Television is everywhere around us.Yet it is great for learning English.The
pictures make it easier to understand than radio and because you can see who's
talking,and get a better idea of what people mean.Just watch their “body language”!
Watch programs that you find enjoyable and entertaining. 1
Here's the englishathome.com guide to learning as much as possible while
watching English television:
2 Learning English should be fun—not something that you have to force
yourself to do.If you have a passion for football,watch matches or the sports news.
Keep a notebook near to your television. 3 This is especially useful.You can
look for programs with subtitles in your own language.
Try to watch English television regularly.Even if you can only watch 15 minutes
a day,you'll be amazed how much you learn.
Don't worry if you don't understand everything.English television is normally
aimed at native English speakers. 4 If the programs that you're watching are full
of unknown words,just concentrate on understanding the general meaning.
Keep a note of television programs and presenters that you find easy to
understand and try to watch them regularly. 5 Soon you will impress your friends
with your English skills.
A. Don't watch the programs too easy for you.
B.Better watch programs that you find interesting.
C.Programs often include many difficult words.
D.English learning has little to do with watching TV.
E.Whatever you watch will help you improve your English.
F.Doing this will increase your confidence in learning English.
G.You can take down any new words or expressions that you hear.

How to Pick a Great Book to Read
The world is full of great books,just waiting to be read.How can you pick one
you'll really like? Here are some tips:
●What makes you happy?
6 Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific person? Are there a few
careers you're interested in? You can find books about almost anything you like,
and you're more likely to enjoy reading a book if you're already interested in its
subject.
●Fact or fiction?
Some books are entirely made up and imagined.Those are called fiction
books.Novels,short stories are all examples of fiction.These books can transport
you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience.
Nonfiction books give you the who,what,when and why. 7 Nonfiction books
can bring everything to life from the first trip to the moon to what it's like to
explore the deepest oceans.Try both fiction and nonfiction books to see which you
like better.
●Find a family favorite.
What was your mother's favorite book when she was your age? Or your dad's? 8

events,whatever you're into—and the names of some books you already like.Your
librarian can help you find other books that you're sure to love.
●Launch a book swap.
10 It's always fun to see what your friends are reading.Even if they're not
exactly bookworms,you can all encourage each other to read and share books and
authors you like.You also can look for book swaps in your area.It's a great way to

Everyone wants to become a better person,but many of us don't know what to do.
11 But I think everyone deserves respect and can become a better person.If you
really want it,you can change yourself and your habits by taking a few little steps
described below.
● Pursue your passion.It's important to find yourself and pursue your
passion.Learn to listen to your inner self,even when someone is trying to bring
you down.Some people try to bring you down because they're too weak and cowardly
to pursue their passions and they don't think you should pursue yours.Don't listen
to them.Spend time with yourself and think about the thing that brings you joy. 12
● 13 Another important thing to do to be a better person is to learn how
to keep your dignity.Keep in mind that only you're responsible for your choices and
decision in life and never get down on yourself when you do something wrong.Don't
let anyone or anything bring you down and remind yourself that your life is unique,
special and really worthwhile.
● Share your time,energy and talents. 14 You might not get aware of them,
but you have them.Sharing your time,energy and talents can help become a better
person,so learn to share more of your precious time with others and help people
in need and you will feel much better about yourself.
●Learn something new.You should never stop learning something new.That you are
in your 30s or 40s,or even 60s,doesn't mean you can't learn a new language or other
interesting things.Knowledge is always great. 15 When you are a welleducated

cycle? 19

Each year,many animal species die out.They join the countless species that have
gone extinct(灭绝的) over the course of the earth's history and many people believe
they disappear forever. 21
Now some scientists are focusing on the ability to bring back extinct
species.This doesn't mean the plot of Jurassic Park is going to become a reality.The
researchers need DNA to clone a species. 22 Dinosaurs have been gone too long
for any of their DNA to remain in fossils(化石).
But there's a very real chance that we will be able to bring back more recently
extinct species. 23 In 2003,a team of Spanish and French scientists recreated
the Pyrenean ibex,which had gone extinct three years' earlier.The new animal didn't
survive long,but scientific advances could improve the success rate.In January,
Australian scientists announced that they were on their way to bringing back the
gastric brooding frog.
That we can bring species back doesn't mean that we should do that.There may
be much benefit of reviving(使复生) a species,but there's no way to know how it
will turn out. 24 Or might it crowd out existing species? Environmentalists worry
that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of
traditional conservation.
25 If we can correct our mistake,why not use the chance to do that? As Stewart
Brand,a businessman and environmentalist,recently said,“Humans have made a huge
hole in nature.We have the ability now to repair some of that damage.”
A. However,some people argue that the extinction of some animals is really our
mistake.
B.In addition,most people think that the extinction of some animals is really
human's mistake.
C.This could even include Ice Age animals like the woolly mammoth.
D.However,you might need to redefine(重新定义) “forever”.
E.For example,would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat(栖息地)?
F.This could even be true to dinosaurs that have been extinct long ago.
G.DNA is the chemical that carries the structure of a living thing.
本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了我们可以用克隆手段来使灭绝的动物重新回到世界上,
但这并不意味着我们应该那样去做。
只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。

21.D [空格前指出“许多人认为一些动物物种会永远消失”;第二段首句指出“现在
一些科学家正致力于恢复这些灭绝物种的研究”;由此可知,D 项“然而,你也许需要重新
定义‘永远’这个词的含义”与上文中的“forever”呼应,且引出下文内容,符合语境。
故选 D。]
22.G [根据上文可知,研究人员需要 DNA 来克隆一个物种;根据下文可知,恐龙已经
消失太久了,它们的 DNA 存在于它们的化石当中;由此可知,此处应是对 DNA 进行介绍,G
项“DNA 是一种携带了生物结构的化学物质”承上启下,符合语境。故选 G。]
23.C [根据上文可知,我们真的有机会能够恢复更接近现代的灭绝物种;根据下文可
知,空格后主要讲述的是研究例证;由此可知,C 项“这甚至包括冰川时期的动物如猛犸象”
承接上文,下文的例子则对其进行了进一步论证,符合语境。故选 C。]
24.E [根据空格后的“or”表并列可知,此处与下文应是对称的一般疑问句。E 项“例
如,旅鸽能够适应之前的栖息地吗”与下文衔接密切,符合语境。故选 E。]
25.A [根据第四段内容可知,恢复物种也许会有很多好处,但“我们”无法知道结果
如何。环保人士担心恢复物种的能力也许会对传统的保护物种的艰辛工作产生不良影响;空
格后句意:如果“我们”能纠正自己的错误,为什么不利用这次机会呢?由此可知,上下文
之间构成转折关系。A 项中的“However...our mistake.”照应下文,符合语境。故选 A。]
