Nowadays everybody seems to think that they know English. Many people speak it but few speak it really well. Practice is necessary in speaking English well.

Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the foundations and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.

Going to England or an English-speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I think it is very good to visit some English-speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life. You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English is going to improve even faster. Your ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!

Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent and do it every day. It is like playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see where it is going. Practice, Practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on your way when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence!

There is a certain atmosphere surrounding somebody who lives in Washington. Everybody seems to think that you know more about what is going on, and a fellow who makes his home in Washington can look forward to being invited to lots of parties.

I discovered this when I went up to New York recently. At the first dinner party, everyone was most interested in what was going on in Washington and I was quite honest and admitted I had no idea. Not only did this disappoint the people I was dining with, it also made them angry. They couldn’t believe that I didn’t know and assumed I wasn’t telling the truth.

When I was leaving, the hostess told me, “We didn’t expect you to tell us everything, but I see no reason why you have to protect the Administration.” I decided then I would have to come up with some inside information, or I would have to pay for my own meals in New York

So the next morning I went through all the morning papers and took time to watch TV for　 what had happened recently. When I arrived at the party, I was well prepared to discuss almost anything. “What do they say about taxes in Washington?”　 a lawyer asked.

“I’ve heard there will probably be a tax cut next year,” I said.

“Can you tell us what the President plans to do about Latin America?”

“I’m sorry!” I said, “There are some things the President discusses with me that I just can’t talk about in public.”

“Quite true,” the lawyer agreed, “You’ve probably told us more than you should anyway.”

For the next three days I had more invitations to dinner parties than I could accept. But it has been quite a strain. I have to go on reading so many newspapers and watching so many TV shows from Washington that sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the trouble.

1.At the first dinner party the people were disappointed and angry because________.

A.the author did not tell them the truth

B.the author refused to pay for the dinner

C.the author did not offer any inside information

D.the author showed no interest in what they discussed

2.How did the author get well prepared for the next party?

A.He tried to catch up on the latest events.

B.He had secret discussions with the President

C.He learned how to protect the Administration.

D.He consulted the lawyer about taxes in Washington.

3.What does the underlined word “strain” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Burden. B.Pleasure.

C.Shame. D.Responsibility.

Nowadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we have learnt. Regular drilling and repetition make perfect. But teachers have started to give too much homework. Anything in excess (过度) is bad.

Jane

What’s the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just makes them bookworms but nothing else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at home will just make them memorize things but not put them into use. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (归拢) the children with homework rather than making them get interested to understand what they learn. The same trend continues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an interview.

Sally

It is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be free in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired and we wouldn’t be able to pay attention to extra-curricular activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health. So please give less homework to us.

Johnson

It is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we won’t do our work. So I have to do that though I know such a teacher is not liked by students.

1.Who thinks that too much homework may do harm to students’ physical and mental health?

A. Sunny. 　　 B. Jane.

C. Sally.　　　 D. Johnson.

2.Who thinks homework should help students learn something practical?

A. Sunny.　　 　　 B. Jane.

C. Sally.　　　　 D. Johnson.

3.What problem do the speakers talk about?

A. Whether students should be punished without doing homework.

B. What kind of homework should be given to students.

C. What role homework plays in helping students to learn.

D. Whether teachers should give homework to students.

Many people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives. Sadly, they seem to think that their own company is not enough to make them happy. Nothing could be further from the truth though. In order to get along with others, the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy, solid relationships with others. How to develop?

Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth, it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.

Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading romantic novels, poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which can not only offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.

Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生)．Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy your daily schedule is, always find at least an hour per day for yourself, when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing, or doing something that you enjoy.

Learn to respect your own boundaries. Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept；no one else can point that out to you, or force you to compromise(妥协).

How important is Fashion? 1. Many people seem to think so, judging by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person．

2. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that create blisters (水泡), tight body shapers that limit blood flow, and sticky false eyelashes. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color and use hot irons and blow dryers to curl or straighten their hair. 3. Is fashion important enough to spend so much time and effort on changing how you look like?

If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. 4. People should prioritize (优先考虑) being healthy and positive. What people wear does not show anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a suit, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together! Instead of going on strict diets and starving, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise?5.

A.Fashion should not come first.

B.People spare no effort to become fashionable.

C.Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable?

D.People will often judge others based on what they wear.

E.Some people spend several hours a day in front of a mirror.

F.By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person．

G.Fashion is important for many reasons, including being a form of personal identity.
