What do you write down? For most of us, writing consists of emails, task lists and perhaps the odd work project. However, making time to write down certain things, such as our daily experiences and feelings, can help us in our life.

The following are some different ways that writing things down can change your life.

It clears your mind for higher-level thinking.

David Allen, productivity speaker and author of Getting Things Done, recommends doing what he calls a “core dump”. This involves writing down every task, activity, and project you need to address. This could range from picking up milk on the way home, to a multi-person project at work. Writing down every ‘to-do’ item you can think of clearing space in your head for more important topics.

It helps you process your emotions.

Writing down what’s on your mind is a great way to work through inner conflict or process your feelings around a particular situation. It’s similar to talking a situation through with a friend, and it’s a useful way of strengthening your self-soothing (自我安慰) abilities.

It gives you a record of the past.

If you keep a diary and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings, you’ll soon have a record of your experiences that you might otherwise have forgotten. Keeping a diary can also enhance your levels of self-trust. When you can look back and see how successfully you’ve done in the past, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to do so in the future.

You gain a sense of achievement.

If you write down everything you need to do in a particular day or week, you gain an additional sense of satisfaction. When having completed the task, you can cross the item off our list. Feeling productive enhances your productivity and fosters a sense of achievement and progress.

1.Can writing down things help us in our daily life?　

2.How many ways can writing down things help us change our life?

3.According to David Allen’s idea, what does a “core dump” mean?

4.What is the advantage of keeping a diary?　　

5.What is the passage mainly about?

What is a hurricane?

You may already know that hurricanes are storms that can cause devastating (毁灭性的) waves, wind, and rain. They happen during “Hurricane Season,” which is from June 1st until November 30th in the Atlantic Ocean and from May 15th until November 30th in the Pacific Ocean.

　　 Types of Hurricanes

There are five types of hurricanes, which are based on wind speeds. The categories help people know how much damage a hurricane may cause because the greater the wind speed, the more dangerous the storm. For example, a Category 5 hurricane has winds over 155 miles per hour, which are strong enough to destroy the buildings along the shorelines completely.

Hurricane Dangers

When a hurricane happens together with heavy rainfall, there can be a devastating flood. The centre of a hurricane is called the eye. While most of a hurricane has dangerously strong winds, the eye is actually a calm area in the storm. When the eye of a hurricane passes over land, people might think that it’s over, but before long the wind and rain increase again as the second part of the hurricane moves through.

Hurricane Safety Tips

There is no way to stop a hurricane or make it change direction, so if you ever find yourself in the path of a hurricane, be sure to remember the following safety tips.

Be sure you have a radio, batteries, fresh drinking water, and enough food.

Tell neighbours, friends, and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you’ll go if you need to leave your home.

If you live near the ocean, leave your home and travel to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or a family member, in a hotel／motel, or in an emergency shelter area.

Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured if you go outside.

Charter schools in the US operate with public money but without many of the rules that govern traditional public schools. In the United States the rules for charter schools are different from state to state. But in general these schools have greater freedom to decide what and how to teach.

A charter school might have nothing to do with the local public school system. It might be started by teachers, parents, community groups or a profit-making business.

Forty-seven million students go to traditional public schools. And more than a million students go to charter schools.

And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network. The idea is to have environment friendly school buildings but also to go further than that.

The schools teach students to give lots of time and attention to the community problems that affect them and the environment. For example, young children grow vegetables in a school garden and learn about healthy eating. Older students help recycle waste from restaurants. And local schools share what they grow in community gardens with people in need.

Jim McGrath is president of the Green Charter Schools Network. He says there are about two hundred “green” charter schools across the United States. And the Green Charter Schools Network holds its first national conference this October in Minnesota. Supporters of green schools say their goal is to let the movement be popular across the country.

1.. Are the rules for charter schools the same in the US?

2.. How many students go to charter schools?

3.. What do students in charter schools often do?

4.. Do teachers teach students to protect the environment or to know the Network?

5.. Why do supporters hope charter schools to be popular across the country?

Perhaps once you got free plastic bags when you shopped at the supermarket. But now things have changed already.

Since June 1, 2008, China has stopped its shops and supermarkets from providing free plastic bags. Shoppers have to pay for bags if they need them. “We hope it will encourage people to use cloth bags and baskets for their vegetables,” said a spokesman from the Chinese government. “Plastic bags have led to a big waste of energy and on the other hand, they pollute(污染) the air, rivers and soil. It takes around 1000 years for the bags to break down（分解）. They are also dangerous to wildlife, which eats them without knowing.”

A large number of Chinese people have begun to make their own cloth bags. Li Linwei, a student in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, made a cloth bag out of an old dress of her mother’s. “ I have given it to my grandmother as a Mother’s Day present. From now on, she will use it when she goes shopping.” said the girl.

Decide what you are able to give. Yes! Sometimes it isn't only money—you can donate your time as a volunteer, you can donate your knowledge teaching poor children, you can donate your old clothes, you can donate food or you can share a meal with a hungry child.

Tell people about it. Tell your friends or your children. Put it in your blog（博客） or on your website. In this way, the good work you do will be multiplied (增加)!

How do you get on with your teachers? Every day, we spend hours with our teachers at school. We learn from them, and they teach us to be good people. The relationship between students and teachers is very important.

　　　 Teachers care about our studies and lives, and it seems they know everything about the subjects they teach. They also have the right to decide who should be the class leaders or represent the class to take part in the activities.

　　　 So, many students want to be the teacher’s pet. We show teachers great respect. In class, we obey the rules and keep quiet if the teacher doesn’t ask us to speak. We seldom have opinions different from our teachers'. When they make a mistake, we are afraid to point it out. Some of us don’t want to contact teachers after class because we don’t want to bother them.

　　　　 At American schools, the situation is a little different. Teachers and students are more like friends. Calling a teacher by his or her name is common. In class, students express their opinions freely and challenge teachers when they don’t agree. If it turns out that a teacher made a mistake, the teacher will say "sorry" in front of the whole class. Students and teachers also communicate through e-mail, Facebook or Twitter after class. They chat about studies and life experiences.　　　　

Teachers are like our parents and our friends. So we should respect our teachers.

Do you know who is the president of the USA now? Your answer is “Obama, right?” Next, let’s have a look at his growing experience. Ten-year-old Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The young boy didn’t look the same as most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people. “I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince, but I kept asking myself who I was,” said Obama.

However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Barack Obama became the first black president in U.S. history. Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His father is an African(非洲人) and his mother is a white American. This unusual background made him want to know who he was. With the help of his friends, Obama finally went to college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard University, a famous university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Later, he became the third black senator(议员) in U.S. history.

During his competition for U.S. president, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than a white America or a black America. Obama’s success is a historic victory(胜利). It made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his character.

You can study the English language for years but still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Native speakers say a lot of things, but you can’t find them in any dictionary. Well, don’t worry. Here’s a secret for you: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either!

There are different local accents (口音) across the UK, and a number of areas have several different accents, that is, they have their own vocabulary and phrases. There were at least six different accents born to London the last time I counted.

Worse than that, it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. For example, a language and its accents often change across class or level of education. Another example is how language can differ among age groups in the UK. The words and pronunciation used by young people in the UK can be completely different compared with those used by adults. They are creating a “yoof culture”.

The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Some people don’t consider “yoof” to be a positive term since its pronunciation is easier and lazier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concept and identity.

When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the examining of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression. Even though certain groups of society feel threatened (威胁) by “yoof culture”, new words come and go like fashions.

So learners should have no fear about communicating with native speakers. Even British people don’t speak English properly! The UK no longer owns the English language.
