In Britain, the best topic is the weather. British weather is changing all the time. 1.

Besides weather, it’s good to talk about gardens with British. You could say “Those roses look really beautiful, don’t they?” 2. .So it’s also nice to start with “What a lovely dog! What is his name?”

In America, people like to talk about sports news ,such as American football and basketball.3. So you might say “It’s a nice shirt! Where did you get it?” Weather is a safe topic there, too.

4. Don’t ask people “How old are you?” Never ask: “How much money do you make?”It makes people uncomfortable. Don’t ask strangers weather they are married. 5. There are others in our daily life.

Good afternoon, everyone, I feel honor to stand here to share my ideas about the topic of communicate with our parents.

Parents are the people which love us most, so it is necessary to keep a good relationship with them. Here are my suggestions with how to make it easier to communicate with parents.

First, we should respect and trust our parents. Don’t be rude to them even if they had done something wrong. They have been experienced more and always try their best to protect us from dangers. Second, whether we often talk with them about our life and experience, we will know each other better. Third, if sometimes we don’t agree with our parents decisions, we should try to put themselves in their shoes and we will soon understand them. Remember they really want is only the best for us.

Thank you for listening.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is one of the most common sayings in the English languages. This is because apples were one of the first foods that medical professionals recognized as healthy—their benefits became obvious when, quite simply, doctors found that people who ate apples were sick less often than those who did not. Today we have a more specific understanding of why apples are so beneficial to overall health.

Apples can help keep your levels of bad cholesterol (胆固醇) down. The pectin (果胶) in apples helps you to maintain cardiovascular health and reduce LDL cholesterol(which is the “bad” kind). Apples themselves do not add cholesterol to your diet and are full of water and fiber to help prevent the cholesterol in other foods you might digest. According to Health Diaries, people who eat two apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent.

Apples are naturally low in calories and high in water content. Eating an apple can satisfy your hunger and keep you from reaching for high-sugar, high-calories snacks. By eating apples, you will be more able to maintain a healthy weight because they fill you up, potentially stopping you from eating food that encourages a waistline increase.

Apples contain respectable levels of boron (硼), which helps build healthy bones, and can also prevent diseases like arthritis. Apples are rich in vitamin C, which is known to help build immunity.

Studies have shown that apples can decrease the risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and liver cancer. One theory is that the apple skins are responsible for this, so be sure not to peel your apple before you eat them, as you could remove some of the health benefits.

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. An explanation of an English saying.

B. How to make full use of apples.

C. Apples are beneficial to our health.

D. How to keep healthy in our daily life.

2.By eating apples we can get many benefits EXCEPT________.

A. lowering the cholesterol B. keeping a healthy weight

C. building immunity D. preventing heart disease

3.Which of the following can most probably replace the underlined word “respectable”?

A. Admirable. B. Considerable.

C. Reliable. D. Valuable.

4.Which plays an important role in reducing the risk of breast cancer?

A. The pectin. B. The apple skins.

C. The flesh of apples. D. The fiber of apples.

5.What’s the author’s attitude towards the effect of eating apples?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.

Since the nineteen nineties, education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen. Last December, the government announced that seventy percent of students passed their final examination to finish high school. In 2008 the passage rate was about sixty-three percent. There have been increases each year since then.

Professor Shireen Motala at the University of Johannesburg says access to basic education is no longer the problem in South Africa. She says most children stay in school until they are about sixteen. The problem now, she says, is that large numbers of them leave without completing high school. Students take an examination known as the matric in grade twelve, their final or "matriculation" year. Professor Motala notes that less than half the children who started school in 2000 sat for the matric last year.

Educational researchers also point to another problem. They say South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in math and science. Many schools are not well - equipped. They do not have libraries at school. Ninety - two percent of the schools do not have libraries.

Also, education specialists say in many cases, teachers and school principals do not have the skills or training to do their jobs. In other cases, they are simply not doing their duty to provide an education. Professor Motala says a number of teachers were poorly trained during the system of apartheid(种族隔离), or racial separation in South Africa. Apartheid ended in 1994.

Secondly, she says, teachers have been confused by the many educational reform efforts in the last fifteen years. And, finally, she thinks language differences in the classroom have not gotten as much attention as they should.

South Africa's minister of basic education promises a number of improvements.

1.How was thepassage rate in 2008?

A. uncertain B. just so-so

C. high D. low

2.What's the Motala's attitude towards the basic education for students in South Africa?

A. Confident. B. Hopeless.

C. Negative. D. Worried.

3.From the passage we know the matric is ________.

A. an examination difficult for students to pass

B. an examination for students in grade twelve

C. the number of students leaving school

D. the number of students taking exams

4.Students in South Africa find it hard to get improved in math and science because ________.

A. they drop out of school without finishing high school

B. teachers don't have the abilities to teach them

C. most schools can not provide enough equipment

D. there aren't such subjects in most schools
