It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the task impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 1. Here are some tips to help.

2. We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate hearing memory, which helps the memory. 3. The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.

Never memorize single English words. 4. Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym（同義詞） or antonym（反義詞）. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", "huge" and "large". Make a order of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".

Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole".

Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. 5. Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.

A. So take action right now.

B. Speak the word while memorizing it.

C. Memorizing new words is very important.

D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.

E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.

F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.

G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

The English writer Samuel Johnson famously said, “You find no man who is willing to leave London. No, sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford.” More than two centuries have passed since Johnson’s age, but his words still ring true. Here, you’ll find the historic Tower of London and the Tate Modern both considered must-sees. Shakespeare’s sonnets（十四行詩） are still being uttered by actors. Londoners most certainly still look up to the royals, but they also rock out to Coldplay and Lily Allen. And while they still sip tea, they now drink Starbucks, too.

How to Save Money in London

Find the free attractions. Many of London’s top things to do, including the National Gallery, Hyde Park and the Portobello Road Market, are absolutely free to enjoy.

Ride the Tube. Taking taxis will add up quickly, so buy a pay-as-you-go Oyster Card and travel on London’s underground system, nicknamed the “Tube”.

Dine smart. Corridors like Brick Lane offer fantastic cultural food for bargain prices; fish and chip shops are a cheap standby and takeaway food costs less than dine-in.

London Culture & Customs

London is one of the fashion capitals of the world, and its residents tend to reflect that. Practically, pack an umbrella for the rainy days and a scarf for the cold ones. As for tipping, restaurants and cafes will usually add a 10-to-15-percent service charge to the bill. If a service charge is not allotted（指定）, it’s customary to tip the same (between 10 and 15 percent). If you’re drinking at a pub or wine bar, tipping is flexible. And in a taxicab, tip the driver to the nearest pound or about 10 percent of the cost.

London Dining

London used to be highly criticized for its heavy and common menu items. Now, London is considered as one of the most gourmet cities in the world. And with its melting pot of cultures, it’s not difficult to see why. London offers everything from modern British to Malaysian. For Indian food, we suggest visiting the curry houses on Brick Lane. If you want a real high tea experience, book reservations at the Ritz, at Fortnum & Mason, or at the Dorchester — but be sure to dress the part. Pub culture is still alive and well, so if you have a hankering for fried fish and salty chips (or French fries), you’ll still find them here. And for a quick bite, exchange a few pounds for a kebab, a quick sandwich or some to go sushi, which can be found in restaurants throughout the city.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Life in London is exciting but tiring.

B. Londoners are traditional and fashion conscious.

C. Many well-known writers like to live in London.

D. Coffee is more popular with Londoners than tea.

2. The underlined word “hankering” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “________”.

A. desire B. respect C. preparation D. talent

3.In which column of a newspaper can we find the passage?

A. Culture. B. Travel. C. Education. D. Entertainment.

My school stood in a big square playground in southeastern South Dakota. One teacher taught all grades, first through eighth. Most grades had only two or three students.

Our school day started with the flag pledge(宣誓). Then the teacher called one grade at a time to the recitation bench beside her desk. She’d check our work, explain the new lesson, and dismiss us to go back to our own desks and do our new work, all in less than ten minutes per grade.

At noon we ate lunches we had brought. Our lunches consisted of homemade sandwiches and if we were lucky, dessert. My favorite dessert was a fresh pear, and a piece of Mom’s delicious sour cream chocolate cake.

The annual Christmas program was the most exciting part of the year. We hurried through our lessons during December to allow time to practise poems, songs, and plays.

A few days before the performance, the school board members borrowed equipment from the town and set up a stage across one side of the classroom. We hung bed sheets for curtains.

On the evening of the performance, petrol lanterns hanging along the walls cast a warm, though not very bright, light over the gathering crowd. We could hardly contain our excitement as we looked from behind the curtains to wave at our parents.

On a spring Sunday in a new term, just before the last day of the school term, everyone in the neighborhood gathered for a picnic. Our moms set fried chicken, bowls of salads, and desserts on the teacher’s desk and the library table. After the dinner, we played games. One of the school board members brought big buckets of ice cream in the afternoon to top off the picnic. How we looked forward to that treat!

I was just nineteen years old when I started my first teaching position in a country school with thirteen students. I felt excited, nervous and happy as I prepared my lunch bucket the first morning of the term. I can’t remember what kind of sandwiches I packed, but I do remember I put in a fresh pear and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert!

1.According to the text, the school the author once attended ________.

A. had a small number of students

B. had no celebrations

C. had advanced teaching equipment

D. had a small playground

2.What can we infer from the description of the picnic?

A. The teacher performed many jobs.

B. The students liked hanging lanterns.

C. The local people supported the school.

D. School board members were not expected to attend it.

3.Why does the author mention a pear and a piece of chocolate cake in the last paragraph?

A. These were easy items to pack in a lunch bucket.

B. Fruits and cakes were always good choices for dessert.

C. They reminded her of her golden days as a student.

D. They were the only desert she ate with her lunch or dinner.

4.It can be concluded from the text that the author ________.

A. was fond of cooking

B. was very independent

C. earned little from her job

D. was happy though life was hard sometimes

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.

Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.

Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.

Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?

In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.

There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.

Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.

1.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________.

A. advertising abilityB. financial rewards

C. self-respectD. friendly relationship

2.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________.

A. lyingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising

3.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?

A. We’ll be very excited.

B. We’ll feel unfortunate.

C. We’ll have a sense of honor.

D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A. How to Live Truthfully

B. Importance of Peacefulness

C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect

D. Happiness through Honorable Actions

Why I’ve taken a break from holidays

It is now close to four years since I last took a holiday. This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it. You might think this sounds like saying you’re not very good at drinking tea or listening to music. What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere warm to do nothing?

I was a model holidaymaker as a kid. However, the problems started during my twenties. A trip to the south of France was ended after just two days, mainly because I had an urge to check my e-mails. Similarly, my honeymoon was cut short by 48 hours—not because my wife and I weren’t enjoying ourselves, but because we were missing our cats.

So what is my problem? On the surface, I’m probably a bit of a homebody. And I just find the pressure of being on holiday too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun. Somehow, packing a list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it.

Thankfully, I’m not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break. And a recent survey (調(diào)查) proved the downside of holidays, with the results showing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned to normal. And this year The Idler magazine published its Book of Awful Holidays. Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically-damaging vacations it’s possible to take, along with 50 painful holiday experiences voted for on The Idler website.

What interests me is what the concept of a “holiday” says about our lives. For me, the point of living is to have a life you enjoy for 52 weeks a year. The more I like my life and the better I structure it, the less I want to go away. Maybe I’m an unusual person for not liking holidays, but I just feel the time when I’m not working is too valuable to waste on them.

1.The events the author describes in the second paragraph show ________.

A. how hard he has tried to enjoy holidays

B. how badly he behaves when he is on holiday

C. his lack of enthusiasm for being on holiday

D. his fear of something bad when he is on holiday

2.What does the author think of holidays?

A. They are often well organized in order to please other people.

B. He feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn’t.

C. He tends to be made responsible for too much of the organization of them.

D. They are less enjoyable than breaks that have not been planned in advance.

3.The underlined word “downside” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.

A. absenceB. damageC. disadvantageD. conflict

4.What is the author’s attitude towards “taking a holiday”?

A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.C. Neutral.D. Unconcerned.

Four benefits of writing by hand

Today is National Handwriting Day! Although we don’t write like we used to, here are four ways handwriting is still helpful.

It’s better for learning.

1. That’s because putting ink to paper stimulates (刺激) the brain. One study from 2010 found that the brain areas related to learning “l(fā)it up” much more when kids were asked to write words like “spaceship” by hand versus just studying the word closely.

2.

Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer. Writer Susan Sontag once said that she penned her first drafts (草稿) before typing them up for editing later. She said, “ 3. ” A 2009 study seems to support Sontag’s preference for writing by hand: Elementary school students who wrote essays with a pen not only wrote more than their keyboard-tapping friends, but they also wrote faster and in more complete sentences.

It will prevent you from being distracted (分心).

The computer in front of you is really a distraction. 4. In 2012, scientists even suggested that taking five-minute breaks to browse Tumblr or BuzzFeed could make you a more productive worker. However, when it’s time to work on that essay, have only a pen and paper in front of you.

It keeps your brain sharp as you get older.

5. According to The Wall Street Journal, some physicians say that the act of writing is good exercise for those who want to keep their minds sharp as they age.

A. It makes you a better writer.

B. Writing is good for your brain.

C. Of course, the Internet isn’t all bad.

D. I like the slowness of writing by hand.

E. Try writing by hand at least 20 minutes each day.

F. Many writers have a preference for writing by hand.

G. One of the most effective ways to study is to rewrite your notes by hand.
