“Hello!”Mrs Franceschini welcomed my parents.“Richard just came to Canada a few months ago. I am amazed at how his English has 6 so fast,“she said. “On his first day, he was very shy and only used 7 words. Now he can answer and ask questions by using whole sentences.”
8 many other Chinese parents, my mom asked if she could give me extra homework. “Don’t worry. Richard is already working very hard,” Mrs Franceschini laughed. Then she shook my hand. “Richard, you did a good job. I am 9 of you!“ she said.
Back in Shanghai, my teacher Miss Li was very 10 . In a test, my average(平均) was 97, top of the class. I was proud to take parents 11 the interview.
Miss Li told my parents,“Feng Yu is doing pretty well. But because of his 12 ,he lost 3 points in math. Otherwise he would be the top of the school.”
I thought she was being 13 to me. But when I was about to leave, I realized Miss Li was very nice. She hosted a party for me and gave me a big card. Her phone number and e-mails address were on the card.“FengYu, you’re my best student. I 14 you a successful life,” she wrote. “If you want to talk or need any help, I am always here for you.”

Passage 2

With 2 on one hand and fear on the other, I arrived at the classroom. Everyone’s eyes were on me as I entered the classroom.

He gave me a piece of 20 called “course requirements”. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I chose the 5 closest to the door instead of the corner where all of the boys were sitting. I didn’t 6 want to pick a seat because in India, the teacher 7 seats, and I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the picture produced by the overhead projector (投影仪).

She said, “That is the lunch bell.” I felt a little 11 and my face turned red suddenly. Without another word, I headed for the cafeteria (食堂). At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus stop. I realized that all the 28 was like the difficulty I had to 12 to reach my goal. I 13 my bus and sat down inside happily. I said to myself: Today isn’t so bad.

Passage 5
For much of my childhood, my mother filled the evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t 1 when one evening my mother announced she’d start a new project.
“I’m going to telephone neighboring 2 every night,” said my mother.
“Every night? But you don’t even 3 these people.”
“Doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I want to listen.”

My 5 didn’t affect my mother’s project. That evening after supper, she settled on the sofa with the phone and began making phone calls.
For a while, I listened 6 she asked the lady on the phone about her day, what she had eaten for dinner, and asked if she had 7 that the beautiful roses had come out in a neighboring park. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you 8 whether she had cookie or cream pie for dessert?”
My mother replied, “I’m the 9 person she talked to today.”
It took me nearly thirty years to understand the 10 of what she was doing. Now, as my mother is nearing sixty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make.
I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just 11 as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole a piece of cheese from the kitchen.
I 12 that my mother’s calls were lifelines (生命之线) that kept lonely seniors connected to the world. Somehow, she managed to work full-time and 13 a family while improving the lives of others.

I learned this lesson from a(n) 2 many years ago. I took the head 3 job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.

His job is a 3 of detective, set designer and negotiator. Typically when he first meets his clients, they are ready to find and kill the predator that’s been 4 their livestock (牲畜). His goal is to offer an 5 : coexistence.
His process starts with 6 the local predator. To gather 7 Chrysafis sets his secret weapon: cameras. He walks the land, looking at it and 8 cameras by the clearings and paths where animals are most likely to 9 .

The images he gathers often help to put landowners 10 : caught on film, even a mountain lion can seem like a shy neighbor. The images help people 11 the wildlife that they live with.
Many of Chrysafis’ deterrence techniques are designed to give the 12 of human activity. The tools he 13 include radios playing voices, motion-activated lights and noise-making equipment. Another effective method is human 14 : Chrysafis presses the sweat out of his own shirt.

Passage 1
I had always been warmly praised for my basketball shooting ability when I was in high school. But when I went to Ohio State, I discovered that everyone on the team was 1 in his hometown.
To win a starting job on the team, I had figured I would have to 2 the coach with my shooting ability. But it turned out that the team was 3 full of attacking players and what it needed was someone to 4 on defence (防守). Unwillingly, I decided to take that role, but didn’t expect the 5 was to make all the difference to me later.
One day, when we were 6 a game against the Bucks, I was called out by the coach, Milwaukee, who gave me the 7 to guard our court (球场). Though feeling a bit 8 , I accepted. Throughout the game, I continued playing the defence role.
Then, near the end of the game, in a(n) 9 to widen the score gap, Milwaukee gave me a precious 10 . He asked me to organize an attack. Running to the center of the court, I 11 the ball. It was a 12 three-point play and the championship was ours.
Standing there in that circle of cheering audience, I came to 13 the importance of teamwork. Just as Milwaukee said, “ 14 teams often have one or two players who stand out; good teams have five who work together. It is amazing what can be achieved when no one cares who gets the 15 .”

Passage 2
I believe even the smartest people have to work hard to achieve success, because there is no such person as a born winner. People make themselves into winners by their own 1 .
I learned this lesson from a(n) 2 many years ago. I took the head coaching (主教练) job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the 3 team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to 4 the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated. I couldn’t 5 I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were 6 me. I had to change my attitude towards their ability and potential.
I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. Most importantly, I began to treat them like 7 . That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and 8 passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our 9 on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to 10 . Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a 11 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me the greatest 12 of my life!
From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 13 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 14 them. I helped them to see themselves 15 , and they built themselves into winners. Winners are made, not born.

There are many types of English around the world. Some well-known 1 in Asia include Manglish in Malaysia, Singlish in Singapore and Japanese English. In Tokyo, 2 can be seen everywhere. But they’re just not always 3 . Now, a group of eight women 4 experts has formed the Association for the Betterment of Public English in Japan to help.
The experts say the government uses online translation too much. They think computer translation creates strange and 5 words and expressions. Many of them look funny to 6 English speakers. They are now getting local governments to pay attention to the English translation on official websites and public brochures.
The researchers worry this could bring harmful 7 on Japan’s image(形象). “We’re not trying to look down on people. But it just 8 us to see errors in the English translations. With the Olympics probably happening this year, we just want to 9 the official English is correct.” One of these experts said.
The volunteers have started 10 local governments and have so far received positive replies. Local authorities in Urayasu have set up a working group to 11 the city’s multilingual(多语种) online services later this year.
“And foreign people living in Japan should at least be given correct, understandable 12 , especially if they need to evacuate after a natural 13 . It could be a matter of life or 14 .

If you are wondering what there is to 5 about, you can always start by expressing the 6 you are having at the moment. What you say isn’t important; it’s 7 that you simply keep talking. Another thing you can try is 8 that someone is asking you questions so that you can answer them. This is an excellent way of practicing to 9 in English.
Perfect your talking-to-yourself 10 by using a mirror to make short 2-3 minute impromptu speeches. Pick any topic you like, and speak about that 11 for several minutes straight, without 12 . It’s important that you don’t stop speaking even if you feel that you have nothing else to 13 or that you can’t find the right word. Go around and express your ideas in a(n) 14 way.

When I arrived in Kyoto, I 3 two other English-teaching colleagues—also new to Japan. We soon realized that we needed to take language classes, so as summer break approached, we 4 in intensive Japanese classes. It was very interesting to watch our different 5 to learning and using our new language.
One weekend, we decided to take a day trip to Ryoanji, a famous rock garden, but from the train station we had to ask directions to the garden.
One friend was very 6 about speaking correctly. She would spend several minutes quietly 7 to herself, checking her dictionary, and planning how to ask the question. Five minutes passed before she would even open her 8 !
Another friend was very outgoing and rather 9 to language structures. She 10 the first person she could find, and asked him for directions. The 11 was that he had difficulty understanding what she was saying. When he finally understood, he 12 the directions, but then she didn’t understand everything he said, so she asked again and again for him to repeat the directions. Several minutes passed and she was still not clear on the directions and he was trying to find a way to 13 !
My approach was different. I considered what I was going to say, and then asked the nearest person for directions. 14 my Japanese was only good enough to grab some information. But I followed the directions I heard and I simply asked a new person for the next set of 15 . And so I continued until I finally made it to Ryoanji!

I had 7 my students with similar words in my own teaching. It was 8 to hear them directed at me. The tables turned.
“You are 9 today,” my teacher would say when I used varied vocabulary or expressions. When I heard these four words, I got a feeling of 10 . It also surprised me that my confidence could be encouraged by such 11 praise. That was when I became aware how 12 I had praised my students, because I thought much praise made them self-satisfied.
