Toxic elements in everyday life
(A) When it comes to danger, all of us try to avoid it. We wear seat belts in cars, helmets when we ride bicycles and use
protective eyewear when using tools. To most of us, safety comes first. But what if exposure to dangerous elements
cannot be so easily avoided? It may seem shocking, but toxic elements are actually common in everyday life, posing a
danger to ourselves and others.
(B) Scented products often contain potentially harmful chemicals. Perfumes commonly consist of dangerous toxins like
camphor, acetone and benzaldehyde. When inhaled, these chemicals can result in dizziness, headaches, irritation of
the eyes, nose and throat, as well as nausea. Air fresheners also normally include ingredients that are can negatively
impact our health, such as ethylene-based glycol ethers and paradichlorobenzene. When washing clothes, fabric
softeners are often added to the laundry in order to add a fresh aroma. What many don’t realize, however, is the thin
layer of chemicals that coats the fabrics and remains on them through the laundering process contain hazardous
elements which can result in skin irritation, headaches, and respiratory problems.
(C) Toxic chemicals can also be found in the kitchen. Nonstick cookware, for example, can emit a harmful gas when
heated. This has been linked to reproductive issues and other health problems. Even in food itself, dangerous
components can be found. Canned products, for example, have been shown to harbor high levels of Bisphenol A, a Unit
chemical that interferes with our hormone balance and may be linked to infertility, heart disease, and diabetes.
(D) From makeup and antiperspirants to plastic water bottles and food containers, chemicals have become a part of our
daily lives. As they could potentially threaten our health, we would do well to educate ourselves on what we consume on
a daily basis, though most toxins in everyday items are completely harmless in small doses.

READING SKILLS: Identifying theory and fact
READING
A fact is any phenomenon or action that is verified. In other
words, what you can verify or prove is called a fact. Newton
observed the action of an apple falling from the tree. It is very
important to know that facts remain facts even after several
centuries. A theory, however, is offering an explanation of what has
been observed or verified.
In reading comprehension. It is important to distinguish theory
and fact, because it helps you to better grasp the gist of the
passage and to answer post-reading questions.

Dear Headmaster,
We have been asked about our opinions on opening iPad classrooms. I am
in favor of this plan for the following reasons. To begin with, everyone learns
differently. Students can customize their iPad with materials that fit their level
and learning style, and thus tailor it to different needs. Moreover, when
connected to the Internet, students can interact with teachers and classmates
about what they learn more conveniently. For the sake of environmental
protection, opening iPad classrooms is a good way to save trees that we have
been cutting down for paper. Most importantly, I believe students will develop
their interests in the subjects by enjoying a new way of learning.
I hope you would take my ideas into consideration and we look forward to
attending an iPad class.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Grammar
Part Three
Subject-verb agreement
A. If a sentence has a singular subject, it is followed by a singular
verb, and if it has a plural subject, it is followed by a plural verb; that
is, the verb agrees with the subject. Compare:
She lives in China.
More people live in Asia than in any other continent.
学而思网校
•
When the subject of the sentence is complex the following verb
must agree with the main noun in the subject. In the examples below
the subject is underlined and the main noun is circled. Note how the
verb, in italics, agrees with the main noun:
1) Many leading members of the opposition party have criticised the
delay.
2) The only excuse that he gave for his actions was that he was tired.
B. If the subject is a clause, we usually use a singular verb:
1) To keep these elder people in prison is inhuman.
2) Whoever took them remains a mystery.
• However, if we use a what-clause as subject, we use a singular
verb if the following main noun is singular, and a singular/plural verb
if the following main noun is plural:
1) What worries us is the poor selection process.
2) What is needed are/is additional resources.
C. Some nouns with a singular form, referring to groups of some
kind, can be used with either a singular or plural form of the verb.
These nouns are sometimes called collective nouns:
e.g. The council has (or have) postponed a decision on the new
project.
学而思网校
• We use a singular verb if the focus is on the institution or organisation as a
whole unit.
• We use a plural verb if the focus is on a collection of individuals.
Some collective nouns:
association
audience
army
class
club
college
committee
community
company
crowd
enemy
family
generation
government
institute
press
public
department

Part Four
学而思网校
Born to a model mom and a suit maker dad, fashion was actually in my blood. I always had a strong desire to dress
in a certain way and to stand out from the crowd.
I made my own toys when I was a young child and sewed my first skirt at just 10 years old. A friend's mother took
one look at my skirt and told me that I should be a patternmaker. In high school I started making my own clothes,
mostly changing other things because I never liked anything how it was when I bought it. During the last two years of
school, I worked part-time for a small business that made hand-painted silk clothing and bags. The owner became the
teacher who got me into design in the first place. Another useful bit of work experience then came when I worked at a
showroom during fashion week and found it very exciting. From there I worked at a top clothing store while I got my
business started.
For my business I started out with the idea that everything I did would be hand-made and one-of-a-kind, specially
made for one individual who hopefully had the same tastes as me. Every morning I jumped out of bed, went to my
studio and worked on my projects. This just showed how enthusiastic I felt about my work. And at night I even
dreamed of new designs!
Fashion design is functional art. What I mean is that it's something close to you and something you can touch and
feel, and actually interact with. My advice to any young person who wants to be a fashion designer is to get the basic
skills early on, such as sewing and pattern-making. Even if you end up specializing, it's really important to understand
all aspects of design in order to make high-quality clothes.
Also, if you dream of having your own clothing line, the best thing to do is start wearing your clothes. You have to try
and do this because that's the way you're going to develop something that's all yours and unlike anyone else's. I
believe that the right clothing can make people feel better and give them more confidence.
