“有趣的英语学习”
If you want to describe something as nice and easy, you can say it is “a tea party”, but if something is very ▲ , you can say it is “no tea party”. Maybe you took a very long journey by bus to visit your family and the bus was not very comfortable. Then you could say, “Well, that bus ride was no tea party, but I’m here!”
“A tempest in a teapot” or “a storm in a teacup” is when something makes people angry or worried, but it’s actually very serious. “A tempest” is a storm, but one that’s small enough to be in a teapot can’t cause much damage (损害). Perhaps your bus was late to arrive, and it made all the passengers very angry. You could tell your family, “Everyone was angry about waiting, but then the bus arrived, so it was a storm in a teacup really.”
Fruitcakes are often eaten at Christmas with black English tea. Calling someone “nutty as a fruitcake” is a way of saying they’re crazy. This is because “nutty” and “nuts” are also ways of saying crazy, and fruitcakes are usually made with both fruit and nuts. So if your cousin asked if you were taking a bus home when you left, you might say: “You must think I’m nutty as a fruitcake. I’m going to fly home!”

Tuesday/Week 2
音乐教送课到乡村
As the new spring semester began, music teacher Zhang Chong was quite happy to see her students at the rural schools in Jilin Province.
Zhang, 41, has been working at Yangma Experimental Primary School in Longtan District for over 10 years. In 2007, after graduating from Yanshan University in Hebei, Zhang refused several job opportunities to be a music teacher or a member of orchestras (管弦乐队) in large cities. “I grew up in a rural area, and both my grandfather and father were village teachers,” she said. “Therefore, I decided to come back to my hometown and teach the children in the countryside to sing, helping them realize their dreams.”
“In March 2018, when Zhang got the news from the principal that students at primary schools in three villages of Datun, Zhaozhou and Huangni had no music teachers because they lacked teachers, she immediately volunteered to teach them.”
Beginning in March 6, she took on a new role as a visiting teacher. In addition to teaching at her own school, Zhang had to create a schedule that would allow her time to visit the three rural schools, each of which is about 10 kilometers apart. “It was not easy to ride an electric bicycle on the country roads. It took a lot of time, but I persevered,” she said.
Zhang has held music classes with her students in the mountains, beside brooks and along rivers, and they could fully enjoy the beauty brought by music and nature.
In August 2018, Zhang established the Yangshan Choir (合唱团). Through her efforts, the choir has received millions of views online. Their performance has attracted attention. A short video of the students from the mountains has been seen on television programs and received opportunities to take part in many competitions.
At the beginning of 2021, Zhang was diagnosed with cancer. After fighting the disease for three months, she returned to work in March 2022. “Music is my teacher, and I want to use music to illuminate (照亮) the hearts of rural children and tell the beautiful stories of the countryside through education,” she said.

Wednesday/Week 2　　“语言腐蚀”并不是一件坏事
Ella was born in the Netherlands to a Dutch father and an Irish mother. She spent the first few years of her life in the Netherlands, speaking only Dutch. After her parents separated, her father moved to Spain, and her mother took Ella to Ireland. Today, Ella can speak English and Spanish—but not Dutch.
“It’s strange that I can’t speak Dutch in my mother tongue, it’s still in us.”
It might seem strange, but it’s certainly possible for people to get worse at speaking their native languages—and sometimes lose it completely. This phenomenon (现象) is known as “language attrition (耗损)”, and it’s often observed in migrants who spend many years away from their home country.
It might be easier to understand this in children, like Ella—research has found that children are also more vulnerable (易受影响的) to change.
However, language attrition is also found in adults—the minute you start to learn another language, the worse you might get at speaking your mother tongue.
Salvador is a 40-year-old man from Ecuador. Monika Schmid, a linguist at the University of Essex, said that, like Salvador, more adults losing their native language completely, often after fleeing (逃离) in the native language simply due to mixing languages becomes more passive (趋于…… 的), and the speaker different things. Schmid said fluency decreases as an input (输入) for example.
Importantly, migrants who spend time with others who speak both of their languages could be more prone to losing fluency in their native language—because they put less effort into keeping those languages separate in their minds, since both are understood.
Things like negative memories of their home country might even encourage someone to lose their connection to the language they used there.
But Laum Dominicus from the University of Southampton said that language attrition isn’t a bad thing—it’s a natural process, since people make changes to their language that are consistent (相符的) with their new realities.
1. How does the writer start the passage
A. By making a comparison.　B. By giving some examples.
C. By stating the topic directly.　　D. By telling a person's experience.
2. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to
① getting worse at speaking their mother tongue
② picking up new languages quickly
③ losing their native language skills forever
④ keeping their native language
A. ①②
B. ②③
C. ①③
D. ③④
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. A language talent hardly loses fluency in the native language.
B. Only young children can lose their native language completely.
C. Laum agrees it's strange that a person can't speak his mother tongue.
D. Negative memories can stop a person from losing his native language.
4. What's the passage mainly about
A. The phenomenon of language attrition.
B. The influence of the native language on people.
C. Ways to achieve fluency in a new language.
D. The process of learning a new language.
Thursday/Week 2　１５岁学生如何学习英语
文章内容
Today’s English students have a lot of exposure to the language outside of the classroom. By using the Internet, social media, and other digital technologies, they can watch videos, hear music, and play video games in English.
But teachers are not so sure that digital exposure results in better English-speaking abilities. That is the finding of a new study on how teenagers learn English.
The study is called “How 15-Year-Olds Learn English”. It provides case studies of teaching teenagers English from five countries: Finland, Greece, Israel, the Netherlands and Portugal.
The researchers collected information by visiting and observing English lessons in each country. They also interviewed teachers, students and school administrators.
Some students in Greece said it is easier to search for English-language information on the Internet because more of it is available. In the Netherlands, 15-year-olds described watching English videos online.
In a written reaction study, half of students in the Netherlands reported always using English when using digital tools. Teachers, however, are unsure whether digital tools are always teaching them English knowledge. While teachers said using English platforms might increase students’ motivation (动力) to learn and help them get used to the language, the platforms are not necessarily teaching them English.
A large part of the rise, the researchers said, is out-of-school exposure kids get to English. Kids from wealthy families are also more likely to travel to English-speaking countries or attend summer camps where they can speak English to international friends, for example. Kids living in cities are more likely to be being exposed to English culturally, compared to kids in more rural areas.
There has been a big change in how students are exposed to English outside of school. But within the classroom, things “hadn’t really changed”, the report noted how digital technologies are used within the classroom, but traditional teaching methods, like textbooks, are still used in every school observed.
