Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently.
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding.
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
● Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
● Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
● Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
| A．What should you do? |
| B．Listen for the general idea of the conversation. |
| C．But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all! |
| D．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! |
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
G .Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

_1_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _2_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _3_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
_4 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 5 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
| A．That’s easy. |
| B．Enjoy your own club! |
| C．Invite a designer to join you. |
| D．What are you interest in? |
E. Some vacation is just around the corner.
F. Then you need to p ick a name for your club.
G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.
How to manage your time
Does it seem like you never have enough time and wonder where all your time goes? Do you know someone who usually gets work done before it is due? Maybe they use their time well. You can learn how to spend your time wisely, too. These steps may help you find that you have more time than you think!
1
Write down major due dates on your calendar. Estimate how long it will take to do each project. Allow yourself more time than you think you will really need.
Make a master schedule which should include the following activities.
— all required school activities
— work schedule
— after-school activities
— blank spaces for unknown activities
A master schedule can help you keep track of all the things that you need to do during the semester. If you know what you have to do and when you need to do it, you can prepare better to meet the deadlines.
2
Plan when to do all your tasks for the week. Schedule time to study for tests, read your textbooks, write papers, go to work, be at meetings. Leave enough time for your chores（零星琐事）and household duties.
3
Make a “to do” list the night before or the first thing in the morning. If you write down what you need to do, your mind will be free to study. You won’t worry and spend time thinking about what you have to do next.
4
Use it for a few weeks, then ask yourself some questions. Are you getting your schoolwork done on time? Are you getting more things done? Do you feel you have control of your time?
Yes? Then your new schedule is working well.
No? Then you should look at your schedule to see how it can be improved.
5
Even a well-planned schedule can’t help if you don’t follow it.
It is very important to manage your time wisely.
As you get older, you will have more responsibilities. You will find it easier to succeed if you learn to manage your time well.
| A．See how well your new schedule works. |
| B．Plan by the week. |
| C．Cut out wasted time. |
| D．Follow your schedule closely. |
E. Plan by the semester.
F. Plan each d
ay.
G. Learn how to save your time.
Once you stand behind a lectern(讲台) you need something to say, and you want it to be very interesting.The excuse people have for avoiding public speaking is, “I don’t have anything to say. My life is boring.’’ 1
How can you express yourself and your message? Here is a list of questions to ask yourself:
What is your philosophy? By what values do you live your life? List the key moments of your life. 2

What subjects and issues are you certain about? 3 To make flowers grow? To create world peace? Then share your story with the world!
4 Share your favourie jokes.
What makes you angry? Share how you would change teh world for the better if you could.
5 Speak about what catches your attention at the moment. Don’t have enough time in the day for all your work? Give a speech on that topic! It will perhaps help you solve that problem.
So, what do you have to say? Challenge yourself and discover your voice!
| A．What makes you laugh? |
| B．Do you have a sad story to share? |
| C．You may not think so at the moment. |
| D．What are you struggling with right now? |
E. But in fact you do have a message to share.

How Can a Parent Help?
Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a job’s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult’s need for rapid content, the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from my book Ready or Not, Here Life Comes, which parents can take to prevent what I call “work-life unreadiness.”_________You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Regularly review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings, like difficulty in communicating well or cooperating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.
________Kids need a range of real role models. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying “I have no idea.” They can change their minds 200 times, but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.
_______Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn; parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job. Kids need plenty of practice developing effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities(优先).
_________Playing video games encourages immediate content（满足）. And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way. At the same time, listening through earphones to the songs for a long time encourages kids to stay inside instead of participating in other outdoor activities. All these activities can prevent the growth of children’s communication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained (持续的) concentration they will need for most jobs.
_________They should know how to deal with setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think critically. Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.
What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood? Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate. Most of all, these new adults must feel that they are respected and supported by a family that appreciates them.
A hobby is an investment of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to develop more than one type of hobby. When it comes to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.
Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have. When you have a talent like painting or woodworking, it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill. Skill can be developed and challenged as you go along. It is not a necessary requirement. A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you’re a professional at it.]
Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others. It can be a lot more fun to become a member of a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement. It’s important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts that do what you do.
Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you. Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living. Just make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.
But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it’s a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.
| A．However, hobbies don’t have to be skill related. |
| B．Most hobbies can easily be done within your own home, at your leisure. |
| C．Look one up or start your own. |
| D．Read hobby books to learn more about your chosen hobby! |
E. Make a list of things that you enjoy or don’t know about.
F. It can be a necessary part of selecting the hobby that is right for you.
G. Whether it’s full time, part time or not at all, you must decide whether your hobby applies to you.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. _ What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. Together , you and your teen can work out a time—table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
| A．A parent’s attitude will influence their teen’s emotions. |
| B．Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite. |
| C．They will only make the situation worse. |
| D．Encourage your teen to relax. |
E. The best thing is simply to listen.
F. Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly.
