them?Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends.But remember,theres always room for more friends.Start by looking around your classroomthink about which kids youd like to play with at break.Look for chances to say hi to them,smile,and be friendly.Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them.Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom.When youre at break,walk over to kids you want to play with,act friendly,and say “Hi,can I play,too?” or just join in.If you have trouble doing this or if youre feeling shy,ask your teacher to help you make new friends.Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends.The best way to make friends is to be a friend.Be kind,be friendly,share,say nice things,offer to helpand

most effective way is to learn lessons by heart.If you can recite the text and write it out, youve learned it fairly well.And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says youre a very successful learner indeed.Your English will be quite perfect.This is a difficult task.However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, youll find it not half so hard as you might have thought.Learning this way, you will make rapid progress.Of course, writing is also necessary.It helps you a lot on your way to success in English.Equally important is to feel the language.You should

new teachers in high school,but Lori Runkle,my English Language and Composition teacher,is my favorite teacher.Ms.Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students,so I have many chances to talk with

me.Although she is my teacher,Ms.Runkle and I are more like friends.She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outside of school.For example,I went to listen to a journalists speech,which helped me better understand current events (时事).Not only does Ms.Runkle talk with me outside of school,she is also a great teacher in the classroom.English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner.We felt worried in the beginning,but Ms.Runkle really makes an effort to help us out.In class,Ms.Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active.One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the world.It requires a lot of deep

think that English dictionaries have been used for many,many centuries.The spelling of English has always been a problem.16Then people could spell words in different ways which you might find interesting.But it made reading English much more difficult.So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same.In fact,an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasnt made until the time of the late Qing dynasty.17 They are Samuel Johnson,Noah Webster,and James Murray.These men spent nearly all of their lives trying to collect words for their dictionaries.For them,it was not only a job,but it was a wonderful journey of discovery.The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary,or OED for short.18At the age of fourteen,he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank.Later he became a great teacher.After Oxford gave him the job,Murray had a small house built in the garden behind his house to do his work.Part of it was one meter underground. 19 He had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning,Murray got out of bed at five oclock and worked several hours before breakfast.20 Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years.But after five years,he was still adding words for the letter A! Forty four years later,in 1928,other editors finished the dictionary.A.In winter it felt like a barn(粮仓、牲畜棚).B.Murray had never been to college.C.He worked on the dictionary until he was very old.D.Often he would work by candle light into the evening.E.But it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary.F.Three men did most of the important early work on dictionaries.G.The idea of this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857.二完形填空（30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。There was a woman in Detroit,who has two sons.She was worried21 them,especially the younger one,Ben,22he was not doing well in school.Boys in his class23fun of him because he seemed so 24.The mother25 that she would,herself,have to get her sons to do better in school.She26them to go to the Detroit Public Library to read a27a week and do a report about it for her.One day,in Bens28,the teacher held up a rock and asked if anyone knew it.Ben 29 up his hand and the teacher let him30.“Why did Ben raise his hand?” they wondered.
