I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. Im afraid youll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. Its the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesnt matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. Hes afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Dont be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when theres nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. Its interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes youll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books were interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Dont be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, lets do more practice from now on. Im sure youll learn English well in this way.( ) 31.

As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didnt try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, its enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck(固定) right where they were, they believed they couldnt.Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before? . We should never give up the struggle(斗争) in life.41.What did the writer see in the village？A. ChainsB. Elephants.C.Cages.D.Farmers.42. Why do the elephants never try to break free from the ropes?A.

Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale.There are labels(标签)inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”. Washing may ruin(损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions(说明) say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best.Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check(核实) to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.

It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain（大脑）to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it .Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories. An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful. Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information . And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well. In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well-not just for improving your memory.TitleHow to61 Your MemoryMain62 *taking special_63 _of your health*making yourself excited to make your memory more active by taking 64 in some new activiti
