Teachers’ Day is the perfect chance for students around the world to thank their teachers.     2    

In China, Teachers’ Day is on Sept 10. But in the US, teachers have a whole week to celebrate. Teacher Appreciation Week is in the first full week of May every year.     3     Now, they bring gifts with pictures of apples, such as mugs, picture frames and teddy bears. Some students also make DIY gifts for their teachers. During the week, school clubs often offer teachers free breakfast or a cup of coffee.

South Korea’s Teachers’ Day is on May 15. Many students offer carnations (康乃馨)to their teachers.     4     Thousands of students prepare personalized cards and give them to their favorite teachers.

Although different countries have different Teachers’ Days, there’s one day for the whole world to honor teachers.

Making new friends.

5 . How to Learn English Idioms (习语)

One way to improve your English is to learn English idioms-and then use them.     1     They make you sound more like a native speaker. Like other languages, English has thousands of idioms which you can use in many different situations, or to talk about your feelings and opinions. So how do you learn them?

Learn idioms in context

It’s difficult to learn idioms through lists.     2     Make sure you have an example of how the idiom is used, and know clearly whether it’s common. This is important, because if you use the idiom in the wrong situation, it won’t sound natural.

Don’t try to learn too many at once

    3     For that reason, don’t try to learn more than five at any one time. Don’t forget: You’ll need to practise your new idioms (like any new vocabulary), so limit what you do in any lesson.

Understand the feeling

We often use an idiom to express a feeling or emotion. So for example, we say that someone has a heart of gold. Because gold is a precious metal, we can imagine that someone with a heart of gold is a good person.     4    

Listen out for idioms

If you hear two words used together in an unusual way, it might well be a new idiom.     5     However, usually you might need to make a note of it or ask the person who has spoken it.

A．Idioms can be complex.

B．Instead, learn their meanings in context.

C．Idioms can add interest to what you say or write.

D．In fact, it does mean that a person is very kind.

E．Sometimes you can guess its meaning in context.

6 . When your pen is broken, the battery in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what do you do with these things?    1    But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted(分类)separately.

Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide.     2    Shanghai has worked with Allpay to create a “green account(账户)”service for its residents(居民). Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Allpay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products.     3    

Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but that pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained.

Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯泡). Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” bin.

Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study, China is improving its waste-sorting efforts.    4    . But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.

If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and be buried together.

    5    The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater(地下水).

Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

Using Social Media (社会媒体) Positively

Social media is so common in our society that almost everyone is connected to some form of it, whether it is Twitter, Facebook or even Instagram. We are in a fast-paced, technology-developing society and we are addicted to social media. In fact, we are looking forward to social media.

So how does one ensure a positive online reputation (声誉)? It's simple：

●15.    3     Find your brand, or what you want people to think of you. Proper spelling and grammar is always a plus, but it may not be your brand. Think about what you want people to think of you and go with it.

A．Ensure you're professional.

B．Don't trust privacy settings.

C．Know your post is written personally.

10 . Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Once again, DC Comics and Warner Bros, have divided fans and critics -- over the superhero film Justice League.

    1     There are a log of reshoots of scenes. A new director was brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter. Of course, there was a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.

Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment. They say it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.

My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: It was both exciting and funny to watch. There is something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen.     2    

However, I will say that a lot more work needs to be done if the producer wants to guarantee success in the future. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed.     3     These are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.

Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman a somewhat brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to add to the fun, though there is , sadly, no post-credits scene（“彩蛋”）. The producer must be careful, however, not to make the same mistake as many others in the industry have:making bright and colorful movies with rather poor stores.

Justice League is not a perfect film, but it is definitely not a terrible one.     4    . For me, I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.

A．I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done.

B．There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release.

C．As far as I am concerned, the film is a marvel.

D．Definitely, a lot of work is still to be done.

E．Whether the film will be well received, especially among the young, still remains to be seen.

F．Perhaps that is affecting my opinion.
