Teenagers often have problems with English. Yesterday we hold a discussion about what to learn English well. We came up with some suggestion. For example, some of us thought it was important to take the active part in classroom activities, because we could learn a lot of during the activities. Some agreed watching American films could a good way to improve listening and speaking skills. Others suggested read English novels to practice English.

As for me, I prefer listening careful to teachers in class. What’s more, writing to your pen pal in America helps me much with my English. I hope all of us can found our own ways to learn English well.

We met a little girl seven years ago during one of my daughter’s occasional hospital stays. Her name was Beth and she was my daughter’s roommate for a week. My Daughter had an incurable kidney(腎) disease. Beth was a very happy girl, despite the fact that she had cancer. I was amazed at her will and determination to never give up, however sick her treatment made her. She was always concerned about my daughter and the other children with cancer.

My daughter’s hospital treatment was completed in a week and we were waiting for her final discharge orders when Beth appeared. She said “I want you to have this. I know you need a new kidney, so keep this angel pin with you till you get better. She will watch over you and make you smile. My friend, John, gave it to me to watch over me. When you get your new kidney and smile, you can give this angel to someone that needs her, too”. My daughter thanked her and the girls exchanged hugs and big smiles. Later that year, Beth passed away.

We kept that angel for six more years. Finally, a kidney became available and she received a transplant.

Now she felt it was time to give it to someone who needed to be watched over until he or she could smile again. She gave it to an elderly man trying to recover from a heart problem.

How many families and hearts this angel has touched, no one knows for sure. But all that it took was a single gift of kindness. So in this Christmas season, create a tradition with your children or maybe someone you love. Give them a gift that keeps on giving. It’s a gift from your heart.

1.For what reason was the author impressed with Beth?(No more than 15 words)

2.Why did Beth give an angel pin to the author’s daughter?(No more than 10 words)

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?(No more than 5 words)

4.What tradition should be created as it is suggested in the passage? (No more than 15 words)

5.In your opinion what can be a gift from your heart? And why? (No more than 20 words)

The job interview is an important part of your job search because it's an opportunity for the employer to figure out if you're right for the job. The following tips may help you prepare for your job interview.

●Dress for success. Professional business clothes are always appropriate, regardless of the type of job you are applying for.

●Be there on time. Try to arrive 5 to 10 minutes early to be safe. Find out ahead of time where you're going and how long it will take you to get there. Drive or travel the route a day or two ahead, at the same time of day as you will on the day of the interview. 1. Have a backup（備用）plan.

●Let your personality shine. If you're excited about the job, don't be afraid to show it. Employers want passionate employees, so be yourself.

●Be confident. 2. But just don't let your nerves overpower your interview. Eye contact and a calm, clear speaking voice are excellent ways to show your confidence.

●Be polite. 3. Remember, this is your first introduction to the organization, so be polite to everyone you meet and turn off your cell phone.

●Listen and ask for clarification（闡明）, if you need it. Remember to listen carefully to the interview questions so that you can actually answer the questions, and never interrupt. 4.

●Let them know what you have to offer. When answering the questions, let the employer see what you have to offer to his organization. Talk about your past. experiences and achievements honestly, and tie those experiences to how they can help you contribute to his organization.
