The aim of students who come to school is to study. But to study requires a right way, or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.
The best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason, we can get good result.
In studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one until we have learned the first one.
When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.
We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we’ve learned can be used well and made better.
Though there are many ways for studying, yet the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.

Being shy keeps many Chinese people from getting to know westerners. You may feel nervous about making language mistakes in front of a native English speaker.
But remember, westerners living in Asia know how it feels to try to communicate in a foreign language. They have made many mistakes when speaking Chinese!
So don’t worry about speaking imperfect English. The important thing is just to communicate. Start talking, and make some foreign friends!
Many westerners value(注重) their privacy(隐私). Don’t be surprised if your new friend doesn’t want to include you in everything he does. This may seem strange to Chinese who worry about that their friends will get lonely.
Chinese people often expect their good friends to give advice and take care of them in many ways. If you expect this kind of care from westerners, you may be disappointed. Why? Because most westerners value independence. They feel insulted(侮辱的) if others think they can’t take care of themselves. They will assume(假设) you feel the same way.
Of course, these tips(小提示) are just rules of thumb(经验之谈) and may not apply(适用) to all westerners. Each person you meet will have his or her own ideas about friendship. When you get confused(不明白), don’t be shy and worry to ask questions. Your new western friends may also have many questions about Chinese culture, and they may be hesitant(犹豫) to ask. So encourage them to ask questions, too.
Be honest and open to your friends. Respect each other’s differences. The friendships you make can be lifelong treasure both for you and your new friends.Why do many Chinese people feel worried to speak to the foreigners?

What is the sky？ Where is it？ How bright is it？ What lies above it？ These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they？
Is the sky blue？ The sky has no color. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there.
When we talk about the sky, we usually mean the atmosphere around the earth. It is like a very thick “cover” over the earth and keeps it warm. Without the “cover”, the earth would be a very cold place and nothing could live on it.
Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue, but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains. And you will see fewer clouds between you and the sun.
And if you sit in a spaceship high above the earth, there is no air at all. The sky would be so dark that its color would be black.
Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. These are the most beautiful moments of the day.
Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light and no colors.Planes can’t fly very high because ____________.
| A．there is air around the world |
| B．the air gets thinner when they go up higher |
| C．it’s warmer in the sky |
| D．the air gets thicker when they go up higher |
We can see colors of the sky because ____________.
| A．the sun rises and falls every day |
| B．the sky has lots of colors |
| C．the air scatters the sunlight |
| D．the sunlight has many colors |
Which of the following is TRUE？
| A．There is little air without light and colors in the sky. |
| B．The sky will look red, orange and other colors at noon. |
| C．The sky has only one color when the sun rises and falls. |
| D．The sky is dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains. |
A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training.
“Mr. Tanaka,” the boy finally asked, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves？”
“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” his teacher replied.
Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). The boy won his first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his own success.
This time, his opponent (对手) was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. The referee (裁判) wanted to stop the match.
“No,” the teacher insisted, “let him continue.” Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment the boy used his move to pin (钉住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion.
On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.
“Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”
“You won for two reasons,” his teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense (防守) for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”
The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength (优点). The boy decided to study judo though ____________.
| A．he was only ten years old |
| B．he would have an old teacher |
| C．he had lost his left arm in a car accident |
| D．he knew he was not clever |
How did the boy feel when he was in the finals？
| A．Proud. | B．Surprised. | C．Worried. | D．Happy. |
What can you infer (推断) from the passage？
| A．The boy wasn’t doing well at first. |
| B．Mr. Tanaka is a good teacher because he knows his student’s strength and weakness. |
| C．The referee believed the boy would win. |
| D．The boy had predicted that he would win. |
