Are you itching (痒痒)? Do you have mosquito bites (蚊虫叮咬)? Well, if you lived in Texas, US, you
wouldn"t have a problem. People found a very big spider"s web (蜘蛛网) in the state park there. The web is
as long as two football fields. It covers trees, shrubs (灌木丛) and has caught millions of mosquitoes.
"At first it was so white it looked like fairyland (童话世界)," said Donna Garde, who works in the
park.
"Now it"s filled with so many mosquitoes that it"s turned a little brown. Sometimes you can hear
the screech (尖叫声) of millions of mosquitoes caught in the web."
Scientists are trying to find out what kind of spider has spun the web and why it"s so big. Some
think a group of spiders work together on the web.
Whatever it is, the web is surely better than bug spray (***虫剂).

When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What"s the best
way to know it?
You may look it up in the English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the
pronunciation, the Chinese meaning and how to use the word. But how can you know where the word
is thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?
First, all the English words are arranged (安排) in the letter order. In the dictionary you can first see
the words beginning with letter A, then B, C, D…. That means, if there are two words "desert" and "pull",
"desert" will be certainly before "pull". Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter,
you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth… For example, "pardon" is before"plough",
"judge" before "just", etc.
Do you understand how to look up in the dictionary?
The dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you"ll use it as often as possible in your English study. |

New rules and behavior standards for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is
going to use a new way to decide who the top kids are. The best students won"t have high marks. They
will also be kids who do not dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. Here are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else"s work on an exam? Don"t do it again! That is not
something an honest student should do. If you"ve played computer games for two hours in your room,
do not tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students always love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving
month in China. Are your schoolmates doing anything to celebrate? Join in it! In this way, you can learn
more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun
for everyone. Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basket-ball team lost? Only
working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people around you. Try to think of
others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you"ll
discover another Earth some day. Do not look down on new ideas. Everyone"s ideas are important.
You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don"t let it happen
to you. If you have to go home late, you should take care of yourself and let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on
the Internet aren"t for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web
for fun or homework. Can"t you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some: http:// kids.

How can you think in English? I think the best way is to practice as what a football player does every
day. During the practice, the football players pass the ball to his teammates over and over again, So they
won"t have to think about passing the ball in the game, they will just do it. You can train yourself to think
in English in this way. The first (1) _____ is to think _____ the words that you use daily, simple everyday
words like book, shoe or tree. For example, whenever you see a"book", you should think of it in English
instead of in your mother language. (2) After you have learned to think of words in English, you"d better
go on to the next step--thinking of sentences in English.
(3) 听是学英语的一个非常有用的方法。 Listen first and don"t care too much about whether you
fully understand what you"re hearing. Try to say what you hear as much as possible. The more you listen,
the better you learn. After you reach a higher level, start having conversations with yourself in English.
This will lead you to think in English.

The ostrich (鸵鸟) is the largest bird in the world. From far away, it looks more like a camel than a
bird. It has a long neck, long legs and a walk like a camel. Its eyes are very large and sharp. Like the
camel, the ostrich can go for a long time without water. It lives in sandy desert, too.
Its wings are too short for flying, but they do help the ostrich to run fast. The wind gets under the
wings and lifts the bird off the ground. In this way, it can take very long steps. An ostrich can run faster
than a horse.
Ostriches are big and strong, but sometimes they do not seem very smart. When they are afraid, they
run around in circles.
Ostrich eggs are large. The shells are very strong. They are so strong that they can be used for cups
and bowls. |
