（2） Fred， nineteen， spent last year in Germany with George's family． In turn， George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America．
Fred， a lively young man， knew little German when he arrived， but after two months' study， the language began to come to him． （3） Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room． They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States． There were almost no outside activities．
（4） The father's word was law， and all activities were around the family rather than one of the members． Fred found the food too simple at first． Also， he missed having a car．
"Back home， you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time． In Germany， you walk， but you soon learn to like it．
Meanwhile， in America， Mike， a German boy， was also forming his idea． "I suppose I should criticize（ 批 评 ） American schools，" he said． "It is far too easy by our level． （5） In Germany we do nothing but study． Here we take part in many outside activities． I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens． There should be some middle ground between the two．"

Is there a connection between music and language？ According to recent studies， the answer is yes： （1） Here， we look at two examples．
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability． （2） The people in the first group were musicians， while those in the second group had no musical training． The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly．
（3） Think about violinists in an orchestra （管弦乐团）． When the violinists play with the group， they hear their own instrument and many others， too． But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing， and pay no attention to the other sounds． In this way， musicians are able to focus on certain sounds， even in a room with lots of noise．
Schlaug， a doctor at Harvard Medical School， works with stroke （中风） patients． Because of their illness， these people cannot say their names， addresses， or other information normally． However， they can still sing． （4） Why does this work？ Schlaug isn't sure． Music seems to make different parts of the brain work， including the damaged （损坏的） parts． This might help patients to use that part of the brain again．
Music improves concentration （注意力）， memory， listening skills， and our overall language abilities． （5） Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp （敏锐的） as we get older． Music is not only enjoyable， it's also good for us in many other ways．

Getting English Language Learners to Put Down the Books and Have Some Fun
Even if there's so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting，a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun.Here are some suggestions.
★Communicate with strangers.If you live in an area filled with English speakers，get students out of the classroom.（1） .Students may not speak to strangers，but they'll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learnt in the classroom are actually used in everyday speech.
★Let their guard down.One difficult thing for learners is confidence （自信）when they speak English.Fun activities，especially those outside of the classroom，give students a chance to feel relaxed.（2） .It may take a bit of time at the beginning，but once students get into it，they'll start to get confidence.
★Make use of English media （媒体）.Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases.（3） .They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie.If they're not sure about something they hear，it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom.
★（4） .Casual （随意的）conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations.They can talk all they want about expressions to use while dining out or informal words to use with friends，but it takes a trip to McDonald's or a picnic in the park for many of those expressions to truly set in.
| A． |
You can let students go to a movie in English. |
| B． |
Put them among other English speakers. |
| C． |
They may hate to speak English. |
| D． |
Hear or use English in situations. |
| E． |
They will speak more freely. |

Be thankful to your parents.Think about everything that your parents have done for you,you are sure to feel thankful to them.（3） .Give them a nice gift or do some housework without being asked.They will be happy with you for these actions.
（4） .Talk to your parents about things that you care about and your feelings about these things.Often talk to them，and your parents can understand you better.If so，it's easy for them to discuss things that you are interested in and develop the relationship.
Accept that your parents are different.They grow up in a different situation with different technologies.（5） .Try to remind them of any problem in their relationships with their parents because of these differences.Use this information when you talk to your parents to improve your relationship with them.

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

It seems that food deliverymen（送货员） are always in a hurry． They wear blue， red or yellow helmets and many of them don't follow traffic rules． （1） They use mobile phones while driving．
These rude behaviors have caught the public's attention． In the first half of 2017， food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai， according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau． That means every two and a half days， a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road．
（2） The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious customers may be the answer． Many companies will fine（罚款） a deliveryman up to 2，000 yuan， if he fails to deliver an order on time， reported China Daily． （3）
To solve the problem， food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems， noted CRI Online． （4） Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety． Now in Shenzhen， if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice， then he will be banned（禁止） from driving food service delivery vehicles for a whole year．

Too many people want others to be their friends， but they don't give friendship back． That is why some friendships don't last very long．（1） You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you． Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules： be honest； be generous（慷慨的）； be understanding．
Honesty is where a good friendship starts． Friends must be able to trust one another．If you don't tell the truth， people usually find out． If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest， you may lose your friend's trust．（2）
