Few people realize that there is a big difference between formal English and informal English. Formal English is used for most writing, and often in public speaking and formal meetings. It pays close attention to grammar rules, because if we use proper grammar, our meaning is often more precise. Also, on important occasions, we do not want to appear uneducated or to offend (冒犯) others, so we are very careful about how we speak. Informal English is used in speaking or writing to our friends and family. It often does not pay such close attention to grammar rules, because when we speak or write to them, we want our words to flow quickly. Also, with our friends and family, we are usually not so worried about appearing uneducated or about offending them by how we write or speak.
A big difference between formal and informal English is the use of contractions. A contraction is where we make a word shorter or where we put two words together and take away some of the letters. For example, instead of saying “do not”, many people say “don’t”. Using contractions in our speech is fine because it sounds natural, especially when we speak to our friends. In formal writing, however, contractions are usually avoided because people might think that you have made a mistake, or that you do not know proper grammar.
In the same way we might make words shorter, in informal English we often make sentences shorter as well. For example, if someone asks you your name, you will likely answer with one word: your first name. However, in formal English we usually use complete sentences. For example, we might write “My name is John”. In most speaking, we may not need to use every word in a sentence because the person we are speaking to will probably still understand us. In most writing, however, every word in a sentence must be written out in order to make sure that we can be understood.
1.When we use formal English, _______.
A．we will offend others
B．we will appear educated on important occasions
C．we needn’t pay more attention to grammar rules
D．we can express ourselves more directly and more quickly
2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “precise”?
A．clear B．direct C．puzzling D．simple
3.Contractions are best used when we are _______.
A．speaking at a formal meeting B．speaking in public
C．speaking to our friends D．writing an application (申请) letter
4.In speaking, we do not always use complete sentences because ______.
A．we do not care about grammar B．we do not want to sound stupid
C．we can still be understood D．we don’t want to waste time

Have you imagined that planting trees can make a big difference? People say that one man can’t make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw (人力车) driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.
Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree every day. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also waters them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.
Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioner’s office. They have no land of their own.
Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn’t listen. Abdul’s 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.
Abdul’s neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.
For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1,253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.
“I can’t do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech.
1.What do we know about Abdul?
A.He doesn’t support his family. B.He plants trees with his own money.
C.He makes a living by doing different jobs. D.He plants trees to win his neighbors’ praise.
2.Why does Abdul plant trees on government land?
A.To get money from government.
B.To set a good example to people.
C.To protect them from being cut down.
D.To get a place from government to build his own house.
3.Which of the following can best describe Abdul?
A.Poor but helpful. B.Rich and reliable.
C.Uncaring and stupid. D.Active but dishonest.
4.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Driving a rickshaw. B.Planting trees.
C.Making big money. D.Building a better home.

Do you know the differences between African and Asian elephants？African elephants have larger ears，and both male and female African elephants have tusks（象牙）while only male Asian elephants have tusks.
African elephants have very useful trunks！Since they live where it’s always really hot，they get a trunk full of water and spray it on their backs. Then，they do the same thing with dust. The ends of their trunks work like little fingers. They use them to pick berries，grass，and other plants to eat. To drink，African elephants can suck up to two gallons of water in their trunks，then blow it into their mouths. If they sense danger，they use their trunks to make a loud warning sound. They even hug other elephants with their trunks.
Do you know that the closest relative of elephants are manatees（海牛）？They can weigh up to 1，300 pounds and they are good swimmers. If they’re in really shallow water，they use their front flippers（鳍状肢）to walk while they eat sea plants and grasses. Because they are so slow and like warm，shallow water，manatees often get hurt by a part of the boat when the drivers don’t see them.
Manatees are sea mammals like whales and dolphins. They live in water，but they need to breathe air，so they often go to the surface of water. They can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes.
1.From Paragraph 1 we know that＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. male African elephants have longer tusks than female one

2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A. The way African elephants drink and eat.
B. How African elephants use their trunks for protection
C. The shape of African elephants’ trunks.
D. The use of African elephants’ trunks.
3.Why do manatees often go to the surface of water？
A. Because they can stay underwater for only 5 minutes.
B. Because they want to watch out for danger.
C. Because they need to breathe air.

Do you know what a big dream is? 1. Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 2. Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
3.
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 4. In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 5.
A. Family and Friends
B. How Big Dreams Die
C. Does a big dream show one’s future?
D. They simply fail until they succeed.
E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong
F. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.
