You may study differently from your friends,but your study habits are not wrong!

    Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common.They love doing things together,such as going to movies and concerts,shopping,or just sitting at a small cafe.Since they take a lot of the same school subjects,they would love to study together,but they find this impossible.Their working styles are so completely different that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!

    Kelly would like to study in a clean,open space,while Maria works best with books,papers and other things around her.Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room,but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on.Kelly can sit for hours without moving,and often gets all her homework done in one sitting.Maria,however,is always getting up,and says that she thinks best when she's on the move.

    You might be asking yourself:which way of studying gets better results?Many people believe that a silent,tidy setting(环境)is the way to go,.Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦)their attention,because it makes them form a "wall" in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.

    So,if you're a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center,don't worry about it.If you work in total silence,that's OK,too.Judging from Kelly 's and Maria's study habits,the best way to study is the way that works for you.In their very different ways,both of them do well in school,and both finish their work within the required time as well.

Masa walked slowly towards the house,stopping now and then to cut off dead leaves or fading flowers.There were few weeds(杂草).Yuki had spent many hours of her two﹣week visit weeding in the garden.Masa wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside because she wanted to avoid talking to her.

    But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us,Masa told herself.She had visited in the last weeks of June,as soon as her college was out for the summer.

    She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn't because she had to work.Besides,she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read,"Why do you have to go to college to study art?"Masa asked her. "All the great artists didn't go to college. "

    Yuki shook her head. "That was a different time.It's hard to explain. "

    "I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist.This is a nice quiet place to live. "

    "I don't know.How would I support myself here?" "You can always give lessons. "Masa said.

    "But I don't want to spend a long time looking at kids' drawings. "

    "What will you do after you graduate,anyway?Will you become a teacher somewhere else then?"

    "Grandma,I don't know. "Yuki sighed.

    "What is the use of going to college if you don't know what you're going there for?" "Maybe I'm going because I don't know.I just want to study art now.I don't want to think that far ahead. "

    The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live,Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.

    "I'm going to the garden to weed your flowerbed",she said, "Let me know if there's something else I can do."

    On Yuki's visit,Masa felt strained when they talked,and she was sure Yuki also felt it.But Yuki was never rude or irritable(易怒的).Even when they disagreed,her face was always full of patience.

Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking(背包旅行)seem to be more interesting and outgoing than your friends at home?That's my experience,anyway.Very often,you'll meet people that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know.I've spent time with people of many countries and have found out some interesting things about their cultures.It's a great way to learn more about the world.

    It's often easy to make new friends while you're traveling,and you'll be able to hang around with them for a few days,until one of you leaves for the next exciting place.Relationships of this kind are shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home,because you do so much together in that short time.I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends.It is safe,I think,because we probably won't meet again,except online.

    One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic needs,so your backpack isn't too heavy.I travel" "light" these days.One good tip someone gave me is to take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on,instead of washing and waiting for things to dry.Many hostels(小旅社)don't provide shampoo and shower gel.You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.

    I've discovered that many backpackers visit little places other tourists don't go to,and by using local shops and guest houses,they help those places with much﹣needed financial(经济上的)support.Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time,so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area.Backpackers are also kinder to the environment,because they use trains and buses rather than cars.So,what are you waiting for? (By Andy Robinson)

(1)According to Andy,friendships made with other backpackers   .

A.are less serious than those with his friends at home

B.end at the moment they separate from each other

C.help him to decide where he would like to travel to

D.allow him to talk about himself in an honest way

(2)Which text message would Andy send to a friend?"     

A

"Why don't you fly out to visit me?We'll stay in a famous hotel on the coast. "

B

"I'm leaving here tomorrow and then I will drive a car along the coast. "

C

"I've met some great people.Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together. "

D

"I'm glad I filled up my backpack –I've got everything I need,though it isn't easy to carry it around!"

(3)The best title for the passage can be   .

A.Friendships on the Way

B.Traveling with a Backpack

When do children start to talk?If you ask a group of parents when this happened,most will say" around twelve months of age".They will probably even remember what the children said.Many parents keep a diary of their child's "first words"

    We can never predict what a first word is going to be.Often it's the name for" mummy " or "daddy",but it could just as easily be the word for an animal or a favorite toy.Everything depends on what has most caught the child's attention.But one thing is certain:after the first word,others come quickly.By 18 months,most children have learned about 50 words.By two,the total has risen to around 200.

    Early words are actually one﹣word sentences.One of the first features(特征)of language a child learns well is to control the rise and fall of the voice to make the difference between stating and questioning.In English,daddy with a high rising tone(声调)means "is that daddy?" Daddy with a high falling tone means "There's daddy".Of course,only very basic meanings can be communicated using tones alone.So it soon becomes necessary to learn some grammar.

    In English,grammar means learning to put words in different orders.Children have to see that mummy push is different from push mummy.They start practising such changes at around 18 months.By two,they have learned the basic patterns of word order,and we hear them saying such things as man kick ball and where daddy go.

    What are the parents doing all his time?They're acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child's language learning.
