well. Practice is necessary in speaking English well.
Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and
whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the
number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the
foundations (基础) and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.
Going to England or an English-speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If
you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I
think it is very good to visit some English - speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life.
You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English
is going to improve even faster. You ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and
happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!
Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent (坚持的) and do it every day. It is like
playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see
where it is going. Practice, practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on you way
when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence!

accent, perhaps modeled on the way a Hollywood star speaks? Or maybe you want to imitate (模仿) the
British accent of a BBC news reader?
Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent. Especially
when the person speaking is of the opposite sex! Let"s listen to what they have to say. Stephen Yang, 17, from
London, UK A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it. Whether it"s Jessia Alba speaking or the
girl- next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle that is really sassy (时髦). A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood. Her Texan twang (鼻音) had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of
meeting her.
To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics and lifestyles of the people. Jennifer Sun, 16, from
New Jersey, US From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft
spot for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of
style.
Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example,
many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak. The
English accent seems almost like art.

operate the computer as soon as possible.
A: Just remember that Rome wasn"t built in a day. Word processing (文字处理) can"t be such an easy
matter.

through your work, you may say that you are"hot". That is true, the time of day when you feel most energetic
(full of energy) is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(top). For some people the peak comes
during the forenoon (上午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why
this is so.
Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which
cycle each member of the family has.
You cannot change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better."Habits can help," Dr.
Cleiman believes. If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day,
rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn (哈欠) and stretch. Sit on the
edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying
them out the night before.
B. whether everyone has a daily cycle or not
C. why people have their energy cycle of body at different times
D. what will happen in the family if the couple fail to realize which cycle each member has

D. They do not know which cycle they themselves have.
B. one can change his cycle
C. whenever you feel hot, your energy cycle reaches the highest
D. your cycle must be in the morning if you can get up early
B. Jumping out of bed as quickly as possible.
C. Looking for clean clothes.
D. Sitting for a while before getting out of bed.
B. If you know your cycle you can change it to fit your life.
C. Father and son do not necessarily have the same cycle.
D. Having a habit of doing something can make people affected less by their energy cycle.
but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily
find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury.
Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of
the iPhone 3G"s high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek
speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster
than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and surf
the Web at the same time. That"s great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G network of
AT&T (美国电话电报公司) (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active. That"s not so
great in cities like New York where AT&T"s cellular coverage is awful. As one of my colleagues
in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It"s just a toy. You can"t make
phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time."
The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the hundreds
of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You"ll find tons of games (I like
JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular
websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you,
but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you"ll enjoy them
a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews),
Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location-
provided by the iPhone 3G"s GPS chip-to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster
over the 3G network.
B. It has a faster network
C. It is easy to locate a place
D. It is too expensive for people to buy
B. ecause he prefers Verizon phone better.
C. Because AT&T"s cellular coverage is terrible there.
D. Because Verizon phone enables him make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time.
B. many apps have been developed for the iPhone.
C. Most apps are very expensive.
D. Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times are popular websites.
B. appreciative
C. optimistic
D. pessimistic
New rules and behavior standards for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is going
to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won"t only have high marks. They
will also be kids who don"t dye (color) their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else"s work on an exam? Don"t do it again! That"s not
something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room,
don"t tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-Loving Month in
China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about
animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes more fun for everyone.
Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together
can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you"ll discover
Earth II someday. Don"t look down on new ideas. Everyone"s ideas are important. You should welcome them,
because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don"t let it happen to you.
If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet
aren"t for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework.
Can"t you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some: http://kids.eastday.com;http://chinakids.com;
