下面是电视节目主持人Peter对夏令营Camp X﹣treme创办人Henry 的采访实录。请将下面方框中A、B、C三个采访问题填入相应的位置,完成下面三个小题。
Peter:Let's welcome Henry,the camp leader of the most popular summer camp in our city to Peter's Show!
Henry:Thank you,Peter!
Peter:Henry,why did you open up a camp?
Henry:Ten years ago,I spent three weeks at a summer camp and had the best time of my life.I remember every day I was there,and I still have friends from then.So,I decided I wanted other children to have the same experience as me.
Peter:(1)
Henry:Well,after I left school,I worked at a few summer camps.I wasn't a camp leader then and I didn't get any money for it,but I learned what a good leader needs to do.So,when I opened my own summer camp seven years ago,I was ready to become a camp leader.Since then I've organized lots of unforgettable activities.The kids love it.
Peter:(2)
Henry:Actually,it 's easy to make such a decision.I will think about what kids want to learn from a summer camp.They want adventure and exciting activities.They want to go home and say "You won't believe what I did!" So,extreme sports were the best idea.
Peter:(3)
Henry:Kids have been coming to my camp for many years now,and I hardly hear any kids or parents complain(抱怨).The only problem I have is when there are too many kids who want to join.I have to tell them to come back the following year.Of course,they aren't very happy with the news.
A.How long have you worked as a camp leader? B.Have you had any problems since the camp opened? C How did you decide what kind of camp you wanted to open? |
A:Hey,Jimmy ,what's wrong?
B:I had a fight with my best friend.He is upset.What should I do?
A:Well,you could write him a(1) .
B:I don't think(2) .I'm just not good at writing letters.
A:Maybe you should(3) him up.
B:No,I don't want to talk about it on the phone.
A:But you really should talk to him so that you can say you're sorry.
B:Yes,I know I should,but it's not easy.
A:Hey,I know.You could take(4) to the ball game.
B:That sounds great.He likes ball games.Thanks(5) your advice.
A:My pleasure.
Do you like reading?It is very important for us to learn or study through reading.But now many students say they don't have enough time to read.So we need some skills to help read more in less time while we are doing some reading in class.Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview(预读)—if your article is long as well as difficult,such as long magazine articles or science reports,previewing is very useful for you to get a general idea.
Here is how to preview.
●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Of course you can't get all the details by previewing.It tells you not to spend time on things you don't really want or need to read.
Skim(浏览)—if your article is short and simple,like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper,skimming is a good way to get a main idea.Here's how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast.Sweep across each line.
●Pick up only a few key words in each line
Everybody skims differently.You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same passage,but perhaps we'll get the idea of what it's all about.
I wish all of us could read more books and enjoy reading every day!
