Dear Nathan,
I'm Li Hua, president of English Club in Hongshui High School. Know that you are leaving for Britain, I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude for that you did as our foreign teacher.
Honestly speaking, some activities hold by our club would not have being so successful without your help. When we were preparing for the English Drama Competition, you offered plenty of advices about students’ English pronunciations as well as how to perform in a impressive way, which greatly improved their confidence on the stage. However, inspired by you, we organized several English Movie Nights when students could watch English movies with you and discuss in English afterwards. Not only they practice their spoken English, but also they had a better understanding of foreign cultures.
Now, face with your leaving, I hope you will have a great life back in your hometown. We will miss you a lot of. Take care!
Sincerely,
Li Hua

Keeping pence with your roommates will not always be a walk in the park. 1. You may also have to adjust yours as a form of cooperation and respect. Here are some steps you could follow to be at Peace with your new roommates:
2..This is the foundation of every friendship-familiarity with one another. Organize an open discussion about your roommate's personality. Know his likes and dislikes as well as his pet peeves(难忍之事，痛处). Have the necessary information in case of emergencies. This will allow each one of you an opportunity to understand one another more as well as reconcile(调解) differences if there is any.
Keep your messy stuff at bay.3. You must be mindful on your own share of the room's dirt and mess. Keep your things organized and generally out of anyone's way. Learn to be tidy and clean at all times. Create a duty schedule with your roommate, have an honest and fair agreement on it and stick strictly to it.
4. Good communication is the key here. You must accept that your roommate may be in a calm manner with your complaints. It is best to keep only in the room what happened in the room. It is not respectful if you would talk to other people that have no concern at all about your complaints.
Roommates arc perfect candidates to be your lifelong friends. Learn to treasure your relationship rooted in mutual(相互的) respect to each other. 5.
A.Mind your basic manners.
B.Get to know your roommates more.
C.Deal with conflicts in a calm manner.
D.This will surely make your new room a home away from home.
E.Rather, you may have to face and deal with different personalities.
F.Nothing is more annoying than having a messy work and living space.
G.Provide your roommate with necessary time and space to make him feel the privacy he used to enjoy.
Using technology in the classroom can produce unbelievable results. But for note-taking, it may pay to keep it old-school and stick with pen and paper. Students who take notes by hand appear to process information more deeply than those who take notes on a laptop or an iPad and other technological appliances, according to a study published this year.
Using the new fashionable method generally produces more raw notes. But students using laptops tend to do worse than note-takers by hand when answering conceptual questions about the material.
Researchers from Princeton and UCLA conducted several experiments with college students watching some video lectures. In one experiment, note-takers by hand wrote down fewer words than those typing on laptops. But the two groups performed about the same when answering factual questions about the lecture material, and students who wrote longhand did much better than laptop note-takers on conceptual questions .
What gives? Students using laptops tended to write what they heard word by word rather than processing the information; that resulted in a sort of “shallower” learning, the researchers say.
In a second experiment, students taking notes on laptops were told not to write down what they heard word by word. It didn't help in spite of the instructions. They still took notes word by word and they still did worse on conceptual questions than those taking notes by hand.
In a third experiment, students were able to briefly study their notes before answering questions asked a week after the lecture. Those reviewing their longhand notes did far better than students reviewing their typed notes.
A student named Jerry from the experiment said, “The study is right, and we have to think about what was said to take the notes because I could not write down every word. I even developed complex letter symbols to help. To study for tests, I went over and underlined key points to reinforce them. The process helped me understand the lectures better.”
1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 probably mean？___
A.It is necessary to take notes on a laptop or an iPad.
B.It is not worthwhile to take notes with pen and paper.
C.It needs much money to go to schools with a long history.
D.It may bring good results to use the traditional note-taking style.
2.What do the results have in common in the three experiments?
A.The students using laptops don’t understand the instructions.
B.The students using longhand write down all that they hear.
C.The students using laptops learn worse than those by hand.
D.The students using longhand don't process the information.
3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Jerry is good at inventing letter symbols. B.It's very hard for Jerry to write down notes.
C.Notes guarantee good performance in tests. D.Jerry approves of the study and its result.
4.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.An education column. B.A health magazine.
C.A travel guide. D.A biology textbook.
While many people dream of mermaids, few people actually try to become one. How can someone become a mermaid if they don't exist? Just ask Dana Richardson, who is a professional mermaid in Hawaii!
“As a child, I always felt very connected to the ocean and played mermaids in the water,” says Dana. “My love of the ocean took me to different types of work such as a lifeguard, swim instructor, boat crew member, underwater photographer, boat captain and surfer. I just decided to take it to the next level and grow a tail.”
Dana doesn't mean literally. In 2008 she began making mermaid tails from materials including shiny fabric that she wears while free-diving in the waters around Kona, Hawaii. Free-diving means diving without any protective equipment. It requires you to hold your breath while swimming deep underwater. As she dives in, Dana not only like a mermaid; she experiences what it is like to swim like one too.
The waters around Dana's home in Kona are filled with wildlife, including dolphins and whales. Kona is by a sheltered sea where the waters are calm for swimming. For ten years Dana has been swimming with the creatures of Kona. Some of them have even learned to recognize her.
Dana knows how to swim with sea life because she is a trained marine naturalist She understands the behavior of sea life and knows how to safely interact with it. Every morning when she swims with sea life she gets to experience her other “home”. The ocean beneath the depths really is another world. Watching how the world works so gracefully in the circle of life underwater is a beautiful thing?
For Dana Richardson being a mermaid just makes sense. “I always felt more comfortable underwater than on land,” she says. Would you like to follow your dream, even if it seems impossible? Dana Richardson reminds everyone, “One person can truly make a difference. By following your heart and offering the world your unique gifts, you will inspire others to do so. The world needs you!”
