At first, I thought it was just useless e-mails. It was the end of the weekend and I hadn't checked my e-mails since late Friday afternoon. There was a long list of messages. Some I removed without reading. Others were from friends-I saved those to read later when I had more time.

One stood out from the rest for two reasons. The first was the name, Maher Nawaf, which I didn't recognize. The second was the subject line: "pleas papers. " Clearly, the e-mail was仕om someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language.

The message was from an Iraqi, a university research scientist in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a research paper I had written. As a scientist, I' m used to getting these kinds of requests; it' s part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like. I wrote back the next day, asking for more information about the type of work he was doing. I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well-being during this dangerous time in his land.

A couple of days later, his reply appeared in my inbox. It read, in part: "hi dear Dr. I'm very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also I' d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family . .. thank you very much for help I want to tell you that I' m ready to help you in mosul

university/iraq if you need that. "

Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper I' d written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be found in yogurt (酸奶) and other foods). It was his hope that he could use my findings to help find a treatment for gastrointestinal (消化系统的) illness. He signed off:" warmest regards to you and lovely family. "

Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me由at was far more than a simple request for information. The humanity displayed (流露出的) in his message made me want to both smile and cry.

36．Why did the e-mail from an Iraqi catch the author' s attention？

A．The subject line was not written in standard Englis

B．It was not completely written in Englis

38．Besides work interest, the Iraqi and the author's e-mails also delivered______.

A．heart-warming friendly feelings

B．medicine to treat certain disease

C．news about each others' family

D．their opinions on wars

39．What can we infer from the text？

A．The author of the text is a language teache

B．Iraqi people are much happier now than befor

C．The Internet can bring people closer to each othe

D．Even knowing a little English can help you learn a lot

Businesses put lots of time and money into new plans, programs and excellent employees with the hope things will change. Yet, at the end of the effort, not much changes. What happens

In most cases, those new plans, programs and employees enter a company with an existing culture (文化). And plans, programs and new employees have a way of conforming to(顺应)the existing culture. The culture of your business is the result of a particular mindset , or a particular way of thinking and the general feelings about certain things. Most often, it is the mindset of the founder or people managing the business.

The founder has gotten to where he is because of his skill sets, knowledge base and personal beliefs, which unfortunately all come with inherent (固有的)limits. Why Skills, knowledge and beliefs come from what he or she already

knows or has experienced. In other words, it comes from the past. We ( people) try to make the past fit the future. Just because something worked in the past, doesn't mean it is suitable for the future. As the saying goes, if you do and think what you have always done and thought, you will have what you have always had.

Therefore, lasting changes have to start with the way people think. To make changes in the way you think, you will be required ta set goals beyond your basic abilities and continuously think them through. It is a way to train yourself and people to get out of the comfort zone where you feel happy with your knowledge and skills.

It' s not much , but it' s home. Francis Chan, an engineer, lives in Hampstead, north London, in a flat that's just 4ft wide by 21ft long. He loves it.

Tiny though it is, it has got all the comforts. Peter Baynes, Chan’s architect (建筑师),has achieved a clever piece of design,according to architectural experts.

The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victarian house. Not an inch of space is wasted.

When you step in through the front door, you're standing in the shower, on Britain' s only self-cleansing doormat (自动清洁门垫). A door opens on to an equally tiny toilet with washbasin. Two steps further in comes the kitchen, complete with full-sized cooker and fridge, and washer/ drier. A worktop folds down from the wall.

Another step and you're into the dining/ office area. Four people can sit here for dinner, says Chan as he sets the table-top into place. He even has a fold-down drawing-board for when he' s working at home. The bed is hidden under a cover board right at the back. "I don't even have to make the bed,"Chan says. " I just put the cover down. "

Chan's business suits hang neatly on the wall over the bed. Daylight comes in through the skylight. The house feels like a very small boat and Chan admits he toyed with the idea of naming it the "boat-house".

"It cost around ￡4,700 to build last year. Now it's been valued at ￡30,000. It proves that good design doesn't need to cost more. It just needs a lot of care." says Chan.

44．By saying "It's not much" (line 1, para. 1),the author means that Chan' s flat______.

A．is cheap

B．has cheap furniture

C．has a simple design

D．is fairly small

45．Where is Chan' s flat？

A．Next to a big hous

B．Under an old buildin

C．In a busy London stree

D．By the side of a country roa

46．Which of the following is the right order of things described in the text？

A．Shower, kitchen, toilet, dining table and be

B．Shower, toilet, dining table, kitchen and be

C．Shower, toilet, kitchen, dining table and be

D．Shower, kitchen, toilet, bed and dining tabl

47．What is the purpose of this writing？

A．To sell Chan' s flat for more mone

B．To tell people how to take care of small flat

C．To introduce to readers a cleverly-designed fla

D．To call on engineers to design their own home

Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it's best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day.

Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, "Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. It's like knowing the difference between dogs and cats. even if it's hard to explain. "

The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people

were better able to remember lists of related words after a night' s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主题) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey University's Sleep Research Centre, said, "People have been trying for years to fard out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (有助恢复的) value. "

" We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all. "

48．The phrase" to sleep on a problem" in Paragraph 1 most likely means to______.

A．pay full attention to a problem

B．wait until later for a decision

C．sleep to forget a problem

D．have difficulty sleeping

49．In the study by the US research team, students were asked to______.

A．put together words of similar meanings

B．remember words and their meanings

C．show their knowledge of words

D．make up lists of related words

50．Which of the following may be easier to remember？

A．Themes learned right before the tes

B．Rules from personal experience

C．Words learnt before a good slee

D．Ideas stored together in the brai

51．What may be the importance of the research？

A．It shows sleep may help us manage imformatio

B．It helps find out the common themes of word

C．It tells us that more sleep can improve healt

D．It proves the value of old-fashioned advice

The Princess of Cambridge has finally been revealed to the world as Charlotte Elizabeth Dianain a touching nod to her grandfather, her grandmother and her great-grandmother. The name has long tradition which can be traced hack to the royal background. Charlotte, derived from French name, pays tribute to her grandfather, prince of Wales. And Charlotte is also Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton's middle name. Kensington Palace revealed the royal baby's full name yesterday after days of speculation and close friends of Princess Diana immediately said the choice means the spirit of Prince William's beloved mother 'lives on'. William was, however, clear that his baby girl should not have Diana as a first name. "It would have been a millstone around her neck," said one of the princess' s longtime friends. Within minutes of the name being announced this afternoon, Diana's closest friend Rosa Monckton said： "Diana's spirit lives on in her sons, and now her name lives on in her granddaughter 'Charlotte Elizabeth Diana'. "Diana was the godmother of Mrs. Monckton's daughter Dominica The British citizens show their satisfaction with this name via Intemet. They said it is the perfect name for their lovely princess.

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said.

全国英语等级考试口语考试注意事项2017全国英语等级考试口语考试注意事项 PETS口试是由三节组成的，在第一节考试中，互动交际是在主考官和两位考生之间进行的。一开始，主考官与考生要相互打招呼并进行简单的介绍。主考官在从考生手中索回登分卡后，询问考生的姓名，有时可能还要问他的姓名怎样拼写或全名怎样拼写。也许，在某些考生的眼中，他们会认为这是多余问题，在此，特别要向考生说明一下，这类问题不多余，原因如下：第一，主考官所提出的问题都是按照大纲上的要求进行的，一般说来，主考官的问话不能偏离考试大纲。第二，让考生说出姓名、拼写名字，可以初步观察考生对问题的反应能力、发音情况以及英语的熟练流利程度。第三，为缓和考试气氛，通过提问这种熟悉常见的问题，可以逐渐把话题过渡到口语考试的内容上。另外，在第一节考试中，按照考试的程序，考生应该做到问什么，回答什么，考生一般不宜过于主动。有些考生当主考只问了一个问题的时候，就一口气回答了很多涉及下面即将要回答的问题。这样，一来打乱了考试的提问步骤，二来容易使人觉得好像是在背诵事先准备好的东西。在第一节考试中，有发挥性的问题供考生发表意见。如有关Leisure话题中，有这样的问题：“Isthereanywhereyouwouldparticularlyliketovisit?Why?”对于这道问题，考生可根据自己的情况说：“Yes，thereis.”或“No，thereisn't.”在主考询问“Why?”之后，考生便可进行自由发挥，但也不宜过长，因为考试的时间是有限的。

在考试中，考生应注意的是，要根据提问的问题，从条理性、逻辑上去组织语言，所谈的内容尽可能切题达意，不说与题无关的话，不说意义不明显的话，不说前言不搭后语的话，条理与连贯在考试中显得比较重要。如果一时语塞或想不起确切的表达方式，千万不要缄口不语，而是应该适当运用前面所说的“填空词”(mouth-fillingphrases或hesitationfillers)，如“mm，um，err，well，Imean，Ithink，yousee，youknow，howshallIputit”等。适时运用这类填空词，表明发言人还在积极地思索与考虑，马上就会继续讲话，从而避免令人尴尬的冷场局面。在第二节活动中，互动交际是在两位考生之间进行的。主考老师只是负责向考生交代要求然后就退让一旁，然后观察考生之间进行合作交流的表面情况。在第二节口试活动中，考生应该注意以下3点：第一，不要把主考官当成交流对象，讲话时应对着自己的搭档而不是对着主考官。第二，此节活动是讨论，要求考生发言机会均等，故不要将此节考试引向一种单纯的一人提问、一人回答的局面。讨论应该在两位考生之间进行，对所讨论的问题，无论是赞同还是反对，或者另有见解，都应该以你一言我一语的形式进行。切忌一个人长时间地讲而另一个人长时间地听。若出现这种局面，听者应该以得体的`交际语言予以中止、打断。类似“I'msorry， Ihavetointerruptyou.”;“Excu seme，whatdidyousayjustnow?”;“I'mafraidIhavetostopyou，but……”这样的话语，考生应该掌握。若在本节讨论活动中，一方发言已毕，而另一方仍沉默不语。类似 “Thisismypointofview.Whatdoyouthinkofit?”;“Canyoutellmes omethingaboutit?”;“Doyouagreewithmeordoyoudisagreewithme?”;“What'syouropinion?”这样的话语，可以鼓励对方开口，从而形成良好的“你来我往”的讨论局面。总之，考生应把握本节的重点，积极主动、有效地在考生之间进行交流。双方都应该对会话中的“轮换体系”敏感，保证“每次至少有一方在说话”。在第二节活动中，考生应礼貌退让;想插话时，用得体的语言争取发言权;出

Once again I spelt out directions even a blind person could follow, I glanced impatiently at my watch, and waited. Only two hours remained until my flight left and it was an hour-and-a-half trip to the airport. Outside, heavy rains were pouring down. My house was so far north in the city that buses pass only three times a day. The telephone rang again. "Terribly sorry," began the man at the taxi company. Then I rea-lized that the taxi company, flooded with calls, could only offer in-city runs. I had heard this happens when the weather gets bad. I shouted into the phone that I had a plane to catch and I would meet the taxi outside my house. Standing in the wind-driven rain, I looked up and down the road. No taxi. A car went by, driver and passenger staring at the crazy foreigner in the downpour. Finally a white car appeared and pulled to a stop. A young man threw open the door, waving for me to get in. Shaking with cold and anger, I climbed in.
