Pronunciation Tips
These English pronunciation tips will help you get the most out of your Pronunciation Power program.
★ 1.
For example, “threw” and “through”, although spelled differently, are pronounced the same. Also, identical(相同的) letters or letter clusters(字母組合) in words do not always produce the same sound. For example, the “ough” in “though” and “through” represents a different sound in each word. 2.
★ Imagine a sound in your mind before you say it.
Try to visualize(想象))the positioning of your mouth and face. 3.
★ Listen to and try to imitate the Pronunciation Power instructor.
In addition to listening for specific sounds, pay attention to pauses, the intonation(語調(diào)) of the instructor's voice and patterns of emphasis. 4.
★ The English language has many different dialects, and words can be pronounced differently.
It is important, however, that you pronounce words clearly to ensure effective communication.
★ Finally, the Pronunciation Power program is a tool to help you.
But you must practice what you are learning! Remember that you are teaching your mouth a new way to move. You are building muscles that you do not use in your own language. 5. Use the program to exercise your mouth a little bit each day.
A. Read these words over and over again and try to learn them by heart.
B. This can be just as important as the pronunciation of sounds.
C. Learn to practice what you hear, not what you see.
D. So you should force yourself to do what you really don’t like to do.
E. Do not confuse pronunciation of words with their spelling!
F. It is like going to the gym and exercising your body.
G. Think about how you are going to make the sound.

Have you ever imagined what human beings will look like in the future? Well, now you don’t have to.
According to AsapScience, a Canada-based video channel that touches on many different science topics, humans will be very different creatures 1,000 years from now.
Artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and climate change will work together to change our bodies greatly, according to a video recently published by the channel.
We could, for instance, develop red eyes as our DNA changes, and have darker skin because of global warming.
The video painted a picture of a future world in which our bodies are part human, part machine. Nanobots, or tiny robots, will be put into our bodies, improving our abilities.
“No longer will we be limited by our own physiology. We will truly become a mixture of biology and machine on the inside,” says the video.
Meanwhile, designer babies will cause future generations to grow into intelligent, attractive people. As global warming takes hold, humans will also be skinnier and taller, as this body shape deals with heat better.
In fact, Cadell Last, a researcher at the Global Brain Institute located in Belgium, believes change may happen even faster than this.
As he said in a paper recently published in Current Aging Science, mankind is already going through a major evolutionary change. In less than four decades, Last claims, we will live longer, have children in old age and need artificial intelligence to finish daily tasks.
“Your 80 or 100 is going to be so radically different than your grandparents,” Last said. Instead of living fast and dying young, he believes humans will live slow and die old.
“The biological clock isn’t going to be around forever,” he added, and said that people could pause it for some time using future technology.
Just a few hundred years ago, most humans were working in the fields, while nowadays more and more are getting an education. These are just predictions, and no one can be sure how human beings will evolve in the future. But with such large changes in our environments, it seems likely that we will all look very different one day.
1.Which of the following factors could play a role in the appearance of future humans, according to the text?
A. Advanced technology and global warming.
B. Medicine that fights aging and genetic engineering.
C. The Internet and artificial intelligence.
D. The cold weather and the dangers of machines.
2.The video released by AsapScience said that .
A. humans will be thinner and shorter
B. future humans’ bodies will be part machine
C. humans will develop red eyes that will enable them to see clearly at night
D. tiny robots will be put in humans’ minds and will give them super abilities
3.Which of the following would Cadell Last probably agree with?
A. Future babies will be designed according to their grandparents’ wishes.
B. Our increasing dependence on artificial intelligence will threaten our survival one day.
C. Future technology will pause our biological clocks so that humans live slower and longer.
D. In less than four decades, humans will have a sudden genetic change that will make us rely on artificial intelligence.
4.The main purpose of the article is to .
A. tell us about a prediction of how humans will look in the future
B. offer us different theories on how humans will evolve in the future
C. encourage us to be imaginative about how humans will look in the future
D. inform us what kinds of factors Could influence how humans will look in the future

Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to have. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
1. Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 2. You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way 3. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
4. If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 5. But it can rob(奪取) you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
A. How should you start to forgive?
B. Why should you forgive?
C. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
D. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
G. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress management technique.

Miya volunteered abroad in Costa Rica with World Endeavors assisting at an orphanage(孤兒院)and teaching English at a school.
As a freshman at Yale University, Miya had plans to go to medical school.Knowing that her next two summers would be occupied doing research, Miya decided to go abroad the summer after her freshman year.“I wanted to improve my command of the Spanish language and learn about the culture and history of another country,” she explained.In the summer of 2014, Miya volunteered for six weeks in the World Endeavors program in Atenas, Costa Rica, working in an orphanage and teaching English to children in grades one through six.
“A long time before I left, I had positive expectations for the trip,” said Miya.But as the date grew closer she found herself getting more and more nervous.“I thought, what if my host family doesn’t like me? What if I get sick?”
Her fears, as fears often are, turned out to be unfounded.“The people were so supportive and loving,” said Miya.“I felt like I was part of the family.”
Miya’s host family had a large network of cousins who all lived within shouting distance. The family would cook together, and at night would go dancing, talk or eat ice cream.She noted that the World Endeavors staff on location—Diego and Mercedes, and Mercedes’ husband and daughter –were particularly helpful, taking her right to her neighborhood from the airport, and checking up periodically to make sure everything was going well.
While her nights were spent dancing, cooking, and talking with her host family, Miya’s days were occupied with the children of her host city.“I would teach in the morning, and work in the orphanage in the afternoon,” said Miya, whose placements were within walking distance from her host family.While the children were a lot of work, Miya felt a strong connection to the kids in the orphanage.
Miya noted that Costa Rica is one of the more developed countries in Central America. A nearby Internet café, for example, helped her to stay in touch with her family while she was away.And now, back in the United States, the Internet helps her keep in touch with her host family.Their correspondence continues in Spanish.And her host parents, Rosario and Jorge, recently sent Miya a Christmas card through the mail.
Back at school, Miya continues to pursue her instinct to improve education through volunteering. She participates in a mentoring group and works on a community health education program for high school students.Her time in Costa Rica, she says, “fits right into my interests in global health.”

Chinese parents are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education.Even poor couples will buy computers for their sons or daughters.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give to their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self respect and self confidence.
The reasons are that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills: they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking demands patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.His result, a well cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.These activities are not only teaching a child to work, but rather to think, and to use his mind. And that is more important.
