They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically(自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.21According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?（ ）AReading and listening. BReading and writing.CWriting and speaking. DSpeaking and listening.22The underlined phrase “come across” in the second paragraph can probably be replaced by “_”Adislike B. meet Chear Dlook for23To improve your reading, when you read you should _.Alook up all the new words in the dictionaryBthink about what you are reading activelyCspend more time studying grammarsDcopy as many words and sentences as possible .24The passage is mainly about how to_Achoose suitable listening materialsBdeal with new words in readingCimprove your English as quickly as possibleDbecome fluent in speaking and writing EnglishBItll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends, Susie.

I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.Its more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school. I joined the theater group and she was a director then. At first I thought she was intimidating（吓人的） but in the end I realized that she needed to keep a strict image（形象） in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously.

Soon we become good friends.I dont know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything. So its really hard to buy her a gift she will like.

Archaeological (考古学上的) finds show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cutsby using scissors（剪刀） or knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.In the past, paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach blossoms（桃花）, mice, fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.28. How long has paper cutting lasted at least?A. About 600 years.

Paper cuts are usually about _.A. family members of the artists B. sports and social activitiesC. fights between animals D. things in our daily lifeDNowadays, parents worry because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesnt happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.Children who become addicted （上瘾的）to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.Since they spend lots of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists（心理学家） which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children are more likely to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.What should be done? First of all, the government should control TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system（分级制度）and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor（监督） what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently. Its time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and its time to save our children from violence.32. What experts really worry is that _.A. TV violence has a bad influence on childrenB. children spend too much time watching TVC. children become addicted to TV programsD. children have less time to do their homework33.What does the underlined word imitate in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.
