She is introducing her experience of learning English. We all know English is important, but some students are not interested in it. They think it is very hard and boring to learn English. That is because they are not learning the right way. I think reading is very important and necessary for us students. The more you read, the better you will understand. Reading is helpful not only in listening, but also in speaking and writing.Reading English aloud can improve your listening. You can have wonderful pronunciation and intonation. On the other hand, listening a lot can help you read better. Youll have a sense of language. Reading English loudly can also help you speak clearly and fluently. You can read English anywhere when you are free, if you wish. You can get a lot of knowledge when you read. Sometimes when you need to express your ideas, you either speak or write. That means you are using what you learned from reading. This same as Chinese: the more you read, the better you can write. If you want to remember something, you can read it again and again. So from now on, you should read more. Its a good way to learn English well.根据短文内容判断正误( )1. Some students think it is boring and difficult because they dont practice the right ways of learning.( )2.

His father gave him a bag of nails(钉子) and told him that every time he lost his temper(脾气), he must hammer (用锤敲打)a nail into the back of the fence(栅栏). The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control （控制）his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually(逐渐地) dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the hard fence. Finally the day came when the boy didnt lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes （孔）in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar （伤疤） just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It wont matter how many times you say Im sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical(身体的) one.” As William Arthur Ward once said, “It is wise to direct your anger towards problems-not people; to focus your energies on answers-not excuses.” 56.When the boy lost his temper, he must _ as his father told him.A.break some plates and glassesB.pull out one nail of the back of the fenceC.hammer a nail into the back of the fenceD.direct your anger towards problems57.Underlined expression dwindled down means _.A.become gradually smallerB.become gradually largerC.stay the same as beforeD.get more and more 58.When the boy finally told his father that all the nails were gone, his father _.A.took him to the fence and look at the holesB.asked him to pull out one nail of the back of the fenceC.asked him to focus your energies on excusesD.told that the fence was the same as before59.Which of the following about the boy is WRONG?A.The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.B.The boy once had a bad temper.

A Country on the TrainAn invention in front of your eyes What is the most important invention of all time? Is it the written word that helps us to record information? Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be right in front of your eyes. He is talking about a simple pair of glasses. Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000 years ago. They were more than just a convenient way to read. Before glasses, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight, they could not remember well enough and could not work. Glasses meant that people could work into their old age. People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it. Eye glasses are one of the worlds greatest inventions-and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephones and cars. （ ）1. The invention of the written word is important because _.
