In recent years many flowers shops have been appeared in our small town. It is
common for people to buy flowers when they go to a gathering, visiting a sick friend,
or attend a wedding or birthday party. I still remember clear one day last year when
Tom, a disabled student, presented some flowers to his mother to express his gratitude for
her. He owing his entire life to his mother’s kind and care. With her he would not
have had the confidence or the courage to fight his disability. As a result the great
effort he has made, he was finally admitted to a key university.

It is reported that the United States uses ______ energy as the whole of Europe.

Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family.
Before getting into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehension level so you don’t pick a book which is so challenging that it’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring.
If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story. If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as they’ll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners （Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer） are good options.
The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action and story development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.
Another great way to keep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.
Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!

Dear Zhou Lu,
I’m writing a letter ask you for some help.
As you know, Zhang Fei and I used to be good friend. However, on one day, Zhang Fei read my private letter in secret and tell others what was written in it. Knowing this, I was extreme angry.

I am much angry with her improper behaviour, but I can’t forget the wonderful time that I stayed with her. I wonder whether I should forgive her. And I’m afraid if I offer to make friends with her, she will refuse me. How should I do?
Your friend,
Li Hua

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. Making yourself knowledgeable first. B. Adapting yourself to the foreign country. C. Making the lessons fun and interesting. D. Catching the attention of the beginners. E. That teaching English to beginners is challenging. F. Making sure of the requirements of teaching abroad.

 
小题1:______Teaching English to adult learners is a challenging thing. But learning how to teach English to be-ginners could be much more challenging especially if you’re teaching abroad. There are special considerations that you’ll have to keep in mind, and a little more patience to spare.
小题2:_______When you teach any foreign language to young learners, it means that you are not only going to have to teach the subject as you would in a typical classroom. Because of the age of the learners, you will have to constantly keep them interested. Children have short attention span, so you have to give extra effort to keep their attention to the subject.
小题3:________As much as it is important to teach the language to your learners, it is also important that you know they are willing to learn and that they enjoy your classes. If you make your classes fun and full of activities and other games that promote learning and communication, the actual teaching part will be a piece of cake. Your students will always look forward to the next lesson, and they’ll look at learning English as a fun experience.
小题4:________If you teach English abroad, the number of things to consider is increased. For one thing, you will have to use the teaching methods that are accepted by a foreign audience. You will have to learn the culture of the country. Naturally, you will also have to adjust to the life of living abroad.
小题5:________Of course, if you would like to teach English abroad, there might be additional tests and certificates that will be required of you. You may be required to take TOEFL and take up ESL. To be sure of all the requirements, make sure that you discuss all of these during the application process early on.
