Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum(论坛). I entered the forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadnt shown up1. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experience and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class.“Hey,”I wrote, “which one of you is the teacher?”The teacher made herself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions about the online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. “Humor will be important in my class,”she said.1.

Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.M: All right, everyone. Good work. Thats all for todays class. Does anyone have any questions?W: Excuse me, Professor. I have a question. Im worried about my English skills. I get good marks on tests, but I dont feel that Im learning a lot.M: Not exactly a question is it, Winnie? But its a good concern. Many advanced English learners have a large “passive vocabulary”, but they worry about their “active vocabulary”. They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they dont use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.W: Do you think that I use too few words?M: Thats not what Im saying at all. Actually, Im saying the opposite thing.W: Im afraid I dont understand.M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you dont use. So your active vocabulary in your native language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary. And I guess that you are not worried about that.W: No, Im not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How else am I going to remember them?M: Now thats a very good question.W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.M: Winnie, you dont need to worry about using“too few”English words. As your needs for different things grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think youd be surprised by how much you know.W: So your advice to me is “Dont worry.”? Now Im worried that Im paying too much for school.1. Who are likely to worry about their active vocabulary? D2. What is “active vocabulary”according to the professor? D3.

Dont let a little fear stop you from getting1 what you want.The best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. The more English material you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely you will begin thinking in English.Music can be a very effective tool to learning English. The best way is to use the lyrics(歌词) and try to read them as the artist sings. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.Watching English movies is not only fun but also very effective.

Chilling Out with the Folks will help you develop the patience and tolerance（容忍，宽容） necessary to bridge（弥合起来） any generational divide（分歧）. Honestly, it will change your life!

Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices. “Educator（教师，教育工作者）methods”, such as not buying toys for children who act up, do not always work. I personally think that even though parents teach their children many things, they should not act like teachers all the time. After my “Educator methods”failed, I spent some quality one-on-one time（用于全心照顾某人，尤指下班后与孩子一起度过的宝贵时光） with my daughter with NO lecturing about her behavior. For example, we went out for ice cream. While we sat and ate, we spent a long time watching other people and talking about the things around us. Then we went to a bookstore where she looked for a book to buy. It took her a long time, but I was patient. We finally bought her a book and finished our outing（户外散步，短途旅行） together. At the end, we decided to have similar outings once a month, because it really was fun. My main goal was to let her know that I love her.1.
