Finally, I entered the university．Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then, summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic. Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.

When it comes to cultural heritage protection, the Grand Canal of China is probably the world’s greatest project of its kind. The big inland waterway system in the north-eastern and central eastern plains passes through eight of the country’s present-day provinces.
The Canal runs from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang Province in the south. Constructed in sections from the 5th century BC onwards, it was designed as a means of communication in the 7th century AD. The Canal is the world’s greatest civil engineering project before the Industrial Revolution.
The Grand Canal reached a peak in the 13th century, providing an inland navigation(航行) network consisting of more than 2,000 kilometers of artificial waterways, linking five of the most important river basins in China, including the Yellow River and the Yangtze. It entered a bid as a UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) cultural heritage site in 2008.
The Grand Canal cultural square is located in Beijing’s Tongzhou district. Ever since the Yuan dynasty 800 years ago, the Tongzhou section of the Grand Canal has been the life blood of Beijing. Grain and building materials were all transported to meet the endless demands of the big cities. Even today, the Grand Canal plays a major role in the lives of its citizens.
"I grew up near the Grand Canal. In the past the waterway was a lot narrower, but now it’s nice and wide and bridges are built over it. I think if the bid for world heritage status succeeds, it will greatly make Tongzhou more famous in the world, especially with Tongzhou aiming to be a sub-center of the capital Beijing," a citizen said.
The result of the bid is set to be released next week, and no doubt it will certainly make it into the history books if the Canal is listed as a world heritage site.
1.It can be concluded from the passage that .
A. The bid’s result of the Canal will be announced soon
B. the Canal is the UNESCO’s newest world heritage site
C. the Canal is to connect Tongzhou with Zhejiang Province
D. the Canal will be a bid for a UNESCO cultural heritage site
2.The Grand Canal was in the most glorious time .
A. when it was aimed as a means of communication
B. when it crossed the Yellow River and the Yangtze
C. when it was born about six hundred years later
D. when it was designed as an artificial waterway
3.What can we infer by reading the passage?
A. Tongzhou used to be the capital of the Yuan dynasty.
B. Most citizens living in Tongzhou depend on the Canal.
C. Tongzhou will benefit if the Canal is made a heritage site.
D. Some citizens think the Canal not to be a cultural heritage item.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神)and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these， it will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地)；the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密),and today is a gift: that's why we call it "the present". Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

So you think you know your dog. But how well does your dog know you? She probably recognizes you when she sees you. But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face? Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.
Dogs are very mindful of sound. When dog owners shout or speak in a strong, harsh(刺耳的) voice, dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area. Researchers have found that dogs can look at our faces, and tell the difference between a smile and a frown. The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval.
Researchers performed a series of experiments. They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions. They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper of lower half of a person’s face. On one picture, the person looked happy. The other appeared angry. The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before. They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training. Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry, they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face.
Corsin Muller, who led the study, says future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions—for example, whether a frown shows that someone is angry. “What we can say with our study is that they can tell these ones are different. But what we cannot be sure of at this point is what exact meaning they are associating with these different expressions.”
“Of course it seems likely that they would associate (联系)some positive meanings with the smiley face and they would associate some rather negative meanings with the angry face. But what exactly they are associating with these expressions we cannot know at this point.” Corsin says.
1.The passage tells us mainly about _____________.
A. how dogs communicate with each other
B. What are the best ways to train our dogs
C. Why it’s necessary to know our pet dogs well
D. whether dogs can recognize our facial expressions

D. will feel guilty if their owner frowns
3.According to Corsin Muller, it’s been proven that dogs know_____________.
A. the exact meaning of a frown
B. a frown is an angry expression
C. human looks carry different meanings
D. a smiley face may have negative meanings
4.In which part of a website does the text probably appear?

How to Avoid Mistakes in the IELTS Test
Many students, some with very good English skills, take the academic IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test and fail to achieve the score they expected or hoped for. In order to avoid this, it is important to have an understanding of what you need to do in each part of the exam and have some basic strategies. 1.
Don’t give very short answers
Don’t just answer "yes" or "no" to questions. The examiner needs to hear you speak, so always give extra information.
For example, for part 1:
Q: Do you have a big family?
A: Yes, I do. I have my parents, and I also have three brothers and two sisters. My aunt lives with us as well. 2.It can be quite noisy in our house, but it’s still a lot of fun!
3.
It is important to extend your answers, but at the same time you must be answering the question or talking about things related to the topic. You won’t gain extra marks for talking for the sake of it, if it has nothing to do with what you have been asked!
Listen carefully
Always listen carefully to what the examiner asks you. Again, you aren’t be expected to be talking about something different to what you are asked.
4.
If you don’t understand a question or you don’t hear it, then ask the examiner to repeat it. There is nothing wrong with needing to do this a few times during the test.
Talk for two minutes
It is OK to give extra information, so feel free to tell the examiner everything you can think about the topic. 5.You can plan what you say in the 1-minute preparation time and think of what extra information you can give.
A. Keep to the topic
B. Ask if you don’t understand
C. Think carefully before speak
D. There is no need to talk too much.
E. So I would say that is quite a large family.
F. But remember you need to speak fluently and clearly.
G. In this article, I will provide you with speaking strategies.
