Learning a language is,in some way,like learning how to fly,to play the piano or to drive a car. There are some important 1      ，but there is one very important similarity. It is this： learning how to do such things 2       lots of practice. It is never enough only 3       something. It is more important 4       you to do things with what you know. For example,it is not simply enough to read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you lots of information 5       how to fly,but if you only read the book and then try to fly 6       a lot of practice first,it’ll be very dangerous. You’ll crash(吃毀）and get killed. The same is true of 7       the piano and driving a car.

   You may think it is simply enough to know some grammar or the meanings of words. But no one can learn a language 8      that way. It is necessary for you to listen to English and to practise speaking it a lot before you can 9       you are good at it. In order to learn English well,you’ll just have to 10       practicing and practicing. Always remember ： Practice makes perfect(熟能生巧）.

 “ Find a job you love，and you’ll never work a day in your life. ”Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at Work and other books about careers (職業(yè)). Gordon believes that abut 30% of employees(雇員）in North America do not like their jobs,and she thinks that is terrible. She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied (滿意的)with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, “ There are no happy jobs,only happy workers. ” She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics (特點(diǎn)).

  First,happy workers enjoy the daily activities of   their jobs,and they look forward to the workday. Take I Tony Hawk for example. At age 14，he became a  professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman   working oi  projects related to skateboarding—films and video games,but he still skates every day. He once said，“ My younger son’s pre-school class was recently   asked what their dads do for work. My son said, ‘ I’ve  never seen my dad do work. ” Tony agrees that his job   doesn’t look like work. He has found a way to spend ( each day doing a job he enjoys.   

  Second,happy workers like the people they work 冬 with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people  in the world. ” She and her group cook for almost 1,200  people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists ( who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with T them. She says, “There is no television here,no radio,   

so I get to know the scientists and what they’re  studying. ” Sally thinks she has a great job,and the best  part of it is the people.  

Third,happy workers know that their work helps  others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had  to leave their home countries because of war or other | dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization  called Film Aid,which shows movies in refugee (難民）十 camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies I can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing,    

entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a  little while. Movies can also teach important subject like   health and safety. For example,in one camp,thousands f of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that she is helping other people,and this j work makes her feel proud and happy about her work.  Tony Hawk,Sally Ayote,and Caroline Baron all  get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says,I “ Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you  love,there is much more happiness there than being rich  or famous. ” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing,find people  they like to work with,and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do,and they will  probably be happy at work.

  Are you afraid of tests? What will you do to prepare for a test? The following suggestions will be helpful.

Pay attention to what your teacher gives about a coming test. Write down exactly what you will be tested on. Knowing what the test will cover is half done.

  Make a review list that includes important points from class and reading material. Then your studying notes will be in one place. What’s more,rewriting the material will help you to remember it.

  Don’t cram(突擊式學(xué)習(xí)）! Test preparation begins  the first day of class,so keep on doing your reading and homework. Then you just need to review for the test— not leam all the materials. Waiting until the night before to try to leam everything will only put more stress (壓力）on you.

  Get a good night’s sleep before the test,but if you can’t,don’t pull an all nighter. Research shows that getting at least four of sleep produces the better test results.

  Eat a healthy breakfast to keep your mind sharp (敏銳的）. Avoid sugar，as it will weaken your ability to concentrate (全神貫注）.
