Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories. A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. At school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.1.Some people can easily learn many things by heart because _.A. they always sleep very wellB. they often eat good foodC. they read a lot of booksD. they have very good memories2.Everybody learns his mother language _.A. at the age of sixB. when he is a small childC. after he goes to schoolD. when he can read and write3.Before a child can speak, he must _.A. read and write B. make sentencesC. hear and remember the soundsD. think hard4.At school the pupil cant learn a foreign language well because _.A. they have no good memoriesB. they have too much time for itC. they have no recordersD. they are busy with other subjects5.Your memory will become better and better _.A. if you have lots of good foodB. if you do more and more exercisesC. if you get up early D. if you do morning exercises every day ( B )American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say each word separately. They say words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of (代替)“I dont know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.Sound is not only the difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary(词汇) for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks(卡车), but in England people drive lorries.Many expressions（短语） are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”Therere also some differences in grammar(语法). For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.6.What does the word “separately” mean in this passage?

How do you deal with(处理) your worries? There is always something you can do to help yourself feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it wont solve your problems.Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If you worry most about grades, ask yourself these questions?Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isnt a test?Do I have a good place to do my homework?Have I tried different ways of studying?If your worry is about a fight(打架) you had with your friend, you might write down all the things you could do write a note to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, say sorry to him or her and so on.

Here and there, now and then, everyone needs courage to do something well. Courage may make you confident(自信) of your success. If you have courage, you wont show fear in face of anything difficult or dangerous. With courage, you may still smile even if you are badly ill and know you are at the end of your life. How can we build up our courage?Believe that you will be successful. Take chances and know that you have your own talents(天资). Besides, your family and friends are always there for you.Exercise your courage. It is like a muscle(肌肉). The more we use it, the stronger our courage will be.Know that giving up is not a choice.
