Our teacher asks us to keep a diary in English. I enjoy doing so because I           keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to       our English writing ability.
Compared with        forms of writing, it is shorter and        less time. It can help us to        the habit of thinking in English.          we persist in (坚持) this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English,          can use the important phrases and sentences we’ve         in or out of English classes to describe our         , and this way we can master and use freely        we’ve learned, which will do good          us in English learning. But       we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have        finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there         many idiomatic(惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them        English properly.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we           always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever          beats (难倒)us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for           , if necessary.
In short, I believe that it is of           use to keep a diary in English for the development of our           skills.

There are many differences between America and China. The biggest difference is traffic rules. In America there are too much more cars than in China. But there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China. We hardly see traffic police in the street, but all cars obey strictly traffic rules, and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street.
About American traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as:
1. Stop line: There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light (some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines). All cars must stop while meeting the stop line.
2. Traffic light: There is traffic light in the crossing of the road. Cars may almost turn every direction. The traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn. There is a kind of middle lane of turning left. When a car wants to turn left in the road, he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left. When he thinks being safe, he may turn left. In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically. If people want to change lane or turn, they must look behind and think being safe. Only so, they may do it.
3. Specific item: Such as parking, there are three kinds of lines (their colors are white, blue or red) in the roadside. Every line may park different kinds of cars. There are many streets in some residential areas (住宅区), and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time. In every parking, there are some special positions for invalid (伤残的) people.
4. About the priority of passenger and car: At any case, passengers have the priority to cars. And only after passengers have passed the road and got the top of sidestep, cars may go ahead.
In general, traffic rules of America are very specific, convenient, safe and humanizing.
Which of the following is NOT the reason why we can hardly see traffic police in the street in America?

A.Traffic police are not very necessary because few cars break traffic rules.
B.The traffic is very clear and there are few traffic jams and accidents in the street.
C.There are so many cars in the street that the traffic police can’t be seen.
D.The effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety.

Why is there a middle lane of turning left on the road?

A.It is designed for the cars that want to turn left.
B.It is very safe to drive there.
C.It is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that break the rules.
D.The cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.In America, all cars in the crossing must stop when they meet the stop line.
B.In America, any car cannot park in the streets in some residential areas.
C.If people want to turn, they can obey the guide of the traffic police.
D.There are more traffic jams in China.

What’s the best title for the passage?

A.American Traffic Rules
B.Differences in Traffic Rules between China and America

An English saying goes: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” That means we should relax after a day’s hard work or we’ll be unhealthy.
Many students know that if they want to get ideal jobs with good salaries, they must do well in high school so they can enter good universities. Therefore, they spend all day studying without time to relax.
However, not all students can go to top universities even if they work very hard. Students are pressurized by parents and teachers who are just concerned about their studies and exam scores while ignoring their hobbies and individual differences. As a result, students are forces to work harder and harder. Furthermore, there is pressure coming from students themselves. They realize they have a slim chance of getting into a top university as competition is fierce. So, they put a lot of stress on themselves and stay in a nervous state day after day. If they keep it up,   they’ll suffer illnesses; both psychological and physical.
What students need is relaxation. This doesn’t mean that they should give up their ambitions and stop studying hard. It means “work while you work, play while you play”. If you can do this, you will improve your health greatly. You’ll feel yourself suddenly fresh, just like recovering from a terrible illness. You’ll find that your studies are not a burden(负担) anymore.
The underlined part in the first paragraph might mean all the following EXCEPT______.

A.too much work may bring trouble to anyone
B.overwork without rest is sure to make one foolish
C.Jack becomes dull because he works too much
D.Anyone who doesn’t work will break down

What trouble have both the parents and teachers brought to the students?

A.They don’t know how to let the students relax.
B.They give too much burden for them to bear.
C.They don’t love those who work the hardest.
D.They fail to understand what the students need most.

What causes the student’ pressure from themselves?

A.That they don’t know how to get top universities.
B.That they want to relax but have no chance.
C.That they fail to relax themselves during their work.
D.That they think too much about the result of their work.

What is the passage mainly about?

A.What to do to relax yourself.
B.The serous situation for the poor students.
C.Some problems caused by the misunderstanding of learning.
D.How to be a healthy and successful learner.

No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days—they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours; some may have hallucinations(幻觉).
There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep—office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.
Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend(倾向) to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
According to the passage, some people are unable to think clearly because ___________ .

A.they have hallucinations
B.they feel sleepy during the working hours
C.they don’t have enough sleep
D.they are certain to be kept from going to bed

Which of the following is TRUE?

A.All grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep.
B.Most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours.
C.Quite a few people need only 5 hours or less for them to sleep.
D.No grown-ups sleep more than ten hours.

Whether you have got enough sleep is judged by__________.

A.how many hours you have slept
B.how many hours you need to sleep
C.whether you do exercise and physical work
D.whether you feel fresh and energetic

According to the passage, a boy of 14 years old sleeps__________.

A.as long hours as a grown-up
B.much longer hours than a grown-up
C.for 14 hours each night
D.for less than 8 hours per night

How to improve your perseverance(毅力)
If you’re familiar with the story of the hare (野兔) and the tortoise(乌龟), you know that the tortoise proved that perseverance is much more important than speed.           , but fewer people have the patience and perseverance of the tortoise. Here are some tips that can help you to improve your perseverance.
●Set goals and write them down.
If you don’t know what you want to accomplish, it’s hard to persevere(坚持) until you do.        , instead of making many projects that may upset you
       , and cross each step off the list as you complete it.
If you want to master the ability to cook German dishes, you’ll need to read cookbooks, study the recipes(食谱), buy ingredients(食料) and practice making the dishes. Write down all these steps and remove each step as you go.
●Make a list of the rewards related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.
When you want to lose 40 pounds, it may seem like a difficult goal.         . You can lower your blood sugar or fit into your favorite pair of jeans(牛仔裤). Keep those rewards in mind to encourage yourself to stick to your diet and exercise program.
●Imagine your success.
Take time each day to sit back, relax and picture the life you’ll lead once you’ve reached your goal.          . Read them over several times a day to encourage yourself to keep going.

A.Like the hare, many people start off strong
B.And you should focus on every step carefully
C.You can’t lose weight only by going on a diet
D.Make a list of the steps needed to reach your goal

E. But there are big rewards for doing so
F. Choose one or two goals that are most important to you and work toward those
G. Or you can write out a paragraph or two about how reaching your goal will change your life

My mother always bought gifts to me for my birthdays. With my fifteen birthday around the corner, she asked me I wanted. For the first time, I realize how lucky I was to have been born in such a fortunate family. I was satisfying and there was nothing more I needed. That was because I told my mother that instead of get an expensive gift, I’d love to use the money to help others. At the first , she felt surprised. When she realized I was seriously, she offered me 500 yuan. I bought some toys and went to the orphanage(孤儿院) in our city. I handed out the toys to the child and had a good time with them.
