There are many acceptable varieties of English throughout the world. Whichever variety is used in your country, the most important thing is that students" pronunciation must be good enough for another person to understand what they are trying to say. In a PPP lesson, teachers naturally include a good model of the pronunciation when they are presenting new vocabulary, grammar or functional language. It is important to start by helping your students recognize sounds before you expect them to produce them. Spoken British English has 44 sounds, but there are only 26 letters in the alphabet for written English. This sometimes makes English pronunciation and spelling different, so it is not always best to write words on the blackboard at the early stages. Also, some sounds in English do not exist in some other languages. This can make it very difficult for students to recognize these sounds and even more difficult for them to pronounce them correctly. So some students need to do a lot of work on these sounds, listening to them, trying to recognize them and trying to copy them. If you can understand and pronounce the symbols of the phonetic alphabet, this will help you to pronounce any word in the dictionary. You can teach this phonetic alphabet to your students and this will make teaching pronunciation much easier. However, you can teach pronunciation effectively without knowing the phonetic alphabet. Pronouncing English well is not just about getting the individual sounds right. Students need to know: * which parts of a word are stressed (spoken louder and longer); * which parts of a sentence are stressed; * basic intonation patterns; * what it means when we change the intonation in a sentence (the music of the language); * how to link together the sounds within a sentence. Students need practice in all these areas to improve their pronunciation. |

Sometime early in the next century,human beings will move to Mars.They will live there for about a year,and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers.Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth. We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects:general size,presence of water,length of day,range of temperatures.These resemblances have caused many ?people? to consider a centuries?long project:to terraform Mars.Terraforming means altering a planet"s surface so that Earth"s life forms can survive there.This concept,previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists. Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple:add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere;pump water to the surface;and add the earth"s plants and animals in the order in which they developed on Earth.But it will take at least 300 years. Some people think that such a project is too huge for ?humans? to undertake,but there are very good reasons to make the attempt.The earth now contains some 6 billion ?people?,and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support.Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species.We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet:altering the landscape,the atmosphere and the climate.Currently terraforming earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming,air and water pollution,and preserve some natural living places. While the possibility of such a project is small,it is not impossible.Even if earth bound societies come and go in the next 300 years,the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from the earth. The future existence of all the people in our world may very well depend upon our ability to terraform Mars. |

When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate? Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear. Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with his emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today"s work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people. The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotiona l intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills. |

In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are talking or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow. |
1. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors? |
A. Yellow, green. B. Blue, violet. C. Black, blue. D. Brown, white. |
2. Which of the following statements is not true? |
A. Sociable people like warm colors. B. Warm colors can make people excited. C. People who like to be with others don"t like red. D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active. |
3. Which is the right color for different rooms? |
A. Red or orange for offices. B. Orange for dining-rooms. C. Blue for bedrooms. D. Red for studies. |
4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? |
A. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool. B. Warm colors remind people of warm days. C. Cool colors remind people of cool days. D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors. |

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish, which is called "salmon". This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobster get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don"t. Maybe living things just like travel. |
1. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _____. |
A. find food more easily B. enjoy warmer weather C. give birth D. find beautiful places |
2. The mice in northern Europe move when _____. |
A. they need fresh water B. the weather is bad C. the place gets too crowded D. they haven"t enough food |
