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 peppers. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Peter 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 practising them.Tongue twisters are helpful in improving ______ skills.
| A．listening | B．writing |
| C．pronunciation | D．communication |
The first tongue twister is hard because ______.
| A．it is very boring to read |

When Mr. Brown entered the classroom that Friday morning, he stopped at the blackboard. For there, on the blackboard, were words in huge red letters: BROWN IS STUPID!
Mr. Brown thought for a moment. This could only have been the work of one of the four boys who had been kept in after school the day before.
Mr. Brown turned the blackboard around so that the words could not be seen. Half an hour later,Mr. Brown wrote four names on the board: Gerald, Alex, Michael and Laurie. Then he said, “I want these four to stay in the classroom. The rest of you may go to the playground.”
The four boys came to the blackboard. “One of you has written a most impolite remark on the blackboard,” he stared （盯着看）at them and thundered, “which one of you did it?”
The four boys gathered closer together, afraid of what was to come.
“Was it you, Gerald?”
Gerald shook his head. “No, it was not me, Sir,” he gave the teacher a most sincere look in his wide eyes.
“What do you have to say, Alex?”
“I don’t know anything about it, Sir,” said Alex, and his ears turned red.
Michael had a bright idea. “Perhaps someone broke in during the night,” he said. “And when he saw the lovely red chalk lying there, he wrote something on the blackboard.”
“Is that the best you can think so, Michael?” asked the teacher.
“I only thought ...”
“And what about you, Laurie?”
Laurie said in a rather low voice, “I didn’t do it, Sir. I don’t even know what it says on the blackboard.”
“You really don’t know what’s written there?” Mr. Brown asked. “And I don’t think dear Gerald knows either.”
“No, Sir. No idea.”
“Michael, Alex, can either of you tell me what it says on the blackboard?”
“No, Sir!” the two boys answered together. Brown walked forward and his fingers seized(揪住) a schoolboy. He said in his kindest and softest voice to the other three boys, “Very well. I only punish the one who has been telling lies, and you three may go to the playground!” What did Mr. Brown write on the blackboard?

Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major (专业) in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers (职业) later in life.
J. K. Rowling, writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.
Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion (激情) finally led him to become President of the United States.
The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.
Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it’s all a matter of how hard you try.______ was a teacher before he (she) became famous.
| A．Vincent Van Gogh | B．Ronald Reagan |
| C．J. K. Rowling | D．Harry Potter |

It can’t be truer that when in Rome do as the Romans do. So it’s important for you to know what you can talk with the local people in other countries.
In France
You’ll find that conversations often turn into heated discussions. You’d better give opinions only on subjects that you are knowledgeable about. There is seldom a moment of silence, except when the topic under discussion has been finished, and nothing new has been introduced.
Food, art, music and current events or history are welcome topics. The French believe in freedom, and you can criticize(批评) anyone, but not Napoleon, who is a symbol of French spirit and never use the conversation opener “What do you do?”.
In Australia
Australians are excited about discussions. Many topics may be open to discussion, such as religion and politics. The best way, however, is to wait for Australians to bring up these two subjects; be prepared to listen to what they are talking about.
Australians like to criticize themselves, but they can’t stand being criticized by others. Don’t talk big. Instead, Australians prefer to judge(判断) your abilities through your actions. People who show off their education in conversation may be laughed at.
In Switzerland
The Swiss may seem cold. Once you get close to them, however, you’ll find that they are honest, responsible people, who will respect your interests much.

Not only is it difficult, but also a waste of water. Of course, you could use a rinsing cup, but that has to be cleaned all the time.

This kind of cool toothbrush won’t be used until November, 2012. Although it is convenient, it is a little expensive. Each one can cost $22 if you order it from the design company.

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first words? If you can, you are unusual. Try to think what the first months of your life were like, I’m sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.
Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.
On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words describe things such as good or dirty. Soon you learn to put words together to express one’s idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication. __________ can remember the day when we spoke our first words.
| A．Few of us | B．No one | C．Most people | D．Someone |
When you were a little baby, you ___________.

One day my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been living alone for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often.
That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary(周年).
We went to a restaurant that, although not classical, was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said. "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I answered.
During the dinner, we had a pleasant conversation nothing special but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt（收据） from the same place Mother and I had dined. A note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: ‘I LOVE YOU’ and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.Nothing in life is more important than your family.

A 15-year-old student who invented a flashlight getting power from the holder's body heat is going home today from California with a big prize and a chance to do further research.
Ann Makosinski was the only Canadian among the four winners at Google's international science competition. Thousands of young scientists from around the world took part in the competition.
Winning the science and technology competition was "a surprise". Ann said, "I think it will have a great influence on my future."
Ann thanked her family for encouraging her interest in science and said that her first toy was a box of transistors(晶体管).
The ideas for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries and her friend's experience. When Ann visited a friend in the Philippines, she saw the friend couldn't study when it became dark because there was no electricity or light. She saw the need for a flashlight that has no batteries - Hollow Flashlight.
In her project, Ann wrote "I made two flashlights that do not use any batteries or harmful materials. They do not create any noise and will always work. The flashlight needs at least a 5℃temperature difference between the holder's body and the environment around to produce light."
A video of Ann explaining how she created the flashlight has been watched more than 1.4 million times on the Internet.
Though Ann was successful, she has not made a decision about her career path. Ann hope that she can find a way to join her love of film and science together.

Do you want to know how and why a fall leaf changes color? We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Leaves are the world’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing.
A chemical called “chlorophyll” in the leaves gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples, sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red colour. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn.
Which should be in the box?
| A．air | B．sugar | C．water | D．wind |
The underlined word “chlorophyll” means __________.
| A．叶绿素 | B．脂肪 | C．蛋白质 | D．淀粉 |
The leaves turn yellow because they are short of(缺少) __________.

| C．sunlight and water |
| D．sunlight and CO2 |
Which of the following is NOT true?
| A．When autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. |
| B．During winter trees live on the food they store in summer. |
| C．During winter some of yellow and orange colors are still in the leaves. |
| D．Trees begin to stop making food in summer. |
This passage tells us_____________.
| A．the plants can grow well only with the sunlight |
| B．there are all kinds of plants on the earth |
| C．not all the colors of the leaves are from chlorophyll |
| D．maple leaves change the color as other trees |
