You may have heard of the popular saying, “Practice makes perfect.” But have you ever wondered whether it's really true? Does practice always make perfect?

Sometimes practice does make perfect. Take a math test for example. If you know you're going to have a math test in a week, you can keep doing math exercises before the test. If you get a full mark on your test, that's perfect and you can say the practice helped get you there.

However, in some other fields of life, practice doesn't always make perfect. It doesn't mean that practice is useless. Sometimes it just means that there's no such thing as "perfect in a certain field. For example, if you play sports or a musical instrument, there are no perfect games or perfect shows. It all depends on what you consider to be perfect."

Even if practice doesn't always make perfect, it almost always makes you better than you were before practicing. The more you practice something, the better you are at it.

1.The writer takes a math test for example to ________.

A.explain what is perfect B.encourage us to practice less

C.show practice can help us a lot D.make us believe nothing is perfect

2.Why doesn't practice make perfect sometimes?

A.Because practice is useless. B.Because there isn't a certain standard.

C.Because life is difficult for us. D.Because we can never get a full mark.

3.What does the writer talk about in the text?

A.Practice never makes perfect. B.It's easy and fun to be perfect.

C.How to practice for perfection? D.Does practice always make perfect?

You may have heard the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Since lemons are thought to be bitter(苦的)and lemonade sweet, the saying tells you to make the best out of a bad situation.

Unluckily, when something bad happens, it's not uncommon for most people to talk about it to anyone who'll listen, and complain about life, "Why me?" That's like getting a bag of lemons, putting them down, and thinking, "Lemons taste bad! I'd rather have chocolate!'' If you don't make anything with the lemons, they will go bad. But what if you did something with them? What if you made lemonade? Isn't it possible to do something similar with a bad situation?

Here's an example: Let's say you're about to go to the movie, but you discover you have a flat tire(瘪胎).You think it a terrible thin. After all, you are really looking forward to spending some time with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Now you're all stressed out. hating the tire, the car, and your life. But what if you called AAA, got your tire fixed or got caught up on things that you'd been meaning to do? What if you did some reading. or had coffee with a friend instead? As awful experience can be turned into something better. You can't change what has happened, right? So make the best of it. I'm not saying it will be easy. The easy thing to do is complain about your bad situation　 and not think about what it could be turned into.

Next time when some bad things happen, stop and think, "How can I turn this around? How can I make it a nice experience ?" You needn't fear difficulties. As long as you keep on changing it, you will see the good at last.

1.What do we know about the saying in Paragraph 1?

A. It is encouraging.　　 B. It is humorous.　　 C. It is amazing.　　 D. It is interesting.

2.What does most people usually do when something bad happens?

A. Accept it.　　 B. Ask for help.

C. Complain about it.　　 D. Find out the reasons.

3.The writer uses the example of seeing a movie to tell us 　　　　　 .

A. a flat tire happens sometimes　　 B. it is all right to make mistakes

C. it is a very wonderful thing to meet film stars　　 D. bad things can be turned into good things

You may have heard of the famous saying, “East or west, home is the best.”

What does the word “home” mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is “ different from country to country and from person to person”. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking ,eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside.

A proverb (谚语) is a short, well known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.

In American history, Benjamin Franklin was a scientist, inventor and writer as well as a leader of the American Revolution. 1.

Franklin wrote a book called “Poor Richard’s Almanac”. 2. Some of them are still used today, like this one, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” 3.

Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. The first ones are about love. Some people say, “All is fair in love and war.” They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.

4. In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.

Here is another popular saying about love, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a man’s love if she prepares his favorite food.

“5.” This proverb is true in love and war or other situations. It means that what you do is more important than what you say.

We have to stop here, so we must say, “All good things must come to an end.”

A.Actions speak louder than words.

B.Another proverb says “Love is blind.”

C.He was also famous for his proverbs.

D.You can spend your money on anything that you like.

E.He included many proverbs that he had heard or created.

F.Love can make us friends as well as angels.

G.This means that money should not be wasted.

You may have heard the saying, women are from Venus(金星) and men are from Mars (火星). It's a nice way of saying how men and women are quite different from each other in many ways.

These differences can be seen everywhere, even in how we communicate with friends. A recent study by the University of Oxford suggested that men and women keep relationships with friends far away in different ways.

Researchers questioned 30 students about their friendships just before they left for college. They followed up the questions nine months, and then 18 months later Robin Dunbar, who headed the research, told that how long friendships among women last depended on whether they made an effort to talk more to each other on the phone. Men, on the other hand, tended to (倾向于) do things differently. They went through months of not being with friends by planning meet-ups (见面) sometimes. This was the biggest difference between men and women.

Of course, gender (性别)isn't the only thing that influences how we stay in touch. The way we keep our friendships also depends on the preference(偏好) of each person, and it can take a while to find your own way of making your friendships work. One thing that is pretty clear though is that friends who make the effort to keep in touch, even if it's only through Wechat(微信)once a week, do tend to stay friends, no matter how far it is.

1.Did researchers question 30 high school students about their friendships?

________________________________________________________

2.How did women keep their friendships according to the research?

________________________________________________________

3.What's the passage mainly about?

________________________________________________________

4.Do you think it's a good way for teenagers to keep friendships by planning meet-ups often? Why or why not?
