UNIT 1 How can we become good learners?
一、阅读填空。
主题语境:人与自我 话题:恰当的学习方法与策略 建议用时:6~10 mins
I’ve been working in a school for more than twenty years. And I have met many parents who often ask me questions like “How can I teach my child good study skills?” Here are my answers.
Have a peaceful mind.
As parents, you may often worry about your children’s study, especially when your kids make little progress. Please remember: Rome wasn’t built in one day. It takes time and patience.
Have a homework list.
If your child is as young as nine or ten years old, ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers. By developing this habit, he or she will learn to be much more responsible(负责的).
Find a good place to study.
This should be a quiet place which is free from everything but study things. Once you have decided on a place to study, this should be the only place where your child does his or her homework.
Homework must be the first.
Generally speaking, homework should be done as soon as the child arrives home from school. This also goes for kids who take part in after-school activities.
Work independently.
Some children give up easily and go to their mom and dad for help when they meet a problem. Try to let them solve it by themselves first. By doing it, they will get a sense of success.
In the ways above, we help them improve their study skills.
If you want to help your children improve their study skills, you can follow my advice. First, it’s not necessary to 1.__________ about your children’s study too much. It takes time to develop good study skills and you just need to have 2.__________ . Second, ask the children to write down the homework given by the teachers in a 3.__________ . Third, find a quiet place where there are no other things that may draw their attention. And you’d better not change the place after deciding on it. Fourth, children should finish their homework as soon as they arrive 4.__________ . Fifth, children should try to 5.__________ the problems by themselves first, and then they will get a sense of success if they do so.

For language learners, it’s of great importance to use a dictionary. Paper dictionaries are often great choices for us. They lead us to think in a more correct( 准确的)way. However, more and more students like e-dictionaries better now. With the rapid development of the Internet, many websites and apps offer us information about the language we are learning. Jinshanciba is one of them. It is popular with people of all age groups while some other people still think the paper dictionaries are more believable.
Jinshanciba is an online dictionary(在线词典). You can visit www. iciba. com or use the app for free. You can look up words in a foreign language to get their meanings. Also, you can translate short passages from one language to another. It provides us with information more correctly. Many people like to use it.
·Which do you like better: a paper dictionary or an e-dictionary?
Ruby: My paper dictionary is a great partner for me. Whenever I don’t know the meaning of a new word, I can learn it well by understanding the notes and the example sentences in the paper dictionary.
Roy: I don’t like carrying a heavy dictionary wherever I go. It’s really convenient to learn a language with the help of an online dictionary. You don’t need to spend much time looking up what you need. Using an online dictionary makes a more effective(高效的)learner.
Pam: I like to look something up in the paper dictionary. The explanations are so clear that I can understand better soon. I don’t think the online dictionary is believable. Sometimes there are some wrong usages.
Mike: If you are not good at memorizing English words, you can look up their meanings online very soon. It helps you finish reading the English passages more quickly. If you are a good language learner, you can always learn more in a shorter time in an online dictionary. It saves much time.
What can you do to use the dictionary wisely?
It’s important to learn effectively( 高效地)with the help of a dictionary whether you use a paper dictionary or an e-dictionary. First, you should choose a dictionary you like. Second, information selection is necessary. Next, we need to compare the information. Then we can put it in the context (上下文)in the passage so that we can decide the explanation. After that, check the passage.

The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar(阴历的)month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head.

Old people see it as the start of spring and farming, because they believe that after Longtaitou, there will be more rain. And rain is of great importance to farming.
Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained popular is to have a haircut. Some people believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to their uncles, mainly their mothers’ brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head-Raising Day.

Learn the secrets behind making amazing ice sculptures(雕塑)
On Dec. 7, 2023, Harbin had an ice-collecting festival. People got together on the Songhua River and picked up the first ice cubes(冰块)of the year. They cut the ice into big cubes 40 to 50 cm thick. The festival is a symbol of the city’s ice and snow season.
Ice cubes from the Songhua River are clear. Later, sculptors will turn the ice cubes into many amazing ice sculptures.
“Ice is the body of a sculpture, and light is its soul(灵魂),” said Su Shi, an ice sculptor in Harbin.
Tools are important for making an ice sculpture. Chainsaws(链锯)and die grinders(电磨)are often used. They are used to make holes and carve small corners.
Irons(熨斗)are also very useful. After sculptors make small parts like a rabbit's ear, they use irons to melt the bottom of the ear a little. So, the ear can stick onto the head.
You can find some amazing ice sculptures at Harbin Ice and Snow World. Also, the ice slide and the Ferris wheel there will make your day. Winter can be hard for some people. But these sculptures brighten the long cold months.

主题语境:人与社会 话题:人际交往 建议用时:6~10 mins
In our life, we use different expressions in different situations. Saying “How are you?” is a friendly way that people greet each other in Western countries. It is also a very direct question, but it doesn’t have a real answer. The speaker who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if his friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes, people don’t say what they mean, either. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No. I disagree. I think you are wrong...” But it is very impolite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” politely.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, the person who wants to stop usually ends up talking with the sentences like “Someone’s at the door.” or “Something is burning on the stove.”. The excuses might be real, or they might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say directly. The excuses sound more polite, so they don’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s important that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s all part of the game of language.
People use different expressions in different situations. “How are you?” is a 1.__________ Question without a real answer. It is a friendly way for people to greet each other. Even if the friend of the 2.__________ isn’t fine, he hopes to hear the answer “Fine”. The question and the answer are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. When showing disagreement, someone won’t say “No. I disagree. I think you are wrong...” Instead, he says “I’m not sure.” 3.__________ .
People don’t always say what they really think. They usually 4.__________ the talk with “Someone’s at the door. ” or “Something is burning on the stove.”. These 5.__________ don’t hurt others because they sound more polite. This is how people try to be nice to others.

Most Chinese parents have great expectations(期望)of their children. When children are born, their parents have planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are not happy. They live a planned life and are forced to achieve the dreams that their parents failed to achieve when they were young.
According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on his or her parents’ expectations. However, unrealistic(不切实际的)expectations can be bad to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and hobbies. Parents’ unrealistic expectations can take children’s freedom( 自由)away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them by their grades.
My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I keep working hard, though my parents do not force me to do so. I will never lose heart because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble.
In a word, I think parents’ expectations are needed. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, they should give them enough freedom.

With people paying more attention to traditional culture, hanfu has become more and more popular in recent years. People are often seen wearing hanfu to take photos. There are many opinions on the new trend(趋势)and here are some of them.
Zhu Dake, a teacher in Shanghai, thinks clothing connects people to their cultural roots(根). According to him, everyone has the right to choose his or her clothing and lifestyle. He says most hanfu lovers wear the traditional dress only at special times such as traditional festivals. It is a good way to show love for our country.
Zhang Yiwu is a teacher at Peking University. In his opinion, most Chinese people aren’t clear about their traditional dress. With growing calls for reviving( 复兴)traditional Chinese culture in recent years, many Chinese people have started showing interest in hanfu. By encouraging more people to wear hanfu, Zhang thinks we can also help develop other traditional clothes such as tangzhuang and qipao.
Zhang Bo, another teacher from Beijing, thinks it’s natural that Chinese people are turning to traditional clothing and that people’s love for hanfu actually shows their search for cultural roots. But it should be made clear that this is not the revival of hanfu, because the traditional dress has always been around.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been making and drinking tea. On Nov. 29, 2022, things related to tea were added to the UNESCO’s ICH(非物质文化遗产)list. These things include knowledge, skills and social practices(习俗)on how to plant tea plants, pick tea leaves, make tea by hand, and drink and share tea.
The traditional technology is mainly found in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian and Hunan. However, the social practices of tea spread around the country.
There are a number of social practices. For example, the host should welcome guests with boiled tea. Boiling tea started in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of fruits. Later, in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a faster way nearly took its place— steeping(冲泡).
However, now the old way enjoys its popularity again among young Chinese people. They like to sit around a stove(炉子)as they boil tea on it. Then they enjoy the snacks and hot tea. In this way, people can feel more relaxed. As one post on Xiaohongshu says, “It is relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the light wind, and chat with best friends.”

Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When their kids break the rules, parents will punish them. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should tell them what the punishment will be.
Punishments should be reasonable. For example, if you find your son smoking, you can limit (限制)his social activities for two weeks, such as stopping him from going to parties or going to the cinema. After the rules are broken, you should punish your kids only in some ways you have discussed with them. A study finds that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time. It not only makes them pay more attention to study by reducing their time for fun, but also punishes them by making them rethink what they have done wrong.
When rules are broken, you may get angry. Punishment is a way to tell your children you are angry, but it’s not a very good one. Talking about your angry or sad feelings with your kids can have a better influence on them. When your kids know what they have done has made you sad, they will feel guilty(愧疚的). They will feel sorry about what they have done wrong. When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will follow the rules better.
Family rules are made to help your kids behave( 表现)better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of stress, are they helpful?
Many families make rules. But in fact, parents should tell their kids the punishment when telling them what the family 1.__________ are.
After the rules are broken, punishments should be 2.__________ . Parents could punish their kids for smoking by stopping them going out, or reducing their TV time. That could make them spend more time on study, and also make them 3.__________ what they did wrong.

So punishment, as well as family rules, should not make kids unhappy or uncomfortable, but help them behave better.
