Their lifestyle, friends, and social habits can have a strong influence on our lives. So it’s a good idea to get along well with neighbors and build a better relationship that will last for many years to come. But how should you get along with your neighbors?When you hear of a special need you can meet, do it, such as sitting with a sick child while your neighbor goes to work or taking an elderly parent to a doctor’s appointment when their car won’t start.If you hear that someone close by is ill, has an accident, or is out of work, give him or her a hot meal or a fresh dessert. Your kindness will add a special feeling during a difficult time. If your neighbor is cutting down a tree or building a doghouse, offer helping hands to him or her. There is no better way to build relationships. Besides, you never know when the favor might be returned.Exchange holiday cards, gifts or traditions. Invite your neighbors over for a cup of coffee or lunch. A backyard barbecue can be a great way to share food and fun. If they’ve watched your kids grow up or been concerned about your family events, they may want to share these special events.Plan a party. Invite all your neighbors to your party. Planning and carrying out the activity helps everyone to know and understand each other.Your neighbors are like your family in many ways since you have to live with them, or near them for a long time. Appreciate their strong points and ignore weak points, and everyone will get along well.1. The purpose of the first paragraph is to___________.A. introduce how you can get along well with your friendsB. explain the importance of getting along well with your neighborsC. show how to make friends with your new neighborsD. list the advantages of building strong family relationships2.

Tips on how to get along with your neighbors.4. This passage most probably belongs to__________.A. a physical science magazineB. the travel newsC. a magazine of social lifeD. the technology newsCWhy play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next move...acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to give people hope through soccer. He created a foundation (基金会) to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.1. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can________.A. describe life in an exciting wayB. turn real-life experiences into a playC. make learning life skills more interestingD. change people’s views of sporting events2. Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to _______.A. bring fun to poor kidsB. provide soccer balls for childrenC. give poor kids a chance for a better lifeD. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids3. What can be learned from the passage?A. Games benefit people all their lives.B. Sports can get all athletes together.C. People are advised to play games for fun.D. Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.DIt doesn’t matter if you have one friend or 20, because there are only a few people in this world that can make you truly happy. For me, my family and my three best girlfriends mean everything to me.Some days I didn’t want to go to school because I felt so disappointed in myself but I don’t regret a thing. It makes you stronger as a person, and if you are able to mend your friendships as I have done, then you can do anything.My mother always told me, “Stephanie, remember that a friend is a gift that you give yourself. A friend will make you laugh and be there for the good or bad. A true friend will never make fun of you. If a friend is a piece of work, then he or she has never been a friend at all. A friend is the biggest gift to yourself.”Everyone is going to make mistakes but please don’t push them away, especially if it’s someone you really care about.I know when I make a mistake I beat myself up about it. I just wish someone would reach out a hand to help me back on my feet as my best friends did. If someone is new or doesn’t have a friend, please reach out and behind him/her because that small action could mean the world to him/her. Now that I’m older, I understand what my mom has been trying to tell me, and now I know that the friends that I choose will also be the kinds of friends that I would want to be surrounded by forever.1. According to the passage, a true friend should be a person that _________.A. often gives you giftsB. makes you happyC. does both good or bad things to youD. seldom makes fun of you2. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer _________.A. understands what a friend means to herB. doesn’t think that friends will make her truly happyC. doesn’t have many friendsD. has nothing except her family and three friends3. If you hope to have a friend, you should do the following EXCEPT_________.A. giving advice and offering help if he or she makes mistakesB. regarding him or her as a piece of workC. considering him or her a valuable giftD. trying to treat a newcomer as a friend4. The last sentence probably means_________.A. people around me are all my friendsB. I only choose the people around me to be my friendsC. the friends I choose will surround me every dayD. my true friends would always be by my side for my joys and sorrowsEOf all American beliefs, equality(平等) has perhaps been the most important. This doesn’t mean that all Americans are equal economically —and indeed the differences between the rich and the poor are very great. In the economic sense, American equality means in practice equality of chances; everyone should have as good a chance as everyone else of achieving wealth by his own efforts; everyone is an independent person, free to make his own place in the world with few limits from the structure of his society. This idea of each person’s freedom and responsibility(责任) for himself is at the centre of the idea of the American way of life. By now this idea is only partly true. The son of a successful man is well placed in the economic competitive system for many obvious reasons. But the idea of equal chances is well known to all Americans ( or at least all white Americans ), and the doors to success are easy enough to find. If people believe in equality of chances, the existence of that belief tends to make chances more equal.1.For all Americans, equality means that ______________.A. Men an women are paid the same amount of money for the same jobB. regardless of one’s economic background, everyone should be equally paidC. the poor should have the chances to gain their wealth as well as the richD. everyone is free to choose a place to live in2. According to the passage, if one really wants to enjoy equality, he’d better ______.A. believe in equality of chances firstB. do whatever he likes and needn’t care what others would sayC. find a place where there are no social limitsD. move to another country where people can enjoy better equality3. In America a person from lower class will _________.A. accept his social status and not try to change itB. try to catch every chance to change his lifeC. have no chance to change his lifeD. have a better chance to be successful4. Which is the most important in the American way of life?A. Being born of a rich family.B. Practising equality of chances.C. Understanding the social limits well.D. Knowing one’s freedom and responsibility.FWhen I saw a big handmade signboard “Welcome Yuxin”at the airport, I knew I had found a caring family at the other side of the world —the United States.My host mom had already decorated my room for me.There was a doll on one side of the room, and a bookcase full of books on the other-they had heard I loved reading.Mom had also prepared a keyboard for me, since she knew that I played the piano.My life in the family did not go so well at first.Because I am the only child in my family in China, I was not used to having two younger kids-Zachary and Grace-running around me yelling all the time.Mom had a serious talk with me about this problem on a Sunday afternoon.She told me:“You can’t just come home from school every day, go to your room and do your homework.You need to be a part of this family.You need to play with my kids for at least an hour.”This rule was very annoying at first.I did not have much experience playing with children.However, the more time I spent with the kids, the more I grew to love them.We played games and read books together.I even taught them Chinese.Thanks to Mom’s rule, I began to feel like I was really part of the family.Mom also inspired me to live a healthier life.She got up early every morning to go running.On weekends, she took the whole family to visit parks or go camping.I did not like sports much when I was back home, but now I love to join all kinds of sports.I am healthier and more confident too.With my American family, I found joy and laughter.I learned to live with energy and optimism thanks to the care and responsibility of my loving American parents.1.The passage is mainly about ___________.A. the cultural differences Y uxin experienced in AmericaB. how Yuxin learned to get along with younger kids in AmericaC. how much Yuxin’s caring host family in America changed herD. various difficulties Yuxin met in America2.

Have you noticed that native speakers rarely use the formal English you learned in school? Why not? Because you learned formal English in school, but most native speakers use casual (非正式的) conversational English when they speak to each other.Most English conversation programs don’t teach English conversation. The “conversations” in most books are fake —they are not real. Rather, these “ conversations” are merely two actors reading a text. That’s why textbook conversations are very different from real English conversations.To understand native speakers, you must listen to real conversations —not fake textbook actors. To speak easily to native speakers, you must use real conversations and lessons that help you understand them.So how do you understand real conversations? The secret is to use both real recorded conversations and the Effortless English system.We have created new lessons to help you do this —the program is called Learn Real English. Together, Kristin Dodds, Joe Weiss, and I have created a new set of lessons using Real English Conversations.This is exciting! These are great English lessons, and are perfect for learners who want to speak exactly like a native speaker.1. Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Foreign English teachers.B. Foreign English learners.C. New English learners.D. New English teachers.2. According to the passage, textbook conversations are not effective because _________.A. they just act out real conversationsB. they just use formal EnglishC. they are not based on real lifeD. they take place between actors3. From the passage, we can know that real English is _________.A. English used by teachers in real conversationsB. formal English students learn in schoolC. English used by native speakers in everyday lifeD. formal English used by native speakers4. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To advertise a learning program.B. To advertise an English textbook.C. To recommend some ways of speaking English.D. To recommend some ways of improving English.HGetting older is a natural part of life. Changes as you get older are usually gradual. Certain physical changes are common. How fast your body can burn calories slows over time, which means that your body needs less food energy than before. How much and how well you sleep will likely change. Most people start needing reading glasses around age 40, and many have some hearing loss later in life. Starting in your 50s, bone aging increases.How you will feel as you get older depends on many things, including what health problems run in your family and the choices you make.If your family members have diseases or chronic (慢性的) health problems like high blood pressure, then you may have a greater chance of having those problems yourself. But it doesn’t mean you will definitely have the same problems. In fact, the lifestyle choices you make can help reduce your chances of getting illnesses that run in your family. And even if you do get a family illness, choosing to be physical active, to eat healthy foods, and to learn how to deal with stress can keep the illness from destroying your ability to enjoy your golden years.What do you need to do to feel your best as you age? One of the most important things you can do for your health at any age is to be physically active. Physical activity keeps your body strong, and it helps with how you feel. People who stay active are less likely to get depressed.Your mental and emotional health is also important. Protect or improve your emotional health by staying in touch withfriends, family, and the community. People who feel connected to others are more likely to feel happy than those who do not.1.
