【推荐2】I’d give anything to draw horses the way my friend Euphemia Tucker does. They’re always running wild and free with their manes(鬃毛) flying over the paper like clouds across the sky. Euphemia’s horses look so real that you can almost feel their breath.
Today I took a piece of paper. I closed my eyes and planned to draw one of Euphemia’s horses. I could see it so clearly that I was sure I’d be able to draw it this time.
I started with a big mane. Next I drew most of the body and a long tail. It wasn’t too bad before I got to the front legs, which looked more like two noodles with wrong hooves（蹄）.
I tried again, but the hooves still didn’t seem right. I erased（擦掉） them and went on to the head. That was when I really ran into trouble. First I drew some great donkey ears, followed by sheep ears, pig ears... everything except horse ears. I erased what I drew again and again until I got a hole in the paper.
I was still upset when I got off the bus. I walked past the neighbors’ horses standing in the field. They’d been in that field for so long. Their manes never floated into the sky. Their tails hung straight down to the ground. They never be free spirits like Euphemia’s horses, but they seemed patient and strong. Their colors reminded me of chocolate.
An idea came into my mind. I started to draw a picture. The picture came out right for the first time, even the legs and ears! Drawing horses is easier when they’re right in front of you. It doesn’t look exactly like one of Euphemia’s horses, of course. But I know that when this drawing is finished, it will look great.
1. What can we know from the words “their manes flying over the paper like clouds across the sky” in Paragraph 1?| A．The manes are drawn terribly. |
| B．The manes look like they are moving. |
| C．The manes are getting mixed together with each other. |
| D．The manes look like clouds. |
| A．To show the writer’s problem. |
| B．To show the writer’s being useless. |
| C．To compare the writer’s abilities with Euphemia’s. |
| D．To show the writer’s determination（决心） to draw a nice horse. |
| A．Some situations take time to change. | B．Practice can help natural talents to develop. |
| C．New ideas will finally be accepted. | D．Ideas may come in unexpected ways. |
| A．The writer couldn’t draw well at first, but later he found a great way to draw. |
| B．The writer wanted to become an artist like Euphemia Tucker. |
| C．The writer’s neighbors helped him a lot with his paintings. |
| D．Drawing horses was so difficult that the writer couldn’t do it easily. |
【推荐3】Like many foreigners, I only knew two words of Chinese (“hello” and “thank you”) when I came to China in 2009. As you can probably guess, my life was difficult for a while after I arrived. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite stressful.
I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I signed up for classes. My teacher was very helpful, although I didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation. Later, I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow. I became very frustrated.
Finally, I found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native speakers and spend time with them. Around this time, I started playing in a band with a Chinese girl who became one of my best friends in Beijing. I learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out with her. For example, she taught me a lot of words about music. She also learned a lot of English from me in return, so it was a good way to exchange language and culture.
I’ve learned enough Chinese to take care of a few difficult tasks, such as booking train tickets and speaking with my friends. However, visits to the bank and anything else about technical language are still not easy for me.
These days, there are more foreigners than ever who are studying Chinese. I can understand why: It’s a fascinating language and there are always new words waiting to be discovered.
1. Why was the writer’s life difficult when he came to China in 2009?| A．Because he didn’t speak much Chinese. | B．Because he didn’t have enough money. |
| C．Because he couldn’t find a job. | D．Because he failed to get into college. |
| A．厌倦的 | B．放松的 | C．惊讶的 | D．沮丧的 |
| A．Sign up for classes. | B．Study by yourself. |
| C．Make friends with native speakers. | D．Play music in a band. |
Some words used in songs are not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics（歌词）when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful. You don't have to sing songs aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget!
Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joe's favorite singer, B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of "Why I Sing the Blues", you are a very advanced student.
If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends. When you are able to sing a song in another language, even if you don't sing so beautifully, you will really impress(给......深刻印象) other people!
1. Which is Mr. Joe’s mother language?
| A．French. | B．English. | C．Chinese. | D．Japanese. |
| A．everyone likes the songs | B．John Denver's voice is sweet |
| C．the lyrics of the songs are beautiful | D．the lyrics are close to normal spoken English |
| A．careful | B．excellent | C．kind-hearted | D．lazy |
| A．English Songs. | B．The Famous Band-The Beatles. |
| C．English Songs helps English Learning. | D．How to Learn English. |
【推荐2】Good grammar matters
Why is good grammar important? Well, good grammar can save lives! Just consider the difference between “Let's eat. Grandma!” and “Let’s eat Grandma!” With the first one, you are inviting your grandma over for a lovely meal. The second one sounds like you are excited about cannibalism(同类相食).
Jokes aside, some people think good grammar is unnecessary. They think that as long as they are being understood, it should not matter whether there are a few grammatical mistakes or not.
Thinking about your grammar when you are writing makes you easier to be understood. You may think a grammatical mistake doesn’t matter. But think about it from the reader’s point of view(观点). Even a small mistake can make your reader stop and read the message again.
Good grammar can also make you appear more reliable(值得信赖的). Just think about your attitudes(态度) towards a newspaper that has many grammatical mistakes in its articles. You will doubt (怀疑) if the information in the newspaper is reliable, won’t you?
The same is true on a personal level. If there are many careless mistakes, then it appears to readers that you don’t care about your work. This makes them less likely(可能的) to trust you.
| A．But I don’t think so. |
| B．That will make your writing bad. |
| C．So will you try to learn grammar well? |
| D．He or she will have to spend more time understanding it. |
| E．I hope you have now seen the importance of good grammar. |
| F．Good English grammar will help improve your English skills. |

【推荐1】Greg’s Diary
SundayTonight, Mom called for a “house meeting”. She told us that she was going back to school to start taking classes. Well, it was totally out of my expectation. She is always there when I get home from school, and that’s the way I like it.
But now, we have to make our own dinners and start doing housework.
**********
WednesdayThe first few nights with Mom away have been a disaster(灾难). We tried making our dinner on Monday. Manny made the iced tea, but it was undrinkable. Rodric cooked the roast beef, but it was a mess. So, we bagged the homemade meal idea and went out to eat.
**********
TuesdayMy task is taking out the rubbish. Tonight, Dad asked me why I didn’t do my job this morning. He said I needed to start being more responsible.
I’ve heard it from Dad before. Last summer, our neighbor Ms. Grove, asked me to look after her plants while she went on business. Well, I did it for the first few days and then I got busy with other things. Ms. Grove was pretty mad because most of the plants didn’t make it. Then she sent me home without paying me.
**********
ThursdayWell, Dad is really serious about me taking on more responsibility. And first he wants me to start waking myself up in the morning. That’s actually a real problem because I depend on him to wake me up.
Yesterday was the first day I tried to wake myself up, and it didn’t work out. My alarm clock (闹钟) went off, but the sound just worked its way into my dream. And today didn’t go any better.
The problem is without an actual human being waking me up, my brain is always going to find some excuse to keep sleeping. But I think I might have found a solution to this alarm clock situation. I found an old-style alarm clock today and it makes a loud noise when it goes off. I tested it out to see if it still worked, and sure enough, it did. I don’t think anyone could sleep through a noise like that.
1. When he heard his mom was going back to school, Greg felt _________.| A．proud | B．surprised | C．excited | D．relaxed |

| A．Looking after the plants. | B．Making the iced tea |

Your life purpose is not something you can define (下定义) today. If we are unable to know what it is in advance, how do we find and achieve it?
Everyone was born with certain natural talents and abilities—use them. Develop your strengths into skills by studying, exercising and practicing.
For whatever reason, we all feel passionate (热情的) about certain things in life. In order to live your life purpose, you must follow your heart and devote yourself to what you truly love.
Living your life purpose will undoubtedly bring you joy and a sense of personal achievement. Ask a roomful of people what the meaning of life is and most answers will come back to happiness.
The opportunities (机遇) you have in life are how the world tells you where you are needed. The point is making sure that you choose the opportunities that best match your talents, skills and passions.
There is only one thing you can control—yourself. No matter how hard you try, you can never control the results. All that we can do is put forth our best efforts with continual self-improvement.
| A．Follow your passions. |
| B．Focus on what you can control. |
| C．Do what makes you happy. |
| D．Create an area of your own. |
| E．Make full use of your strengths. |
| F．Go where you are needed. |
