First,the environmental protection department should make strict laws. Then the fish owners must deal the dead fish in time. Third,the citizens who live near the lake must forbidden to pour pollutants into the lake. What's more,the government should educate the citizens the important of protected environment and put forward various ways to dealing with the problems which may be causing by our ignorance and indifference.

If everyone is responsible for the South Lake and do which is right,there is no doubt whether it will turn back to a pretty diamond of Wuhan.

My father was a selftaught mandolin (曼陀林) player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town. He could not read music,but if he heard a tune a few times,he could play it. 1       They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer. He told the family that after he was hired he never went back. Dad was a very religious man. There was a lot of drinking and cursing the day of his audition. 2       Dad would take out his mandolin and play for the family,occasionally. We three children would often sing along. Songs we sang including The Tennessee Waltz,Harbor Lights and Around Christmas Time,the wellknown rendition of Silver Bells. One of Dad's favorite hymns (圣歌) was The Old Rugged Cross. 3       And we would sing it with Dad when he would play and sing. Another song that was often shared in our house was a song that accompanied the Walt Disney series：Davey Crockett. Dad only had to hear the song twice before he learned it well enough to play it. King of the Wild Frontier was the favorite song for the family. He knew we enjoyed the song and the program. Then he would often take out the mandolin after the program was over. 4       I loved to sing,but I never learned how to play the mandolin. This is something I regret to this day.

Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. I believe if he could give pleasure to others,he would,especially his family. He was always there,sacrificing his time and efforts to see that his family lived happily in their life. 5

Reading Strategies Have you ever read what should be a useful document,yet failed to gain any helpful information from it? Or,do you have to reread something several times to get a full understanding of the content?

The following approaches will help you get the maximum benefit from your reading,with the minimum effort.

1. Think about What You Want to Know 1          Are you reading with a purpose,or just for pleasure? What do you want to know after you've read it?

Once you know your purpose,you can examine the resource to see whether it's going to help you.

2. Know How Deeply to Study the Material Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of a subject,you can skim the material. Here you read only chapter headings,introductions,and summaries.

If you need a moderate level of information on a subject,then you can scan the text. You can then speed read the contents of the chapters,picking out and understanding key words and concepts. 2      

3. Read Actively When you're reading a document or book in detail,it helps if you practice "active reading" by highlighting and underlining key information,and taking notes as you progress. 3      

4. Know How to Study Different Types of Material Different types of documents hold information in different places and in different ways,and they have different depth and breadth of coverage.

The most effective way of getting information from magazines is to scan the tables of contents or indexes and turn directly to interesting articles. Newspapers tend to be arranged in sections. 4      

5. Make Your Own Table of Contents 5          This means that you may not notice when important information has been left out,or that an irrelevant detail has been included.

An effective way to combat this is to make up your own table of contents before you start reading. Ask yourself what sections or topics you are expecting to see in this document,and what questions you want to have answered by the end of the text.

   A. This is when you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail.

   B. Before you start reading anything,ask yourself why you're reading it.

   C. Most of us read regularly as part of our jobs,and to develop our skills and knowledge.

   D. This enphasizes information in your mind,and helps you to review inportant points later.

   E. Only when you need full knowledge of a subject is it worth studying the text in detail.

   F. When you're reading a document or book,it's easy to accept the writer's structure of thought.

   G. If you read a paper often,you can quickly learn which sections are useful,and which ones you can skip altogether.

1.                  2.                  3.                  4.          5.       

Dear Tom ,

I've finally made up my mind to go to America for farther study after graduation. I've been longed to go to America,mainly for two reasons. One is that I want to experience American culture,which is believed to have the most diverse in the world,and the another is that I hope to broaden my horizon in this developed country. But to telling you the truth,I have some worries about this. I don't have good command of English,especially spoken English,so Fm afraid Fll have difficulty fitting very soon. Besides,I may suffer from highly pressure from college courses,which I'm not sure I can handle with.

With so many things bother me,I hope you can offer me some practical advices. Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,Li Hua
