Watching kids’ cartoons can be an effective way to learn a language. The basic plot lines of kids’ cartoons are fairly simple, the characters speak more slowly and the dialogue is typically standard and casual. Here are four worldwide popular kids’ cartoons which may help you with your English learning.
Peppa Pig
Peppa Pig, the pink piggy, has gained worldwide popularity. There are even videos showing an American child speaking in a British accent to her mom after watching the popular cartoon.
The Simpsons
The Simpsons in the 90’s was smart, culturally savvy (有见识的), and unbelievably entertaining TV about an average American family. At its height, no show — animated or otherwise — could reach The Simpsons’ greatness. From the cleverness of “Marge vs. the Monorail” to everything Lisa Simpson ever said, The Simpsons was fearless and game-changing television.

Sazae-san
Sazae-san is more than a kids’ show. It’s a cultural institution, a national treasure and the longest-running animated series in the world, ever! It’s about a typical Japanese big family living together in Tokyo. The central character is an outspoken but somewhat clumsy woman in her early 20s, living with her husband, son, father, mother, brother and sister all under one roof.

One year, a newspaper of the United States published an announcement — the Horticultural Institute offered a reward at a high price for the pure white marigold (金盏花). The high reward attracted so many people, but in nature besides golden, the marigold is brown;it is not easy to create the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people forgot that announcement.
One normal day after 20 years, the Horticultural Institute accidentally received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold. On that day the news spread like wildfire. It proved to be an old woman of over 70 years old. The institute had always been hesitating over the fact that the letter stated with certainty that the seeds could bloom pure white marigold.
Those seeds finally took root in the earth. The wonder appeared after one year: large fields of pure white marigold swung in the light wind. As a result, the old woman became a new focus.
Originally, the old woman was just a flower-lover. When she happened to read the announcement 20 years ago, her heart kept beating wildly. But her eight children all opposed her decision. After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics (遗传学) couldn’t complete what the experts could never accomplish! Still, the old woman didn’t change her mind and went on working. Year after year, through many cycles of spring sowing and autumn harvest, the old woman’s husband died; her children flew far and high; a lot of things happened in her life but only the desire to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart. Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden, she saw a marigold, which was not nearly white but as white as silver or snow.
Such a difficult problem as even experts couldn’t deal with was readily solved by an old woman who didn’t understand genetics. Was it a wonder Take root in the heart and even the most common seed can grow into a wonder!

Traditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, head master of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.
28. The author believes that a single-sex school would __________.
A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
B. help boys to be more competitive in schools.
C.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"
D. naturally strengthen boys’ traditional image of a man 平行班
29. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.
A. behave more responsibly. B. grow up pore healthily.
C.receive a better education. D. perform relatively better.
30. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.
A. teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit
B. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
31. What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 8” mean
A. sharp B. lovely C. serious D. dull
D
Almost everyone has heard of the expression “the calm before the storm.” It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.
British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become still and the winds would drop.
Science has given us the reason. According to U.S. website How Stuff Works, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid (湿热的) air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the “eye of the technology storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的) winds.
The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A good method is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.
However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms take place after calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and fierce winds.
So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That’s the most reliable way to predict the next display of nature’s temper (脾气).
32. What is the function of Paragraph 3
A. To describe how the eye of the storm comes into being.
B. To stress why tornadoes and hurricanes are destructive.
C. To explain why a peaceful period occurs before some storms.
D. To remind how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.
33. How far away may the storm be if you count 15 seconds between a lightning flash and a thunder clap
A. One kilometer. B. Three kilometers.
C. Four kilometers. D. Five kilometers. 平行班
34. What can we learn from the text
A. Storms don’t usually last long.
B. It is not always quiet before a storm.
C. Storms have a big influence on our life.
D. Weather reports often fail to predict a storm.
35. Where is this text most likely from
A. A travel journal. B. A science fiction.
C. A literature review. D. A geography magazine.

Emotional intelligence helps us to better understand ourselves and others. It can help us make better decisions, ones that are in harmony with our true beliefs and values.

【参考例文】
One possible version:
Dear Sir,
I am Li Hua, a Chinese student who is studying in New York now. I have learned from your advertisement that a Chinese china exhibition will be held in the local museum in October, so I am writing to apply for the position as a student volunteer to promote our cultural exchange.
I can speak fluent English as well as standard Chinese. Besides, I once learned a lot about china in our school china club and have been crazy about collecting varieties of cups made of china. Young and energetic, I’m keen on communicating with different people. Thus, I’m convinced that I’m qualified for the job.
I would be grateful if my application could meet with your approval. Should I be offered the chance, I would do everything I can to be a qualified volunteer. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Attention, everyone! Please pause your conversations for an announcement about what to do during bad weather! Safety is our first concern, especially in winter. Recently, it’s supposed to get very cold—about -10°C tonight, and -15°C tomorrow morning. What’s worse, it will be even farther down to -20°C by tomorrow evening. Please make sure you come to school with enough clothes to keep you warm, and you should also have a pair of boots you can change into. Highland Public School District officials will consider travel conditions before making a decision about whether to cancel school. If school is closed because of winter weather or another reason, an announcement will be made by 6:00 a.m. on that day by local radio stations and television stations. We may need to inform your parents by phone as well, so if your parents’ phone numbers have changed, please tell the school. Let’s make sure we all have a happy and safe winter! Thank you for your attention.
