At school- If you pay to go to alanguage school, you should use the opportunity to speak.If your teacherasks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much aspossible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak!

Conversation Clubs-Many cities aroundthe world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language foranother. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation clubnear you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.

TheInternet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. Weuse it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect withfamily and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about. Thelist goes on and on.

Asfar as the Internet being a part of our lives, — well, that train has leftthe station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can usingthe Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. Anew study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group: teenagers.

Thestudy results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only onlinemay cause high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard. Over time, this extrapressure increases your risk of a

heart attack. High blood pressure can alsocause heart and other diseases.

TheHenry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavyInternet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 hadhigh blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connectheavy web use with high blood pressure.

Thelead researcher is Andrea Cassidy Bushrow. She said, “Using the Internetis part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin us.” Ms. Cassidy Bushrowadds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly from theircomputers or smart phones and do some kind of physical activity. She alsosuggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for morethan two hours a day, five days a week.

B . There are more advantages than disadvantages of Internet use.

C . Heavy Internet users will probably have high blood pressure.

Peoplewho like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can helpthem expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historicalsense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoydifferent kinds of food and experience new things that would never be broughtby other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some

reasons.

Travelling,in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens ourmind. We can get in touch with other civilizations, cultures, customs andideas.

Throughhistory, most people travelled because of necessity ---not for pleasure. People travelledjust in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to livein. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one evertravelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romanstravelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, andfestivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity . They wanted to find out what itlooked like beyond the horizon . Also business travel has been goingon for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speakseveral languages and be introduced to different cultures.

So,travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubtthat we can get much from it.

（1）According to the passage, in the past most people travelled________.

A . for fun

B . for knowledge

C . to get experiences

D . to make a living

9. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。（不得直接引用原文句子）

The main benefit you get from studying abroad isindependence. I feel great to know that you can manage on your own whennecessary. This ability gives you more freedom as well as tolerance. Aftermoving abroad you have to start a totally new life. Setting in a newenvironment is a big challenge for you, but you have to keep in mind that it isonly a small part of studying abroad, and experiences like these can help youbuild your character and understand the world better.

When I went abroad I knew that I had to find a job and learnto handle my money myself. I did not have a choice. I had to manage on my own.I found a job as a mail carrier for the local newspaper. Not all my co-studentswere as lucky as me in finding a job right away. You have to keep in mind thatbesides working you have to attend lectures and do your homework. Carrying mailwas not always an easy job, but thanks to it, I got to know many nice peopleand saw the town and local people from a different view.

Besides looking for a job, I also had to find a place tolive in and take care of everyday chores from cooking to doing laundry. Whenyou have only begun with your independent life, this can be quite a challenge.You don’t have experience, nor does anyone give a helping hand---yo u’re on yourown. So it might happen that the first potato you fry ending up darker thanintended, but

from that on you can only do better.

All the trials you go through increase your independence,teach you a lesson and give you a wonderful experience to manage in difficultsituations in the future. Learning in a new environment and taking fullresponsibility for yourself make your time abroad quite extraordinary.
