They are fictional series on television or radio that follow a group of families and show us the events of their everyday life. Soap operas take their strange name from the past, when soap manufacturers(制造商) used to pay for the programmes. Here are some of the most famous soap operas in the UK today:Coronation StreetCoronation Street was first aired on the British television in 1960 and has been running ever since, several times a week. The street is located in the fictional town of Weather field, in the North of England. Some important places in the TV series are the cafe, the corner shop and the Rovers Return pub where lots of characters meet up for a drink and a chat.East EndersCoronation Street's main rival is called East Enders, set in East London. It began later in the 1980s, and follows the residents of Albert Square in their life at home and at work. In this soap opera, there is a lot of drama, including murder and romantic stories. The opening theme for this programme shows the River Thames.EmmerdaleEmmerdale is based on a town in the Yorkshire Dales, the green countryside of the North of England. The series follows a group of families in the small village of Emmerdale, mostly working on farms. The setting of this series is similar to the one of The Archers, another long-running soap opera broadcast on BBC radio. It's the second oldest soap opera in the UK, first aired in 1972.Soap operas are usually not realistic at all but they are a chance to see some elements of British culture. The characters of ten have quite strong accents. They also speak very quickly, so it makes for some challenging listening exercises for English learners. Their storylines can be soattractive that some people never miss an episode(集) of the show.26.

British soap operasBMy dad is by no means the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits of reading books, which screen-based activities (games, films, TV, etc.) don't have:Firstly, it's better' for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and to, get a good night's sleep, you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed.One thing I personally love about reading is being transported to another world. Reading is agreat way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world and the problems you have during the day and you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better. While seeing a film, I often talk to my flat mates, send texts, or paint my nails. A book, on the other hand, controls your full attention.I also love people. I am nosy and enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what people think about. Reading gives you the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people's points of view, and understand other people's decisions or opinions. With a book, you can learn everything a character is thinking about or feeling. You really can be inside someone else's head!So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you wake up, go to bed, eat lunch, or have a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck and happy reading!31. What do we know about the author's father?A. He doesn't like relaxing.B. He doesn't enjoy reading books.C. He enjoys screen-based reading.D.

He's successfully persuaded the Rhode Island state lawmakers to prevent the public from throwing away electronics. He's used renovated (翻新的) computers to create media centers in developing countries like Cameroon and Sri Lanka to improve computer ability. He's Alex Lin, a 16-year-old environmental activist. In 2004, Lin happened to read an article in the Wall Street Journal which alerted(使警觉) him to the e-waste problem, and warned of an e-waste tsunami to come.E-waste, or electronics garbage, is the fastest growing section of the U.S. trash stream. In 2007, Americans threw away more than 112,000 computers daily, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Even worse, just 18 percent of thrown-away televisions and computer products were collected for recycling. Almost all electronic devices contain various amounts of dangerous chemicals and heavy metals which are harmful to the human body. E-waste, if not dealt with properly, can cause damage to the environment.While there is no federal law banning e-waste, 20 states have passed laws permitting statewide e-waste recycling. Alex Lin has taken e-waste matters into his own hands."Reduce, reuse, and recycle" are the so-called 3Rs of eco-friendly behaviour. To start, Lin and his student-led community service team, Westerly Innovations Network (WIN), concentrated their efforts on recycling.However, once Lin and his team discovered that reusing computers was much more efficient than recycling, they decided to create a computer-refurbishing (翻新) program. They worked with the Westerly School System to incorporate computer refurbishing into the A+ Certified Computer Repair class's curriculum.More than 300 refurbished computers were donated to low-income students without home computer access. "It was an eye-opening experience," says Jeff Brodie, 16, of the moment when he, Lin, and other WIN teammates walked into one Westerly residence to set up a computer. "The kids were running around very excitedly."36. From Paragraph 2, we can know that e-waste______.A. is the most serious environmental problem in the U.S.B. can pollute the environment under any conditionsC. is often collected for reusing in the U.S.D. can do harm to human health37. The underlined word "banning" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “_______”A. favouringB. recyclingC. recreatingD. forbidding38. In the beginning, WIN focused on_______.A. repairing waste computersB. recycling waste computersC. reducing the use of computersD. creating a computer-renovating program39. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lin helped the U.S. improve computer ability.B. To solve the e-waste problem, Lin read the Wall Street Journal for help.C. Not every state has passed laws allowing e-waste recycling.D. A computer-refurbishing program helped recycle waste computers.40. What is the best title of the passage?A. WIN, a community service teamB. The recycling of used computersC. Alex Lin, a teenage activistD. The problem of e-wasteDA survey of 2,462 Advanced Placement (AP) and National Writing Project (NWP) teachers finds that digital technologies have become helpful tools for teaching writing to middle and high schoolstudents. At the same time, they also describe the challenges of teaching writing in the digital age.Overall, these AP and NWP teachers see digital technologies benefiting students' writing in several ways: 96% agree that digital technologies allow students to share their work with a wider and more varied audience. 79% agree that these tools encourage greater collaboration (合作) among students. 78% agree that digital technologies encourage students' creativity and personal expression.At the same time, these AP and NWP teachers shared some concern and challenges they face when teaching writing in today's digital environment. Some say that students use informal language and styles in formal writing assignments. 68% say digital tools make students more likely to take shortcuts (捷径) and not put effort into their writing. 46% say these tools make students more likely to write too fast and be careless.While they see writing forms and styles expanding in the digital world, AP and NWP teachers continue to place great value on "formal writing". Nine in ten teachers describe formal writing assignments as an "essential" part of the learning process, and 91% say that "writing effectively" is an "essential" skill that students need for future success.Almost all AP and NWP teachers surveyed (94%) encourage students to do some of their writing by hand. Many teachers noted that because students are required to write by hand on standardized tests, it is an essential skill for them. Besides, writing by hand discourages any temptation to copy oth ers’ work.Asked to assess (评价) their students' performance on nine specific writing skills, AP and NWP tended to rate their students "good" or "fair" as opposed to "excellent" or "very good".41.
