How are we going to celebrate Children’s Day? Well, it will be on Friday this year, and we usually have exams on Fridays. Maybe the best way to do it is to stay in the classroom, do our homework and prepare for the exams. Well, we are no longer children, after all.

Swimming and English Learning
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 and speak. We can listen to English programs on 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 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. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken 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’re 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. 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.
( ) 41.  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
( ) 42. We should learn English by _______.

C. A and B D. swimming
( ) 43. 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.
( ) 44. What’s more important for senior school students?
A. listening B. speaking C. reading and writing D. learning
( ) 45. We can listen to English ______, according to the passage.

Good morning, everyone. My topic(论题，话题) for today is “How Americans Value(重视)Time.”
Americans think a lot about time. From childhood(童年) they learn to value time. As children, parents teach them to be on time to go to school, to do work and to do everything. When they are having a good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying, they say he is living on (靠…为生) borrowed time.
Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. This is the working time. In his spare time, he also work hard for money. Even Saturday and Sunday are filled with other things. In the street you can hardly see a man who walks slowly. They work very fast. In fact, they are running.
When you ask Americans why they are in a hurry all the time, they will probably say, “Time is money.”
