It was a sunny day when my dad and I were arriving at his company. We parked the car and got out of it. I looked around and saw a grey thing on the ground. I thought it was, a garbage bag, but it started to move. As we approached we realized that it was a small wounded (受伤的) dog.
We were so moved by the scene that we decided to help the poor dog. We bought some dog food in the store across the street and got some pure water for the dog, in order to help him regain strength.
He was so hungry that while we were giving him the food and water he almost buried his head in them. After he had eaten we encouraged him to move; however, he could not. My dad tried to take him in his arms, but he started barking due to a wounded bleeding paw (爪子). In the end, we decided to carry him on a small stretcher (担架) to our car.
Rapidly, we took him to the vet (兽医) for him to heal his wound. The vet told us that he had a broken leg and that he had been starving for days. He got out of the vet’s office after 5 days of recovery, and we decided to look for a family for him. He was finally adopted by one of my dad’s workers and is living happily.
In conclusion, I learned from this that everybody can do an act of kindness. Everyone deserves a second chance to be happy.

The Arctic will soon be free from ice, experts say. The change is bound (必定的) to take place, but the global warming and climate change are changing the earth’ s landscape (地形) rapidly, causing panic worldwide.
Experts say that the Arctic sea ice is melting (融化) quite faster than expected and it can affect not just the region, but Earth in general. A scientist even says that next year, or maybe the year after that, the Arctic will be free of ice.
Peter Wadhams, a scientist, said that the melting trend led to his statement. “Most people expect this year will see a record low in the Arctic’s summer sea-ice cover. Next year or the year after that, I think it will be free of ice in summer and by that I mean the central Arctic will be ice-free,” Peter Wadhams, director of the Scott Polar Institute in Cambridge, said in an interview with the Guardian. “You will be able to cross over the North Pole by ship,” Peter Wadhams added. He strongly believes that although some pieces of ice will remain, the Arctic basin may be free of sea ice in the next two years starting in the summer of 2017.
Wadhams’ study says that melting sea ice will have a great influence on the planet since the sea ice is more able to reflect (反射) sunlight compared to water that can only reflect 10% of the sunlight. Once the sea ice melts, the water can only reflect a small amount of sunlight. This means that the Earth will receive and absorb more sunlight, making the planet even hotter.
The year 2016 has already broken records of the hottest temperature ever recorded and the trend doesn’t seem to show any decrease in global warming. “It doesn’t look like the ice is healing and growing back,” Tom Wagner, NASA’ s manager for cryosphere (冰冻圈) research said in a statement.
Like Wadhams, scientists and researchers all over the world are lecturing around to educate people to help lighten global warming that has already changed the planet’s landscape.

A.the water will reflect more sunlight | B.more heat will be taken in by the earth |
C.more water will cover the earth | D.there will be more hours of daylight |
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your aptitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY (流利) NOT ACCURACY (准确性). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and take into consideration any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.
Forth, most Chinese students are reactive (反应式的) rather than proactive (积极主动的) language learners. Instead of actively finding out opportunities (机会) to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
If you do not use your English out of the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
7. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?A.Don’t be fluent. Just be accurate! |
B.Don’t be nervous, don’t be shy. Just write! |
C.Don’t be shy, don’t be fluent. Just listen and write! |
D.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Just speak! |
A.try to be as reactive as possible in learning English |
B.try their best to enrich their vocabulary |
C.try to avoid being afraid of making mistakes |
D.pay more attention to listening before opening mouth |
A.More hurry, less speed. | B.Practice makes perfect. |
C.Silence is gold. | D.Better late than never. |
A.A sports newspaper. | B.A movie magazine |
C.A report on study. | D.A teacher’s diary. |
Reading is an important part of learning English. One of the best tips on how to improve your reading skills is to think about how you read in your own language. Start by thinking about how you read different documents. How do you read newspaper?
Reading in English is like reading in your native language. This means that it is not always necessary to read and understand each and every word in English. Remember that reading skills in your native language and English are basically the same.
Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language:
Skimming
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information.
Scanning
Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information.
Extensive reading
Extensive reading is used to obtain(获得) a general understanding of a subject and includes reading longer texts for pleasure, as well as business books. Use extensive reading skills to improve your general knowledge of business procedures.
Intensive reading
Intensive reading is used on shorter texts in order to extract(提取) specific information.
A.Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. |
B.If you do not understand a word, you may look it up in the dictionary. |
C.Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. |
D.Do not worry if you do not understand each word. |
E.It includes very close accurate reading for detail. |
F.Do you read every word in your own language? |
G.How do you read novels? |
