篇

It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on

each other. The tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s

shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surpri test that scares

students before they reali it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an

elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).

Forget gifts, songs and special foods-tho are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s

Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cau a little bit of trouble).

One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very

clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and t them free in our

school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our

feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.

Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them.

But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered

that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?

The teachers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they

realid that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the

first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.

It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my

favourite memories from tho years.

The biggest soccer organization in the U.S. introduces new rules to make the sport safer.

The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that players in its teams who are 10 or younger are no

longer allowed to head the ball. Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can

practice heading.

The new rules are t to stop kids from getting hurt becau of a blow to the head that shakes

the brain. Players may get headaches by heading the ball. Even wor, they may also get

concussions, which will cau lasting brain damage.

Heading the ball can be one of the most dangerous parts of soccer. Sometimes the force of hitting

the ball with their heads gives players concussions. But more often, players receive concussions

when they jump to head the ball and by accident knock heads with other players or fall and hit

their heads on the grass.

“More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer,” says Dr.

Robert Cantu, an expert on brain damage.

So far, the new rules are only ud by teams that are part of the U.S. Soccer Federation. But the

group says it hopes more soccer teams will soon follow its example.

Former U.S. soccer star Brandi Chastain is one of the leaders of the activity to ban heading among

young soccer players. She welcomes the rule change but wants the rule to include all players

under 14.

1The new rules are made to________

．．

Akeep young players from being hurt

Language as a System of Symbols()

符号

Of all systems of symbols, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that

human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed,

in the cour of centuries of mutual dependency, to let the various nois that they can produce

with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in

their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.

There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social

positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a

thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be

symbolized by a thousand different nois according to the culture we live in.

However obvious the facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they

em except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they

stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes

acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that

foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and

why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itlf most strongly in tho

English and American tourists who em to believe that they can make the natives of any country

understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said,

“Pigs are called pigs becau they are such dirty animals, ” they feel that the symbol is inherently

connected in some way with the things symbolized.

1Language is a highly developed system of symbols becau human beings _______.

．

Ahave made u of language for centuries

．

Bu our nervous systems to support language

．

Chave made various nois stand for any events

Betty Azar is a world famous expert on teaching English grammar. Here are some of her opinions.

Why do students need to learn grammar?

When teachers are deciding which grammar points to teach,they should first ask two questions.

First,will understanding the point help students be understood—will it help them understand

better?Next, will learning the grammar point help students be acceptable as English speakers?

People usually think that grammar is all about memorizing rules. In fact,grammar is not just

learning rules. It is a way to help students along the way to communication.

Teachers should know that students do not all learn in the same way. Each may have a different

learning style when it comes to learning grammar. Some may e a pattern and understand the

rule. Others need explanations and more practice. “But to teach grammar as a subject matter and

test it as though you were testing the memorization of dates in history is sure to bore everybody

and not reach the goals that you are trying to reach—successful communication experiences.”

Why do some teachers hate teaching grammar?

Many teachers are not comfortable teaching grammar becau they do not know how to answer

their students' questions. “Most native speakers of English didn't learn it in school," she says. "If

you don't know any grammar of your own language and then you are asked to teach it,it's

possible that your students may know more grammar than you and you can’t answer their

questions."

Can teaching grammar really be fun?

Teachers should learn to make the teaching of grammar fun. She says,"My students enjoy

learning grammar as much as I enjoy teaching it. I think grammar is fascinating. It is the glue that

holds language together. It is really beautiful when you get to know it. Grammar is quite a

remarkable() thing."

group activities in class? If so, try to join a new group every time.

● Playground: Most schools offer many team sports. Try to join the sports.

Some kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school. Even if the teachers are

supportive, it can take some time to adjust to new rules or ways of teaching. Try talking to them

about your problem. Besides, with a familiar face in the front of your classroom you may feel

more comfortable during the first few weeks of school.

one may be at a loss to choo the appropriate books, especially as a beginner. As a native

Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.

My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English

teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat

disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the

vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs ntences, and her way of

thinking, which emed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much

recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated

ntences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward () style. So my first

简洁的

suggestion is, as a beginner, you'd better choo contemporary novels instead of classical ones.

However, if you restrict yourlf to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at

once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand

Rusll's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the peculiar

n of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people.

Here comes my cond suggestion — essays are indispensable.

Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (

有很

大影响的

) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and

determine for ourlves. As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in

mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in

English.

1What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand?

．

AComplicated conversations.

．

BSentences and Austen's thinking pattern.

．

CThe old-fashioned vocabulary.

．

DNot knowing the social background.

．

2Which can best replace the underlined word "indispensable"?

．

ANecessary BChallenging CRelevant DInspirational

3What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?

AChoo books that challenge us most.

If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both

before and after your journey.

First of all, always check and doublecheck departure () time. It is amazing how few people

－启程

really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten, my cretary had got

the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 1050. When I arrived at the

：

airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was clod. Therefore, I had to wait

three hours for the next one and misd an important meeting.

The cond rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have

some local cash with you when you arrive in a country. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and

the bank at the airport was clod. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and becau I had

no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money” the driver said

！

angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was

embarrassing.

The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination

before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in

May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid,

where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

1According to the passage, the driver was angry becau the writer ________.

Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another

person, we should face it. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate successfully? Yes,

there is. Plea follow the basic steps below.

Relax and breathe.

Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to

communicate is to relax.

When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions() and your reactions do not

反应

control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin

confident.

Follow the flow of the conversation.

If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it wor and make the other person

uncomfortable as well. So when all el fails, you should follow through with small talk until a

common topic appears.

A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk

about themlves and if you do this, they will keep the conversation going, thinking very highly of

you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you make an effort, you

will succeed.
