A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day.
At school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White，an officer of forty，was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer，Mr. Hunt began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.
“I'm sorry，sir，”said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back. "
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last solider's turn. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but. . . "
Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you at once!"

【推荐1】Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation（代）of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.
China just issued commercial licenses（发放商用牌照）for 5G on June 6, 2019. This means that China’s telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data（数据）and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?
5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds（毫秒）to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less-this is almost real-time.
This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.
5G + entertainment（娱乐）
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.
Also, virtual reality (VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
5G + transport
5C will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals（信号）to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors（传感器）. 5G will allow cars to react（反应）even faster than human drivers.
5G + smart homes
5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.
For example, your toaster can automatically（自动地）start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler（洒水器）could water your plants by itself.
1. What’s the main idea of the passage?| A．5G will make the Internet of things possible. | B．Mobile networks are changing for better. |
| C．5G will change our lives in many ways. | D．5G networks for mobile phone users are coming. |
| A．卡顿 | B．暂停 | C．延时 | D．掉线 |
| A．Entertainment | B．Health care | C．Transport. | D．Smart homes. |
| A．Download a movie in minutes. | B．Make self-driving cars safer. |

【推荐2】What kind of job would you like to do in the future? Students from Dalton Junior High School in the US state of Georgia took a test about skills. It gives students advice for their future jobs.
Cindy, an eighth-grader, feels ever more sure of her life goal: becoming a marine biologist(海洋生物学家). “It’s always been my dream job,” she told The Daily Citizen. Cindy said the test showed her what she already knew about herself. “I like to work with people and explore(探索) deeper on what is happening.”
The test told Linda that she “likes finding specific(具体的) answers to problems”. This matches her choice of future study. “I want to learn engineering in high school, so I’ll know if I really enjoy it before college,” she said. “A lot of people go to college not knowing what they want to do, and that’s a big reason they drop out.”
For James, planning his future in junior high school puts him ahead of the game, “It gets me thinking about what job I want to do, so I won’t waste my time,” he said.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.
Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.
What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:
1. Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

Every spring, there are sports meetings at many middle schools. When students on the playground crowd into a circle and shout loudly, “One, two, one, two.” Do you know what game it is? It is tug of war (拔河).
Tug of war is a team sport between two teams at each end of a rope. It first came into being in China 2, 400 years ago. It is very popular in China and many other countries. But in other countries, their tug-of-war match is not the same as ours. They have eight men for each team, while we may have the match between two sides with equal number of men or women players. Of course, they are usually tall, strong and heavy.
For a tug-of-war match, we need a long thick rope. Each team stands at one end of the rope, holding it. There is a white line in the middle of the field. Then they try to pull the center of the rope to each of their own sides. The winning team is the one that pulls the other over the line.
Tug of war was once an Olympic sporting event. It lasted until 1920. Though it isn’t an Olympic sport now, people in many countries like playing it very much.
