What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements(陈述句) and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here,” instead of, “Are you glad that you’re here?” Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times.
In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.

How to protect children from unsafe material online has long been discussed in the USA. For some parents, the Internet seems like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain (包括) wonders as well as dangers.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great at finding lots of interesting websites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a ‘content screener (过滤器)’. But this can’t be wholly reliable (可靠的), and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.

How to protect children from 　　　 material online
Parents’ opinion about the Internet	The Internet is like a jungle 　　　 of danger.

If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master (精通 ) the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think  about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs (输入 ) in your Mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practise listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably(更适合) taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地 ), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

Topic	How to _______ English speaking and writing skills
four  _______	Reading, listening, speaking and writing
_____on reading	Read as much as you can. Read ______ and think about what the sentence and the unfamiliar words mean. Spend less time on the grammars and the unfamiliar words mean. Prepare a _____ where you can write down the important words or sentences.

We all have problems. If we can’t deal with our problems, we will become unhappy easily.
Worry about our problems can affect what we do at school. It can also influence the way we get along with our families at home. Here are some ways to deal with our problems.
l By learning to forget.
Most of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were about a small problem. When we are angry, we are usually the ones affected. However, this usually does not last for long. We can solve a problem by learning to forget.
l By regarding problems as challenges
Many students often complain(抱怨) about school. They might feel they have too much work to do or think the rules are too strict. We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”. As young people , it is our duty to try to deal with each challenge in our education with the help of our teachers.
l By thinking of something worse
By comparing (比较)yourself to other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, a very clever scientist. He can’t walk or even speak, but he has become very famous and successful. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let’s not worry about problems. Let’s face the challenges instead.
Our problems can affect what we do at_________ and ________.
We can solve our problems by learning_________ ___________.
It’s__________ _________ to try our best to deal with challenges in our education.
If you ________ yourself _________ other people, you will find your problems aren’t so terrible.

I saw an accident this morning when I was standing at the corner of Green Street. A woman with her son was driving a red sports car down Green Street very fast. While she was driving, she was talking on her mobile phone. At the same time, a man was driving a blue truck along Fifth Street very slowly. While he was driving, he was drinking a bottle of cola and eating a sandwich. While the man was driving through the crossing, the woman in the sports car didn’t stop at the traffic lights. As a result, the car hit the truck. Both the woman and the man were very angry. While they were shouting at each other, the police came. Luckily, they were not badly hurt.
