Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong information. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work, I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st-January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new wear with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!

Father’s Day has now become a day to honour(向……表示敬意) not only fathers but also all men who act as fathers. Stepfathers, uncles and grandfathers are all honoured on Father’s Day.

Do you regret for wasting too much time using phones? Do you know how to control your time on phones? Here is some useful advice given by Cathy and Mario.
Cathy
Self-control is a difficult thing to master. Some people are completely unable to control themselves when they play video games. But there are ways to deal with it. For one thing you can ask your parents to lock your phone. For another, there are plenty of things to keep you busy. You can read a book, draw a picture, or go on a short walk outside. The world outside of your phone is big and beautiful. Check it out!
Mario
Cut down your time spent on games during the weekdays. Remind yourself that you have to do your homework before playing. Putting a note on your desk can also help remind you to stay off your phone. Remember, it’s OK to play on your phone. You just have to make sure you don’t do it too much.

【解析】

—In two hours.
A. How long B. How often C. How soon

8. There are two special days for parents in America. One is Mother’s Day, ________ is Father’s Day.
A. others B. the other C. another
【答案】B
【解析】

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st-January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new wear with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes.

Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year.

How to learn English well
English is important and useful to us. How can we learn it well? Here are my suggestions.
First, we should often listen to the tapes and English songs and watch English programs. Watching English movies is also helpful to us. Second, we should speak English in class as much as possible. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make. We’d better join the English club and practice with others. Third, we can read more English newspapers and magazines. It’s good for us. At last, we should recite some good passages and keep diaries.
In a word, as long as we do more listening, speaking, reading and writing, we will learn English well.
