    As we all know, practice makes perfect. If you want to learn English well, you’ll have to keep practicing it. But, then, how do you do that? 1..

Read and watch news in English

Staying informed about what’s happening in the world is a great habit—do that in English! 2.. Start watching BBC and CNN. Trust me, this will also build your listening skills and help you to build your vocabulary.

Read children’s books

Now don’t be embarrassed (难为情) about doing that, “Oh, my God. I am too big to read these books.” The language that is used in these books is, of course, for children. So, no big words are used. 3.. And, of course, there are lots of pictures in these books, which will help you understand what is written about.

Keep a book

Every night, spend five minutes writing about what you did throughout the day. 4.. Also you can add new phrases or new words that you have learned. And then, whenever you want to refer to them, you can just quickly have a look.

5..

Find a partner to practice the language. Whether it is a friend or a family member, don’t be embarrassed about it. Just go ahead and start practicing. So, rather than being nervous or trying to struggle with words, a partner would help you to correct that.

A. Just go ahead and do that

B. Here are some ways to help you

C. Find someone and do it together

D. Instead, simple language is used

E. Start picking up English newspapers

F. And you can just write up a small story

G. The more you listen, The better you will speak

    More and more people around the world are getting tattoos (纹身). In the United States a large number of people aged 25 to 40 get tattoos. A third of all Americans between 18 and 25 have a tattoo. In Britain a fifth of all adults are tattooed. Tattooing has become an important industry as well. Today, there are more than 50,000 tattoo artists in the US alone.

Tattooing goes way back in history. In many parts of the world, people used tattoos for different purposes. The ancient Romans tattooed their slaves. Native Americans tattooed themselves as a sign of bravery. N Nazi Germany Jews were marked with a number to tell who they were.

Not only has tattooing itself become a big industry, but removing them is also on the increase. Many people just don’t realize that a tattoo lasts forever and at some time in their lives they may want to get rid of it.

    Everyone has got two personalities---the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you fall asleep with.

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people. So you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not tomorrow.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced(平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people rather angry.

    One day, when I was a boy, my classmates and I were going to pick berries (莓果). Before I left, my father said, “Harry, when you find a good bush, don’t leave it to try to find a better one. The other kids will run about, picking one or two berries here, and one or two there, and getting very few in the end. If you want to get more berries, stick to your bush!”

I went with my classmates and we had a good time. But it was just as my father had said. Once one of my classmates found a good bush, he called to the others, and they would leave their places and run off to see what he had found.

But I remembered my father’s words, and I stuck to my bush. When I had done with one, I went to another. When night came, I had a large basketful of nice berries, and more than all the others put together. And I was not so tired as they were. I went home happily that night.

Now I have worked for 6 years, but I never forget the lesson my father taught me. I always stick to my bush. When I had a good place and was getting on well, I wouldn’t leave it and spend days or weeks trying to find a better place. When my friends said, “Come with us, and we will find you something better to do.” I shook my head, and stuck to my bush. Now I’m running a big company.

Travel Tips for New Zealand

If you’re looking for some adventure in one of the amazing countries on Earth, then New Zealand is a must! 1.! But there are a few things you should know before you head over to it.

1. Bring every kind of clothing you own

That might be a bit surprising, but we have some crazy weather here. From snow in Southland, to windy Wellington, to Auckland, you may experience four seasons in one day! You’d be forgiven for thinking that you could just bring your hot weather clothes if you’re here in the “summer months”. 2..

2. New Zealand beaches are amazing, but dangerous

New Zealand has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and it’s not uncommon to have a whole beach for yourself. Sadly though, I’ve seen countless tourists on the news who have underestimated (低估) our beaches and ended up having to be rescued, or worse. Though a lot of the beaches are popular destinations, make sure you read the signs or ask a local to make sure it’s safe. 3. You’ll soon find out that the sun in New Zealand might not be as hot, but you’ll burn a lot faster than anywhere else.

3. 4.

Sure, there are plenty of tours that you can go on to see different parts of the country, but by hiring your own car, you’ll have the freedom of the open road. 5.. So, getting around is much easier with your own car and you’ll be able to come and go as you please. Don’t forget to drive on the LEFT side of the road down here!

A. It really is a country like no other

B. Also remember to apply sunscreen (防晒霜)

C. You will need a car to get around

D. You will come back to New Zealand for more

E. New Zealand’s public transport is not good enough

F. But summer often doesn’t truly kick in until mid-late January, and even then it’s touch-and-go

G. If you go for a bush walk in New Zealand, your biggest danger is slipping on some rocks or getting lost

    In 2012, an iPhone fell into my hands. This smart technology seemed like the entrance to only fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging.

However, seven years later, I had become horribly limited to it. Recent reports show that I’m not alone. According to a study, the average American spends five hours a day on smart devices (装置) and about 2.5 of those hours are spent on social, messaging, media and entertainment apps.

It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into a dependency. I fell asleep to my phone every night and woke to it each morning. I checked the weather app every morning before I chose how to dress for the day. I used it to help me find my way through a city I should know well enough on my own. I updated my email box every time I picked my phone up.

Just like with any addiction, my phone dependency began to influence my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of being involved in communicating with my loved ones. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end. Eventually, I was left with years of memories and a mobile phone that couldn’t provide enjoyable company across a dinner table, share in the joys of experiencing a concert or kiss me goodnight before bed.

Now, I move through life with more purpose and intention. I’ve cut back on carelessly giving away my limited time and attention to my phone. Instead, I focus my efforts on being as present as possible. Truly training the mind to stay present is a long and challenging road, but it’s important to start somewhere.

I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time feels problematic, there’s no harm in mindfully giving your current practices some thought.

1.What does the author mean by saying “I’m not alone” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A.He takes his iPhone for company.

B.He has many friends around him.

C.There’re many Americans like him.

D.Blogging brings him great pleasure.

2.According to Paragraph 3, the author _________.

A.was quite confused about some apps

B.became hopelessly addicted to his iPhone

C.was afraid of spending more time on his iPhone

D.never dressed himself by checking the weather app

3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on?

A.Why the author’s productivity levels dropped.

B.Why the author finally had phone dependency.

C.How the author bravely corrected his mistakes.

D.How the author’s life was negatively affected.

4.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?

A.Persuade people to live a no-phone life.

B.Advise people to use their phones reasonably.

C.Inspire people to consider their roles in life again.

D.Urge people to devote their spare time to screens.

    In a national survey, just 1 in 3 students thought that smoking on some days, but not others, can cause a lot of harm. This smoking pattern is common. It is also dangerous. In fact, its health risks are about the same as smoking heavily, report Stephen Amrock and Michael Weitzman. Their new study’s findings show that most kids do not see risks in smoking the occasional (偶尔的) cigarette.

For their study, Amrock and Weitzman analyzed data from the 2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey. It had probed (探究) tobacco-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors in 24,658 students. All were in grades 6 through 12 and lived throughout the 50 U. S. states and the district of Columbia.

Most teens knew that heavy smoking can be harmful. About 2 in every 3 students recognized that smoking even just a few cigarettes each day can be harmful (有危害的). Only 1 in3 students, however, recognized that occasional—non-daily—smoking is harmful. Among teens who smoke this way—intermittently—just 1 out of every 7 understood their habit was dangerous.

Occasional smoking is not safe, so “we really need to have a conversation” with whoever thinks otherwise, notes Dave Dobbins. He heads research and public education at Legacy, a group based in Washington, D. C. It encourages teens to reject tobacco. “Intermittent smoking carries lots of risks,” Dobbins explains. These include the chance that light use will progress to heavier smoking. “We explain to kids that light smoking is smoking,” says Dobbins, who was not connected with the study. And, he adds, his group points out that “the dangers begin right away”.

Adults who are light or intermittent smokers are those most willing and able to quit. Amrock and Weitzman note. Most smokers start by age 18. That’s why the NYU School of Medicine researchers suggest anti-smoking efforts should target youth who today are light or occasional smokers.

1.What’s the text mainly about?

A.Occasional smoking. B.Health and smoking.

C.The number of smokers. D.Anti-smoking efforts.

2.Where can you find the data showing students’ views on different smoking patterns?

A.In Paragraph 1. B.In Paragraph 3.

C.In Paragraph 2. D.In Paragraph 4.

3.What’s the meaning of the underlined “intermittently” in Paragraph 3?

A.Heavily. B.Continuously.

C.Occasionally. D.Purposefully.

4.Dave Dobbins agrees that ________.

A.dangers of kids’ light smoking appear in no time

B.light smoking is sure to result in heavy smoking

C.most teens have realized the risks of light smoking

D.light smokers are likely to quit smoking naturally

    Constantin Levaditi was born in Galati, Romania in 1874. His family was poor and his father was a Greek immigrant who worked in the Galati port and his mother was Romanian. When he was only six years old he had to start working in a shop as both of his parents fell ill. His job was to deliver orders from his uncle’s shop.

After two years his parents died and he was taken into care by one of his relatives who worked as a nurse in a hospital. His relative noticed that he was very smart and sent him to school. After graduating from high school, he decided to study at the medical school in Bucharest where he studied under Professor Victor Babes.

Levaditi became a doctor in 1902 and then he specialized in researching tuberculosis (结核病) in Paris at the Louis Pasteur Institute and to Frankfurt, at the Experimental Therapy Institute. He also managed to contribute to the invention of the anti-polio vaccine (消除小儿麻痹症的疫苗) in1913.

Levaditi returned to Romania in 1919 as a researcher to teach at university but Romanian universities did not accept him as he criticized Romania’s national health system and its political parties. He often said that it was not acceptable that the government did not care for its people and that there were not enough doctors and hospitals. Thus, he returned to France to continue his research in 1920. That same year he was invited to lead the Rockefeller Institute in New York but he refused.

In 1926 Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素) and other medicines.

Fuerteventura, Spain

Fuerteventura is a great place awaiting your discovery. Here are some reasons.

La Concha beach

Located in northeastern Fuerteventura are a number of family-friendly beaches. One of the most popular is La Concha, which is dressed in white sand and beautified with calm water. The beach is close to the town and at sunset, most tourists rush to see the skies turn beautiful colours in just a few short moments. At low tide (潮汐), small pools of water form, and these are great for the little members of the family to take a dive in. There are enough parking lots and plenty of restaurants to choose from.

Corralejo Natural Park

If you are looking to experience the desert nature of Fuerteventura, Corralejo Natural Park is the place to be. It is a coin with two sides. One is characterized by volcanic scenery, and the other is white sand that has been cleansed by the blue water of the Atlantic Ocean. Getting to the park can be easily done by road, but exploring it demands that you put on your hiking shoes and take a walk through the natural wonderland.

Costa Calma Beach

Costa Calma Beach is characterized by blue waters and white sand. The beach is not packed, so you will get a chance to be just with your thoughts as you sunbathe on the sand. When the winds are swift, Costa Calma turns into a hot spot for surfers, ideal for those looking to get a surfing course. The road leading to the beach is fenced by green plants meaning the magic starts even before you get there.

Cofete Beach

It’s hard to find a fitting description for this wild beach. Its shoreline is great for its golden sand and wild water. Getting to Cofete Beach is not easy: perhaps that’s why this place is still in its original state. The road has difficult spots that require expert driving skills. But, if you can tolerate it, you will be treated with some amazing views.

1.Which place is recommended for a family with kids?

A.Cofete Beach. B.Corralejo Natural Park.

C.Costa Calma Beach. D.La Concha Beach.

2.What can people do at Corralejo Natural Park?

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

My name is John and I must share with you an event which took place on Flight 1553 out of DCA. My wife and I were traveling to Miami to celebrate an achievement for her and as you can imagine, we were looking forward to fun, sun and laughter.

We boarded the aircraft, without a care in the world. It was cold in Washington and we were ready for Florida. Shortly after taking my seat, I began to feel sick. I knew something wasn't right but just couldn't find out what was happening .Being a doctor and a stubborn man, I resisted efforts by my wife to call for assistance. As the aircraft began its departure roll, I lost consciousness for a short amount of time. As I came around, I quickly realized a few things. Firstly, something very bad had happened to me .Secondly, the aircraft was too heavy with the fuel to go back home. Thirdly, my loss of consciousness had been so deep that I found myself out of control. So not only did I have a medical issue to deal with, but I also had to figure out how to deal with an embarrassing experience.

My wife gathered the crew as soon as it was safe to move about and I made my way to the washroom to attempt to clean up. I did my best and the flight crew members were so supportive,

checking on me often and reassuring me that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was their sympathy and support that helped me so much. During the flight they kept watching over me and I suddenly had a small group of nurse, bringing blankets, food, drinks and caring and smile. I was thankful to them.

Feeling Phone-overwhelmed?

Many people are feeling “phone-overwhelmed”, longing for a “simpler time” when smart -phones didn’t exist. Actually you don’t necessarily need to flush your brand-new iPhone down the toilet or vow to never, ever tweet again. Things don’t have to be that black or white.1.Here are a few simple steps.

Make a plan. To earn a college degree, you select specific classes happening at specific times and you attend them. This keeps you on track, moving steadily towards your goal.2. Choose specific times to check texts, social media updates, and so on, and then do your best to stick to the plan. Create phone-routines that help you to create the kind of day (and life) that you want.

Enjoy the sound of silence to the fullest. If your phone is continually bleeping and pinging every time “something happens,” it’s going to be tough for you to stay focused- you’ll be tempted to check in and see what's up! It may seem obvious to turn off those noisy notifications.3. You can also create a “call filter” so that certain people's calls come through even if your phone is on “silent. ” That way you can rest easy, knowing you won't miss something truly urgent.

4.. For many couples and families, dinnertime is the only time of the day when everyone is gathered together in one place Make dinner a special, sacred time without techie distractions. No phones at the table. If people get restless or bored, strike up an interesting conversation by playing a question game.

Ask yourself, What am I desiring right now? “When you feel the urge to check your phone, and you don’t really “need” to, pause for moment.5.Do you seek out company, entertainment or inspiration? Whatever you want, see if you can find a non-phone-related way to satisfy yourself Go for a jog, listen to music or pop by a friend’s house to say "hi "Feeding your spirit in the “real world”, you may discover that the “phone world” just isn't that appealing anymore.

A. Take some phone- free time

B Make dinnertime a phone-free zone

C. Check in with yourself and see what you want.

D. See how it feels to move freely without your phone.

E. You can apply that same logic to your smartphone usage

F. You can take specific steps to create healthier, more balanced relations of technology

G Better yet, turn the volume on your phone down to zero or power down your phone complete

    Imagine being a business that regularly takes huge quantities of your own products worth millions of pounds and burns them up. Your stock literally goes up in smoke. It sounds crazy, but the practice is common for some of the world's biggest clothing manufacturers .They argue that it is the most cost-effective way of maintaining their brand's exclusivity （独特性）.

The clothes that are burned are those that do not sell at a high enough price. Rather than watch them go on sale, the companies would set fire to them and regain a small amount of energy.

Nobody knows exactly how much unsold stock is burnt annually by those fashion houses, but burning clothes has various negative impacts on the environment. For example, burning clothes made from artificial fibers may release plastic microfibers into the atmosphere, which worsens global warming. A U.K. parliamentary committee report on sustainability and the fashion industry advises the government to ban the burning of unsold stock if it can be reused or recycled.

Actually, there are other approaches. What if those companies had a section tasked  with taking back unsold clothes, redesigning them into new products, and shipping out the new products to the market once again?

There is also now an opportunity to focus on biodegradable （可生物降解的）fabrics. Clothes that break down faster might not have to be burned. They would also appeal to those who care about the environmental impact of their own wardrobes.

Additionally, we have an over-production problem. According to the World Bank, while clothing sales have risen steadily since 2000, clothing utilization has fallen at roughly the same rate. For every extra T-shirt that is sold, it will be worn roughly half as much as it would have been 20 years ago. That means better forecasting market trends would in theory result in less waste.

Burning clothes won't happen simply through fashion firms. The scale of fashion production has to change. And it's important to recognize that these consumer-focused brands will only go where the market takes them. If protecting the environment really matters to the public, they have to make clear that they want more sustainable clothing in the first place. Without consumers demanding that, it won't change.

1.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about       .

A. how important the U.K. parliamentary committee report is

B. why fashion firms should end burning unsold stock

C. why fashion firms burn unsold clothes in large numbers every year

D. how artificial fabrics will contribute to global warming

2.The underlined expression "clothing utilization" in the 6th paragraph means     .

A. how long clothing lasts B. how well clothing sells

C. how often clothing is used D. how clothing is designed

3.All the following possible solutions are mentioned in the passage to deal with unsold clothes except       

A. Making consumers feel better about their purchases.

B. Redesigning and making them into new clothes.

C. Conducting research on market demand before production.

D. Making clothes out of environmentally-friendly materials.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Burning clothes is a better option for every fashion firm.

B. Consumers play a key role in stopping burning clothes.

C. The secret that some fashion firms burn clothes is well kept.

D. Today's clothes are better than those two decades ago.

    Limited to a narrow seat for hours with just a tiny bag of cookies and orange juice to comfort yourself, the last thing you feel like doing when you get off a plane is to wait around for your bags. The easy option when traveling has been to limit yourself to a carry-on suitcase and pray it fits in the overhead bin. Not only does it get you out of the airport faster but it's also free. Not any longer. however.

Recently, some airlines are starting to charge for carry-on bags, and travelers aren't at all happy about it Packing light might not be an option anymore when looking for tips to get the best airfare possible

Some smaller airlines such as Frontier and Spirit have always charged customers for carry-on bags, but now bigger name airlines, such as United, are starting to do it too. When you purchase a Basic Economy ticket through United you’re not allowed a full-size carry-on bag unless you’re a MileagePlus Premier member. Should you forget to check your bag before security and bring it all the way to the gate, not only will you pay the checked-bag fee, but you’ll have to pay an additional $25 gate handling charge. Not the best way to start off a trip. Don’t miss these additional things airlines don't want to tell you —but every flier should be aware of.

You might assume that the new carry-on bag guidelines are due to space limitations in the overhead bins, but it has more to do with on-time rates, Aviation economies expert and senior vice president of ICF Aviation Samuel Engel told Vox that the biggest bottleneck when it comes to boarding is carry-on luggage. For every minute a plane isn’t in the air, it's losing money. A delayed departure makes the flight crew look bad and passengers very angry.

So, the next time you fly, plan to check your bag before security, pay a bit more for your ticket so you are allowed a carry-on, or try rolling a week s worth of clothes into a backpack, a still-allowed “personal item.”

1.What does the first paragraph intend to convey?

A. People feel comfortable when they are taking a flight

B. People are unwilling to wait for their bags after getting off the plane

C. People tend to choose the carry-on suitcases for convenience.

D. People will no longer have the option for free carry-on suitcases

2.Which of the following is NOT the reason why more airlines begin to charge for carry-ons?

A. Space limitations. B. Passengers support

C. On-time rates D. Increasing budget.

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Carry-on bags are affecting on-time rates

B. What should you do before taking a flight?

C. Carry-on bags are increasing budget-busting delays

D. More Airlines are starting to charge for carry-on bags

    I started to worry when the golf car taking me, Steve, and our suitcases stopped in the middle of the Maine forest. A yurt is a tent tall enough to stand in and wide enough to fit a big family. But I didn’t see it anywhere.

“You hike from here ”said the driver, pointing down a weedy path. The woods were darkening and Steve encouraged me to pick up the pace. My summer sandals( 凉鞋 )slipped on the damp leaves. Steve and I spent a good hour until we spotted the light of white canvas--the yurt.

Steve skillfully lit a fire. We ate some sandwiches, had a few beers, and settled in for a good nights sleep. But I couldn't relax I shook Steve awake. The door to the yurt doesn’t lock, " I said. " What if a bear wanders Into the camp

"There, extra security He smiled. "And even if someone gets through the door, you’ll have time to grab that book and use it as a weapon. "I laughed. Sleep moved in. We could enjoy our weekend.

When “we checked out” three mornings later, I was the first one up. That s when I realized that the door opened out. The chair had been serving no purpose other than to keep me quiet.

So, "I said, as we walked heavily back to meet the golf car. "How else have you been handling me this weekend?

He smiled, “ Well, I decided not to tell you about the snake that lived in the firewood”.

Last summer, I am shopping in the heart of downtown when it began to rain heavy. All the streets were flooded and many cars and electric bicycles were trapping in deep water. Wore still, I found that a underground passage (通道) below a railway became the most danger place. I saw an old man in the rain warning people not pass. Seeing this, I ran into a nearby shop. He found a board there and wrote the following word on it: Keep off Danger! No Passing! Then holding the board, I joined with him to keep people from risk injury.
