You can use it to do research for school, find out what movie is on near you, check out a college youre thinking about, or find a job or volunteer opportunity. Almost anything you can think of has a website about it.Youve probably heard stories about people who get into trouble in chat rooms. Because users can easily keep anonymous, you may be cheated in the chat room. Everyone in the chat room looks like wearing a mask. Chat rooms often attract people who areinterested in more than just chatting. They will sometimes ask visitors for information about themselves. The information might be about their families, or where the live. It shouldnt be given away.Usually, the people who request personal information like home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses use the information to do some illegal things, This might harm a persons or familys well-being.Of course, the Internet is home to millions of places you can and should visit.

Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you dont understand the culture behind it. For example, if an American boy asks his mother whats for dinner tomorrow, she may say Ill play it by ear, that means she doesnt have plans for dinner and she will decide later. Play by ear used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when theyre not talking about music. Therere many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, Give me a hand, you dont necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? Its not about the color of your hand! Youre a green hand when you are very new at your work and dont have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well. Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?8. An idiom is _.A. a phrase or a sentence that doesnt mean exactly what every word says B. a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words sayC. so difficult that nobody can understandD. something to do with parts of your body9.

It allows the visitors to rent a room from a local family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitors language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you wont be disappointed.”After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.12.

Study anywhere - or everywhere.16 When a teacher assigns a lot of homework, Domenica Roman draws up a timetable, dividing the assignment into small parts. Its like eating a steak(牛排), she says. You chew it one bite at a time.17 One student put a vocabulary list in the bathroom. He learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth. Another student used the time to remember biology terms while practicing running.18 In high school, McCray ran track, played football and was in the band and orchestra. I was so busy that I couldnt waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it, he says.19 In an international class, Asian-Americans, on average, scored higher than other students. The teacher found that the Asian-Americans discussed homework problems together, tried different ways to work out the problems and explained their solutions to one another. 20 Christi is an excellent student at the University of California. If her math teacher assigns five problems, she does ten. If the history teacher assigns eight pages of reading, she reads twelve. Part of learning is practicing, she says. And the more you practice, the more you learn.第二部分：完形填空（总共50分）第一节：阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）The most positive person I have ever seen is my dad!
