I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can't learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I'm good at it. I'm very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest (愛好) in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject - English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary (詞匯). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking . Whenever (不論何時(shí)) I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

If you won a lottery and had lots of money, what would you do? Most people start by buying themselves things, such as a new car or a bigger TV.

Many people who win lots of money may suddenly find that they have a lot of socalled(所謂的)friends. The new friends they make may follow them for their money but they may also leave them when all the money is spent. Besides that, they can’t decide what to do with the money, so they try to think what they want. In the end, most people usually decide to save the money.

There are some lottery winners who decide to quit(辭職)their jobs, because they think they have enough money and don’t need to work any longer. Some big lottery winners make even bigger changes—they end their marriages. They think that winning a lot of money has suddenly made them more intelligent and more attractive(有吸引力的).So they feel that they have to be with a younger or more attractive man or woman.

They don’t know their new money is just a bit of luck. It can’t change everything.

In Britain you are allowed to drive a car when you are seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you are learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren't allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don't have to go to a driving school--a friend can teach you. The person with you isn't allowed to take the money for the lesson unless he's got a teacher's license.

Before you are allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don't pass the test, you are allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons. When you've passed your test, you don't have to take it again, and you are allowed to go on driving as long as you like, if you are healthy. Britain's oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.

Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn't have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

1.Which is NOT necessary for a young man who wants to drive a car alone?

A. He should reach the age of 17.

Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in

1942. He’s a world well-known on space and time. Stephen is researching some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?

Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the

age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.” As a matter of fact, the doctors were wrong---- he didn’t die. He can’t walk now but he uses a wheelchair(輪椅). He can’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy(哲學(xué)).

Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams(圖表)

or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1991, he met the Pope(教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1998, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.

任務(wù)型閱讀

Now you’ve finished three years of English study. There’s one way to demonstrate(展示)

what you’ve learned－take a test!

Do you have any special methods you use to help you do better on a test? How well you do

is often a matter of how well prepared you are. Here are some ways to make sure you’re at your

best on test days.

Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You want to

be rested and wide-awake for test day.

Have a good breakfast. Test day isn’t a morning for donuts(面包圈). Nor is it a time to

starve(挨餓) yourself. Eat plenty of low-sugar, high-energy food to keep your brain and body

working their best.

Be prepared. Make sure you have two pencils and anything else you were asked to bring.

Watch the numbers. Make sure that the number of the items(項(xiàng)目) on your answer sheet

matches the number of the question.

Look over all the answer choices. Don’t assume(假定) that choice A is correct until you’

ve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate(排除) any choice

that you can see at once. You’ll have a better chance of finding the right answer.

Check the clock. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to answer every question and

go back and check your answers. Don’t spend too much time on any difficult question. Skip（跳

讀） it and come back to it later.

Keep up with your schoolwork all year long. That’s how you get the skills you need for

taking a test.

1.Is taking a test a way to demonstrate what you’ve learned?

2.How many ways are mentioned in this passage?

3.What should you take to prepare for a test?

4.What do you do if you meet any difficult question?

5.What’s the passage mainly about?

書面表達(dá)
