There are three common questions about how to improve our English.
The first question is about real English. Some students say that they want to learn real English. But they don’t know what to do. Watching English films is a good way. When we are tired after studying for a long time, we can watch an English film to relax. While watching it, we can also learn real English at the same time.
The second question is about speaking. Most students feel too shy to talk with foreigners. “Where are you from ” “What do you think of China ” These are both good questions to start a conversation. Before we begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.
The third question is about vocabulary. We want to remember all the new words. The problem is that we write them down but forget them soon. Write eight or ten words on a piece of paper and put it in our bedroom. Try to remember them. Spell the words whenever we see them, and change them every day. There is another way, when you’re shopping, counting the English words or saying the English names for everything you see as much as possible.
51．According to the second paragraph, what can we do to learn real English
A．Talk to foreign friends. B．Remember all words.
C．Watch English films. D．Write down words on paper.
52．In this passage, what’s the problem with most of the students speaking English
A．Too shy to talk to foreigners. B．Don’t know how to learn real English.
C．Can’t remember English words. D．Want to watch English films.
53．How can we start a conversation with foreigners
A．By taking a deep breath. B．By looking at them and smile.
C．By introducing ourselves to them. D．By asking some good questions.
54．If we want to remember new words, we can write them down and ________ whenever we see them.
A．search them B．forget them C．spell them D．say them out
55．Which part of a magazine may the passage come from
A．Learning tips. B．English stories. C．Foreign culture. D．Students’ life.
C
Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers（店主）found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day The newspapers, radios and TV tell children what they should do—buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present—not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

A．there was a Mother’s Day B．there was a Children’s Day

Xie Xiaohua is a special education teacher. She has won the hearts of hundreds of children and is called Mum Xiaohua by many of them.
“It is my greatest happiness to care for them,” said 49-year-old Xie. She has been working at Yiyuan County Special Education School in Zibo, Shandong Province for 27 years.
Xie knows the difference between special education and general education. She takes care of each student according to their physical conditions. And she also helps them with learning and their daily life. She used to help carry a student to restrooms, the dining hall, classrooms and the dormitory for nine years until the student graduated（毕业）from the school.
In 2003, the school set up a rehabilitation（康复）centre and Xie worked harder. To make sure every child received the best training, she made special plans for them. Then she began to teach them patiently the basic skills of taking care of themselves. She also spent lots of time training the children with hearing and speech problems. That often made her throat ache.
2015, the school started offering door-to-door education to students with physical problems. Besides Xie, there are over 30 teachers teaching and helping those students. The teachers have walked over 60, 000 kilometres over the past seven years because many students live in mountain villages.
“Although we feel tired sometimes, we feel our work is valuable after seeing the students’ progress, even just a little bit,” Xie said.

I traveled to Blefuscu, where the Emperor was very kind to me.
One day I went for a walk on the beach. I was feeling sad and unhappy, and I was thinking about England. Suddenly I saw a boat in the water. It was a real ship’s boat, not one of the little boats of the Blefuscu people. This was a real boat, big enough for someone of my size! l was very excited, and l ran into the sea. I swam out to the boat, and climbed onto it. Then I took the boat back to the shore, and tied it up carefully.
I told the Emperor of Blefuscu about the boat.
“I’m lonely here,” I told him. “I want to go back to England. Maybe I can use that boat to go home, if you will help me. It’ll be a long journey, but I’m sure I can do it.”
“Very well,” he said, “I’ll help you, Gulliver. I’ll give you food and drink to put in the boat.”
The Emperor ordered his men to prepare my boat. They gave me a lot of meat and wine. They also put some animals into the boat—six cows, two bulls and eight sheep. After a few days everything was ready.
l sailed away from Blefuscu. The sea was very big and lonely. After some days, I saw a large ship, and I followed it. It was an English ship, and one of the sailors saw me. They stopped, and took me on board. They were going to England, and they took me with them.
The captain was a friendly man. I told him about my adventures(冒险) in Lilliput and Blefuscu. He did not believe me.
“Little men!” he laughed. “You tell a good story, sir,” he said, “but it’s an impossible story, all the same.” And he laughed again.
“Then where do you think this came from ” I asked him. I put my hand in my pocket, and took out one of the tiny sheep from Blefuscu. I showed it to the captain. Now he believed my story!

My Favorite Chinese Festival
As we all know, there are many traditional festivals in China. Among them, I like the Mid-Autumn Festiva best.
The Mid-Autumn Festival usually falls in September or October every year. People believe that the full moon is a symbol of reunion. They often give best wishes to each other at this special time. On this day, people usually go back home to get together, enjoying a large meal with their family. At night, they admire the full moon, share delicious mooncakes with their family and tell stories about Chang’e.
Spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with families can make me feel the love and warmth of my family. And another reason that I like it is because my mother’s birthday is on this day!
