【题目】 I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Mashwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Mashwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Mashwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Mashwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.

【题目】 Watching American TV and movies is a surprisingly free way to learn English. You learn modern culture, commonly used slang(俚语), improve listening, and most of all, it’s super fun.
The language used in popular TV shows and movies actually represents real life. Sometimes native(母语的)speakers even use new phrases they learn from movies. The slang today is much different from the slang used by even my parents. Real spoken English changes quite quickly and it’s important to know what’s cool now and what sounds old and stupid.
Most people studying English by watching TV and movies make one or two MISTAKES however.
1.Watching with subtitles(译文对白字幕)
This is a huge mistake because you learn a lot less than you think. Your eyes naturally go to the subtitles and often the translations aren’t great. It’s impossible to translate slang and jokes anyway. Another thing is that your brain is busy reading your own language. This really slows down the learning.
2.Watching stuff(素材资料)
Turning the subtitles off isn’t enough if you don’t understand 100% of the movie or TV show. It’s not enough to get the “general idea”. I’ve watched so many movies and TV shows with people who aren’t from English-speaking countries, and they always miss the real funny parts, because movies and TV shows are designed for English-speaking people. They don’t need anything explained to them but you do. If you are learning English you need to have these slang expressions and jokes explained to you. Then you will totally “get” everything and your English level will improve like crazy.
No matter what your level is, I’m sure you’ll learn something from this. Check it out.
【1】What’s super fun according to this passage?
A.Learning about modern culture.B.Learning to use common slang.
C.Improving listening.D.Watching American TV and movies.
【2】________represent the changes of real spoken English.
A.Popular TV shows and moviesB.Slang from popular TV shows and movies
C.Native speakersD.Slang used by my parents
【3】Why is it a huge mistake for English learners to watch TV or movies with subtitles?
Because ________.
A.the translation isn’t rightB.it slows down your reading
C.no slang or jokes can be translatedD.you learn much less than you think
【4】Which of the following is NOT right?
A.We should turn off the subtitles when watching TV shows and movies in English.
B.The stuff can help us understand the movies and TV shows totally.
C.We should get the general idea by watching the subtitles.
D.Because we are not English speakers, we need something explained to us.
【5】We will miss the real funny parts of the TV shows and movies if we ________.
A.don’t understand the English slang or the jokesB.watch the stuff about the shows and movies
C.improve our English like crazyD.have these slang expressions and jokes explained to us

【题目】 No one wants to overspend on their supermarket shopping but to save money every week. Preparations start before you even go into the store. Here is how to make sure you are always getting your shopping for the best price.
●Create your list.
Write a full list which includes two parts, something necessary for a living and something for fun. With a strict list you won’t easily change your mind to buy more than you need.
●Check the cupboards.
One of the easiest ways to overspend is buying what you don’t need. Before leaving, take time to check what products you have in the house, especially in the cupboards. Buy what you badly need and it will help you save money before you step into the supermarkets.
●Know your budget(预算)
Keep in mind how much you plan to spend. It is possible to get your shopping for less, but you need to wisely pay attention to the products and brands you buy to support savings.
●Compare prices
You should make a comparison between the prices offered by different supermarkets. So if you try to buy your shopping for less, compare the prices in different shops, which makes sure that you are always visiting the cheapest supermarket for your shop.
●Choose the best time for shopping
If you know your supermarket well, there will certainly be a preferred time to shop. This could be at the quietest time to make sure you get peace while working out the total cost of your shopping.
