As we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English well, but some people don't know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your English.

The Garbage (垃圾) Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.
To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场) , the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.
One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.
How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.
Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly（直接地）in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.
Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.
Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.
41. The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in _______________.
A. 1973
B. 1970
C. 1948
D. 1940
42. To study the modern garbage, the students had to do many things except ____________.
A. Wearing special clothes
B. traveling to landfills
C. burying the garbage themselves
D. opening bags of garbage
43. The underlined words "dispose of" in Paragraph 4 means ___________.
A. crash into
B. deal with
C. worry about
D. put up
44.From the article, we know old motor oil ____________.
A. should go to regular landfills
B. isn't harmful garbage
C. mustn't be poured on the ground
D. never pollutes the environment
45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes.
B. Scientists thought about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly.
C. The students found empty bottles of cola were not as many as they expected.
D. Batteries often break open when they are buried directly in a landfill.

Somerset Maugham, a famous English writer, says, to acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life. Here are several ways to develop a lifetime reading habit.
Set times. You should have a few set times every day when you'll read for at least 5-10 minutes, no matter what happens. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch(and even dinner if you eat alone).
Always carry a book. No matter where you go, take a book with you. When leaving the house, make sure to have at least one book. You may keep the book in the car, or take it into the office or to anywhere you go, unless you're sure you won't have time to read. If there is a time when you have to wait, like at a doctor's office, take out your book and read.
Make a list. Keep a list of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in a pocket notebook. Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book. Keep a running list, and cross out the ones you have read.
Find a quiet place. Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair with a good book. There should be no television or computer near the chair to distract you. There should be no music or noisy family members.
Set a high aim. Tell yourself that you want to read 50 books this year or some other number like that. You set about finishing reading them. Just be sure you' re still enjoying the reading.

It's important to be confident
Self-confidence can bring us courage to stick to what we do. So it's valuable to us.
When I was in Grade 7, once my English teacher asked me to make a speech in class. Although I practiced it for many times at home, I still felt nervous and forgot the words at the beginning. Then I breathed deeply, relaxed myself and went on with my speech. My teacher and classmates thought highly of my speech. From then on, I have become more confident.
To build confidence, firstly we need to clearly know about our own advantages and try to develop them. Above all, we should put in enough effort to what we do. We will surely make it and gain more confidence.
