21、How to Speak English Fluently

Immerse(沉浸)yourself in English every day

【1】The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.

There’s a special language learning method called “immersion”. With immersion, you try to surround yourself with the language as much as you can in your day-to-day activities.

Accept that English grammar has a lot of exceptions

Sometimes, you can find patterns in English grammar, but other times English doesn’t make sense at all. It’s easy to get stuck on learning how to speak English properly if you try to find a reason for everything. 【2】So the best thing to do is just memorize the strange exceptions and move on.

Learn intonation, body language and gestures

Intonation is the “rise and fall” or tone changes in how a person speaks. Body language is how a person uses their own body to support (or go against) what they mean. Gestures are hand and body movements that work together with what someone is saying. 【3】 One way to learn is to just watch how native English speakers communicate with each other.

Share your opinions online

To really learn English speaking, you need to learn how to express yourself in English. Even if you have ideas for conversations, it can be hard to know how to put them into your own words. You can practice this by participating in conversations online. 【4】

Get direct feedback

To improve your speaking, you can ask directly for feedback. Since you usually can’t do this with casual conversations, it might be worth setting up a language exchange, where you can ask the person to tell you directly if any of your sentences sounds awkward or unnatural. 【5】Hello Talk also allows you to chat in English, and then your conversation partner will literally mark out your mistakes.

A．Sometimes, English is just strange!

B．There are many options for practicing your writing skills.

C．Listen carefully when someone asks you a question in English.

D．It’s not easy to learn these three things because they seem very natural.

E．Posting on social media and leaving comments on articles are good approaches.

F．Studying English for an hour once a week isn’t usually enough to make any real progress.

G．There are even apps for this, like Go Correct, where you can connect with English teachers.

23、   High above Earth, a multi-billion- dollar formation of communications satellites stands ready to instantly connect people like pilots and seamen to every available aid when they find themselves in emergency. But what if the communication computers on board these ships and aircrafts broke down? The world could go silent, and leave travelers looking for directions. Not worry. There is a backup plan, in part using technology that was invented in 1835, the year Mark Twain was born. It’s the Morse code, the language of dots and dashes that has survived the “ attack” of higher techonology for a century and half.

Named after its inventor, Samuel F B Morse, the code is a series of combinations of short and long tones(dots and dashes) representing letters of the alphabet that can be transmitted(方法送) manually by a key operator. A telegrapher combines the dots and dashes to form letters and words. It is a seemingly tiring procedure, but skilled operators can transmit and receive faster than most secretaries can type.

Morse telegraphy may seem weird and out of fashion, with its brass sounder and key operated by the world’s most basic tool, the human finger. However, it is sometimes vital to worldwide communications. When the Mexico City earthquake occurred in 1985 and all the power went off, calls for help were transmitted in Morse by an amateur radio operator. “We see the Morse code as a dying art, but we refuse to let it die completely,” says Major General Leo M Childs, the US Army’s Chiefs Signal Officer. “ Newer isn’t always better. Even though it is old and slow, Morse is still the most reliable in difficult conditions.”

Ever since Morse started the telegraph service in 1844, the death of Morse code has been predicted regularly. However, although the telegraph has receded from public view, experts say that they cannot envision an end to its use any time soon. “ I can carry a very small Morse key in my pocket and transmit around the world,” says Burke Stinson, a public relations man for American Telephone & Telegraph Co. “ I don’t think you will ever see the Morse code die. It is going to be difficult to find another method that is as flexible and reliable.”

【1】Why does the writer mention the possibility of satellite-based communication systems failing?

A.To compare Morse to communication satellites.

B.To underlined the importance of a reliable alternative.

C.To suggest that satellite communications are unreliable.

D.To emphasize the weaknesses of satellites communications.

【2】What can be learned about the process of communications using Morse Code?

A.It involved more than transmitting tones.

B.It is difficult even for experienced users.

C.It is not as laborious as people think.

D.It is simple enough for anyone who can type.

【3】In the third paragraph, what does the writer imply about the use of Morse Code?

A.It attracts many enthusiasts thought old-fashioned.

B.It is most useful to the armed forces and some hobbyists.

C.It has been brought to life again by amateur radio operators.

D.It can be the only way to communicate during a crisis.

【4】Which of the following might the best title of the passage?

A.Dots and Dashes Still Alive

B.A New Age for Morse Code

C.The Evolution of Morse Telegraphy

D.Samuel F. B Morse : Father of the Morse Code

24、Beating Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in the New Year

This year has continued to bring many of us closer to the pain, suffering and exhaustion of those experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue (疲倦). There is no doubt that 2021 has been filled with additional challenges. 【1】

The data is clearly showing that our workforce shares feelings of burnout. A recent Gallup report indicated that 67% of us feel burned out either some or most of the time. At an organizational level, Hogan reports that burned out employees are 18% less productive and 2.6 times more likely to be actively seeking a different job.

Fatigue and burnout arise not when we fail to get sufficient rest but when we fail to appreciate the moments of purpose and joy in our lives.

There are a few myths around burnout and compassion fatigue:

Myth 1: Burnout is an individual's problem.

Many people believe that burnout is about an individual who needs to “figure it out”. 【2】 Team structure offers critical support and leaders should create environment where team burnout is addressed.

Myth 2: 【3】

Surprisingly, the individuals most likely to experience burnout are committed employees and leaders who love their job and are highly engaged. These top performers are the people you are most likely to lose.

Myth 3: People who experience burnout are just less resilient.

Research shows a correlation between higher levels of resilience (复原力) and lower levels of burnout. 【4】 But resilience looks very different now from five years ago, and my guess is that it will continue to shift.

If 2021 has taught us anything, it is that we cannot separate burnout from our emotions, whether they may be fear, anger, shame or guilt. 【5】

A．While fatigue is more sudden and results from carrying the pain and suffering of others, what we experience is similar.

B．Burnout results from lack of responsibility.

C．Burnout hurts individuals' enthusiasm and passion.

D．At this point, burnout and compassion fatigue has expanded into many aspects of our lives.

E．But burnout occurs at different levels and is the result from challenges to individuals, teams and organizations.

F．At one point, people believed resilience was established by “sucking it up”, or “just staying positive”.

G．And the path forward requires us to deepen the relationship with feelings of joy, passion, pride and fulfillment.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Mommy, can we get some cupcakes for my birthday? Please!”4-year-old Norah said. I hesitated about going to the grocery store on a Tuesday, Senior Citizen Discount Day. We had already celebrated Norah’s big day. Her two elder sisters were also born in September, so we had one big celebration for all of them. But today was Norah’s actual birthday. How could I say no? ”Okay,“ I said，thinking of the seniors who would crowd the aisles (过道) in the store.“But we have to be quick.

At the store I put Norah in one of the carts shaped like a car and did my best to move it to the bakery quickly. I picked up a package of cupcakes, swung to the other part of the store for birthday balloons and then got distracted by salad dressings.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Norah standing up in the cart waving excitedly. “Hi, old person! It’s my birthday today, ” she said cheerfully.

An elderly man in his 80s stared at us stone-faced. Before I could explain that “old person” isn’t exactly the best way to address someone, the man had already opened his mouth to reply to her. “Well, hello, little lady, ”he said.“How old are you today?”

“I’m four, ”Norah said, holding up her fingers. Then we chatted briefly, long enough for him to tell me that he was Dan and that he usually tried to avoid the grocery store on Senior Citizen Discount Day as well.

We went our separate ways. Several minutes later, Norah asked, “Can I take a photo with the old man for my birthday?” I felt kind of strange about asking a complete stranger to take a photo with this kid who had just called him “old person”.

“Let’s see if we can,” I said. We went back and spotted Mr. Dan by the dairy section. “There he is!” Norah pointed. His hair was uncombed(乱的), and he was dressed in a plaid shirt, jeans and sneakers.

“Ask him, Mommy!” Norah said.

“Okay, okay, I’ll ask, honey, ”I told Norah, and then approached the old man.
