Ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to our English Corner. This English Corner was set up three years before. Every Sunday morning, students from different schools and some foreigners often take part. Gathered around here, we practise spoken English by talking about everything we are interested. We also exchange my experience in English study. We all had a good time here. Thousands of people have been here when it was set up.

They have learned a lot by taking part in activity here. It is a really supplement（补充）to our English class and it is welcomed by students and teachers. They all think it is of helpful. If you want to know much about the corner, you may talk to the students here.

I _______ the training wheels, jumped on, and swerved (突然转向) all over the place like an out-of- control madman.

How to Learn English Well

All English learners want to improve their English, but as you know, it can be difficult! For you to learn, you need to work on all areas. The four main areas for you to focus on are: Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. 1.

Speaking

This is the best way to learn English! There is nothing better than conversation to help you improve. 2. Also, get into the habit of thinking in English and don’t translate from your own language into English, which will slow you down. It’s fun to sing in English, so learn some English songs and sing your heart out!

Listening

3. Like speaking, it’s better for you to be in a totally English-speaking environment. It’s also good to watch TV shows, or movies in English. The news can be difficult to learn from for beginners, but the more you listen the more you'll pick up.

Reading

Reading English is something you can do to help you learn on your own, outside of the classroom. Have a dictionary with you to look up new words and then write them down in a notebook. 4. Newspapers are good for higher-level students, while lower-level students can try reading children’s stories or books which have been especially written for English learners. The Internet is full of stuff you can read and learn from.

Writing

Try keeping a diary. Start with small sentences and make them longer. 5. Try to make friends online, visit chat rooms, or post comments on blogs. These are all useful tools for you.

A. The four abilities are very important.

B. Here are some ways to help you learn.

C. Meanwhile, write or read some newspapers.

D. Again, the Internet is indeed a great way to help.

E. This really is a skill that needs to be worked on every day.

F. Using these new words in conversation is a great way to learn.

G. The quickest way to learn English is to be surrounded with English speakers.

    Imagine a store where you could buy what you need using your plastic garbage. Not just food or household items but valuable goods such as minutes for your cellphone, WiFi and even health insurance.

This isn’t imagination for the future, or a strange society that uses trash for cash. It’s the idea behind Plastic Bank, a company formed in 2013 by David Katz and Shaun Frankson. As a diver, Katz was upset—and thus inspired to act—after he saw the shocking amount of plastic trash in the ocean when he travelled to other countries to dive.

Although important, simply cleaning up the oceans wasn’t enough, he decided. “To understand why, imagine walking into a kitchen to find the sink（洗碗池）overflowing and water pouring onto the floor. What would you do first? Turn off the tap.”says Katz. And he believes we need to turn off the tap for plastic junk and stop it from getting into the sea in the first place.

With Plastic Bank, people in parts of Haiti, the Philippines and Brazil can transform plastic trash into cash, goods or services. Collectors gather the plastic and bring it to a collection center to be weighed. In exchange, they’re paid in the form of cash, items from the store, or points that can be used at any store or recycling center that uses the Plastic Bank app; in some places, the points can also be exchanged for mobile money.

A collector can earn up to the equivalent of ＄ 5 a day, according to Plastic Bank. This can double or triple people’s real incomes. In Haiti, for example, the majority of the population earns below ＄ 2.41 a day.

After the collectors turn in their plastic, it is sent to a recycling center, where it’s sold to companies that use it in their products. Many businesses pay a premium（额外费用）for recycled plastic, in part to meet their social responsibility goals. But it can also benefit their bottom line-they’re able to tell consumers that by buying goods made with what Katz calls “social plastic”, their purchase（购买）benefits both the environment and people's livelihood.

1.What was the main reason for David Katz to set up Plastic Bank?

A.To recycle plastic garbage.

B.To make money by running a company.

C.To increase the income of local people.

D.To protect the ocean from plastic pollution.

2.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?

A.The main products of plastic.

B.How plastic garbage is produced.

C.The Plastic Bank’s operation process.

D.The main function of the Plastic Bank.

3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To introduce a recycling company

B.To introduce the effects of plastic.

C.To tell us how to recycle the natural resources.

D.To introduce a new way to protect the ocean environment.

4.Where does this text probably come from?

A.Science fiction.

B.A science report.

C.An advertisement.

D.News of environmental protection.

    It is interesting to see that the force of only 6 or 7 people pushing in the same direction can cause up to 1,000 pounds of force—enough to break brick walls. During a fatal stampede (蜂拥), people can even die standing up. People die when pressure is put to their bodies in a front to back direction, causing them not to be able to breathe.

If you are in a crowd, the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and find different exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.

Make yourself aware of the type of the ground you are standing on, and know that in a crowd of moving people wet ground can cause you to fall.

When in danger, a few seconds can make a difference, giving you the possibility of making use of your escaping route. Always stay closer to the escape route. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure and do not stand still or sit down, because you can easily get trampled (踩踏). Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; make use of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.

Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer—it gives you movement and protects your chest. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you up. If you have kids, lift them up. If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms; do not lie on your stomach or back.

1.Why may people in a stampede die standing up?

A.They can’t breathe freely.

B.They push in the same direction.

C.They are not able to get up.

D.They aren’t familiar with the surroundings.

2.What does the underlined word n fatal” mean in the first paragraph?

A.Harmful. B.Shocking.

C.Deadly. D.Hateful.

3.What should we do to make a difference when in danger?

A.Fight against the pressure.

B.Stand still where you are.

C.Sit down covering your head.

D.Move along the escape route.

4.What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the passage?

A.How to stay far away from a crowd.

B.What to do when you are in a crowd.

C.Where to go when you are in danger.

D.How to get along with a big crowd.

Scientists in Colombia have trained a team of rats to help remove land mines from the countryside. Land mines are small bombs hidden in the ground and designed to explode(爆炸) when someone steps on them. When trained, the rats can smell special metals in the mines and then signal(发信号) to their human team. Then why use rats for such an important job?

In the past, dogs have been used to find bombs. Rats have a good sense of smell and can respond to orders, just like dogs do. But rats are much lighter than dogs. They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines, which explode under a certain amount of weight. What’s more, the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs. It costs about the same amount of money to take care of one dog as it does 70 rats.

The rats have already been used in Tanzania, an African country with many land mines. Luisa Fernanda Méndez and her team in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats. These are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in laboratory experiments. “They even train their babies to perform their jobs, which saves us a lot of time, ” Méndez said.

Colombia has the second-highest rate(比率) of deaths from land mine accidents in the world. Last year, land mines killed 695 people — 56 of whom were children. A criminal group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, as well as other organizations, have placed the mines. FARC are strongly against Colombia’s government. The group has placed mines all around its own bases and in many places in the countryside.

In the past, the Colombian government hired peasants and poor farmers to find mines. Many of them died trying to find the well-hidden bombs.

Colombian police official Erick Guzmán hopes the team of rats can come to the rescue(援救). “These rats will be a great help,” he said.

1.How do rats help to find land mines?

A.By their special sight. B.By their light weight.

C.By their sense of smell. D.By their excellent hearing.

2.The advantage of rats over dogs in finding bombs is that _____.

A.they are cleverer.

B.they run faster.

C.they have a better sense of smell.

D.they don’t make mines explode as easily.

3.The underlined word “They” may refer to ______.

A.scientists. B.Wistar rats.

C.dogs. D.Méndez and her team.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.Specially-trained rats help clear land mines.

B.People in Tanzania are suffering from land mines.

C.Dogs are no longer used to find land mines.

D.Land mines have become a great danger to Colombians.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

A 15­year­old boy planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his mouth and set it on fire. He would film the dangerous action and put it on YouTube. And, he hoped to become famous on the Internet. But things didn't go the way he imagined. His clothing caught fire, and he was rushed to the hospital with serious burns on his body.

YouTube hosts millions of videos of people attempting dangerous actions. Many of them are by kids and young adults. Some experts say that by hosting these videos, YouTube encourages young viewers to take deadly risks. Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than 180，000 Americans die from accidental injuries each year. That's one person every three minutes. More than 14，000 of those killed are kids under the age of 19. Is YouTube to blame?

People have always found it interesting to watch others try risky things. Audiences are mad about these kinds of things. Some of the earliest Greek comedies had characters followed by wild animals and knocking into walls. Now, in the age of the Internet, anyone with a camera and a YouTube account can create this kind of “fun”. Many viewers, especially teenagers, are influenced by what they see and want to try it themselves. “YouTube has taken the playing in the neighborhood to a worldwide level，” says Clair Mellenthin, a researcher from the Centers.

Supporters of YouTube argue that it isn't YouTube's responsibility to examine its content. “Parents should be the ones to make sure that kids are behaving safely，” they say. In fact, YouTube has a rule on content. For example, dangerous activities that have a risk of serious physical harm or death are not allowed. Staff of YouTube, carefully watch the website 24 hours a day, looking for videos that are against their rules. But is this enough?

How to Improve Your English

Define your learning objectives early: what do you want to learn and why? Make learning a habit. 1. It is much better to study (or read, or listen to English news, and so on) for 10 minutes each day than to study for 2 hours once a week.

Choose your materials well. You will need reading, grammar, writing, speaking and listening materials—beginners can use a basic­level English guide, and then move on to an advanced­level English guide. 2. It will make learning more enjoyable—thus more effective.

Vary your learning routine. It is best to do different things each day to help keep the various relationships between each area active. 3.

4. Learning English together can be very encouraging. You can find friends to speak English on the Internet.

Relate grammar to practical usage. Grammar by itself does not help you use the language. You should practice what you are learning by employing it actively.

Move your mouth! Understanding something doesn't mean that the muscles of your mouth can produce the sounds. 5. It may seem strange, but it is very effective.

Be patient with yourself. Remember that learning is a process—speaking a language well takes time. It is not a computer that is either on or off!

A. The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource.

B. Try to learn something every day.

C. Practice speaking what you are learning aloud.

D. In other words, don't just study grammar.

E. Find your own interests.

F. Choose articles that relate to what you are fond of.

G. Find friends to study and speak with.

    When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t  sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.

Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.

Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.

In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.

Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth. Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.

1.What does a plant do when it is under attack?

A.It makes noises. B.It gets help from other plants.

C.It stands quietly D.It sends out certain chemicals.

2.What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?

A.The attackers get attacked.

B.The insects gather under the table.

C.The plants get ready to fight back.

D.The perfumes attract natural enemies.

3.Scientists find from their studies that plants can ________.

A.predict natural disasters

B.protect themselves against insects

C.talk to one another intentionally

D.help their neighbors when necessary

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.The world is changing faster than ever.

B.People have stronger senses than before

C.The world is more complex than it seems

D.People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.

    When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That's just for you，” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.

1.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint?

A.He agreed with her “enemy”.

B.He let her continue to put up with her “enemy”.

C.He told her to write down all her “enemy” had said about her.

D.He told her not to pay attention to what her “enemy” had said.

A.The “enemy” thought the writer was pretty.

B.The “enemy” thought the writer studied hard.

C.The writer and her “enemy” became best friends at last.

D.The writer is grateful to her father.

3.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A.Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend

B.The Best Advice I've Ever Had

C.My Father

D.My Childhood
