It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the task impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 1. Here are some tips to help.

2. We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate hearing memory, which helps the memory. 3. The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.

Never memorize single English words. 4. Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym（同義詞） or antonym（反義詞）. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", "huge" and "large". Make a order of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".

Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole".

Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. 5. Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.

A. So take action right now.

B. Speak the word while memorizing it.

C. Memorizing new words is very important.

D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.

E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.

F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.

G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

The other day after work, I was walking down the street while I saw a boy riding a nice bicycle, one of those bicycle with only one wheel. Dressing in all pink from head to toe, he was singing a song which was sounded like a kid’s song. I thought he must be total crazy. Just then, a lady dropped 20-dollar bill on the ground, but he didn’t realize it and started to walk away. The guy in pink picked out the money and gave it back to her. After that, he rode on but soon disappeared before the lady could thank him. How a strange and good guy!

I was going to Paris, which I’d always wanted to see. But now I was frightened to travel alone. I arrived at the train station in Paris. I hadn’t spoken my college French for twenty years. On my first metro ride, I came across an incompetent（不勝任的） thief. I just stared at him, and he stopped his hand from my purse and disappeared into the crowd. Somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly weren’t easy to find. When I finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily, and I was sweating like a basketball player. I couldn’t stay. Could I? The wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire. The bathroom was downstairs, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building. Welcome to Paris. I sincerely wanted to die. I missed my friends. I was entering my third week away from home and my kids, and I had arrived in the most romantic city in the world, alone, lonely and frightened.

The most important thing I did in Paris happened at that moment. I knew that if I didn’t go out, right then, and find a place to have dinner, I would hide in this small room my entire time in Paris. I might never learn to enjoy the world as a single individual. So I went out. Evening in Paris was light and pleasant. I walked along a path, listening to birds sing, watching children float toy boats in a huge fountain. No one seemed to be in a hurry. Paris was beautiful. And I was here alone and suddenly not lonely. My sense of accomplishment overcoming my fear and weakness had left me feeling free. I wore out two pairs of shoes during my week’s stay in Paris. I did everything there was to do, and it was the greatest week of my European vacation. I returned home, becoming a believer in the power of traveling alone. Now when I meet difficulties I just say to myself, “If I can go to Paris, I can go anywhere.”

1.What happened on my first metro ride?

A. I came across a skillful thief.

B. I bravely caught a thief trying to steal.

C. The thief successfully stole my purse.

D. I scared away a thief trying to steal.

How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?

Mothers who feel their children don't appreciate them can add another grievance to the list: half the time, their children are lying to them．A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations．Still, mums should feel better than total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77% of the time．

Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked 77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whether they lied at any time．DePaulo named lying broadly, as "when you intentionally try to mislead someone", so she would catch the smallest of lies.

The students told an average of two lies a day．They said they had been studying when they had been out drinking．One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would send him extra money．Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were pretty．"They are everyday lies," says DePaulo．

DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to. College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time．In close relationships, people were more likely to tell "kind-hearted" lies, designed to protect feelings, rather than self-serving lies．

Students lied to romantic partners about a third of the time．DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance．

Mothers can take heart from one other finding．They may have been lied to, but at least their children talked to them．The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little interaction with them．

1.What is the meaning of the underlined word "grievance" in Paragraph 1?

A. complaintB. opinionC. beliefD. difficulty

2.According to the passage, college students felt closest to ________．

A. motherB. acquaintances

C. best friendsD. romantic partners

3.Female students lied to their roommates to ________.

A. make them happyB. offer them the services

C. gain more securityD. get money from them

4.What is the purpose of this article?

A. To explain a theory.B. To argue an idea.

C. To tell a story.D. To present a fact.

A Chinese actor's divorce from his wife has social media buzzing, with posts about the subject gaining over five billion views. WangBaoqiang announced online on Sunday that he was divorcing his wife, Ma Rong. He alleged that his marriage broke down after his wife had an affair with his agent, and that she had also transferred the couple's joint assets. The topic has sparked a debate about relationships and divorce, and it seems Wang's predicament（窘境） has struck a chord with（引起共鳴） many — which could explain the number of views, which are high even by Chinese standards.

What exactly are they saying?

Chinese netizens seem to have rallied（團結(jié)）around Wang, with topics like #WangDon’tCry# #WangWeSupportYou#, quickly trending after news of the divorce spread. Statistics by Weibo showed that 87% of netizens' posts condemned Ma for her affair, saying it had shattered her family. Some have even published her home address online. “Wang is a hardworking man from a rural area. She cheated an honest man. I hate these kinds of people,”said one commenter on weibo.

But why are they so interested?

No other celebrity divorce or marriage has ever caused such a big stir on Chinese social media. On the surface, this might seem like just another Chinese celebrity split. But what is it about this one that's got all of China ruffled up? Some people feel that this divorce seems to fit a certain trope — of a beautiful but ordinary girl marrying a rich but less good-looking man. It is not uncommon to hear the belief that a couple has to "match" at every level — be it in status, or physical appearance — for a relationship to work out. "The concept of being evenly matched is still one that is widely believed in China," Dr Mu Zheng, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology at the National University of Singapore told the BBC's Yvette Tan.

It's also making people talk about divorce.

A lot of social media discussion has also centred around divorce, and in particular how people can protect themselves. Wang has alleged that his wife transferred and hid some of the couple's assets. They're a wealthy couple — their assets, according to Chinese media, include nine flats, a BMW car and various luxury goods. As a result, people are debating the importance of protecting individual assets, even after marriage. Attitudes towards divorce are fast changing in China, and divorce rates are on the rise. State newspaper Global Times says a total of 3.84 million couples in China divorced in 2015, an increase of 5.6% from 2014.“People are getting much more open to the idea of divorce now, especially as Chinese people become more educated and open-minded towards both marriage and divorce,” says Dr Mu.

1.Which statement is not true?

A. “Match” opinion about marriage is still widely believed in China.

B. Most Chinese netizens show great sympathy for Wang.

C. People are getting more open to divorce just because of the increasing level of education.

D. Wang’s divorce leads to social effects to some degree.

2.What’s the reaction of the public to Wang’s divorce?

A. Most people dare not comment on it.

B. Most netizens choose to ignore it.

C. Most netizens are condemning Wang’s wife.

D. Most people show little concern about it.

3.Which section can you find this news in a newspaper?

A. SocietyB. ScienceC. CultureD. Economy

4.What may be the best title for this news?

A. Why a Chinese celebrity divorce has social media buzzing

B. Why WangBaoqiang divorces his wife

C. Chinese people’s attitude towards divorce has changed greatly

D. Chinese divorce rates are on the rise

After Steve Jobs died，his friend Larry Ellison said something like this, “There will never be another Steve Jobs”. 1._ Larry wrote this list of Steve's life lessons to remind us all.

1. Love what you do. Sure Steve became a billionaire when he brought Apple back. Apple was his calling even after he got fired from the company. We all have bad jobs at one point in our lives. But the question is: am I in the right job? Have I found the right company? Life doesn’t go on forever. 2._

2. Don't do it all by yourself.

Steve learned a great leader can't do it all by himself. He needs people. They must be talented. 3._ They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail. In short，we have to learn to be a great leader if we want to see our great ideas and hard work truly have an influence on the world.

3. 4._

Apple is always good at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users. It’s empathy（共鳴） that helps Apple achieve this. Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product，he says "Wow，it's just what I need". Remember, you're King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.

4. Don't mess around with your health.

5._ That's the most important lesson from Steve's life. It's great to learn from him but，the fact is he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly. Instead, Steve chose a naturopathic(自然療法) solution that wasn't effective. When he finally decided to take his doctor's original advice，it was too late.

A. Get on our right path now.

B. What are the key things that we could learn from him?

C. Will this lead to a successful career?

D. They must be inspired.

E. Take your health seriously.

F. Put yourself in the other person's shoes.
