learning. Could you please give me some advice? Thank you.

You can have conversations with your friends about your life. It’s a good way to improve your speaking and enjoy
yourself!
JuneHi, there! I’m from China, too. While you are listening to the tape or taking a listening test, you can catch
some key words and write them down. You’d better watch English programs on TV in your free time. Don’t worry
if you don’t understand, just get the key words and guess what they are saying.

Little Inventions around Us
Are you sitting in a classroom right now? Look around. What do you see? You
probably see pencils, erasers, chalk, and other everyday normal things. These little
inventions that we never notice are very important parts of our daily lives.
Take Post-it notes for example. Those are the little yellow notes that are sticky
（黏的） on one side. You just write something on one side of a note, and stick the
note to something. That’s very convenient, because it’s not easy to lose your note. You
can put the note wherever you Post-it notes want. Besides, the notes are very cheap.
The man who invented Post-it notes was Dr. Spencer Silver. He was trying to create a
super strong glue. Instead he created a weaker glue by mistake. However, when he did
that, he helped invent one of the world’s most useful office things.
How about Velcro? Velcro is useful because it can hold just about anything together.
The scientist who invented Velcro got the idea when he went hiking. He noticed that
little burrs were sticking to his clothes. A burr is a small, rough seed Velcro（籽）
that sticks to things. The scientist looked at the burr in his microscope. He noticed that
it had tiny hooks（钩）. He thought that he could make a clothing material that had
similar tiny hooks. His idea worked, and he created Velcro.
Another invention is aluminum foil（铝箔）. Aluminum is a kind of metal.
Aluminum foil is a very thin sheet of metal. A piece of aluminum foil is similar to a
piece of paper. We use aluminum foil to pack things, to cook things, aluminum foil and
to wrap（包裹） food. There are quite a few other things that we use it for.
These little inventions have made life easier. Every time you use some small object like
a pen or a paper clip, remember that it was invented by some clever person a long timeago.
24. From the inventions in the passage, Velcro can be used for ________.
A. creating super strong glue B. wrapping cooked food
.
C posting notes on the board D. sticking things together
25. What does the writer think of the inventions?
A. They have changed our cooking styles. B. They play important parts in our lives.
C. They are all invented by accident. D. They are made of the same materials.
26. What can we know from the passage?
A. Aluminum foil can also be used to cook things.
B. Spenser Silver created a stronger glue by mistake.
C. It’s not easy to find Post-it notes in the classroom.
D. The scientist got the idea of Velcro from a zipper.
C
Spreading Happiness
Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss are art teachers in a school. They thought their students might have the
magic words that could bring calm to people in difficult times, so they created a project called “Pep Toc” with their
students. The project had two parts—one was setting up a hotline, and the other was making encouraging posters.
The two teachers had the same basic question for all the students: “What could you say to help or encourage
someone else?”
Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. Then Ms. Martin recorded each one,
and divided the recordings into different parts of the telephone hotline. When people call the hotline, they can hear
happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive（积极的） messages. For example, pressing l brings
ideas for people who are “feeling mad or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include: “listen to music” or “go and get a
cookie”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement and life advice”. This includes messages like: “The world
is a better place with you in it.”and “You are okay!” By pressing 3, you can hear a group of children saying
together: “You can do it! Keep trying, don’t give up!”
Other students made encouraging posters and hung them up around the town. Many posters had strips（条）
of paper. When people passed by, they could tear off（撕掉） the strips and take with them. For example, one
poster said “If you are mad, think of positive thoughts.” and had strips reminding people to “Be happy.”
Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But in its first six
weeks, the hotline got 5 million calls from around the world. It has become very popular with stressed adults,patients in hospitals, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children. For Martin and Weiss, the
project shows students that small acts can have a big influence. “If you have an idea, just try to do it and see what
happens,” Weiss says. Students now know that they have amazing power. They’re already thinking about new
messages to record for the Pep Toc Hotline.
27. Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss created the project in order to ________ .
A. encourage their students to take part in art competitions
B. ask their students to work hard to achieve their dreams
C. expect their students to bring pleasure to people in trouble
D. help their students to get good scores on their art exams
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. What could be received from the posters. B. How they worked on their hotline properly.
C. Where people read the posters more easily. D. When the hotline could be telephoned.
29. What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph?
A. The project has made great influence on the people around the world.
B. The posters didn’t attract interest from the people near the school.
C. The hotline hasn’t become popular with the people in the town.
D. The students felt stressed about the development of their project.

Polite Speech
Different countries and cultures have their own rules of polite speech. When learning a language, it is important to
learn rules of polite speech of the culture in which that language is spoken.
In spoken English, indirect questions are generally considered more formal (正式的) and polite than direct
questions. Indirect questions are questions with extra (额外的) words and phrases to make your questions softer and
less demanding (强求的). Try using some of these phrases to create indirect questions, “Do you know…”, “Can/Could
you tell me…”. When “Where is the bus stop? “ becomes “Do you know where the bus stop is?”, it sounds much
more polite.
It is said that it is easy to recognize (辨别) an impolite question when you’re the person being asked the question,
but not so easy when you’re the one asking the question. What makes a question impolite? Most people would
consider a question impolite if it’s asking them for information that they don’t really want to disclose to others. For
example, in many cultures, it is not polite to ask questions about money. “How much money do you get every month?”
is not good. When unsure, it is best to remember that, if you are meeting someone for the first time, or you don’t
know a person very well yet, keep on the topics like sports, music, hobbies, or other general ones. Avoid topics whichcan be more personal to someone, such as money, family, age, health, politics, religion (宗教) .
In the English language, “magic words” are very important in polite speech. “Please” is sometimes referred to
as the “magic word”. When eating out in a restaurant, you’d better say “Check the bill, please.” instead of “Bring me
the bill, waiter!” Another magic word (or phrase) is “thank you”. When using English to ask for things or information,
it is therefore important to use the magic words “please” and “thank you”.
,
Polite speech is always welcomed so why not use it? Even if you haven’t used these polite words and
phrases all your life, it’s never too late to start. Practice holding polite conversations with family and close friends
until you’re comfortable. and it feels natural. Gradually, speaking politely will become second nature (天性) to you
though it might seem so difficult to speak politely. Try to speak politely in different situations. This will help you
communicate better with other people.
30. If we want to make our questions more polite, we should ________ .
A. speak louder to make everyone hear the questions clearly
B. make a good choice of proper places to ask the questions
C. ask questions directly with pleasant expressions on faces
D. add extra words to the questions to make them sound softer
31. The word “disclose” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. look up B. make known C. pay attention D. keep away
32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It’s not easy for the listeners to find out the impolite questions.
B. Some “magic words” play an important role in our polite speech.
C. Personal topics have to be talked about when we meet a stranger.
D. It isn’t necessary to practice polite conversations with our family.
33. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To discuss the advantages of the polite speech.
B. To teach us to use language in different situations.
C. To encourage us to use polite speech in our life.
D. To help us deal with the shyness when we speak.

The Value of Labor
Can you cook? If so, what are your special dishes?
For middle and primary school students, being able to cook will become a must in the near future. They will
also need to learn how to plant vegetables, repair home electric products, raise animals at home according to the newcurriculum standard（课程标准）for labor（劳动）education.
Starting from this autumn term, students in primary and middle schools need to take courses on labor skills at
least once a week. The labor courses have three types of labor tasks. The first type is everyday chores. It includes
cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using or repairing home electric products. The second type is productive labor. It
includes making traditional handicrafts（手工艺）, and using new technologies such as 3D printing and laser（激
光）cutting. The third type is service work. It includes volunteer work in the communities.
The new curriculum also calls for the build of a labor week every school year. Schools should arrange（安
排）a week of off-campus activities. The labor education must be strengthened（加强）to help students develop an
interest in labor and form a strong social responsibility（责任）.
Recently, internet users have discussed the changes online. Many welcome such courses and say it is necessary to
teach young students basic life skills. Some have regretted not learning such skills during their own school days.
,
Liu Fang a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, is a strong supporter of labor education. For the past
year, she has trained her daughters to do house chores and make simple dishes for the family.
“The main idea is to let them share responsibilities as family members and become independent as early as they
can.” said Liu, “Through doing housework, their hand-eye coordination（协调）, time management and organization
skills can be trained and it’s also good to help them relax. My twins have fun in doing chores and are more
independent.”
