1.Among the four skills in learning English, which one of these is the “odd-man- out”? The answer is speaking. The other three you can do alone on your own. 2. Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” be cause men in white coats may come and take you away!

Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practice speaking when you are alone?

At school

If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible.

3.

Just speak!

Conversation Clubs

Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.

_4._

Even if you don't want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop.

“How much does this cost?”“Can I pay by cheque?” Often you can start a real conversation and nothing!

Cafe and Bars

There are often American, Britain, Irish and Australian bars in many large cities. If you can find one you'll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.

Language is all around you. Everywhere you go, you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbers... When you walk down the street, practice reading the numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It's not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to in English. 5._

Songs and Video

Repeat the words of an English language song singing with the music until it becomes automatic. It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.

Above all, speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible} When you know that you have made a mistake, you know that you have made progress!

A. Dinning.

B. Shopping.

C. But don't speak too loud!

D. But you can't really speak alone!

E. Don't worry about your mistakes.

F. Where You Find People to Speak English

G. You can Improve Your English by Speaking

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Every Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community in Brookfield, Illinois, US, with my classmates to do community service.

After my very first visit to Cantata，my life changed forever.That may sound a bit dramatic, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.

Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25?30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents while we're there.

You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “l(fā)ife back then”， but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there. Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.

Whether it was talking to 98?year?old “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.

Even the residents who don't have amazing memories make the experience satisfying.I remember visiting Mrs. Robinson. She couldn't recall much about her past, but she told me she'd never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling(漫談)”. It made me realize that it's the little things that make life worth living. That's something I won't forget anytime soon.

If there's one thing I've realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it's that presence—just being there—means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how busy our lives are, there's always time to make someone's day.

For me, it feels great to be a source of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

It's easy to feel like you don't have anything in common with the elderly—especially when you're a teenager. But that's not true at all.

I hate to be overly clichéd(陳詞濫調(diào)的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, it's important for us to realize this sooner rather than later.We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often benefit from teenagers too.

1.What do the volunteers do according to the passage?

A．They share everything with the residents.

B．They play board games and cards with the residents.

C．They watch the residents play games.

D．They buy gifts for the residents.

2.According to the writer, what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for the elderly?

A．Playing with them.

B．Benefiting from them.

C．Helping them.

D．Being there with them.

3.What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?

A．We don't have anything in common with the elderly.

B．Age is just a number.

C．It is important to help the elderly.

D．Young adults and the elderly can benefit from each other.

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors

Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we wrte, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here is how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.

1._Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names. But it’s okay to be the one to break the ice , even if you’ve lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they’re babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.

2._These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors maybe feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they’re far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in theneighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.

3._ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you’ve finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking — and the talk will be good.

4._If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.

5. In a good relationship, it’s really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you’re truly concerned, you’ll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up — a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it’s needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.

Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted

Carol Vaness, the well-known American opera singer, was born in San Diego and began her professional performance in San Francisco. She has sung at many of the major opera houses in the world. Unlike other world-famous male opera singers, she was particularly known for her Mozart operatic roles.

At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes.

“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater,” Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”

According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s a lot softer.

Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano(女高音) voice – the highest singing voice for women.

Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten why she started singing in the first place. “Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy. That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings.”

1.What is the best title for this passage?

A. The Way a Star Sings

B. An Opera Star

C. Opera Singing and Pop Singing

D. Singing without a Microphone

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. A pop singer breathes more deeply than an opera singer when he or she sings.

B. Opera singing is more like speaking.

C. A pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing.

D. An opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing.

3.From the passage you can conclude all the following EXCEPT that __________.

A. Carol once learned to play the piano

B. Carol has been singing opera for 20 years or so

C. Carol worked as a music teacher

D. Carol is popular with Americans and Europeans
