Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because
plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and men can"t make food from air, water
and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore, animals and men
need plants in order to live. This is the reason why we find so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some
plants are large while others are small. Most plants are green.
Some plants have many small leaves. Others have only a few. There are many kinds of leaves.
Leaves are of different shapes and colors.
Leaves are also different in other ways. Some leaves have long thin parts at the end, we call them
leaf stalks, some have short leaf stalks, others even have no leaf stalks. The leaf edges (边缘) are also
different. Some leaves have smooth (平滑) edges. Some have wave-shaped edges. Others have edges

I"ve been working in a school for more than twenty years. Many parents often ask me, "How can you
teach your child good study skills? How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible?"
Here are some tips:
1. If the child is as young as nine or ten, ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down
the homework given by his or her teachers. By developing this habit, he or she will learn to be much
more responsible (负责的).
2. Find a good place to study. This should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study
things. No games, radios, or televisions. Once you have decided on a place to study, this should be the
only place where your child does his or her homework and studies. There should also be a very specific
time for homework to be done. Usually, homework should be done as soon as the child gets home from
school. This also goes for the kids who take part in after-school activities. Of course, it is a good idea to
allow the child to have a healthy snack before the work begins.
3. Also remember that it is the child"s duty to do his or her homework. Some children give up easily
and go to Mom and Dad for help when they have a problem. Try to let them solve it first. By doing this,
they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems. In this way we help them to help themselves.
1. Asking the kids to keep a notebook to remember their homework will make them _____.
A. remember more
B. learn more
C. more responsible
D. more interested in studying
2. The place where the children study must _____ .
A. be free for everything
B. have a TV set and a computer
C. be quiet, bright and free from things for entertainment
D. be big, clean and tidy

A. Forgetting.
B. Leaving.
C. Realizing.
D. Beating.
4. According to the passage, the children should _____ when they have trouble with their homework.
A. ask their parents for help
B. try to solve the problems by themselves
C. wait for their teachers" help
D. put it away and have a snack

A lot of people keep asking, "How do I improve my English?" There are many possible answers, but
here are just a few pieces of advice.
1. _______________________________________________
Sure you have teachers, reading materials, and websites to help you with your English, but who is
really responsible for making sure that you learn English well? Nobody but you.
2. ______________________________________________
If you are interested in English, remember that it is all around you. You can do many things that will
help you learn English. Find things to do where you need to use English.
Listen to the radio in English. Watch TV and movies in English. You can also speak in English with
your friends. Get a language partner and speak in English as much as possible. Finding friends whose
native language is English is even better.
Other ideas: Take an English class, join an English group, find a tutor, and read English magazines.
Do whatever you can to keep using the language.
3. ________________________________________________
This means that you should pay attention to how you use English. Think (a little) about how you are
going to say something before it comes out of your mouth. But don"t think about all of the problems you
have in English at the same time. Just choose something that you know you are having difficulty with and
work on using it correctly. 4. _______________________________________________
