In recent years， a growing number of Chinese books and movies have been translated into other languages，（1） They have been learning Chinese and are interested in Chinese culture．Anna is one of them．Before she translated JinYong's novel Legends of the Condor Heroes（《射雕英雄传》），the writer was little known to English readers．（2）
But Anna managed to do it．Impressed（使……印象深刻）by the book's themes（主题） of good against evil，loyalty（忠诚）and love，as well as Chinese philsophy（哲学） ，Anna hoped to bring it to new readers．After five years of work， the translated book was published in 2018．（3） Many people think Anna did a good job．
Anna studied at the University of Oxford．（4） After the trip she became interested in China and began to learn Chinese．She calls herself "a clumsy（笨拙的） student， just like Guo Jing from Legends of the Condor Heroes， but one of loyal heart"．
（5） Last year， he translated the animated movie Ne Zha．He said．"I see China's stronger cultural influences．And we have a growing number of students majoring in Chinese．More Chinese stories will appear in front of new audiences．"
A．Like Anna， another translator David also learned Chinese in college． B．She took a trip to China at the age of 21． C．Many of the translators are young people． D．One reason for this was that his works were too hard to translate． E．It was reprinted（再版） seven times within several months in the UK． |
Our class had a weekly class meeting this week． We talked about how to deal with lies， hoates （骗局） or rumors（谣言）． Here are the stories some students told．
Zhang Wei： Yesterday my friend Jim went to school without his homework． He told his teacher that his dog ate it． It was just an excuse， he made it to cover the fact that he didn't do his homework． The teacher knew about that and made him stay to finish his homework after school． Sometimes we think we can avoid trouble by making excuses when we do something wrong， but we're really making the things worse．
Chen Ping： Last week I got a menage． It said， "A little girl called Julia has got brain cancer． The girl will get three cents from America Online each time this message is forwarded（转发）． So please be kind and forward this to everyone you know． If not， you will have bad luck for a year．" In fact， it is just one of the silly chain letters to cheat you and waste your time．
Xu Yan： A big earthquake hit Ya'an， Sichuan on April 20th． The earthquake was strongly felt by people in Chengdu． A rumor said Chengdu would be hit by a bigger earthquake in the coming days．
For the next several days， thousands of people camped outside their houses at night because of fear． Besides， many people rushed to buy food， water， medicine and so on． Some businessmen used people's fear of earthquake to help sell their goods at higher prices． Of course， nothing happened in the end．
（1）What's the weekly class meeting about？
（2）Why didn't Jim take his homework to school as a matter of fact？
（3）What does Chen Ping think of the chain letters？
（4）Where did many people in Chengdu camp at night when the rumor came？
（5）Who sold goods at higher prices after hearing the rumor？
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．happy
（5）The writer encourage us to ．

Hello and welcome to "Words and Their Stories"． We will research into some commonly used words and expressions． As with other languages， American English is rich in expressions that come from animals． Today we will talk about the wolf．
Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America． Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s， to native （土著的） Americans， wolves often meant being brave．
However， in English， wolves are not to be trusted． Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals． Whatever the reason， wolves were killed in many places． So many died that they almost became endangered． They also became known as bad animals．
To begin with， there is an expression lone wolf． If we call somebody a lone wolf， he isn't a bad person， but he may like to do things by himself． In fact， he sometimes makes you think he doesn't want to be around people because he dislikes them．
Now， let's move on to the home． Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food． In other words， the child eats too quickly and without care． And if someone says a child was raised by wolves， that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal．
A wolf call is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks． But a wolf call is not a nice thing． These men sound rude． And trust me， most women really hate wolf calls． So， they don't help a man in the game of love．
By the way， there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story： a wolf in sheep's clothing． A wolf in sheep's clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside． It tells us not to be fooled by appearances．
（1）What can we know after reading the passage？____
| A． |
Wolves are dangerous and should be killed in order to protect other animals． |

Both language and music play a huge role in our culture． Here are some of their similarities．
（1）Both language and music have a writing system．
In English we record language using letters． Similarly， we use notes to record music． Just as you are reading letters and find meaning in them， musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music． So just as you read English， you can read music． By writing pieces of text or music， we are able to share experiences through time． I can read the ideas or hear the works of someone who lived hundreds of years ago， which is really exciting．
（2）
You can guess where someone is from by listening to the language they use．In the same way，styles of music are different around the world， giving us the chance to understand many different cultures， This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don't like British pop music， you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music．
（3）Both share feelings．
How do you know that I am angry？ Of course you can see it in my face， but you will know for sure through my words， Similarly， music can show you exactly how the composer （作曲者） was or is feeling． When I'm happy， I want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate my happiness； and I listen to slow and quiet music when I'm feeling down． I think we have all used music to express our feelings， often combining （结合）it with language in the form of song lyrics．
（1）Which of the following is the best for the blank？
A． Both are from daily life
B． Both bring us happiness
C． Both have a sound system
D． Both vary （变化） with culture．
（2）According to the passage， when the writer feels unhappy， he might listen to ．
A． scary movie music
B． exciting rock music
C． loud electronic music
D． sad piano music
（3）The underlined word "it" in the passage refers to " "．

（4）Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage？
A． We use notes to write music．
B． We can write music if we speak English．
C． We can understand different cultures in music．
D． We can share the composer's feelings in his or her music．
Many people have a fear of speaking in front of people． According to a study， it has an influence on 3in every 4people． This fact is surprising and worrying， as most jobs require the speaking ability． The following will help you to make a speech better．
Write note cards． Write main ideas on your cards． Don't write details． Put in some fun facts， questions， and other activities on the cards to share with the class． Don't look at your note cards for a long time while speaking． If necessary， you're only going to have a quick look at the card for information， not read every word．
Smile at your class． When it comes to speaking， there's nothing that draws your class into your speech better than a good old﹣fashioned smile． Be happy， because you're about to teach your class something they didn't know before． Studies have shown that smiles are infectious． That means once you smile， it's hard for everyone else not to smile． So if you want your speech to go off well， smile． That'll make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile．
Make eye contact． Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or note cards． Relax． Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time． Talk the same way now． Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once． That way， everyone will feel like you're communicating with them． Also， you'll look like you know what you're talking about．
Use hand motions． Move your hands along as you talk， using them to express your key points and keep the class interested． It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place．

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？

It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid ，which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time，The Kid was made in black and white and was silent （made without any sound，not even the characters talking）.The story is about the relationship between " the Tramp"，played by Chaplin，and his adopted （领养的）child，played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year﹣old boy breaks windows and runs away，so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy，it also has some tragedy，reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please，and it is said that if he could，he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre，a dancer brought his son，Jackie Coogan，on stage，and Chaplin knew he had his co﹣star （联袂主演者）.Chaplin later wrote， "All children in some form have talents；the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.
Like the Kid in the film，Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old，his mum became too ill to loo after her sons，so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based （基于）on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. "Perhaps that's why the film had some truth，" he said.
（1）The second paragraph mainly talks about .
| A． |
why The Kid was made |
| B． |
when The Kid was on |

how The Kid got successful |
| D． |
what The Kid is about |
（2）We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan .

always visited the theatre alone |
| B． |
was possibly talented in acting |
| C． |
knew much about Chaplin before |
| D． |
played every role in Chaplin's films |
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin？
| A． |
He had a poor childhood experience. |
| B． |
He was brought up by his father. |
| C． |
He looked after his mother very well. |

A life on film. |
You may study differently from your friends，but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common.They love doing things together，such as going to movies and concerts，shopping，or just sitting at a small cafe.Since they take a lot of the same school subjects，they would love to study together，but they find this impossible.Their working styles are so completely different that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean，open space，while Maria works best with books，papers and other things around her.Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room，but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on.Kelly can sit for hours without moving，and often gets all her homework done in one sitting.Maria，however，is always getting up，and says that she thinks best when she's on the move.
You might be asking yourself：which way of studying gets better results？Many people believe that a silent，tidy setting（环境）is the way to go，▲.Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus（聚焦）their attention，because it makes them form a "wall" in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So，if you're a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center，don't worry about it.If you work in total silence，that's OK，too.Judging from Kelly 's and Maria's study habits，the best way to study is the way that works for you.In their very different ways，both of them do well in school，and both finish their work within the required time as well.
（1）Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to .
A.discuss two different study habits
B.compare the differences in their hobbies
C.show the importance of a good study habit
D.express the writer's worry about their friendship
（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4？
A.and they have difficulty in study
B.and it can be true for most of them
C.but that doesn't seem necessarily true
D.but nobody does research on this question
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage？
A.Students who like to study in silence will be more successful.
B.Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C.Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D.Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage？
A.Are you studying the "right" way？
B.How can you improve your study habits？
C.Is it possible for friends to study well together？
D.What are the advantages of different study settings？
You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby.At first，you learned them only by hearing other people talk.Now that you're a reader，you have another way to learn words.What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means？（1） .
Say it
First sound it out.Then say it to yourself.（2） .Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print.So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!
Use context
If this doesn't work，take the next step：look at the context the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence：When it rained，the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.（3） .Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.
（4）
If the context doesn't help，look at the parts of the word.Does it have any parts you know？These can help you understand what it means.If you don't know the meaning of miner，try looking at parts of the word.You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things.A lot of times， ﹣er at the end of a word means "a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
Look it up
If the three steps above don't work，you can look it up.（5） ，either a book or online.
Nobody knows the meaning of every word，but good readers know how to understand words they don't know.
Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage.Each choice should be used only once.
A.Use word parts
B.Look at the words
C.It might sound like a word you know
D.You can find the word in a dictionary
E.Following some easy steps can help you
F.If the word shelter doesn't look familiar，look at the words around it
From an early age，we were taught that if we wanted to be successful，we had to study hard and get good results at school.In fact，good students may just end up doing jobs they don't like，and some even lead an unhappy life.Why is it like that？
In some parents' eyes，school grades matter most for their kids.In reality，there are many things to consider besides the school subjects，for example，how to be a happy person，what to do to keep healthy，and how to get along well with others.That is to say，school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.
Doing well in school is different from doing well in life.Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life.You may have already known that some famous people，like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs，didn't do very well at school or even failed to finish school.In fact，there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school.They seize （抓住）every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.
Life is really a long lesson，so long that you can't define（界定）a person's success by just one section （部分）of it.If you have already finished school，keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life.If you are still studying，whether you are good or bad at school，don't take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it.Keep learning to make the most of your talents（天赋）.That's how you can live a happy and successful life.
（1）What's the writer's main purpose of writing Paragraph（段落）One？
A.To introduce a topic.
B.To give examples.
C.To provide a solution.
（2）In some parents' eyes，what's the most important for their kids based on Paragraph Two？
A.Being happy.
B.Staying healthy.
C.Getting good grades.
（3）What does the underlined expression "big shots" in the third paragraph mean？
A.好学生.
B.神枪手.
C.大人物.
（4）According to the passage，which sentence may agree with the writer's idea？
A.It takes money to be successful.
B.School grades aren't everything.
C.Successful people never finish school.
（5）What can we infer （推断） from the text？
A.Old habits die hard.
B.Leaning is a lifelong journey.
C.Good grades always promise a successful life.
Do you get lots of reading tasks as part of your homework？ You might wish that you could read faster．There are some people who say that you can learn to read at super﹣high speeds． But experts disagree on this idea．
"Speed reading is not actually possible，" said Elizabeth Schotter，a scientist at the University of South Florida， US． Schotter pointed out that people who say that they can teach others how to speed read are usually doing it to make money by selling courses and books．
In fact， speed reading has been made known to people since 1959， when US educator Evelyn Wood introduced a speed reading program． Several US presidents have even asked their officers to take speed reading courses． However， there is no real science behind speed reading．
Schotter explained that reading is a task difficult to finish． It includes four steps： seeing a word， getting back its meaning from your memory， connecting it to other words in the same sentence， and then moving on to the next word．This process uses many parts of the brain at one time． It can't be sped up．
Some people who say they are able to speed read are simply skimming． Skimming involves reading a passage quickly and only looking for certain words or sentences．
Skimmers can figure out the main idea of a passage﹣especially if it's a topic they're familiar with﹣﹣but they will not be able to remember all the pieces of information．
So is there a way to become a faster reader？ Research suggests that you should try to improve the number of your words and simply read more．
（1）According to Schotter， which of the following is TRUE？
A． It's good for students to read at super high speeds．
B． Speed reading courses are supported by real science．
C． Reading includes four steps，it's not easy to finish．
D． Speed reading courses and books are useful for us．
（2）What can we know from Paragraph 5？
A． Skimmers will not forget all the pieces of information．
B． You must read the passage carefully when you are skimming it．
C． Skimming focuses on all the words or sentences of a passage．
D． By skimming， skimmers may find the main idea of a passage．
（3）According to this passage， how to read faster？
A． Learn more words and read more．
B． Taking speed reading courses can help．
C． Read more books about speed reading．
D． See the words at super﹣high speeds．
Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age．Especially， as children and teenagers， even adults， people make their friends based on proximity （邻近） more than anything else． Even in a college classroom，the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests． It's the people they really sit next to． Clearly， who stands to you has the greatest influence on you．As Jim Rohn has widely said． "You are average （平均） of five people you spend the most time with．"
Over the past ten months， I've paid Ryan， it Famous writer of several bestselling books， to help with
the book I'm writing． Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are． For example， every time I send him a drab （草稿）， he shows me how it could be 10 times better，and he holds me to that standard．
▲ It's because that I don't know what I don't know． Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful．
Like Ryan，my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have．He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers．He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years．Richard always performs at high levels，and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection （反映） on him． It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure （压力） to help me make great progress in organizing author training．
In a word，you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential．Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change．If you don't change your environment， your progress will be very slow． Who you stay with has huge importance． You can't ignore this．
（1）Why did the writer quote （引用） Jim Rohn's words in Paragraph 1？
A．To support the writer's opinion．
B．To introduce the writer's best friend．
C．To show Jim Rohn's working ability．

（2）Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3？
A． It's not that my workmates' abilities are low．
B． It's not that my working ability was born low．
C． It's not that' e friends based on proximity．
D． It's not that I've paid Ryan to help me with my book．
（3）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to （指代）？
A． The writer's performance．
B． Jim Rohn's famous saying．
C． Richard's different experience．
D． Richard's strictness with the writer．
（4）The writer mainly wants to tell us that ．
A． we can improve our working abilities by ourselves
B． we must pay attention to our talent and potential
C． we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levels
D． we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests
Robots Are Now Teaching English!
Get ready． Robots are about to invade our classroom． From Korea to Japan to the United States， schools are putting English﹣speaking robots in front of their students． In Korea， robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens． The young students say that the robots are fun， but are these children really learning anything？
I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does． A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals （个体）．__▲__and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student． I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data （数据）is widely used in the world．
4 Comments on "Robots Are Now Teaching English!"
Sara says：
In my opinion， schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots． Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations．
Keiko says：
I don't think you can learn a language without real human interaction．After all， robots cannot think as humans do．
Hassan says：
Robots might be able to help people lean a language， but I don't think they should replace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings．
Nancy says：
I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom． A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person．
