Television is everywhere around us. Yet it is great for learning English. The pictures make it easier to understand than radio and because you can see who’s talking, and get a better idea of what people mean. Just watch their “body language”! Watch programs that you find enjoyable and entertaining. 【1】

Here’s the english-at-home.com guide to learning as much as possible while watching English television:

2 Learning English should be fun –– not something that you have to force yourself to do. If you have a passion for football, watch matches or the sports news.

Keep a notebook near to your television. 3 This is especially useful. You can look for programs with sub-titles in your own language.

Try to watch English television regularly. Even if you can only watch 15 minutes a day, you’ll be amazed how much you learn.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. English television is normally aimed at native English speakers. 4 If the programs that you’re watching are full of unknown words, just concentrate on understanding the general meaning.

Keep a note of television programs and presenters that you find easy to understand and try to watch them regularly. 5 Soon you will impress your friends with your English skills.

A. Don’t watch the programs too easy for you.

B. Better watch programs that you find interesting.

C. Programs often include many difficult words.

D. English learning has little to do with watching TV.

E. Whatever you watch will help you improve your English.

【题目】Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found.

Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day. The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie. It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang.

Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men.

The second most common fib(无关紧要的谎言) is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by tramps (流浪者), beggars and Big Issue sellers. “Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”.

Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place. Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”. “I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten.

Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.

In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults.

1Whether the person being called has pushed the “ignore” button or ______, the caller at the other end hears the same tone.

A. really has no signal B. can’t get the text

C. has a battery failure D. answers the call

2Most people think women are better liars because ______.

A. there’re more women liars B. fewer women liars are found out

C. women tell less harmful lies D. women are harder to convince

3“You look lovely” and “I’m on my way” rank _____ on the popular-lie list.

A. 3rd and 8th B. 5th and 10th C. 4th and 9th D. 5th and 12th

4The OnePoll spokesman seems to think it’s ______ for the British to lie so much.

A. puzzling B. unpleasant C. impossible D. reasonable

【题目】Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived (剥夺). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behavior are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.

【1】According to the author, people enjoy ________ to seek nature.

A. jogging on the street

B. sitting in the garden

C. shopping in the supermarket

D. running in the gym

2From the second paragraph, we can see that ________.

A. adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature

B. climbing trees will certainly do good to the children

C. children probably spend less time in nature nowadays

D. children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction

3In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?

A. Children with ADHD can be cured.

B.A garden nearby improves the quality of old people’s life.

C. Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.

D. Children’s performance at school is greatly improved.

4What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Access to nature improves our life.

B. Nature treats children with ADHD.

C. Getting close to nature reduces crime.

D. Man can’t live without natural areas.

“You know I love you and the reindeer (驯鹿) love you and it's OK. You're a good boy"Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon.'You're a good boy,you know.”

Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa's thoughtful words.“This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I’ve been trying to get through to him for a while now that he's special and I love him just the way he was made"the mom told Today.com.“Seeing Landon's face light up in that moment was just incredible.I couldn't stop crying.

【题目】

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 1Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 2 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

3 A yellow room makes most people more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one. And a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4 A black bridge over the Thames River near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

5 it is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

A. On the other hand, black is depressing.

B. They tell us, among those facts, that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow upwe are born with our preference.

C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.

D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.

G. Colors do influence our moods. There is no doubt about it.
