（一）理智使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)
Surfing the Internet can help open students' eyes and get more knowledge. As a teacher, I encourage my students to use the Internet. In class those students who surf the Internet understand lessons better than the others. Besides, people can use the Internet to write letters or stories and send emails. Many students communicate with their friends online. You can also make friends by chatting on QQ. It is cheaper than calling somebody far away and it's also much quicker. Nearly one third of young people surf the Internet for fun. They like to listen to music, watch films, and go to their favourite stars' websites. But can the Internet cause problems? Some of my students who used to study well at school are now failing exams. Because they spend a lot of time playing computer games.

2. What's the writer? (no more than seven words)
3. How can you make friends on the Internet? (no more than seven words)
4. How many young people surf the Internet for fun? (no more than seven words)

（二）英語的發(fā)展變化
How do we know what's right or wrong in English? Languages such as French and Spanish each has an official(官方的)organization that tells you what's correct. But there is nothing like that in English. So what can we do?
There is, of course, Standard English. This is the kind of English you read in newspapers or in formal letters. It is also the English you learn at school or in textbooks.
However, Standard English is not official English. And unbelievably, linguists(語言學(xué)家)think Standard English is on the same level as all other types of English such as Cockney English，Yorkshire English, South African English, Australian English, Singaporean English... And according to linguists, there is no such thing as Standard Spoken English.
English is changing all the time. Every year, new words appear and others disappear. Words change too. For example, for many years, the Latin word 'agendum' was the accepted singular form and 'agenda' was the plural form. However, these days, very few people use the Latin-sounding 'agendum'，with 'agenda' being the accepted singular form, and 'agendas' the plural.
Newspapers each has their own style when they write certain things. For example, The Guardian puts dates like '21 July 2011' (with the day first，followed by the month and no commas).However, the news agency Reuters writes them like this 'July 21，2011' (with the month first，and a comma(逗號)between the day and the year). Other newspapers have different ways of doing it too. So，as you can see, there's no one 'correct' way-there's a variety of ways and each one is acceptable.
Next time someone tells you that something is wrong, tell them that it isn't wrong, it is just English.
1. According to passage two, how many ways can you read or learn Standard English(no more than four words)
2. What is the plural form of the Latin word 'agendum' in the past?(no more than four words)
3. How does the news agency Reuters write '2016年1月20日'?( no more than four words)
4. According to passage one, what languages have official organizations that tell you what is correct?(no more than four words)
5. What should you do when you face the changes of English?
（三）肢體語言
Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to read others around us, even if they do not want us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are common.
The most common facial expression is, of course, the
smile-its function is to show happiness and put people at ease.
It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however.
Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings
like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as
when someone loses face and smiles to hide it. However,
the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.
From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning(皺眉頭).In most places around the world, frowning and turning one's back to someone shows anger. Making a fist(拳頭)and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry.
How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will，in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested.
Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank(等級).Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen.
With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!
1. What is even more powerful than spoken language according to the passage? (no more than four words)
2. What is the most common facial expression? (no more than four words)
3. How do babies normally show their anger? (no more than four words)
4. What is not good to do when you stay with someone of a higher rank? (no more than 13 words)
5. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? (no more than 14 words)
（四）從失敗走向成功
Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the failure(失敗).In fact, failure can become experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as 'perfect' even though it doesn't stand still. The other way is to blame(責(zé)怪)others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There's a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for the real life if they don't meet enough failure. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time. The young should be allowed to experience failure.
Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it.

（六）培養(yǎng)自力更生的學(xué)生
Two years ago, a small town in Changhua started to grow healthy rice. The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by the students from a small primary school of only about fifty people.
The idea of growing rice came from the school teachers. When making teaching plans, the teachers decided to teach students how to grow healthy rice on school land. They wanted the students to get closer to the land when doing the rice farming outside the classroom.
What's better, the school made money from selling the rice and giving farming classes to the public. With the money, the school could help the students who wished to go to foreign countries some day. Today the dream is becoming real—the students are flying to Japan to share their special farming experiences, and have fun over there, of course! 'We all feel very proud that even students from a small town can make themselves seen in the world, ' said one of the teachers.
