Every day，it is easy to see advertisements in English all around us．Look at your own bags and clothes，and at the bags and clothes of your classmates．How many different advertisements can you see which use English words?

Often bags and clothes show the name of the company that made them．This is a popular form. A special picture or symbol called a logo(标识语) is sometimes used Logos appear on many different products. They are popular because when you see a logo, it is hard to forget that product or company.

It is common to see advertisements on TV and hear them on the radio. Most advertisements are very short sometimes. The advertisers use a short sentence which is easy for people to say and remember. Nike, for example, has a simple English sentence which is used all around the world: “Just do it.” Advertisements often use funny situations as well. It is simple to remember it.

All advertisements are designed to make people buy a product. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of young people who are having fun. The young people are all drinking the soft drink. Advertisers are saying to you, “Why don’t you buy this drink and be like these people? You can be young and modern.”

You might think that advertisements are not after you, but the next time you buy a soft drink, ask yourself this question：Why am I buying this particular product?

If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar(不熟悉) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.

As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.

If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.

1.According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?

A.Reading and listening. B.Reading and writing

C.Writing and speaking. D.Speaking and listening.

2.To improve your reading, when you read you should ______.

A.look up all the new words in the dictionary

B.think about what you are reading actively

C.spend more time studying grammars

D.copy as many words and sentences as possible

3.The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “______”.

A.hear B.discover C.meet by accident D.look for

4.The passage is mainly about how to ______.

A.choose suitable listening materials

B.deal with new words in reading

C.become fluent in speaking and writing English

D.improve your reading ability as quickly as possible

5.The author seems to agree with the view that____.

A.everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day

B.you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day.

C.you should take notes of whatever you are hearing.

D.being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening.

If your family or group of friends loves to bike,then a bike trip makes a perfect vacation. 1.Because you move more slowly on a bike,you have a chance to really sink into your environment,observing wildlife and views that you might miss otherwise.

As you plan your trip,the biggest decision to make is how far you'd like to travel each day.If you have unskilled bikers or kids in your group,you'll probably all be happiest if you keep your mileage goals fairly modest.2.

3. You can book campsites ahead of time at campgrounds along the way, and ride into camp as late as you like. Keep in mind that some camping equipment is heavy. Invest in a light-weight tent,and light-weight inflatable pads(充气垫）for under your sleeping bag.Dehydrated food also helps keep the weight down.

If you're going to be traveling on trails at all,you'll want to ride a mountain bike during your trip.On the other hand,if your whole route is wholly along roads,you can ride a lighter-weight street bike.Or,you can put heavier-weight tires on a street bike.4.

Biking is a great way to see the country,and if you have a lot of time,you can cover quite a bit of distance.Over the course of a multi- week trip,you'll get stronger and you'll be able to go further in one day.5. If your trip is a long one,you might want to rest a day or two early in your travels to give your body some rest.

A.An easy way to travel is to camp along the way.

B.Check in with your local bike shop for suggestions on tire weight.

C.Taking a bike trip is not only convenient but also beneficial to our health.

D.Be sure to bring the contact information and directions for each campground.

E.But a group of more experienced bikers can make more serious mileage goals.

F.Seeing the world from the seat of a bike is a wonderful way to experience new places.

G.Bear in mind, though, that early in the trip you'll start every day feeling tired from the day before.

Not all English is the same

To many learners of English, it’s easy to think that all native speakers have no trouble communicating with one another.

1.

Well, it turns out that being a native English speaker from one country doesn’t mean that you’re able to perfectly understand a native English speaker from another country, and vice versa (反之亦然)

Take the UK and the US for example.

As a Briton, I grew up hearing American accents alongside British ones – on TV shows, movies and in songs.2. and how they would eat “cookies” instead of “biscuits”.　 And it took me a while to figure out that the “trunk” (n. 后备箱) of a car is what us Britons call its “boot”.

The confusion didn’t stop at just vocabulary –3. For example, when talking about shopping malls, Americans pronounce it “mawl” instead of “mal”. And for some reason that’s hard for Britons to understand, Americans remove the “H” sound from “herb”, pronouncing it “erb”.

These small differences may not change much in a day-to-day conversation between a Briton and an American.4. Recently, for example, an American friend told me that she liked my pants. “You can see them?” I asked, shocked. Pants means “underpants” to most British people, which explains my horror.

5. In the US, for example, a “bum” is a homeless person, while the same word in the UK is used to describe one’s backside（n.臀部）.

And, more amusingly, “trump” was only ever really used as a verb in the UK – meaning “to pass gas” – until the US’ current president came into the spotlight.

But as long as you can speak one version of English, it’s easy enough to understand any other – and any confusion just makes your day more interesting.

A. English is changing as it spreads around the world.

B. After all, English is English, isn’t it?

C. I soon noticed how Americans would put “gas” in their cars instead of “petrol” .

D. However, confusion can still happen every now and then.

E. There are different words that mean the difficult thing.

F. Some words can even be offensive (adj.无礼的) without you realizing it.

G. I discovered that many words are even pronounced differently.

Easy ways to have the best day ever

Having to set an alarm every day to wake up early is an awful feeling. So what if you could wake up in the morning and be ready to take the day on head first? Well, it takes just several simple steps. Wake up, and be awesome!

Get ready the night before.

The first approach to becoming a morning person and ensuring you have an amazing day is getting ready the night before. Keep your bags ready to go, filled with a snack for the day and all your belongings. 1.

Eat breakfast.

There is no denying that the best way to feel and look good for the entire day is by eating your breakfast. Just eat something, a breakfast bar or even a piece of fruit. 4. Your body needs food to keep it going and a hungry stomach puts you in the worse mood.

There is a common ,usually round object that you can see every day and it appears in many expressions—buttons! Buttons, which are made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.

To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say the expression dates from the late 1860s.

Here is another expression associated with button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.

When buttoning a button, you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped him in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t stand it any longer. You tell him to button it! This is a direct, but a little rude way of saying “Stop talking!”Button your lip is another equally rude way to stop a person who talks too much.

Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know how to get that person annoyed or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons.

1.What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?

A. Crazy.　　 B. Traditional.

C. Funny.　　 D. Fashionable.

2.What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?

A. Be cute as a button.

B. Push your button.

C. Button your lip.

D. Be button-down.

3.How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop?

A. By giving examples.

B. By making contrasts.

C. By listing figures.

D. By analyzing cause and effect.

4.What does the underlined phrase in paragraph mean?[

A. Shouts loudly.

B. Learns of one’s secret.

C. Gets someone to lose his temper.

D. Argues with someone.
