　　[1]Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method．Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?

　　[2]The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious．Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country．You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go．Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people．In Italy, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower．

　　[3]On the other hand, ________ staying at home to study．You don't have to make big changes to your life．As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK．If you have a good teacher in Italy, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school．

　　[4]So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK．This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only(可行的)viable option．The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities：to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class．

　　[1]One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country．

　　[2]Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country．They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening．

　　[3]There are many different types of beer available in pubs．Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature．As a result, the British are famous for their‘warm beer’!If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager．This beer is a light yellow in color whereas bitter is usually a darker brown．All beers are served as pints(500ml)or haves(250ml)．To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer．So, you could say“________”．

　　[4]Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka．

　　[5]It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol．Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks．You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others．

　　[6]If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your‘round’．This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group．Not buying your round is a big social mistake!Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar．

　　[7]So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and,“cheers!”

　　As the college entrance exam draws near, many Senior 3 students begin to feel worried．________．Your score won't have the final say in your future career, according to a recent survey．

　　China's first report that is about lives of the top students getting the highest score on past national college entrance exams came out last Monday．It finds that not all of them have become winners in college and career．

　　“Most of the successful career men weren't the best of their classes,”said the report．“However, the most important thing is that they should have creativity and the courage for exploration．”

　　The National College Entrance Exam was first held in 1977．Thirty years later, the report is expected to help Senior 3 students to decide on their university choices rationally(理性地)．A group of experts spent eight months covering every part of China except Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and researching into the lives of the top students．

　　They found that among all the 560 top scorers from 1999－2006, girls are leading boys with a narrow majority, accounting for about 50.27 percent．They have a bigger majority in the number of art majors, at 63 percent．But among those science majors, boys take the lead with 64.78 percent．

　　However, experts are worried by the fact that the majors the top scorers chose are very limited．Four out of five top students went to popular majors, like economic management and computer science．But other majors closely related to social development, like medicine and astronomy, failed to attract any of the very best．

　　“Most of the students' choices were based on a desire for fame and wealth, instead of their interest in the subject．That would slim their chances for career success, as well as undermine(破坏)the hopes of our country,”said Cai Yanhou, a professor with Central South University．
