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.

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

them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to
know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory (记忆力),
he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his
memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend
says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor
memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame (受责备), and few of us know that it is just his
own fault. Have you ever found that some people can"t read or write, but usually they have better
memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they can write
down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is
the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.

When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend for new clothes. Then look
for those clothes on sale (销售).
There are labels (标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The
label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing
in cold water. The label on a coat may say "dry clean only." Washing may ruin (损坏) this coat. If you do
as the directions (说明) say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today
must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check (核实) to see if they
will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.
You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look
good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better
made. They do not always fit (合身) better. Sometime less expensive clothes look and fit better than more

When an automatic washing machine 2 , water goes in. The machine waits until the water is hot 3
washing the clothes. It does this by "feedback" (反馈). Information about what"s 4 is "fed back" into
the robot to tell it 5 next.
Our eyes, ears and other senses (感官) are 6 feedback. They tell us 7 round us. So robots are
like people in 8 ways. They work and they have feedback.
But 9 robots look like people. Many are 10 ways. Robots control (控制) the temperature of our
houses, our cookers, our hot water systems. We can 11 the controls to the temperature we want. The
robot does 12 . Its feedback usually come 13 thermostat (自动调温器).
Our kind of thermostat is a strip of metal (金属条), which bends (弯曲) when it gets hot. At the right
temperature, it bends just enough 14 a switch. This turns off the heat. As the air around it gets 15 ,
the metal gets straight, and this turns the heat on again.
