time. Make up your own reward program to give yourself encouragement to stay on a task.
A. Make an arrangement.
B. Why do I want to study English?
C. Your goal might be to learn “Survival English”.
D. The important thing is to be realistic and reliable.
E. What is the most effective way of learning English?
F. The things we do best in life are what we enjoy doing.
G. Make every moment of your English learning meaningful.
Spend any time in London, England’s capital, and you’ll quickly gather that it’s a multicultural (多元文化的) community. Look around at your fellow passengers on the Tube(地铁) or the bus. They’re of every skin color and dress differently to one another. Listen, and you’ll hear many other languages besides English spoken. Some of these people, no doubt, will be tourists who are in London to see the sights. But others — in fact probably most — will be living their lives there, along with millions of others.
Along with white British people, there are Britons from, or with parents and grandparents from, the Caribbean, India, China and most other places. This makes London a fascinating place in which to live. The reason is that when people settle in a place, they don’t just buy a house and live there, but bring aspects of the culture of their “old country” with them.
The most visible sign of this is the number of restaurants offering dishes from different parts of the world. In a city in which it’s estimated 250 different languages are spoken, you can expect a similarly wide range of foods to be available. You would expect in one of the world’s leading cities to encounter(遇到) French, Italian, Chinese and Indian eateries. But in London you’ll also find Polish, Patagonian and Palestinian restaurants.
However, London’s multiculturalism isn’t just about food. Many types of people are gathered in one space, but the way they live differently shows in that space. They worship(崇拜) differently, for one thing. Alongside the famous old English churches by Nicholas Hawksmoor and Christopher Wren — responsible for one of the capital’s most famous landmark, St Paul’s Cathedral—you’ll find mosques(清真寺), temples and synagogues (犹太教堂).
London even speaks its own special kind of English. Language experts created the term “Multicultural London English” to identify the dialect of English that appeared at the end of the last century.
All of this makes London a very surprising and varied place to call your home. But, in a way, this has long been true. In the 18th century, the compiler(编纂者) of the first English dictionary, Samuel Johnson, once said: “ He who is tired of London is tired of life.”
1.By describing the situation on the Tube and bus, the author intends to ________.
A. show that London is a multicultural city
B. explain why London appeals to tourists
C. prove that London is a great place to live in
D. inform us of how the population of Britain is made up
2.According to the article, people who settle in London from other places ________.
A. are forced to give up their native language
B. find it easy to buy a house in the city
C. bring in cultural practices from their original country
D. make up the majority of the population in the city
3.Which of the following could be used as proof of London’s multiculturalism?
A. The city is home to the famous building St Paul’s Cathedral.
B. The city has become a favorite destination for tourists abroad.
C. There are a variety of French restaurants in the city.
D. A new London dialect has appeared in recent years.
4.Samuel Johnson is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.
A. show what London was like in the 18th century
B. prove the cultural diversity of London from a historical aspect
C. inform the readers what to expect in London
D. introduce the first English dictionary he compiled
Laughter Yoga(瑜伽) is one form of yoga. Madan Kataria, a doctor in Mumbai, India invented it. He believed that people had forgotten how to really laugh. Through his research he made an interesting discovery. The human mind does not know the difference between forced laughter and real laughter. Forced laughter can also lead to a feeling of happiness.
And then Kataria had the idea for a group of people who would laugh together. He gathered a few of his friends together. They met in a public park in Mumbai. That small group grew and grew! And this is how people began to do Laughter Yoga. People doing Laughter Yoga usually meet together in a Laughter Club. Kataria’s friends formed the first Laughter Club in 1995.
Today, there’re over 5,000 Laughter Clubs in 53 countries. But what exactly do people do in a Laughter Club? People in Laughter Yoga meetings usually do a series of exercises. The exercises include body movement, correct breathing, and of course, laughter! At the beginning of the meeting, people may have to force themselves to laugh. But by the end, everyone is usually laughing in a real way! Each meeting is a little different. But there are common exercises groups may do.
Experts say that the exercises help blood move around the body faster. They also say that Laughter Yoga helps people deal with the bad things in their lives. They say that a person may go into a Laughter Club meeting feeling sad, angry, or worried. But then, people act happy. After a time, forced laughter becomes real laughter. This is one reason why people may enjoy laughter Yoga so much
