Later, in the United States and Canada, working people got together to set up unions. The union (工会)leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries ( I：资)，but many of the bosses—A—.On May 1st, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fighting with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1st to honor(尊敬)the workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May became a national holiday in many countries.However, in the United States and Canada, May 1st is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the United States, Labor Day is mostly about having fun.

For good luck, people clean their homes, and they buy themselves new clothes. And, of course, they buy lots of food to eat during the festival, including fish, meat, fruit, and candy.17 People put up red paper decorations on their front doors and windows.Several days before the festival, people who live far away from their families travel home to see their family members. 18 Families prepare special holiday foods together, such as dumplings or rice cakes. And the best part? Parents and grandparents give children red envelopes （信封）with money inside!19 They think breaking things might bring bad luck to them.

AFather's Day has a very short history.It was started because there was a Mother's Day，and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother's Day，we should also have a Father's Day.Father's Day has become important in North America.And shopkeepers(店主) found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers from their shops.By the way，very few countries have a Father's Day，though some have Children's Day，or a special day for boys and another for girls.More and more countries are having Mother's Day，so maybe Father's Day will also become popular.Now，what do people in North America do on Father's Day？The newspapers，radios，and TV tell children what they should do——buy a Father's Day present for your father.They even tell a wife to buy a Father's Day present——not for her father but for her husband，even if he is not a father yet.And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father's Day present for their grandfathers.The most important thing to remember about Father's Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.( )1.Father's Day was started just because ______.A．there was a Mother's DayB．there was a Children's DayC．people liked their fathers very much( )2.Which of the following is NOT true?A．Very few countries have a Father's Day.B．Americans never care about Father's Day.C．Father's Day has become important in North America.( )3.In America，people have a Father's Day to ______.A．go shopping with their fathersB．help their fathers do somethingC．show their love to their fathers( )4.On Father's Day，shopkeepers always want ______.A．people to buy as many as presentsB．children to buy presents only for their fathersC．women to buy presents only for their husbands( )5.It can be learned from the article that ______.A．the writer is against Father's DayB．many countries have a Father's DayC．shopkeepers can get more money on Father's Day than usual1.A 根据第一段第二句话可知A为正确答案。

I am writing this journal for one of my classes. My teacher says it is a good way for me to practice writing in English and to write about my experiences here in the United States. So far, I like New York and my school. I have three classes a day. Most of my classmates come from Japan, Korea, Spain, Germany, and Brazil.There aren’t many Vietnamese students, so I have to use English most of the time. I am learning a lot! I am living in student housing, and I have my own comfortable room.October 20My English is hopeless! I was on the bus this morning and a man spoke to me, but I hardly understood him. I was so embarased. Why is my English improving so sl owly? I want to make lots of American friends, but this isn’t happening so easily. I feel shy, and it is hard for me to talk to some peopl e, even my classmates! I like them, but sometimes I can’t understand them very well. I think I’m feeling homesick. I miss my friends and family.October 27I went to a school party last Friday and it was awesome. I talked with a Japanese man named Kenji, and an Italian woman named Carla.

I’m tired because I can’t improve my English skill. Who can help me? Please!26 March, 2021—11:47 JoHi Hu Bo,If you want to improve your English, you are in the right place. Don’t worry just startsl owly working through some of the pages in the sections that are most interesting and useful to you. The more English you read and listen to, the more you will learn.Best wishes, Jo （Learn English Teens Team）8 April, 2021—19:22 Forever-in-dreamThank you for these tips. They help me very much. But I’m taking an English exam （speaking）this Friday and I’m a bit scared about it. I can’t stop being nervous, so in this condition I always say something wrong with l ong pauses（停顿）. Can you suggest me anything to deal with it?9 April, 2021—10:14 JoHi Forever-in-dream,Thanks for your comment（评论）. OK, first thing to remember is that everyone gets nervous for speaking exams. It’s totally natural to feel nervous. Also, it’s normal to make some mistakes. The examiners will not expect you to do the exam perfectly and they will get a good idea about your level of English even if you make some mistakes. If you make a mistake and you realize right away, then go back and say it again. We all d o this sometimes even when we are speaking our native（本土的）language. Also it’s normal to pause and think when you’re speaking in your own language and in a foreign language, so try not to worry about that.So, take a d eep breath before you start the exam and remember that these feelings are natural. In fact feeling a bit nervous sometimes helps you to d o your best.Good luck! Jo（Learn English Teens Team）24．Which of the foll owing is TRUE according to the passage?A．If you want to improve English, you shoul d read and listen to more English.B．You cannot go back and say it again if you make a mistake in a speaking exam.C．You will get bad grades if you have a pause and think in your own language.D．Feeling a little nervous always helps you to d o your best during an exam.25．Which of the foll owing does Jo think is normal?A．Making mistakes. B．Listening to others.C．Having an exam. D．Speaking English.26．What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A．Jo comes from the United Kingdom.B．Jo, Hu Bo and Forever-in-dream are good friends.C．Hu Bo and Forever-in-dream are good at speaking English.D．Jo’s job is to help teens with English and answer their questions.27．Where might you see these messages?A．On TV. B．In a book. C．On a website. D．On a newspaper.When you l earn English, you'll find it not easy to translate a sentence, word by word, into Chinese. Take the sentence “Get cold feet.” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. If you want to get the right answer, you need read more information or ask your teacher for help. Finally, you can get it-“Feel afraid and stay where you are.”Languages don't just have different sounds and they are different in many ways. It's important to master the rul es for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in different orders, the listeners may understand the speakers' sentences in different ways. When the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. For example, “I have seen the film already” “I have already seen the film.”But sometimes the meaning of the sentence will change if the ord er of words in an English sentence is changed. For example, “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”English is a foreign language, which is spoken by peopl e all over the world. When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker d oes.28．When we translate an English sentence, what shoul d we d o?A．Look up each word in the dictionary and translate it word by word.B．Connect the meaning of every word with Chinese.C．Try to say anything in Chinese.D．Read more information or ask teachers for help.29．If the speakers put the order of words differently, the listeners ________.A．can master the rules for word ord er B．can't guess the changeC．may misunderstand the meaning D．may not und erstand the sounds 30．“She only likes apples.” is ________ “Only she likes apples.”A．different from B．the same as C．changed by D．spoken by 31．Which of the foll owing is TRUE according to the passage?A．“Get cold feet.” means “Feel afraid and run away.”B．It's easy to master the rules for word order in the study of English.C．If the order of words in English sentences is changed, the meaning of the sentence may change.D．When you learn English, you shouldn't get the spirit of the language.32．Where is the passage probably from?A．A travel magazine. B．A storybook.C．A language learning website. D．The CD player instructions.Language students often think they have memory probl ems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the probl em usually isn't with their memory. The probl em is with how they study.To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and l ong-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into l ong-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized. When you put away a book or memory you can't just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can d o this by writing new sentences that includ e it. Even better, you can invent a littl e story about the word, with peopl e or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tall est person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your l ong-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 33．In the writer's opinion, students can't remember words because ________.A．they have memory problems B．they are too worriedC．they don't use a proper way D．they d on't like to study34．Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage?A．Short-term memory is seld om used.B．What we see goes into l ong-term memory first.C．We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.D．We will never forget a word if it goes into l ong-term memory.35．The underlined（划线的）part in Paragraph 2 means l ong-tern memory ________. A．works like a well-organized libraryB．provides any book you wantC．leaves memory anywhereD．keeps many books like a large library36．This passage mainly tells us about ________.A．students' language probl ems in studyB．how to make the meaning of words strongerC．short-term and l ong-term memoryD．how to improve ways to remember wordsHomework is a probl em for students all over the world. As a student, you have a l ot of homework to do every day. It's a major part of a student's schooldays. It's the best way to review what you have l earned in class. And it helps you und erstand important concepts（概念）.Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less diffiicult.Be sure you understand the homeworkWrite your homework d own in your notebook if you need to. Don't be afraid to ask questions about it. It's much easier to ask the teacher during or after class than to try to remember later that night!Use your time at schoolMany schools have study halls. It is d esigned to all ow stud ents to study on their own. It's more interesting to play with your friends. But the more homework you finish at school, the less you’ll have to d o that night.Take a breakIt's difficult to hold your attention for too l ong. So take some breaks while doing your homework. Siting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most peopl e.Make a planIf you d on't finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 hour and 3 hours of home-work a night. If it's a heavy homework day, you'll need to spend more time on it. It's a good idea to make a homework timetabl e, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities. 37．The first paragraph is mainly about_____A．why homework is hard to d oB．why students should do homeworkC．how much homework students shoul d d oD．when students shoul d d o homework38．You shoul d d o the foll owing things EXCEPT____A．writing your homework d own in your notebookB．trying to finish your homework at schoolC．d oing homework without taking a breakD．making a plan for your homework39．The underlined word "budget"in the passage means"______".A．plan B．save C．waste D．kill40．The writer advises students to______if the homework is heavy.A．do l ess homework at nightB．do other activities firstC．take a break and do some choresD．make a homework timetabl e41．Which of the foll owing is the best title for the passage?A．Too much homework means too much pressureB．Students shoul d learn to relaxC．Ways to make homework easierD．Problems students meet when d oing homeworkHow l ong are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to l ose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds? Googl e engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds―as short as the blink of an eye―is too l ong for most Internet users.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. “Without question, n obody likes to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are continually gathering and sending out information. With so many peopl e d ownloading maps, sports vid eos, news andre staurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds sl ower than another website, then people will visit it l ess often. This is why technol ogy companies are now competing to be the fastest. Googl e said people d o expect different things from different websites because they realize not all l oading times are the same. For exampl e, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result.Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too l ong to l oad. This makes it difficult for vid eo websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast l oadingtimes.Trying to get a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet. In the 1990s, when the Worl d Wid e Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded andsl ow; people call ed it the “Worl d Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables (光缆)for sending in high speed; they improved software so it woul d work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Famous search engines such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than asecond.____________________________________________________42．The report from The New York Times suggests thatA．A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.B．400 milliseconds is not so l ong for most Internet users.C．A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.D．A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.43．The engineers did something to improve the speed, including _____.a. making software work more smoothlyb. laying a number of fiber optic cabl es insidec. placing computer servers throughout the worl dd. developing the quality of pictures on the InternetA．a b c B．b c d C．a c d D．a b d44．Which of the foll owing is true according to the passage?A．The quality of pictures comes first for video websites.B．Google is 250 milliseconds sl ower than other websitesC．Microsoft’s Bing is the fastest engine the world nowD．Peopl e are more likely to wait for l oading films than maps45．What d oes the underlined sentence mean?A．Internet users are willing to see more search engines set upB．Google and Microsoft’s Bing should help find the searching resultsC．These companies shoul d mind their steps, or they will break d own soon.D．These companies need to catch up with the devel oping needs of Internet users 46．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Don’t make me “www.wait”.B．Search engines work faster.C．Traffic jams keep us waiting.D．The WWW becomes popular.Green is an important col or in nature. It is also the col or of most growing plants. Sometimes the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes it describes something that is not yet ripe (成熟的) or finished. For exampl e, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation, in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet devel oped. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a sol dier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability-to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb .The expression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her gard en continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the col or used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not. 47．From the first paragraph, we can conclud e(得出结论) that ________.A．a greenhorn refers to (指的是) a horn of a young cow or oxB．a word has different meanings in the same century.C．the language devel ops with time going byD．a greenhorn means a soldier who hasn’t had any experience in battl e today 48．If a person has a green thumb, he or she probably ________.A．suffers from an illness in the thumb B．does well in growing plants C．has a thumb in green color D．has wond erful magic and energy 49．If Jane has a beautiful dress that Mary likes very much, ________A．Jane may suffer from the green-eyed monsterB．Mary is probably a girl with a green thumbC．Jane is probably call ed a greenhorn.D．Mary may suffer from the green-eyed monster50．Which of the foll owing statements is NOT true according to the passage?

Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, but I went in. As I was running towards his bed, I saw a burning wood falling down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked to be unconscious(无知觉的), but luckily, a fireman came in and saved both of us." She touched the burned side of her face. "This scar will be forever, but until today, I have never regretted doing what I did."When the little boy heard this, he couldn't help running towards his mother with tears in his eyes.

Put them together, and they spell “mother”.Our mothers are our truest friends. We turn to them when difficult times fall upon us. We celebrate with them when we are happy. And when other friends desert us, they are still there，returning peace to our hearts.Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday in May. It is a public expression of our love and respect for all the mothers of this world.The festival dates back to the ancient Greeks who worshipped (崇拜）Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. Since the 17th century, England has celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday”. And it was an American, Anna Jarvis, who wrote letters to many officials，and made Mother’s Day a national holiday in the US in 1914.Jarvis’ mother died in May, 1905. She missed her mother and felt that all children should appreciate their mothers while they were still alive.
