Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.

First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.

Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.

Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.

Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as VOA. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.

1.This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to______.

On Nov.18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.

Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.

After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand, but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.

At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 km from London!

Dear Li Hua,

I am glad to receive your letter. I can understand how sad you are as they have to transfer to other school. But everything will be fine when you adapt to your new surrounding.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress

Everybody gets stressed from time to time.1.Some ways of dealing with stress like screaming or hitting someone - don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talkto a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 2.They might havehad similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they takeit out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there arealways people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself3.

(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults andfriends, it's time to get down to business.4.Even if you can't solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暫時(shí)的). Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you makeyour way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. -5.

A. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

B Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

C. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.

D Different people feel stress in different ways.
