Hi， Tom，
Thanks for your message and I am glad that you wrote to me for ideas．
I remember when I was learning English， I felt uncomfortable about speaking． I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules， but speaking was difficult． I now feel a lot more confident about speaking， so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience．
Don' t worry about making mistakes．Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won't notice your mistakes．
Use every chance you get to speak． For example，it's a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language． At home， you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class．
Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom． You can join a conversation group，such as the chat groups in the study centre． They are free to join．
Practice speaking online． There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world．
I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems．
Best wishes，
Eliza

Do you like Physics or Chemistry？ Matter （物质） is always changing， either physically or chemically． If a material goes through a physical change， it is still the same material． During a chemical change， one kind of matter changes into another completely different kind of matter． For example， when we burn wood or cook fish， materials change． People use chemistry every day in the kitchen． The food we eat has many different natural chemicals． Many of the chemicals in food are necessary parts of a healthy diet．
Much of the food we eat has been changed in some way from its original form． The changes that food undergoes may be chemical or physical． If a change does not affect the food's chemical composition， we call it a physical change． For example， melted （溶解的） cheese has gone through a physical change． It gets softer when it is heated but it is still the same type of material． Any change that changes the chemicals in the food is a chemical change． Bread contains carbohydrates， which are chemicals made up of carbon， hydrogen， and oxygen． When bread is baked （烘焙）， the carbohydrates break down into black carbon and water． The carbon gives the bread a dark color and a crunchy texture （质地）． The water goes into the air．
To get a closer look at the chemistry of baking， let's watch how a carrot cake is made． The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients （材料） and baking them together． In the course of making cakes， the dry ingredients are mixed first． They are flour， sugar， salt， baking soda， baking powder and spices． Flour gives the cake structure． Sugar helps to make it sweet． Salt strengthens the cake batter． Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise．
Next， the carrots may be added to the cake． These help give the carrot cake its flavor， texture， and color． The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil and eggs． The oil makes the cake tender and moist． Eggs serve two purposes﹣the whites help the cake to rise， while the yolks （蛋黄） give it a creamy texture． All of these ingredients form a mixture． This mixture can be separated into its different components （成分） although it is very difficult． Once the cake mixture is formed， it's poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven． The heat from the oven has caused chemical changes to take place． The cake is finished and the ingredients cannot be separated．
（1）The material doesn't change when we ．
A． melt ice cream
B． burn paper
C． bake apple pies
D． cook beef
（2）What's the correct order of baking a carrot cake in the passage？

g． The ingredients cannot be separated．
h． The mixture is poured into a pan
A． b﹣a﹣h﹣f﹣g
B． b﹣h﹣c﹣d﹣f
C． e﹣d﹣c﹣a﹣g
D． e﹣c﹣a﹣g﹣d
（3）After reading the passage， we know that ．
A． water and carbon can give the cake a dark color and a crunchy texture
B． people can separate the mixture of eggs and oil into different components
C． chemicals in different kinds of food that people eat are bad for their health
D． sugar and salt can't be put into the mixture to make a cake at the same time

Here are some tips that can help you have a few moments of quiet in your day．
1． Make it a priority （优先的事物）．Like brushing your teeth or taking a shower， 10 minutes of quiet time a day is part of taking care of your body and cultivating （陶冶） your spirit．
2． Teach the people you live with about quiet time． No television or computer or music．This is the time to read or play or create art一alone．Tell the people around you about the importance of quiet and lead by example． Then they'" begin to support you and enjoy it as well．
3．Use the spaces in between．I seldom have the radio on in the car when I'm driving alone．When I'm waiting for an appointment （约会），I'm seldom texting or talking．I just enjoy the quiet before the appointment．
4．Create at least our daily activity that needs quiet．Go for a run without carphones．Take a long bath，or a shower before bead My morning coffee is a time of enjoying quiet When I know I've got a very busy day ahead．I'll get up 15 minutes early just to drink coffee alone in the quiet．

There's an old saying： "Laughter is the best medicine，" and modern research certainly shows that laughing is good for you． When you have a good laugh， you exercise your muscles （肌肉），strengthen your heart and balance your body chemistry． However， these are the results of having laugh， not the explanations （解释）of why we do it．
Until recently， scientists believed that laughter was a human behaviour only． They argued that people find jokes funny because we can put ourselves in another person's shoes， and that animals can't do that．People don't all have the same sense of humour． Sometimes there isn't any joke，or we may not have heard it but we laugh because the people around us are laughing． How long and how loud we would laugh are also shared． We just go on following the example with one another until the laughter fades away （消失）．
Many pet owners insist that animals have a sense of humour， too． For example， pet dogs often run away with a slipper （拖鞋） and then stop， inviting their owners to run after them． Dogs even seem to smile when their owners join in the game． As the game continues， our pets make noises that are very like laughter． You can compare this behaviour to the laughter of a baby， who continually throws a toy down， waits for the adult to pick it up and throws it down again．
Perhaps laughter is just a sign that we are having fun． Fun， like laughter， is best when we share it with friends．

C． different ways
（2）Scientists believed that ．

B． animals have a sense of humor， too
C． animals are more humorous than human beings
（4）When a baby throws a toy down waits for the adult to pick it up and throws it down again， he will be ．
A． nervous
B． angry
C．happy
（5）The writer encourage us to ．

Critical thinking（批判性思维） is trying to improve the way you think． People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims（评估主张）．
Like every other skill， critical thinking takes practice． When a problem comes our way， we need to think critically to decide how to solve it． When we see an advertisement， for example， we should stop and think． Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true， and then people can buy the products． But is what the advertisement says true？ Is it making a claim？ Or does it only interest us？ Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices． In fact， we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see．
Practice makes perfect． While you are growing in critical thinking， you'll become a wiser and more thoughtful person． There are many ways of doing practice． Here are a few．
★ Read about a topic people disagree on． Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject． For each side of the subject， think carefully and evaluate it．
★ When you see or hear a claim， ask questions about it． Who is making the claim and why？
★Evaluate your own thinking． Where and why do you think uncritically？ How can you improve？
Critical thinking should be part of everything we do． It may help you to succeed at work or school ．Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking． Change your thoughts and change your world．

Teens will finally grow up some day， leaving their parents and facing the challenges in life alone， so they should learn basic life skills and form good working habits．
The government has been trying to pay attention to the importance of hardworking spirit education（劳动教育）．But this has been overlooked in recent years． Many teens do not value the importance of working hard． There is a teenager girl named Nancy， she never helps out around the house． Once her mother was on vacation for a week，leaving her alone at home． When her mother came home from vacation ，she could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt．
Schools play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard．Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit courses every week． To our joy，some schools have provided each class with a piece of field to plant their favorite vegetables． For example， No.38 Middle School in Hefei， set up a 500﹣square﹣meter farm on an open platform （露天平台）of their teaching building． Each class are asked to grow and pick vegetables there．
Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home． Teens should master one or two life skills every year．These skills can include cooking， washing their own clothes and tiding their rooms． The basic skills may help teens to solve the problems they will meet in the future．

Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside．You may not know exactly where you are，what bird is making that strange sound， or what the hill ahead of you is called，but that's part of the fun of it．You don't need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature．
Of course， if you do know your birds， trees and local history， a walk can be more attractive． Yet such knowledge comes slowly． It is picked up through experience．A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone．Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen． Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭） it？
Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge， for example， about baroque（巴洛克风格的） paintings． In fact， apps in museums try to provide on﹣screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．
It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed（灌输） amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it． Our first experience of a work of art should be raw（自然状态的），unguided，and a bit puzzling， like following a path in the woods． Later， you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it． Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself， so that even when you return， the work still feels fresh．
Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong． We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art． Let the paintings flow in； let your intuitions（直觉） fly off． Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all．
（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？
A． Art is best with the help of apps．
B． Art is best when hidden in mystery．
C． Art is nothing compared with nature．
D． Art is nothing when details and facts are known．
（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指） ．
A． people who like showing off
B． people who like baroque paintings
C． those who are good at appreciating art
D． those who are good at painting with phones
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？
A． How to appreciate a work of art．
B． How to personal research into a work of art．
C． How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh．
D． How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．
（4）what can we infer（推断） from the passage？
A． Because of apps， art will be ruined in the future．
B． A good piece of art is usually made about nature．
C． Research work and intuitions can both help understand art．
D． Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．
Social media（媒体）is a big part of most people's lives． There are social apps and sites like WeChat and Sina Weibo， as well as video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou． How do you behave when you use these apps？
Recently researchers at the University of Sussex，UK， studied social media users ranging from 10
to 15 years old． They found that they can be divided into four personality types．
Geeks（极客）
Geeks are active social media users，but they find it much more difficult to deal with the life in the real world． Most of them are boys who like playing computer games and making music and videos． They often post creative works online， using fake（假的） names． In fact， they should avoid spending too much time on the Internet．
Internet celebrities
Internet celebrities like sharing as well ， but they are much more visible （看得见的） than geeks． They might become well﹣known for their singing or dancing． But many of them， especially teenagers ，share almost every side of their lives in order to own more fans． Being a teenage Internet celebrity can sometimes cause problems in the real world．
Lurkers（潜伏者）
The first two groups are lucky to find a place to show their talent． But most teenagers fall into the third type﹣﹣﹣﹣ "lurkers"，or people who are neither too active nor visible．This group prefers WeChat over Sina Weibo， as WeChat has private groups． They can't express themselves well but at least they make sure to protect their personal information．
Victims（受害者）
Victims don't have enough knowledge to keep themselves safe online Their personal information can be made public and cause problems for them． To avoid being a victim， you should check your personal settings on social media．"Friends only" is a good choice for your posts． Don't share your personal information．
（1）What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A． Researchers at the University of Sussex， UK．
B． Social media users ranging from 10 to 15 years old．
C． Researchers and social media users ranging from 10 to 15 years old．
（2）What do geeks often do on the Internet according to the passage？
A． They share almost every side of their lives．
