The following are taken from the book of Cambridge Real English Skills. They are very helpful in learning English.

Learning tip 1: When you read, it is not necessary to understand every word in the text. You only need to understand the parts of the text which contain (包含) the information you are looking for.

Learning tip 2: Scanning is when we read a text quickly to find a particular piece of information. We do not read every word. We stop reading when we find the information we want.

Learning tip 3: Make yourself ready for reading a text by thinking about the topic in your own language. This will help you to predict (预测) the content of the English text and working out the meaning of any unknown words.

Learning tip 4: Skimming is when we read a text quickly to find out what it is about or to get a general idea. We do not read every word. We get the main idea and we don’t pay attention to details.

Learning tip 5: When we read a text, we want to understand the writer’s message. To do this, we read silently. In real life, we sometimes read aloud—for example, we might read out something from a newspaper to a friend. Reading aloud does not help you to understand the message, but it helps you to practise the language.

Learning tip 6: As you read, try to work out the meaning of unknown words. Find other words in the text which might help you with the meaning of the word you do not know. Perhaps some other words in the text have the same meaning—or the opposite meaning. Only use a dictionary to check your guesses.

Learning tip 7: Your knowledge of grammar will not help you with the meaning of unknown words. But it will help you to decide whether words are nouns, verbs, etc. This will help you to link words in sentences and to read words in groups.

Learning tip 8: You can use either a dictionary with English and your language or a dictionary which has definitions in English. The main advantage of using a dictionary which has definitions in English is that you are working in English all the time. These dictionaries also explain the different meanings that one word can have, and they give lots of examples of how words are used.

Are You Smart?

    All parents say their children are smart. Why do some of these intelligent children do better in school, while others fall behind?

In 1983, Dr. Howard Gardner introduced “theory of multiple intelligences” （多元智能理论） to help explain this. His theory says there are eight different kinds of intelligence. All of these intelligences are good to the society.  But only two of them help students do well in school.

1.______________

    These people are good at languages.  They have a large vocabulary in their native language.  They may also pick up foreign languages more easily than others. They enjoy telling jokes and writing stories.  They make good lawyers, writers and librarians.

2. ______________

People who are smart in this way do better in math and science.  They can also use logic （逻辑） to solve problems such as scientific studies. They like to learn how something works. These first two intelligences help students succeed in school.

3. ______________

These people are good at picturing things in mind. As children, these people liked to draw or play with blocks.  As students, they learn better if they’re taught through images, not words.  When they grow up, they make good artists and engineers.

4. ______________

Children who can’t sit still may fall into this kind of “ smart”. The children enjoy physical activities like sports. They learn fast when they’re shown how something is done rather than just told. These people make good sportsmen and actors.

5. ______________

These people enjoy making music.  People with this intelligence have a good sense of sound. They understand the relationship between music and feeling. People with jobs related to music may have this intelligence.

6. ______________

Children of this kind love to spend time outside in nature.  These children are good at recognizing different things of nature, such as plants or birds.  When they grow up, they make good farmers and gardeners.

7. ______________

Those who are smart in this way make friends easily and keep the friendship well. They are able to understand the feelings of others.  They work well in groups and become natural leaders. As grown-ups, they make good salespeople and managers.

8. ______________

These people know clearly about their own feelings and ideas.  They are self-confident and have strong opinions on different kinds of things. They often like to work by themselves.

Gardner’s theory has changed the way people think about intelligence. People can be smart in the ways beyond just "book smart. " Perhaps all those parents are right--everyone is smart, just in different ways. What kind of "smart" are you?

A. I can tell the kinds of flowers easily.

B. I can remember the beat of a song after I hear it.

C. I like to read a lot.

D. I prefer to do things by myself.

E. I’d rather play in a sport than watch it.

F. I am good at organizing things in mind.

G. I remember things best by seeing them.

H. I’d rather do something in a group than alone.

Pieter Bruegel was a famous artist who lived in Europe five hundred years ago. He is well known for a painting called Children’s Games. People like this painting because it is full of fun. It shows how children in Pieter’s time enjoyed themselves in different ways. In all, there are about eighty games being played in the painting.

Children’s Games shows a busy street scene in a town long ago. The street is a wide and open space. There are no cars, so there is plenty of room to play. There are about two hundred children in the painting. Some play in groups and others play alone. They seem to be enjoying their freedom in the fresh air and their games. Some of the games are still played today.

The games in the painting do not require children to spend money on extra materials(材料). Instead, they use simple everyday objects like hats and sticks. A game might need a rope, some chalk, a hoop, a spinning top, or even a barrel. Some games are played without any toys at all. For example, one scene in the painting shows children turning somersaults(翻筋斗) inside the fence.

Even though Pieter Bruegel lived a long time ago, children today can learn an important lesson from what he painted. The painting shows us how little we need in order to enjoy ourselves. All children really need is one another. It’s not the toys or games that are found in the stores that create fun. Using our imagination can do this for us.

B．200

2.The children in the painting are playing ______.

A．in the street

B．in the house

C．on the grass

3.From the painting we learn that ______.

A．children today need to take more lessons

B．children can create fun by using imagination

C．children need more toys to enjoy themselves

D．children spend much money on everyday objects

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. So, I really doubted whether there was any love between my parents. Every day they were working hard to pay for my high school. They didn’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books and saw on TV, and they certainly didn’t send flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day (情人节).

    One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was any love between her and my dad. She stopped and raised her head in surprise. Then she went on with her work without saying anything. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her feelings. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love is the thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or at any time, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her until the next spring.

    My mother suddenly got seriously ill and had to stay in hospital for about a month. Every morning and evening after she returned from the hospital, my father helped her walk slowly along our country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone through the leaves. All of this made the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they love each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love is just a thread in the quilt of our lives. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
