Dear Ms Brown,

I’m writing this letter to express my thanks to you for help me with my English study during the past three years. I can still remember how poor my English was when I come to senior middle school. I even felt frightening each time I attended an English class. Know this, you communicated with me patient and let me know the important of learning English well. Then you taught me many useful ways to learn English and even spent many of your free time helping me, for which I have always been grateful. With your help, I finally made a great progress. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came I was admitted into a key university.

Ms Brown, it’s you that has changed my life and made my dream come true. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.

In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.

In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.

1.Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if _________.

A. they were not well educated at school

B. they were fearful of pain

C. they had never played with fire before

D. they had no sense of pain

2.People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _________.

A. they have gained experience

B. they jump out of the way in time

C. they are warned of the danger and take quick action

D. they are calm in face of danger

3.What is implied but not stated in the passage?

A. Fear is always something helpful

B. Too much fear is harmful

C. Fear is something that can be avoided

D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life

4.The best title for this passage should be __________.

A. The Value of Fear

B. Pain and Actions

C. No Pains, No Gains

D. The Reason Why People Fear

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment

In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).

Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.

Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.

Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.

What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.

When Mrs. Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered，and my face felt warm.

“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.

What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.

If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.

A．It is wise to value one’s time.

D. It is enough to do the necessary.

2.Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.

A． recite their homework together

3.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.

A． asked questions in a regular way

B． walked up and down when asking questions

C． chose two or three questions for the students

D． requested her students to finish their usual questions

4. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.

A. the class didn’t begin as usual

B. several students didn’t come to school

C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate

D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 1. I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 2. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

3. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. 4.

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 5.

A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

D. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

E. The second reason lies in the reluctance (不愿) of using what has just been learned.

F. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

G. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your grudge. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear(消耗) on our body and make people feel more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, calm down first. Take plenty of breath deeply and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who makes you angry. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear, even love. To gain perspective, you may write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.

1.The underlined word “grudge” in the first paragraph most probably means _________.

A. understanding B. forgiveness

C. pity D. anger

2.According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?

A. Try to make sure why you get hurt.

B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.

C. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.

D. Tell yourself to accept what others have done to you.

3.Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ______.

A. people seldom want to apologize

B. we’d feel worse accepting others’ apology

C. we are not patient enough

D. people don’t mean it when they apologize

4.This passage is mainly written to explain _______.

A. how to keep yourself from being hurt

B. why and how to forgive others

C. how and when to stay calm

D. how to stay mentally healthy

Easy Ways to Improve Your Writing Skills

For better or for worse, school is filled with writing homework. Good writing is important for getting a good grade. 1. Luckily, anyone can improve his or her writing with the right guidance and a little practice. Here are four easy tips to help you improve your writing skills:

1. Organize your thoughts first.

Good writers outline their thoughts before starting putting their pens to paper or hands to a keyboard. Firstly, write out each main topic. Next, list subtopics(小标题) beneath much main topic. Lastly, put the topics and subtopics into a logical(符合逻辑的) order. 2.

2. Take a standpoint.

Most writing homework asks you to take a position on what you're writing about. 3. Your thesis(论点) should determine the content of your writing homework. The stronger your thesis is, and the better you back up your thesis with related information, the stronger your writing will be overall.

3. Don't copy others' homework.

4. Most teachers use detective software to catch copycats in the act. Students found copying are usually punished and what's worse, even dismissed(开除).

5.

Some students finish writing a passage and then give it to their teachers without checking it. This is a huge mistake. It's likely that there are mistakes that need to be corrected. Additionally, one's work can always be bettered and improved.

Happy writing!

A. Look over and correct.

B. Keep a dictionary handy.

C. This main idea is called a “thesis”.

D. However, it’s still a skill many students struggle with.

E. Use this outline to give shape to your writing homework.

F. And all good writing is organized with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

G. Trying to use others’ ideas as your own can get you into serious trouble.

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.

However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.

A.the reasons for success

B.the meaning of success

D.the importance of success

2.In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to ______.

D.succeeding in life

3.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.

A.work makes one feel pain

B.one tends to enjoy his work

C.one gives up his work easily

D.it takes a lot of time to succeed

4.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A.Successful people like to show their great skills.

B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.

C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.

D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.

5.What is the main theme of the passage?

A.Having a goal is vital to success.

B. Being good is different from being great.

C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.

D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.
