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 sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar 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 passage 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 automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

1.According to the author, 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 grammar

D.copy as many words and sentences as possible

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

D.you should take notes of whatever you are hearing

4.The passage is mainly about how to _________.

A.choose suitable listening materials

B.deal with new words in reading

C.improve your English as quickly as possible

D.become fluent in speaking and writing English

Children really need to know some basic first aid skills. This is true whether your child is four or fourteen. So what should you teach your children?

Calling for help

Once your child reaches the age of four, he should know all about calling 911 in the event of an emergency. Explain all about what a real emergency is. For example, he should call 911 if an adult asks him to, if an adult passes out and cannot be woken, if there is a fire and he can’t find an adult, or if people are hurt.

As I am typing this, I just realized that although my kids are taught about 911, the telephones in the house are out of reach for all but my oldest child (to prevent the other two from playing with the phone). Don’t make this mistake yourself, or your children wouldn’t get in touch with the police in time.

Cuts and scrapes (擦伤)

Teach children about basic care for cuts and scrapes. In my house, the kids all know that cuts must be cleaned and know where the bandages are. They also know how to put pressure on a cut to make it stop bleeding. Of course they should ask an adult for help, but they should also know a bit about self care. Believe it or not, I had to help a teenage neighbor once who had no idea what to do when he cut his hand on broken glass. He just ran around in a circle.

Burns

Tell your child that if he ever gets a burn, he should immediately call for help and then run the cool but not cold water for the burn. Getting a burn cooled down quickly can reduce the damage to the skin. This is important if no adult is with your child when a burn occurs.

1.What should children be taught at 4 according to the author?

A.To call out parents’names. B.To get help from the police.

C.To know what a real emergency is. D.To remember some phone numbers.

2.What does the underlined part“this mistake”refer to?

A.Letting kids play with the phone. B.Stopping kids from using the phone.

C.Not telling kids to call 911. D.Keeping the phone out of kids’reach.

3.What does the example of the author’s teenage neighbor mainly tell us?

A.Getting help is very important. B.Even teenagers can cut their hands.

C.Not all teenagers are good at self care. D.We should be prepared to help others.

4.What should we do if we get a burn?

A.Look for the bandages. B.Put some ice on the burn.

C.Cool the burn under water. D.Wait for rescuers patiently.

5.What’s the text mainly for?

A.Kids. B.Parents. C.Teachers. D.Students
