Try reading the following sentences as fast as you can. “She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.”
Not very easy, was it? What you’ve just read is called a tongue twister (绕口令). It is an exercise made up of sounds that are hard to pronounce in order to help people pronounce words faster and more correctly. Try the next example.
“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Pete Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”
Tongue twisters usually do not have much meaning. They are just designed to improve people’s ability (能力) to pronounce words. Although they may be very difficult, these exercises are very important to people who are trying to speak English correctly. This is because tongue twisters help people to tell the differences between similar sounds.
So if you wish to pronounce words more smoothly, you’d better try picking out some tongue twisters and practicing them.
Tongue twisters are helpful in improving skills.
| A．listening | B．pronunciation |
| C．writing | D．communication |
The first tongue twister is hard because .
| A．it is very boring to read |
| B．it teaches us a lot of knowledge |
| C．we don’t know who “she” is |
| D．the sounds of “s” and “sh” are similar |
The passage is probably taken from in a school newsaper.

I’m Marie. I work in a nursing home (养老院) and my job is to look after the old people. Alice is one of them. She’s a very nice old woman.
This year, Alice had a difficult time. She went to hospital twice. In November, I finally could get her back to her “home”.

On Christmas Eve, I took her to a candlelight service (烛光礼拜) at church that night.
I didn’t take her to my church. I took her to the church in her old neighborhood. We got there early and I let her sit near the door, so people could see her when they came in. Soon some of her friends came to the church and they all talked to her and sat with her.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!The underlined word “wealthy” means “__________” in the article.
| A．pleased | B．healthy |
| C．excited | D．rich |
Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _________.
| A．get money and something they can’t buy with money |
| B．do what they want to do at any time |
| C．enjoy health which makes them work hard |

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our rules and culture. One of the rules is that young people are always s to respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
In my village in China, people are p of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most
(知识) and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, (当地的) people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep t
away from growing old by
(做) exercise, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got m
because this caused them to feel they had
(失败)to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear. It taught me a lesson. Learning what you should and shouldn’t do in s
situations may be difficult, but it is
(值得) the trouble if you want to understand another culture.
