Answer the following questions.

World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945. Life changed for everybody, including women and children because of the war. Millions of people lost their lives during the war. The Diary of a Young Girl was a record of that time. The book was written by a girl named Anne Frank.

Anne Frank was born in Germany in June 1929. Because the German Nazis(纳粹分子) hated the Jews(犹太人) and wanted to kill them, her family had to move to another country. In July 1942, they went into hiding in a secret place in her father’s office. During that difficult time, Anne kept writing diaries until she and her family were found by the Nazis in August, 1944. They were caught and sent to a Nazi camp. The next year, her mother died. In the same year, she and her elder sister died of illness, before the war ended.

After the war, her father collected her diaries and the book The Diary of a Young Girl came out in 1947. It has been put into over 30 languages since then. The book has been read by people all over the world. In her diary, Anne wrote down her thoughts, her feelings, her hopes and her dreams for the future, “I want the diary to be my friend, and I’m going to call this friend Kitty.” “I can’t spend all day complaining because it’s impossible to have any fun! ... Every day, I feel the beauty of nature and the goodness of the people around me. With all that, why should I be sad?”

The Diary of a Young Girl has also become a symbol of the greatness of the human spirit. It is called one of the wisest and most moving records on war.

Some Americans are poor at speaking foreign languages. It’s a fact. In any city around the world, you can find American tourists asking for the restaurant menu in English. At best, they will try to say a couple of phrases they ______ from a phrase book, but they will stop making an effort the moment they discover the waiter knows a little English.

I read a survey once that found that only 20 percent of Americans could speak a language other than English in their own homes. So ______ is this? I think laziness is possibly the key factor(因素). There is a general feeling among Americans that “Everyone speaks English nowadays, so it’s not worth learning other languages.” In multinational companies(跨国公司), English is often the official language of communication within the company. ______, Americans who live abroad can always find other American people to talk to or to watch American TV with – all reasons for never bothering to learn the local language.

The situation in American schools doesn’t help. In 1997, about 75 percent of American public middle schools offered foreign languages. Today, that number has ______ to 58 percent. And even the few students who study foreign languages at school don’t spend as many ______ of classes as students in other countries. I think it is also a ______ that American children don’t study English grammar any more, which makes it more difficult for them to learn the grammar of another language.

It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking. That number is increasing. Seven in ten of those deaths are in developing countries. These numbers are frightening(令人恐惧的).

Yet people around the world continue to smoke. The Great American Smokeout has been founded for twenty-five years to show the dangers of smoking and provide support for people who decide to stop smoking. The American Cancer Society says all cigarettes damage the body. It warns that smoking even a small number of cigarettes is dangerous. It is not easy to give up smoking forever. However, doctors say they probably will live longer if they do stop smoking. They will feel better and look better. They also will protect the health of family members who breathe their smoke.

The American Cancer Society says there is not just one right way to stop smoking. Any useful way to stop smoking is worth tying. They may take long walks or spend time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, they could eat a small piece of fruit instead of having a cigarette.

The American Cancer Society says the sooner smokers stop smoking, the more they can reduce their risks of getting cancer and other diseases. It says blood pressure(血压)returns to normal twenty minutes after smoking the last cigarette. Carbon monoxide(一氧化碳)gas levels in the blood return to normal after eight hours. After one day, the risk of heart attack reduces. After one year, the risk of heart disease for a non-smoker is half that of a smoker.

Stop smoking before smoking stops you!

Are you a little shy when it comes to raising your hand in class? If so, that's totally normal. We've been there. With all attention on you, it can be so scary to speak up.

However, if you can break through your fear, we promise you can benefit (受益)a lot. According to a government study, some students are falling behind because they're too shy to put their hands up when a teacher asks a question. So try to raise your hand!

To start with, you'll realize the power of being wrong. Nobody is right all the time. Your teacher will be happy to see your participation and won't punish you for being wrong. He or she will explain why you're wrong. You'll learn something new. Chances are, other students think the same thing as you, but don't speak up. Not only do you help yourself, but you help your shy classmates, too.

Besides, your teacher will know you're interested in learning. Participating in class shows that you are not falling asleep behind your textbook. This is beneficial to you and your teacher. Your teacher will appreciate your interaction (互动) during the lesson and will remember your enthusiasm(热情)The next time you're one point away from an A+.

What's more, you'll have fun discussing with your classmates. When you and other classmates are raising hands to answer questions, it makes the class more interesting and allows you to actively engage with the lesson. Your teacher doesn't have to stand in the front of the room talking nonstop for a long time. Class time will fly by and your mind won't be wandering to the clock every 5 minutes.

Most importantly, you'll know that you've actually learned the material. One of the best ways to prove that you actually know something is by talking about it. Speaking up in class shows that you are trying to understand or have understood what you've been taught.

Don't be shy or afraid to raise your hand in class. Nobody is judging you. Seriously. It'll finally pay off?
