Miss Wu is a young teacher of English in China. She loves teaching very much. One day when she was giving an English lesson, she found the headmaster sitting at the back of the classroom. After class, the headmaster told her that he came to her class to find out how much English and how much Chinese she was using. The result was about half English and half Chinese. She was using Chinese when she gave instructions(说明、指令) to her students and when she wanted to get feedback(反馈)from her students. The headmaster told her that she should use more English in her class.
Miss Wu made a plan like this: firstly, talk with an Englishman every Sunday for two hours to learn more English expressions(表达); secondly, write some English expressions on cards. These cards not only remind her to use English in class, but also help her remember some expressions; thirdly, have a five-minute talk in English with students before class. She used body language to help her if students could not understand.
One year later, she found she could use English freely in class.
【小题1】The headmaster came to Miss Wu’s class to ______.

Now many students have become crazy about c  78  cards in my school. Some have been collecting them   79  about three years. After one gets card, he will   80   (分享)it with his friends. Many students are so addicted (上了瘾的) to it that they have changed a lot. Some students even play with the cards in class. So they have fallen behind in their   81 .
The card is i  82  as a gift in the bag of some food. T  83 , to get these cards, many students try their best to ask for   84  from their parents. I hear Tim and Tom have already collected more than one t  85  cards from stores or their friends.   86  is not long for them to collect a lot of cards. But without good care, the cards can be taken away easily by other collectors. So many students fight with each other for the cards.
I suggest that as a student, we shouldn’t be too fascinated(感到，着迷的) in collecting cards   87  longer. Study hard and become a good host of the future!

How do you pay for things? Do you usually use cash(现金), or do you like to pay by credit card(信用卡)? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should.

Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s, At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers(顾客). Unlike today's credit cards, customers could only use these cards at the Store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldn't pay for something a little at a time.

In 1950, a businessman named McNamara started a credit card company — Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didn't have to carry a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit card.

In its first year of business, Diners Club issued 200 cards, The customers who got the cards from the Diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7. 6 million businesses in more than 200 countries.
