English is an excellent language to learn. It is important for study, business and travel. Read the information below and learn more about listening and reading skills.
Listen to English radio.
One of the best ways to improve your English listening is to listen to English radio on your mobile phone.
•You should listen to the radio shows for more than 30 minutes every day.
•Try to understand what is said. Don’t just let the English wash over you. If you find the listening too fast, try to pick out the key words to get a general idea of it.
•You can also make a note of any words or phrases(短语) that you don’t understand. Look them up in the dictionary later. Then listen to the show again.
Watch English movies and TV shows.
Another fun way to improve your listening is to watch English movies and TV shows.
•Try to choose movies or TV shows that you will enjoy. This will make the listening more interesting. When you like the movie or TV show, you may forget your task is to practice listening. You just enjoy it.
•However, you should not watch movies or TV shows with Chinese translations(翻译) on the screen. It will be difficult for you to focus on English.
Read an Engli
sh book, newspaper or magazine(杂志).
Reading is an important part of learning a language, so don’t forget to practice!
•Choose a book that you are really interested in. It can be an English novel or a magazine. Then start working your way through it. If you find it boring, it’s difficult for you to finish reading it.
•Again, try to understand what you’re reading. Pick out any words or phras
es that you don’t understand. Then look them up in the dictionary.
Learning any language requires hard work and skills, so find good methods and work hard.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room． In one hand was a plastic phone, in the other a toy broom． I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was pretend(假装)．
She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good． She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should．" In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink． It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think．
My daughter continued her "conversation," as I sat down on the floor． She said, "I'm all fed up, I just don't know what to do with her anymore． She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too． She never lets me do the things that I just have to do．
She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels． I don't have the energy to teach． I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean． I don't have the time to sit and play． Don't you know what I mean?"
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent(天真的) words that cut me like a knife． I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear．
But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes． So, let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor, I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore ．
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood, and we will never get another．
1.What was the little girl doing with her doll?
A．She was dressing up her doll．
B．She was playing the doll with her friend Suzie．
C．She was talking to her mother．
D．She was punishing her doll．
2.How did mother feel when she heard the “conversation”?
A．Worried．
B．Regretful．
C．Disappointed．
D．Sad．
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A．The mother shouldn’t blame her daughter．
B．The mother should spend enough time with her daughter．
C．The mother shouldn’t carry responsibilities that many．
D．The mother should pay attention to her daughter’s words．

Minoru Yamasaki was a famous American architect (建筑师). He was born in 1912 in Seattle, Washington. Minoru went to college to study architecture. Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college. He slept in a room with 100 other men.
Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw.
