A. Method I
One of the best ways to learn a foreign language is to follow the method you use to learn your first
language. As a child you hear the sounds of your own language and you repeat them. You see the written
form of the language around you and little by little you are taught to link the forms of the language. The
BBC programme uses this method in many different ways.
B. Method Ⅱ
With explanations in 37 languages as well as completely in English, these are broadcast to most areas of the world from London and by some 300 overseas radio stations in more than 100 countries.
C. Method III
These audio courses are for people who wish to learn English at home or in the classroom. Although
women belong to the radio series, they can all be used for studying English from beginners" level to
advanced.
D. Method Ⅳ
BBC English programmes have been broadcast successfully on television in more than 100 countries.
They can also be got on video, with supporting textbooks and audio cassettes, they form complete courses for home study or teaching.
E .Method V
The BBC English magazine is a bi-monthly publication and is a companion to BBC English radio broadcasts. It is written by the programme makers and includes programme details, practical home study
exercises and features, as well as items of general interest from BBC programmes dealing with science,
medicine, technology, etc.
F. Method Ⅵ
This popular course for learners and teachers of English is held in London every summer. For
information on any of the above please write to:
BBC English, PO Box 76, Bush House, London WC2B4PH1
In London personal callers can see BBC English courses on display at the BBC World Shop, Bush
House, London WC2B4PH.

who are quizzed about their child"s physical activity level describe their children as fairly active.But a
new study of nearly 2,000 British school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount
of physical activity their children are really getting.
The researchers equipped 1,892 British school children, ages 9 and 10, with accelerometers that
measure all physical activity during a given time period.The research, known as the Speedy study
collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in Norfolk, England, between April and July
2007.
A child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity.
Although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity, a_sizable_minority_of_
children_were_not.Overall,39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than
an hour of physical activity each day.
But if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their child"s activity level, the vast
majority-80 percent-described their children as fairly or very physically active, according to the findings
published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.Interestingly, the children themselves had
more awareness about their lack of physical activity.Overall,40 percent of children overestimated their
physical activity.
But it wasn"t the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical
activity levels.The parents who were most out of touch about their child"s physical fitness were more
likely to have children who were slim.Parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical
activity.The researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical activity
for children even if the child is not overweight.
"Parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately active, " the study
authors reported."Increasing awareness regarding health benefits of physical activity beyond weight
control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change."
B. Children with less than an hour a day of physical activity.
C. Overweight children.
D. Children out of touch with their parents for a long time.
B. Only a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity.
C. A small number of children didn"t overestimate their physical activity.
D. The minority of children were not studied at all.
B. persuade parents to keep an eye on their children"s weight
C. urge children to wear accelerometers during exercise
D. advise parents to keep in touch with their children
hearing memory has been greatly improved, he"ll be able to use and remember what he listens
to in class. The success of these suggestions depends upon your ability to use your child"s
natural desire to get involved in games he finds simple and fun.
A good way to begin is to read aloud a sentence from a book suitable for your child"s
reading age. Then ask your youngster to repeat the sentence back to you correctly. Next,
reread the sentence, leaving out a particular word. See if your child can identify the word
you left out. At the beginning use only simple sentences. Gradually, increase the length of the
sentences. Make sure you don"t rush things along too quickly, or your child may become
discouraged and tired of the game.
Take your child shopping with you often. He"s to remember a list of items you want to buy
in the supermarket. First , ask him to remember only a few things. Then, as he shows increased
ability to remember, make the list longer and longer. Praise him often and warmly when he
shows increased ability to remember things. He"ll become proud of his "good" memory and
will happily play the game.
Encourage your child to learn easy and short poems. As his ability to do this becomes
stronger, encourage him to remember longer poems. Do the same with songs.
B. you can stimulate(激发)your child"s interest in the activity
C. you force your child to get involved in more practice
D. you improve your own hearing memory first
B. to develop his reading skills

The idea for a science experiment can come from an unusual place.After watching a YouTube
video of a dancing bird named Snowball, a scientist in California decided to study the ability of
animals to keep the beat.
Bird lovers have long claimed that their pets have rhythm, and there are many videos of dancing
birds online.Until now, scientists have suspected that humans are the only animals that can accurately
keep rhythm with music.
Thanks to Snowball, that_scientific_opinion is changing.Snowball is a cockatoo, a kind of parrot,
and his favorite song is "Everybody" by the Backstreet Boys.When he hears the song, he moves his
feet and rocks his body with the tempo, or pace of the music, as though he is the only bird member
of the boy band.
Aniruddh Patel is a neuroscientist, or a scientist who studies how the brain and the nervous system
contribute to learning, seeing and other mental abilities.He works at the Neurosciences Institute in San
Diego.After seeing Snowball" s dance online, Patel visited the cockatoo at the bird rescue facility he"s
called home for two years.The scientist played "Everybody" for Snowball and also played versions of
the song that were sped up or slowed down.Sometimes, Snowball danced too fast or too slowly.
Often, when there was a change in tempo, Snowball adjusted his dancing to match the rhythm.In other
experiments, scientists have observed the same abilities in preschool children.
Patel isn"t the only scientist who has studied Snowball"s moves.Adena Schachner, who studies
psychology at Harvard University, also wanted to know more about the dancing bird.Schachner"s
team played different musical pieces for Snowball and a parrot named Alex, as well as eight human
volunteers.The scientists observed that the birds and the humans kept time to the music with about
the same accuracy.
Schachner and her team watched thousands of YouTube videos of different animals moving to
music.Not all the animals could dance, however.From watching the videos, the scientists observed
that only animals that imitate sounds, including 14 parrot species and Asian elephants, accurately
moved in time to music.
B. humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music
C. the brain and the nervous system contribute to some mental abilities
D. bird pets can have their special rhythm under human"s instruction
B. Snowball is able to adjust his dancing to match the rhythm.
C. Snowball cannot dance to the versions of the song Everybody.
D. it is the brain and the nervous system that control the mental abilities.
B. humans" musical sense
C. the same abilities in children
D. videos of dancing birds
you do, you must be in control of your time. Your success in high school depends on your use
of time. Here are some important things to remember.
* Begin each term by filling in a master plan. First fill in things you must do (classes, work,
practice, etc. That you can"t change). Then find the most effective use for these times.
* Set a regular time and place for study. This will save you time in the long run. If you have
a study hall in your school, use it!
* Use daylight hours to study whenever possible. For most people for every hour of study
done in daylight hours, it will take them one and a half hours to do the same task at night.
*Take breaks. Don"t plan marathon study time. Have a short rest before you study again.
*By using flash cards or summary sheets, you can use odd times to study-----while you"re
waiting for class to start or for a friend to pick you up.
* If possible, plan study time with a partner. Choose your partner wisely however. Make
sure you study, not socialize yourself.
* Do the most difficult tasks when you are active. (Take math for example: when you"re
energetic, it will become easier to solve; when you"re tired, it will be impossible ! )
*Make a daily checklist. Do the most important tasks first.

A flood happens when water pours over dry land.Floods can cause very big damage
when they happen unexpectedly.
Heavy rain can cause floods.If a lot of rain falls quickly,the earth is unable to soak (吸入)
it up,and the water builds up on the ground.When it runs off into the rivers,the rivers overflow
their banks.
The worst floods happen where the land is flat and low-lying.These areas are known
as floodplains.
What should I know if I live on a flood plain?
"Stay away from flood water."
Do not walk through moving water.It can knock you off your feet.If you must walk
through water,walk where the water is not moving.Use a stick to test the ground in front
of you."Stay away from power lines that are on the ground.You could be electrocuted (电死)."
If you are scared,share your fears with an adult.Floods can be scary,but remember-the
water ALWAYS goes away!
What should I do if a flood happens?
1.Get to the meeting spot with your family.
