| When you leave school, you_can_breathe_a_sigh_of_relief_and_leave_learning_behind, right? Wrong! Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong, and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.  An English idiom says, "You can"t teach an old dog new tricks." But scientists have discovered that isn"t true. Older people can learn, and they should, in order to keep their brain active. Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning. Adults can attend One Day University. They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70－minute lectures. Each one is given by a top university professor. One of the original participants said, "It"s like a health club for the brain." Also, universities like MIT have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free! Libraries offer learning programs too. With so much available, there is no excuse not to learn!  Learning is a habit.Don"t leave it behind after you leave school. On the website lifehack.org, author Scott Young mentions several things to help you. Always have a book. It doesn"t matter if you read fast or slow. Just read.If you read just one book a week, you"ll read 52 over the course of a year. Think of the knowledge you"ll gain! Practice it. As you read, do something with what you"ve learned. Don"t just enjoy the mental exercise. Use the knowledge. If you read about painting, try it! Make a "to learn" list. Compose a "to learn" list for yourself. Maybe you want to speak better English, play the piano, or cook French food. Whatever interests you, put it on your list and then make the time to do it. Teach others. Whatever you learn, teach someone else. You"ll not only help others but also understand what you"ve learned. |

| Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child. There are many things that a parent can do  . One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong. One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child"s leg. He never did that again. One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing. Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion(宗教)tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave. Other things sh  ould be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child"s level and taking a m  ore child-friendly approach (方法) can help as well. |

| 3. Which of the following can best describe the writer"s attitude towards spanking? |
| A. favorable (赞同的) B. indifferent (不关心) C. interested  D. unfavorable |

| I am an English teacher, with over 15 years" experience of teaching in London. I started the DailyStep audio email lesson service because I noticed that when I started their English course, my students" speaking and listening skills were much weaker than their reading and writing skills. In my view, this is because education in school does not focus enough on communication skills. DailyStep is designed to remedy this situation by offering more practice in speaking, listening and vocabulary. I am crazy about the English language and it is a real pleasure for me to see the development of my students" language skills. I majored in (以….为专业)law at university and then worked for three years as a researcher and journalist for Sky television and BBC magazines. I decided to change to English teaching because of my love of the English language and my wish to move into more satisfying work. Then I qualified (取得资格)as an English teacher in 1992. My first teaching job was at a language school in Covent Garden, London, where I taught examination classes and Business English . After two years, I moved to the Nippon Club where I taught General English and Business English courses for 9 years. I also developed a unique course cal  led British Society & Culture, covering all areas of British life, such as politics, law, e ducation & music. At the same time, taught Business, Financial& Law English in the financial centre of London. My students included staff (工作人员)from banks and law firms. As well as running the DailyStep website, I also provide in-company English speech training for companies in London. If you have an important speech coming up and would like some information about how I can help you, please email me at jane@dailystep.com. |
