I’m a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look quite good when you’re in a foreign country. Here are 4 apps (应用程序) that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download (下载) them for free.

Since graduating from middle school, this year’s new 9th-grade class is adapting to (适应) the challenges of high school, a difficult process (过程) for many students. Some of the challenges the students must get used to are the increasing difficulty of school-work, he amount of homework, and the change in the grading system among other things.

“It’s a bit harder than middle school, but that is to be expected from every ongoing year,” David Palacios, a 9th-grade student, said.

Adaptation is also influenced by stories the freshmen hear before entering. These stories create a negative (消极的) idea of high school, as they are usually bad stories about classes, teachers, or other topics.

“Stories I’ve heard of high school are exaggerated (夸张的),” Palacios said.

The school is fighting against students’ fear by providing information about high school, even before they enter. This year, the 9th-grade class entered school on August 8 one day earlier than other high school students. This was done to help the freshmen by solving any doubts they could have. “In general, they adapt well, because since middle school they have been given some information on what high school is,” Ana Isabel Garcia, a high school advisor, said.

The changes faced in 9th grade are more challenging than those found in middle school. However, after experiencing the first two months of 9th grade. many 9th graders agree that 9th grade is not as hard as they thought it would be.

“It’s not that different from middle school,” Palacios said.

High school is harder than other grades as it’s the final step students take before they enter the real world. Students must see the important role high school plays as it teaches them many skills that will help them improve their future. “They do well because they come in with a good attitude (态度) and wish to adapt well,” Garcia said.

4. What did Palacios think of the freshman challenges?

A. They happened as expected. B. They were hard to fight off.

C. They would disappear soon. D. They mostly focused on grades.

5. Why did Palacios’s school require the 9th graders to enter the school on August 8?

A. To show them around the campus.  B. To help them deal with their nervousness.

C. To let them experience high school life in advance.  D. To avoid them hearing bad stories about high school.

6. What kind of feeling did Garcia express in her words?

A. Shock. B. Worry. C. Annoy. D. Satisfaction.

7. Where is this text most likely from?

A. A personal diary. B. A travel guide. C. A news report. D. A letter.

C

A lecture hall should be like a church—a little too dark, much too cold, and uncomfortably silent. You should feel guilty opening your water bottle because all 200 people in the room can hear it.

So when I’m trying to pay attention, the last thing you should be doing is carrying on a conversation about your last weekend party or anything else.

During the past school term, I’ve had enough. One of my biggest complaints of large class sizes is the tendency for three to five friends to sit together and loudly speak in each others’ ears for an hour and 15 minutes straight. My stupid monkeybrain can’t help but focus on your conversation about the difference between ash blonde and light blonde colored hair that look exactly the same.

To me, it just feels like a waste. You’re actively wasting money, and missing vital information. We (and the government) pay quite a lot for our education, but you are here to ignore someone significantly more experienced than us, in classes we picked, for hours every week.

I know major requirements can be boring, but this is still an education. It requires two-way effort. Most students here have at least one goal in common: success. Not every checkpoint on that path is going to be filled with joy. Sit down, shut up, and force yourself to listen to your professor. Society tells us it will eventually pay off.

Or maybe it won’t because you don’t want to. I actually don’t care if you decide to pay little or no attention to the lecture itself, so long as you’re not being disturbing.

For those willing to try, in 20 years when you finally pay off your debt with your fairly secure white-collar job, you’ll look back and be happy that you went through the lectures.

8. Why is a lecture hall compared to a church by the author?

A. Both places are open to the public. B. Both places help rid people of their guilt.

C. Both places can seat over 200 people. D. Both places are supposed to be quiet.

9. What can we infer about the author from the passage?

A. He likes persuading others. B. He tends to make complaints.

C. He values education as a duty. D. He cares much about friendship.

10. How does the author feel when writing the passage?

A. Delighted. B. Annoyed. C. Thrilled. D. Worried.

11. What may be the best title for the text?

A. Hard Work Pays Off!  B. Focus on the Lectures!

C. Wasting Your Time Is a Shame! D. Mind Your In-Class Behavior!

D

What’s the deal with new words? Where do they come from and how do they go from unknown to official? First, new words have to circulate in culture to make it into the dictionary. They have to be used and understood. Words have a much better chance of getting added to the dictionary if you see them In print or hear them in conversation. It’s actually a full-time job to search popular communication to figure out what new words are surfacing in our vernacular (方言). Lexicographers get to decide which words make it into the dictionary, and they do so by reading widely across industries and disciplines. However, they also make decisions about which idioms make it in.

Dictionaries can sometimes get over 1,000 new words per year. In 2019 the Merriam-Webster Dictionary added over 600 in April and another 500+ in September. After lexicographers decide which words will be included, they write a new definition. Some existing words also gain additional meanings, and there are usually thousands of revisions. The dictionary is a constantly changing work in progress, just like the language it describes and defines. For instance, the word “peak” recently went from being just a sharp, pointed end to also being something at the height of popularity. Occasionally fake words actually end up in the dictionary by mistake.

If you have a word that you think should be in the dictionary, you’re welcome to get in touch with the lexicographers and suggest it. However, the word needs to be fairly popular. It has to have “widespread, frequent, meaningful usage”. For instance, OMG was added to the dictionary in 2009 after lexicographers had observed it in general use for about 7 years.

New words spring from new technologies and disciplines, but they’re very often invented by authors and writers who love language and play with it to create new meanings. One of the greatest creators was William Shakespeare who created over 1,700 new words often by adapting usage and using new compounds. He’s responsible for words like eyeball, excitement, fashionable, and lonely. “Hard-boiled” was invented by Mark Twain.

12. What kind of new words can be included in dictionaries?

A. Words which have been widely used for long. B. Words which were created by famous writers.

C. Words which have been spoken by some locals. D. Words which frequently appear in private conversation.

13. What does the underlined word “Lexicographers” in the first paragraph probably mean?

A. New word creators.  B. Writers of a dictionary.

C. Specialists in languages.  D. Historians on ancient cultures.

14. What does the author think of a dictionary?

A. Quite ambiguous. B. Error-free. C. Extremely rigid. D. Gradually developing.

15. What is the best title for the text?

A. How the dictionary is revised B. How new words spread in culture

C. How words get added to the dictionary D. How new words are invented by famous authors

Exam Anxiety

Has this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank. your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe.    16  

Everyone feels anxious during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance.    17    You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.

   18    Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.

So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test?    19    Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start.

The blank page can maximize your anxiety.    20    You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.

A. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.

B. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.

C. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.

D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.

E. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!

F. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.

G. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
