　　The class in America is almost the same as that in China．But something is different．

　　1．In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don’t understand, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat it．If you don’t know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know．Then he or she knows what you need to learn．

　　2．You mustn’t be absent on a test day．If you’re seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test．If your teacher allows make-up test, you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school．

　　3．Be on time!It is impossible to be late．If you come in late, be sure to do it quietly．Take your books out of your bag after you enter the room．Then go to your seat and sit down quietly．In the US, you needn’t knock before you come into the classroom．

　　4．If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly, too．There is no need to ask for the teacher’s agreement(同意)．

　　Yang Liwei circled the earth 14 times in 21 hours on October 15 and 16, 2003, landing on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia．Looking a little tired, Yang stepped out of Shenzhou V, smiling and waving at the waiting people “I feel very good” Yang said to premier Wen Jiabao on the phone．Yang said to a newspaper, “To our motherland and me, this is a great moment．”

　　China’s launch of Shenzhou V shows a higher starting point．It has two special systems(系统)to protect the spaceman, but neither Russian rockets(火箭)nor American ones have．

　　Yang didn’t know that he was chosen as China’s first spaceman until just before the launch．Although Yang was excited at the news, he still slept at 8p.m.as usual and was woken up at 2 a.m.the next morning．Before the launch, Yang ate Chinese traditional food－dumplings．We all know that travelers usually eat them before going on a journey for good luck．

　　A stamp Success of China’s First Manned Space Flight was issued(发行)on October 16,2003, making China the third country to send a spaceman into outer space．

　　A passenger(乘客)watched a man coming toward him with two big heavy bags．As the man came near, the passenger asked if he had the time．

　　“Certainly”, the man answered, then he pushed a button on his watch and a voice rang out, “ Eight fifteen ”．Then he pushed another button on his watch, and a tiny TV screen appeared(出现)with morning news．Another button produced music．

　　“I’ll have the watch”, said the passenger, “I’ll give you 500 dollars for it．” The man agreed and handed over the watch．Just then a voice came from the speaker on the wall．“The train for London is arriving．Please go through Gate 4．” As the passenger started to leave, the man called after him, “Don’t you want extra batteries(额外电池)？”

　　“Sure．Where are they?”

　　“In the bags．I’m going to London, too．”

　　New York City isn’t the biggest city in the world, but it is the biggest city in the United States．Most Americans live in much smaller cities and towns, but almost 8 million people live in New York City．Why did so many people come to live in one place?

　　The Untied States became an independent(独立的)country in 1783 ,and New York was its capital for a short time．The city became so crowded that some people moved out to other areas(places)．But more people from everywhere went on coming into the city every day．

The best way of learning a language is using it．The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible．Sometimes you’ll get your words mixed up and people will not understand you．Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them．But if you keep your sense of humor(幽默)，you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make．Don’t be unhappy if people laugh at your mistakes．The most important thing for learning English is．“ Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes．”

　　Students learn their lessons in class．In class teachers teach them．Students sit in the classroom listening to the teacher．This is a way of learning．Is this the only way for students to learn something?Of course not．There is another way to learn．That is students can teach themselves．For example, if you cannot remember something when you are doing homework, you can look at your book to find the answer．This is a way to teach yourself．And it is not a difficult thing．We can do this at any place and at any time．

　　How do you teach yourself?The first you must do is reading．Read something you are interested in, or you have to read．The second is that you must ask yourself questions．The question is something you don’t understand, or you want to know more about．

　　You can write down these questions．A clever student is usually good at asking questions．The third is to answer the question by yourself by thinking hard, by reading the text or other books, and sometimes by asking other people．This is the way of teaching yourself．And you must do this all by yourself．If you keep doing like this for a long time, you are sure to succeed in your study．
