When I was in Chengdu, I saw teahouses on the streets. There is a saying: China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.
The service in the teahouses is really friendly. When you go into a teahouse, the waiters or waitress greet you with smiles on their faces and with teapots and cups in their hands. After you sit down, they set the cups on the table and pour the tea into the cups.
People who go to teahouses are not really thirsty. They pay 20 yuan to go to a teahouse and will sit there all day long to talk with each other. These days, more and more people go to teahouses for business talks. Some teahouses also have performances, such as story-telling and Sichuan Opera.

【推荐1】Do you love flowers? Today I would like to tell you something about a kind of beautiful flower—sunflower.
A sunflower is a big round yellow flower. Sunflowers need a lot of sunshine to grow. In fact, sunflowers are made up of many small flowers. The center part is made of one kind of flower, and the petals (花瓣) around it are another kind of flower.
We use sunflowers in different ways. One thing we do with them is to look at them! Many people plant them in gardens because they are so big, bright and colorful. They can also be cut and brought home. They will last a long time in a vase (花瓶).
Sunflower seeds(种子) are good to eat. People, birds, and other animals love to eat sunflower seeds. They can be difficult to be eaten because of the shell (壳), but they are rich in protein (蛋白质) and are good for health. Sunflower seeds also have a lot of oil in them. Many people use sunflower oil for cooking. The food tastes very nice after using it.
Sunflowers are not only beautiful flowers, but also give us and other animals food. But be careful of the rough stems (粗糙的茎), or they will hurt you.

【推荐3】Speaking English fluently (流畅地) might be difficult for you now. But all you need are the right methods and confidence (自信). I have prepared some advice for you.
Stop Being a Student
Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and think of yourself as someone who speaks English. It’s a small change, but it will make you feel more confident and help you use the English you already know better.
Try to Learn Phrases
Speaking English fluently means being able to express your thoughts and feelings. Your goal is to speak English in full sentences, so why not learn it in full sentences? You’ll find that English is more useful in your life if you study whole phrases, rather than just simple words.
Studying English for an hour once a week isn’t usually enough to make any real progress. The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.
Don’t Be Afraid to Make Mistakes
Sometimes it can be difficult to put all those rules and words together into a simple sentence. Don’t let the fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking. Even if you think you’re making a mistake, keep speaking anyway. Most of the time, people will understand what you're trying to say. The more you speak, the easier it will be.
1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?| A．Practicing English every day helps you make greater progress. |
| B．Studying whole phrases makes you express your thoughts and feelings worse. |
| C．Thinking of yourself as an English speaker can make you more confident and use English better. |
| A．Just keep speaking |
| B．Stop speaking right away. |
| C．Think of yourself as an English speaker. |
”?| A．Hard Work Pays Off |
| B．Practice Makes Perfect |
| C．Failure Is the Mother of Success |
| A．In a student’s diary. |
| B．In a travel magazine. |
| C．In a study newspaper. |
| A．A writer who writes novels. |
| B．A teacher who teaches history. |
| C．A student who wants to improve English. |
