【推荐1】Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
★ When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you to his/her house, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can arrive a few minutes after 3:00, but it is also a good idea to arrive at the right time.
★ What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share(分享), or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
★ How to greet (问候)
When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr or Mrs Smith. This will show them more respect(尊重).

【推荐3】根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）。

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence word for word into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what will be your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Languages don’t just have difference in sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s also important to master the rules for word order in the study of English. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener will not understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. However, sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples!” “I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

1. We should put every word into our own language when we are learning English.
2. The writer thinks it is important to master the rules for word order in learning English.
3. Sometimes different order of words has a different meaning.
4. “She only likes apples.” is different from “Only she likes apples.”
5. How to Learn English is the best title for this passage.

【推荐1】It is late at night, People in Cape Town, South Africa. line up to collect water from a spring (泉). One by one, they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons (加仑). Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months, that number will be cut in half.

Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years, the city has faced a drought. It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water. Otherwise, the city will one day be forced to turn off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time, Day Zero was expected to be June 4. But the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.

"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem," said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."

On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.

Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.

Across the city, people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.

For some people, rationing ( 定量供应 ) now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush the toilet.

1. How much water will each person in Cape Town get in a few months?

A．13 gallons.

【推荐2】This morning I got an email from Roy. It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at college.

The email made me think of the first day when we moved into this house.

Little Roy ran around the new house with joy and tried to move his own things into the house such as his toys, books and clothes. Suddenly, his little hand knocked over some paint on the table. The paint made the tidy floor and white wall very dirty. “Oh, my God!” My wife ran into the room angrily, I looked at my son, and he was so afraid that he said nothing.

I smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Roy. Now let’s do something special.” I took out a brush. “You see, Dad is good at magic shows. I can change it into a big free tree.”

His mother soon joined us and helped paint some flowers on the wall. We spent all the afternoon painting and laughing. The wall became a beautiful forest with plants, birds and small animals. Roy also painted blue sky and white clouds. On that day, everyone in the house knew something special happened.

The night before Roy left for college, he asked me if I still remembered the day when he had knocked over the paint. “Dad, you helped me out that day. After it, I never worry about making mistakes.” he said, “I believe I can always find out ways to solve the problems.”

That’s for sure. Making mistakes is part of life. When we make a mistake, what we shouldn't do is to run away from it. Mistakes can be helpful if we make good use of them. In fact, our attitude(态度) towards them may be more important.

1. When the boy knocked some paint over, _____________.

A．Roy’s mother cleaned the floor carefully	B．Roy’s father did something special to Roy

2. How did Roy feel all the afternoon?

A．Busy but happy.	B．Afraid and worried.
C．Afraid and tired.	D．Worried but busy.

3. Why did his mother join them soon?

A．Because she wanted to clean the wall together.

B．Because she thought it was hard for them to paint trees and flowers together.

C．Because she thought it was a way to change mistakes into something nice.

D．Because she didn’t think the forest on the wall was beautiful enough.

4. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the passage?

A．Mistakes are important to everyone.

B．We should try not to make mistakes.

C．One’s attitude towards mistakes is very important.

D．Everyone must learn to pay for their mistakes.

I'm sure you look into the mirror several times a day. In fact, we can't live without mirrors. Today, mirrors are everywhere from your room to your father's car. They are helpful in many ways. The mirror has a long history. But do you know who invented it and when it was invented?

People started using mirrors a long time ago. The first mirrors used were natural mirrors such as reflection(反射) in water. The first man-made mirrors were made out of the rock. Later, people used different metals such as bronze(青铜) to make mirrors. Throughout history, different types of mirrors have been used in many different cultures at the same time.

The first glass mirror was invented by a German named Justus Von Liebig in 1835.

Today, mirrors come in various shapes and sizes. They are used for different reasons. We usually start our days by looking into the mirror in the bathroom. We also use them often during the day to keep ourselves tidy.

Mirrors are important for cars, too. If cars don't have mirrors, it's impossible to drive. This is because drivers can't see other cars coming. Of course, that would lead to many car accidents. It is said that breaking a mirror causes seven years of bad luck. So, look after your mirrors well.

1. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．the mirror is popular in daily life	B．the shapes of mirrors
