A
Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate (模仿) and speak. We can listen to English programs on the radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not (不敢) speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we are interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure (失败) . Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
1. You can learn to swim by ________.
A. reading books about it B. looking at others swimming
C. having lessons on it D. going into the river and learning
2. We should learn English by ________.
A. listening and speaking B. looking at others swimming
C. reading books about swimming D. swimming
3. We can listen to English ________ according to the passage.
A. by train B. on the radio C. every minute D. now and then
4 What will you do with mistakes when you speak?
A. Don’t make mistakes. B. Study hard.
C. Try not to speak English. D. Don’t be afraid.
5. What’s more important for senior school students?
A. Listening. B. Speaking. C. Reading and writing. D. Learning.

People can train some animals to help humans (人类). For example, specially trained dogs help people who can’t see anything walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can learn how to help people who can’t use their arms or legs. The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings, carry shopping bags and do housework.
In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends, but there are a few interesting examples where they can work together. In Africa, the honeyguide bird works with humans to find food. The bird likes to eat the grubs—a kind of insect that lives inside a beehive (蜂窝). It knows how to find beehives but it can’t open them and get the grubs. People like to eat honey, but they aren’t very good at finding beehives, so the bird and the people help each other. The bird flies to a beehive and the people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird.
In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins work as a team. The water isn’t very clean, so the fishermen can’t see the fish. However, dolphins can find them easily by using sounds. When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell the fishermen. Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach. The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets. The fisher men’s nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too. The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins. The dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!
16. The trained monkeys can’t ________ .
A. help people who can’t walk B. teach the kids to climb trees
C. sweep the floor and clean the rooms D. pick up the phone when it rings
17. Honeyguide birds help people ________ .
A. find honey B. make honey C. open beehives D. find grubs
18. Why are honeyguide birds glad to help people?
A. Because they want to make friends with people.
B. Because they are clever and friendly.
C. Because they are good at finding grubs.
D. Because people also help them get the favorite food.
19. How do dolphins help fishermen?
A. They make sounds to send the fish away.
B. They make sounds and then catch the fish.
C. They make sounds and then push the fish to the beach.
D. They make sounds to make the fish jump into the net.
20. What is the main idea of this article?
A. Animals are our friends. B. Some animals can help people.
C. Animals are born to help people. D. Any kind of animals can work with humans.

Every student knows the importance of taking notes in class. But the skill of note- taking isn’t only used in school. Adults need to take notes in meetings or training courses for work. So here are some ways to help you develop this important skill.
●Begin with the date and the topic of the class. This may seem clear and it will help you keep your notes organized (有条理的) .
●Focus on the most important points. If you want to write down everything the speaker says, you will only be tired. Instead, listen for the key ideas the person wants to communicate.
●If the speaker uses a PowerPoint, you may not need to copy the slides. Ask if the Power Point will be available (可用的) afterward. If so, you can focus on writing the things the speaker says instead. Or you can take a picture with a phone. Also, the PowerPoint may be available before the class or meeting. If so, print it out so you can write notes on it.
●Look over your notes again after taking them. This will give you the chance to add any information that you didn’t write down. It’s best to do this as soon as possible. so that you don’t forget anything. This review will also increase your chances of remembering what you wrote.
Note- taking is a useful skill, so it’s important to practice doing it well.

People can train some animals to help humans (人类). For example, specially trained dogs help people who can’t see anything walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can learn how to help people who can’t use their arms or legs. The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings, carry shopping bags and do housework.
In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends, but there are a few interesting examples where they can work together. In Africa, the honeyguide bird works with humans to find food. The bird likes to eat the grubs—a kind of insect that lives inside a beehive (蜂窝). It knows how to find beehives but it can’t open them and get the grubs. People like to eat honey, but they aren’t very good at finding beehives, so the bird and the people help each other. The bird flies to a beehive and the people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird.
In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins work as a team. The water isn’t very clean, so the fishermen can’t see the fish. However, dolphins can find them easily by using sounds. When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell the fishermen. Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach. The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets. The fisher men’s nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too. The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins. The dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!
