America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality(好客)at home and enjoy your visit in America!
The underlined phrase "pick up" in Paragraph 1may mean "_________________".

A.put down B.give up C.pay no attention to D.continue

From the passage, we can know_________________.

A.Americans are always generous with their time.
B.Americans don’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.
C.Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.
D.Chinese friendships develop faster than American friendships.

This passage is most probably written for __________________.

All over the world, the global diet includes fast food—prepared items from inexpensive restaurants, snack bars, or food stands. Some examples of American fast food are hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fried chicken, and so on. Some types of international fast foods might be German sausage and Schnitzel, Italian pizza, Japanese sushi and tempura, Chinese eggrolls and noodles and the like. The variety of fast foods all over the world is growing. Even so, this kind of style is becoming worldwide. Fast-food places usually prepare and serve the items quickly. Many are part of fast-food chains (eating places with the same name and company owner). For example, the biggest and most famous American fast-food chain serves hamburgers in nearly every part of the world.
For several reasons, many people choose fast food. First, it is quick and convenient. Second, it is cheaper than special home-cooked meals or formal restaurant dinners. And third, it is easy to find every eating place with the same company name. The atmosphere and style of most fast-food places is casual, comfortable, and familiar.
Why do other eaters stay away from this fast, easy kind of nourishment? The main reason is its low nutritional value. Fast food doesn’t have large amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and the like-elements necessary for good nutrition and health. In contrast (相反), most types of fast food have a lot of fat, sugar, or salt in them. Possibly, these things can cause or increase health disorders, like heart disease, and some kinds of cancer. Recently, these quick and easy kinds of world wide nourishment are generally getting better and more healthful. For example, many fast-food restaurants now have put vegetable items on their menus.
Of course, human beings around the world don’t always eat in fast-food places.The variety of food choices is large now and is probably going to increase. The number of food preparation methods is growing too. Cooking customs, eating habits, and food preferences all over the world are becoming more healthful. In these and other ways, the global diet is changing.  
From Paragragh 1,we can know that __________________.

A.America serves four kinds of fast food
B.we used to have more types of fast food
C.different countries have different types of fast food
D.America serves fewer fast food than other countries

The underlined phrase “stay away from” means __________.

A.move away from B.disorder C.get out of D.dislike

The passage is mainly about ___________.

A.the changing global diet
B.the increasing types of diet
C.the reason why people choose fast food
D.the reason why people dislike fast food

Hi, Tom,

    Thanks for your message and I am glad that you wrote to me for ideas.

    I remember when I was learning English, I felt uncomfortable about speaking. I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. I now feel a lot more confident about speaking, so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience.

    Don' t worry about making mistakes.Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won't notice your mistakes.

    Use every chance you get to speak. For example,it's a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class.

    Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can join a conversation group,such as the chat groups in the study centre. They are free to join.

    Practice speaking online. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world.

    I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems.

Best wishes,

Eliza

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.

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.

A.It takes money to be successful.

B.School grades aren't everything.

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.

D.To prove Jim Rohn is a great person.

(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.
