If you are planning to learn a foreign language, here are some suggestions about language learning. I hope these suggestions can help improve your learning of a foreign language
Try to set aside some time every day for your study when your brain is at the most time for receiving information. It’s better to study for 30 minutes every day than for 3 hours once a week. If you can spare two or three hours a day, break them up into some periods to avoid brain getting tired.
Go over each lesson several times, perhaps once in the morning, once in the evening and once several days later. Give your brain time to understand the material, but the break between periods of study shouldn’t be too long, or you will forget most of what you’ve learned.
Make sure you’re comfortable with the bases of the language before learning the more advanced knowledge. Without full understanding of basic knowledge such as words pronunciation and spelling, you’ll find it very difficult to learn more.
Setting proper targets is a good way to encourage yourself. You could set yourself a time limit or aim for a certain level.
Once you have mastered the bases of the language, learn to apply them to the things that you’re interested in. In this way you are more likely to remember the words, phrases and grammatical constructions you meet.
You will find that at times you’re making rapid progress, while sometimes you seem to stand still or even go backwards. This is normal when learning a language, so don’t be discouraged.
Making mistakes in a foreign language is nothing to worry about. What matters is getting your message across, not whether you use all the right words, tenses, cases, etc. If you cannot think of the exact words, try using other ones.
小題1:What is the best time plan for studying a foreign language ?
A．A long period every day.B．Several short periods every day.

小題3:If you don’t fully understand the basic knowledge, you will ____________.
A．be unable to go on with your studyB．be uncomfortable with yourself
C．feel it very difficult to learn moreD．stop learning more in a short time

What is a good education? The question is far from being answered. Once more, colleges and universities are changing their programs: they drop "fun courses" and restart some of the traditional subjects neglected (忽視) since the 1960s. Many great schools are again requiring the students to take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences, and art if they want to get a degree. Meanwhile, the experts are trying to describe the good education of our time. Obviously the purely vocational training once favored is not enough. But neither is the gentleman's education of the nineteenth century. Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems.
What, then, is a good education of this century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures; a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world, and also because "a person who doesn't speak and write clearly doesn't reason clearly either"; some knowledge of the social sciences (sociology, psychology) that deal with human relations and human problems; some basic knowledge of modern science, which would enable future voters to be better informed about current problems like nuclear. Finally, many educators insist that all college graduates should be familiar with computers and modern information system since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? "No, of course not." answer the educators. "We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education: history and literature!"
小題1:The best title for this passage might be _______.
A．EducationB．A Mastery of English
C．A Good EducationD．Something About Study
小題2:The underlined word "drop" in the first paragraph means _______.
A．desertB．dislikeC．declineD．neglect
小題3:The author thinks that the question about what a good education is _______.
A．has been answered fairly well
B．hasn't been put forward yet
C．has been dealt with successfully
D．has not been answered satisfactorily
小題4:Some educational experts believe a mastery of English should include the ability _______.
A．to read fastB．to write and speak well
C．to write clearly and accuratelyD．to listen and speak skillfully

US universities are among the best in the world. Since World War Ⅱ, American scientists --- mostly working in universties or colleges --- have won more than half of all Nobel Prizes in physics and medicine. Foreign students rush to the United States by the tens of thousands. Last year they earned more than one quarter of the doctoral degrees awarded in the country. Yet while American universities produce the great research and great graduate program, they sometimes pay little attention to the task that lies at their very core: the teaching of undergraduate students.
With the increase in fees, educators feel obliged to improve undergraduate teaching. In speeches and interviews the nation’s higher educators have rediscovered teaching. Robert Rosenzweig, president of the Association of American Universities,  said,  “Our organization was never very concerned about teaching. In the last 18 months, we have spent more time on undergraduate education than on any other subject.”
Despite such promising efforts, no one doubts that research still outranks teaching at some of the leading universities, not least because it is a surer and faster way to earn status. Some people don’t think it has to be that way. They argue that the reward system for college faculty can be changed, so that professors will be encouraged to devote more time and effort to teaching. They say that they are beginning to believe that the first ten years of the 21st century may come to be remembered as the decade of the undergraduate.
That would bring it full circle. For more than two centuries after the founding of Harvard College in 1636, the instruction of undergraduate students was an essential condition of American higher education.
小題1:According to the passage, at some of the leading American universities ________.
A．research is declining in importanceB．teaching now ranks above research
C．teaching is a sure way to gain positionD．research still ranks above teaching
小題2:It is implied in the passage that about 200 years ago undergraduate instruction ________.
A．began to change all of a sudden
B．was already threatened by research work
C．was the central part of higher education
D．began to be neglected in most universities
小題3:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．University education in the USB．University education challenged
C．Teaching and research in universitiesD．Undergraduate teaching rediscovered

One day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.
He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:
“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”
Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?
“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it ?
The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.
The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”
And , from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.
And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.
小題1:From Paragraph 2, we can know that______ .
A．people got tired of living in the same place
B．people gradually got used to living in cities
C．people tended to settle down after learning farming
D．people spent a long time in learning to keep animals
小題2:In the teacher’s opinion, Lucy’s argument was______
A．shockingB．ridiculousC．puzzlingD．reasonable
小題3:Which of the following agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7)?
A．People eat young fish for its delicious taste.
B．Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.
C．Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.
D．People use recycled materials as much as possible.
小題4:The writer tries to make us believe that ______.
A．mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling about
B．it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled way
C．it’s quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankind
D．in the beginning men were nomads.

How to Stay Motivated in High School
Do you find it difficult, almost impossible to stay motivated about high school? There are so many demands on your time, along with the expectation of parents and teachers. You really want to look at all the “big picture”. Your time in high school is likely to be just a small part of your whole life.    小題1:  
Set realistic goals and rewards. It can be as simple as doing your work and then taking a break to do something you like.    小題2:   It isn’t as though you have to do all of your work at one time. In other words, when you reach a good break point, give yourself some kind of reward such as doing something you enjoy and afterwards get back to work.
  小題3:  Consider your own parents, teacher, neighbor, or relative—anyone you respect and trust that can be in your corner to root for you and cheer you on. You want someone who has some life experience to counsel you. If you can find more than one source of such wisdom, it is all the better. Don’t ignore this suggestion. It can really save you a lot of heartbreak and suffering later on.
Have supportive friends. There are people who are going nowhere fast.    小題4:   Instead, stay around other motivated students who enjoy school, study and work hard because they are so positive. That positive influence will help motivate you.
Work with yourself not against. We all have energy levels.    小題5:  If your levels are low, determine what raises your energy levels to get you going. Then get as much done as you can. Also, don’t wait until later to get started doing things like your homework. One student explained that he would start work at the end of the class. Then when he got home, he was finishing the work rather than just starting the work.
A．Then get back to work.
B．Don’t hang out with them.
C．Seek the wisdom of an elder.
D．Try to go with the flow of your levels.
E. But it can be the most meaningful years.
F. Study hard, have fun and enjoy each year.
G. Find classmates with whom you can share your concerns.

A new study shows one of the largest glaciers(冰川) in Greenland is becoming smaller and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected. If it continues, Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3 feet.
The rates of change that we’re noticing are much higher than expected. If these rates continue, it is not likely that Greenland could shrink by several tens of percent this century. However, it’s not known how quickly this coastal response of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice.
Greenland is the world’s largest island, covering area more than three times the size of Texas. Some 81 percent of it is covered by ice, and there are many glaciers. Glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice. Where a glacier meets the sea, its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom. A glacier’s front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats.
Since the 1970s, the front of Helheim stayed in the same place. Then it began melting rapidly, moving back 4.5 miles from 2001 through this past summer. It has also grown thinner, from top to bottom, by more than 130 feet since 2001. And over these past years, its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70 feet per day to nearly 110.
The melting is driven by a warmer climate. Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit(華氏溫度) in the last ten years. Since most of Greenland’s ice is on land, seas will rise as the ice melts. If all Greenland’s ice sheet melted, oceans would be 15-20 feet higher. Nobody expects that to happen any time soon.
小題1:What can we know about the glaciers according to the passage?
A．Glaciers only lie in Greenland.
B．Water in glaciers is more than sea water.
C．Glaciers sometimes float on the water.
D．Glaciers can increase the water level of lakes.
小題2:According to the passage, we know that Greenland ___________.
A．belongs to Canada
B．is the largest island in North America
C．is all covered with glaciers
D．is sinking under the sea level
小題3:Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glaciers?
A．The climate of the world will be warmer.
B．The glaciers in other areas will be bigger.
C．It will be easy for explorers to visit the island.
D．Some coastal cities may be under the sea.

A
For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. 
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the dilemma. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
小題1:Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
A．Both can continue for generations.
B．Both are about where to draw the line.
C．Neither has any clear winner.
D．Neither can be put to an end.
小題2:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
小題3:Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.
A．give orders to the otherB．know more than the other
C．gain respect from the otherD．get the other to behave properly
小題4:What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
B．Examples of the parent-teen war.
C．Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
D．Future of the parent-teen relationship.
小題5:Where do you think this passage can be found?
A．In a report.B．In a letter.
C．In a novel.D．In a textbook.
