七下英语早读材料

七下英语早读材料The Importance of Early Morning Reading in EnglishIn the modern education system, the practice of early morning reading in English has become increasingly prevalent as a means of enhancing language proficiency and overall academic performance. This routine, often referred to as "seven down English reading materials," has gained significant attention and recognition for its numerous benefits to students.One of the primary advantages of this practice is the opportunity it provides for consistent and focused language exposure. By dedicating a portion of the day to reading in English, students are able to immerse themselves in the language, familiarizing themselves with vocabulary, grammar structures, and idiomatic expressions. This regular exposure not only improves comprehension but also aids in the development of fluency and confidence in the language.Furthermore, the early morning setting is particularly conducive to effective learning. During this time, the mind is often more alert andreceptive, allowing students to better retain and process the information they encounter. The quiet and calm atmosphere of the early morning hours can also contribute to a more focused and productive learning environment, free from the distractions and disruptions that may arise later in the day.In addition to the linguistic benefits, the practice of early morning reading in English also fosters important cognitive and academic skills. The act of reading, particularly in a second language, requires a high level of concentration, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. As students engage with the text, they are challenged to make connections, draw inferences, and actively process the information they are reading. This mental exercise not only enhances their language proficiency but also strengthens their overall academic performance across various subjects.Moreover, the habit of early morning reading in English can have a positive impact on a student's overall well-being and personal development. The routine of dedicating time to reading can instill a sense of discipline and self-regulation, as students learn to prioritize and manage their time effectively. Additionally, the exposure to diverse perspectives, ideas, and cultural contexts through reading can broaden students' horizons, fostering empathy, cultural awareness, and a global mindset.One of the key factors contributing to the success of the "seven down English reading materials" practice is the structured and intentional approach it often takes. Many educational institutions have implemented comprehensive programs that provide students with carefully curated reading materials, ranging from classic literature to contemporary non-fiction works. These materials are selected to align with the students' language proficiency levels and curricular objectives, ensuring that the reading experience is both challenging and rewarding.Furthermore, the integration of this practice into the overall educational framework is crucial. Many schools have incorporated the early morning reading session as a mandatory part of the daily schedule, reinforcing its importance and ensuring consistent participation. Additionally, teachers play a vital role in guiding and supporting students throughout the reading process, providing feedback, facilitating discussions, and encouraging critical engagement with the texts.The impact of the "seven down English reading materials" practice extends beyond the individual student level. When implemented effectively, this approach can have a transformative effect on the entire school community. By fostering a culture of reading and language proficiency, schools can inspire students to become lifelong learners, equipped with the necessary skills and mindset tonavigate an increasingly globalized world.Moreover, the benefits of this practice can extend beyond the academic realm, positively impacting students' personal and social development. The exposure to diverse perspectives and ideas through reading can cultivate empathy, tolerance, and a deeper understanding of different cultures and worldviews. This, in turn, can contribute to the development of well-rounded individuals who are better equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world and make meaningful contributions to their communities.In conclusion, the practice of "seven down English reading materials" is a powerful tool for enhancing language proficiency, academic performance, and personal growth. By providing students with consistent and focused exposure to the English language, this approach not only improves linguistic skills but also fosters critical thinking, discipline, and a global mindset. As educational institutions continue to recognize the value of this practice, it is essential that they implement it with a comprehensive and intentional approach, ensuring that students reap the full benefits of this transformative learning experience.。

M: I counted numbers. I drank milk. I tried everyt hing. But they just didn’t help.W: It looks like you have been overworking recently. I’ll give you some sleeping pills. Take one pill before going to bed.Q: When did this conversation most likely take place?2. M: Liz, could I bother you for a moment. This book is already overdue. But I cannot leave mywork for now to return it to the library. Will you help me?W: No problem. I happen to be going in that direction.Q: What will the man probably do next?3. M: When are you ever going to finish your project? You have wasted six months withoutmaking any progress.W: Only four, to be exact. But it does seem longer, because everybody believes it starts from January instead of March.Q: What does the woman say about the project?4. M: Hi, Judy. It is said that you have just came back from the art gallery. What do you think? W: I guess it seems I haven’t developed a taste for those abstract paintings. What do you think? Q: What does the woman mean?5. M: I heard on the radio that the typhoon is coming.W: If the weatherman is as accurate as usual, it will be a nice day tomorrow.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?6. M: Can I borrow your car tomorrow?W: Well, you know, it’s still a new car. And I haven’t insured it.Q: What does the woman mean?7.

It’s just that I have nothing better to do at the moment.Q: What does the woman imply?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneW: In Britain we are often told that people are leaving the big cities to live in the countryside but is this the same worldwide?M: Not at all. If you look at the biggest cities in 1950, seven out of the top ten were in thedeveloped countries but by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten. New, York , which in 1950 was number one with a population of around 12 million, will only be the sixth largest city in the world but with an extra 2 million.W: And London?M: London, which was number two, won’t even be in the top ten. Its population in 1950, by the way, was about 10 million.W: And why is this happening? Why are people moving to the big cities from the country in developing countries?M: The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for work. And the problems this creates are enormous. It’s estimated that 26 million people will be living in Mexico City by the year 2000, with Sao Paulo in Brazil not far behind.W: It’s difficult to believe.M: I know. Well, just imagine the kinds of difficulties this is going to cause in terms of health, transport and education.W: Yes. What about the cities of Asia? Will they be experiencing a similar sort of growth?M: In some cases, yes. Calcutta in India which was No 10 in the league in 1950 is expected to be the fourth biggest city in the world with a population of 16 million, quadrupling its size in just 50 years.W: What about Japan?M: Ah! Well, Tokyo was number three in 1950 and that’s where it’ll be at the beginning of the next century, although its population will have trebled to about 18 million. Looking at the other major cities in Asia, Shanghai and Seoul will be in the top ten as well but, perhaps surprisingly, not Beijing or Hong Kong.Question 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. People in which of the following areas are leaving the big cities to live in the countryside?10. What was the likely population in New York in the year 2000?11. Which one is not mentioned as the problem caused by the increasingly large populations in the cities?12. Which one of the following cities won’t be in the top ten largest cities in terms of population?Conversation TwoW: Excuse me, could I ask you some questions?M: Of course.W: I work for an advertising agency, and I am doing some research. It’s for a new magazine, for people like you.M: People like me? What do you mean?W: People between 25 and 35 years old.M: Okay.W: Right, what do you do on the weekend?M: Well, on Fridays, my wife always goes to her exercise class, then she visits friends.W: Don’t you go out?M: Not on Fridays. I never go out on Fridays. I stay at home and watch television.W: And on Saturdays?M: On Saturdays, my wife and I always go sailing together.W: Really?M: Amm. We love it! We never miss it. And then in the evening we go out.W: Where to?M: Different places. We sometimes go and see friends. We sometimes go to the cinema or a restaurant. But we always go out on Saturday evenings.W: I see. And now, Sunday. What happens on Sunday?M: Nothing special. We often go for a walk, and I always cook a big Sunday lunch.W: Oh! How often do you do the cooking?M: Mmm… Twice a week, three times a week.W: Thank you very much. All I need now are your personal details; your name, job, and so on. What’s your surname?M: Robinson.Questions 13 to 15 are based the conversation you have just heard.13. What is the main purpose of the research?14. What does the man do on Friday?15. On which day does the couple always go out?Section BPassage OneThere are so many things going on in our modern lives, and change happens so quickly. It is hard to imagine a time when things were slower and you could really see a new thing come into your life and to remember the day or the year when those things happened. I know that today, for example, there are many instances of second and third generations of things, such as televisions or radios, when some of us were not even aware that there was a first generation. A friend of mine was born at the end of the last century, and talking to her, I really got a sense of her being a living history book, of being able to talk about the changes in her own life and to know that these changes were really the changes that society was going through.She gets really excited, for example, when she talks about the first time she ever saw a camera, and even more excited when she saw herself in the picture that the photographer took. She lived in a small town, and at the time that she was very young, there were no cars or trains in her town at all. As she grew up, cars and trains came in, and she remembers her first ride with a real sense of amazement that anyone could move so fast.Question 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What is the main idea of the passage?17. Why weren’t people even aware of the first generation of televisions or ra dios?18. How did the speaker’s friend feel about the invention of cars and trains?Passage TwoHurricanes are storms that often begin in the Atlantic near the equator and then move west. They often hit the islands of the Caribbean, the countries of Central America, Mexico, and the southern states of the United States between August and November each year. In a hurricane the wind blows at more than seventy-five miles an hour; it can tear trees out of the ground and the roofs off houses. However, the greatest damage in a hurricane is caused by water, by the heavy rain and high waves which come with the hurricane.The National Hurricane Center is located in Miami, Florida. The responsibility of the scientists at the center is to follow hurricanes and to warn the places that are in danger. They arevery successful; the number of people who are killed in hurricanes is now much lower than fifty or sixty years ago. In spite of all their experience, however, the scientists of the National Hurricane Center cannot always correctly predict the movements of hurricane. Sometimes a hurricane changes direction quickly and hits a place that is not prepared. People who ignore hurricane warnings and who do not obey police orders to move to safety can also cause problems. In 1969, in spite of many warnings, Hurricane Camille caused more than 300 deaths along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.Question 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Where do hurricanes begin usually?20. According to the passage, which of the following causes the greatest damage?21. Why were there still many deaths in Hurricane Camille?Passage ThreeTeen athletes have unique nutrition needs. Because athletes work out more than their less active peers, they generally need extra calories to fuel both their sports performance and their growth. Depending on how active they are, teen athletes may need anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 total calories per day to meet their energy needs. So what happens if teen athletes do n’t eat enough? Their bodies are less likely to achieve peak performance and may even break down rather than build up muscles. Athletes who don’t take in enough calories every day won’t be as fast and as strong as they could be. And extreme calorie restriction could lead to growth problems and other serious health risks for both girls and guys. Since teen athletes need extra fuel, it’s usually a bad idea for them to diet. Athletes in sports where weight is emphasized—such as wrestling, swimming, dance, or gymnastics may feel pressure to lose weight, but they need to weigh that choice with the possible negative side effects mentioned above. If a coach, gym teacher, or teammate says that you need to go on a diet, talk to your doctor first or visit a dietitian who specializes in teen athletes. If a health professional you trust agrees that it’s safe to diet, he or she can work with you to develop a plan that allows you to perform your best and lose weight. Question 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. Why do teen athletes have special nutrition needs?23. Why is it a bad idea for teen athletes to diet?24. When is the proper time to decide to start a safe diet?25. In order to achieve peak performance, what should a teen athlete care about in developing a nutrition plan?Section CMillions of Americans take part in adult education programs. Some adults are (26) completing high school, college or (27) graduate school work. They (28) attend classes designed especially for working people on weekends or at night. Other adults take classes by (29) mail or on their computers. For example, the Extended College of Arizona University is one of the many colleges now providing such (30) courses. Other adults learn skills like computer science or woodworking. Still other adult students learn to read or (31) improve their English.Some adult students are not trying to finish their education or learn job skills. (32) Instead, they want to (33) explore new interests. They want to learn to speak a foreign language, play a musical instrument or take good pictures. (34) They attend continuing education programs at a community college or public school, for example, Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland, offers many classes. They teach adults how to build a house or how to write their memories.(35) Education experts say the large number of retired Americans is a major reason for the popularity of adult education. These people say they want to continue developing their brains.Some programs for older adults include travel. For example, the nonprofit organization Elderhostel serve hundreds of thousands of people over age fifty-five. One Elderhostel program takes places in New Orleans, Louisiana. (36) This program teaches older adults about the culture of this famous city. Students travel there to learn about New Orleans food, music, history, art and building design.Today, more and more American adults are proving that education is not only for young people.Week 81—5 DBACA 6—10 BCDAB 11—15 ADDAA 16—20 CDBAB 21—25 BACBB 26. thrill 27. champion 28. slopes 29. marvel30. ceremonies 31. roars 32. parade 33. march34. A high point of ceremonies is the lighting of the Olympic flame. You may wonder why a runner carries a flaming torch to light the fire.35. The goal of Olympic athletes is expressed in their motto, “swifter, higher, and stronger.” By undergoing the stress and strain of tough competition, they grow in strength, endurance, discipline.36. Each Olympic year their creed reminds them that the most important thing in the Games is not winning, but taking part.Week 81. W: I have never seen such a wonderful movie. I hope you enjoyed it as I did.M: I must admit that I felt drowsy during the two hours.Q: How did the man feel about the movie?2. M: Could you tell me the timetable of the school bus?W: Well, the bus leaves here for school every two hours from 6:00 a.m. But on Saturdays it starts half an hour later.Q: When does the bus leave on Saturdays?3. W: I had prepared dinner for six people before Mary called and said that she couldn’t make it. M: That’s all right. I was just going to tell you I have invited John.Q: How many people are coming to the dinner?4. W: This is too much. I have been waiting for my meal for more than half an hour.M: I know, but you see the restaurant is full and we’re shorthanded today.Q: How does the woman feel?5. W: I’d like to make an appointment with Prof. Winston tomorrow.M: I’m sorry. Prof. Winston went on a one-week vacation in Hong Kong. He’ll probably be back next weekend.Q: Where is Professor Winston now?6. M: You call Mary a dreamer, but I think she has many good ideas.W: Good ideas are only useful if you can make something out of them.Q: Why does the woman think Mary is a dreamer?7. M: Tom must be joking when he said he planned to sell his shop to go to university.W: Don’t be sure. I don’t know how many times he’s told me that he wishes to go to university. Q: What does the woman mean?8. M: Of the two cars we have seen, which one do you think fits our needs better, the first one orthe second one?W: The second one. It seems very expensive, but in the long run it will save us a lot of money. Q: What does the woman say about the reason for her choice?Now you’ll hear two long convers ations.Conversation OneW: Hey, Steve, got any plane for tonight?M: Hi! Jane. No, I don’t think so. Why? Got any suggestions?W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibition of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I would have mentioned it earlier, but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn’t sure if I’d even get them.M: An exhibition, huh? I like such things. But I don’t know who Julia…W: Margaret Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s. She is interesting to art historians in general and students of photography in particular because she… how should I say, change the aesthetics for photography.M: What do you mean?W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know. Just capturing what a person looks like in a dispassionate thought of way. She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject’s personality.M: Interesting! How did she do that?W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture. Like one of those things she did was blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject. That’s pretty common now.M: Yeah, seems that way. Who did she photograph?W: Famous people of her day, Alfred Lord Tennyson. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin…, I don’t know who else. We’ll see at the exhibition.M: You really pick my curiosity. I am going to enjoy this.Question 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. What is the conversation mainly about?10. What did Julia Margaret Cameron emphasize in her portraits?11. According to the conversation, what unique photographic technique did Julia Margaret Cameron use?12. What did the man decide at last?Conversation TwoW: Hey, Jim. What a coincidence! Long time no see.M: Yeah, me too. Hey, just between old friend I got to tell you. You don’t look that well. Are you sick or something?W: Well, not really. It’s the same old story of the life of an overworked undergraduate student. I am up to my neck on this project. I am working on a project that has to be done by the end of the month.M: Can’t you speak to your professor about that? Maybe he would allow an extension and youwill then have some breathing space.W: Fat chance. My professor is one of those workaholic types and he expects everyone that works with him to be the same way. You know, sometimes he sleeps 4 hours a night but can still keep going during the day.M: Wow, sounds like your professor is really nuts. You know I don’t mind working hard but not to the point of killing myself. Hope you can get your project done without any hitches.W: What about you? I heard the faculty is building another building on campus. A big project it seems by the looks of things and nearly completed I think.M: Well, not quite there yet. They still have not decided whether they should move there or not. The Dean wants me to mark papers and do some administration work for them. I have to make a decision by the end of this week.W: That is a tough decision, isn’t it? I would jump on the offer if I had one. To work with some of these academic types must be interesting.M: Sure it is. I would not think twice if I didn’t have such a heavy load this semester. Besides, my girlfriend isn’t happy about my always spending time at school.W: I can understand how your girlfriend feels. Maybe you can ask for a light load. Perhaps you should request to work only on certain days.M: That’s true. Then I wouldn’t have to work under a workaholic professor anymore.W: Hey, Jim. Do you think I have any chance of getting some work there?M: Hmm… are you serious about working there? I thought you were joking.Questions 13 to 15 are based the conversation you have just heard.13. What do the two persons mainly talk about?14. What decision does the man need to make?15. What does the woman imply about her work intention?Section BPassage OneIn the US we have free compulsory public education for all children from grade 1 to grade 12. Children must stay in school through grade 12, or at least until they are 16. Public schooling is truly free: no book fees, no music fees, no athletic fees. Books are handed out at the beginning of the school year and must be returned at the end. Most schools supply paper, pencils, erasers, calculators, computers, art supplies and musical instruments.I have been a primary-school teacher for over 30 years. I teach English in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to pupils who are members of racial minorities. Currently I work with Haitian immigrant children who do not speak English when they enter school. Their families come from a country where violence is all too common. Haitian schools are often closed; indeed, in the past ten years, there has not been a single complete school year. Grinding poverty results in a very low level of literacy. Parents seldom have funds for books, paper or pencils. When the children of such families arrive in the US, they are woefully unprepared to compete with heir middle-class agemates.Question 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. According to the passage, what is true about the compulsory public education in the US?17. What’s the speaker’s profession?18. According to the passage, why could Haitian children speak English when they entered school?Passage TwoFrom this lookout we enjoy one of the most spectacular views of San Francisco. As you can see, the city rests on a series of hills varying in altitude from sea level to nine hundred and thirty eight feet.The first permanent settlement was made at this site in 1776. For thirteen years the village had fewer than one hundred inhabitants. But in 1848, with the discovery of gold, the population grew to ten thousand. The same year the name was changed from Yerba Buea to San Francisco.By 1862 telegraph communications linked San Francisco with eastern cities, and by 1869, the first transcontinental railroad connected the Pacific coast with the Atlantic seaboard. Today San Francisco has a population of almost three million. It is the financial center of the west, and serves as the terminus for trans-Pacific steamship lines and air traffic. The Port of San Francisco which is almost eighteen miles long with forty-two Piers, handles between five and six million tons of cargo annually.And now, if you will look to your right, you should just be able to see the east section of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge, which is more than one mile long, spans the harbor from San Francisco to Marin County and the Red Wood Highway. It was completed in 1937 at a cost of thirty-two million dollars and is still one of the largest suspension bridges in the world. Question 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. According to the tour guide, what happened in 1848?20. What is the population of San Francisco today?21. How much did it cost to complete the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge?Passage Three(00.6.)There are three groups of English learners: Beginners, intermediate learners and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about students who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn.A bank clerk, for example, wants to use the specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field, from airline pilots to secretaries, has its own vocabulary and many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for specific purposes or ESP and there is an ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents, and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.Question 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. If you are a beginner in English study, what should you do at first?23. Which group of English learners has a clear idea about what they want to learn?24. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?25. In Britain, what are the most popular ESP courses for?Section CYou can (26) thrill to the sight of the world’s ski (27) champions sailing through the air or racing down mountain (28) slopes you can (29) marvel at the skill and grace of expert ice skaters, swimmers, gymnast—you can watch our top athletes compete against the top athletes of other nations—all these you can do every four years, thanks to TV. Thus, you can have a front-row seat at the modern Olympic Games.You can view the opening-day (30) ceremonies on color TV, Bright flags wave, bands play, the crowd (31) roars its approval of the (32) parade of athletes. Nation by nation, the colorful groups (33) march by. Your heart beats fast with pride as you view the fine group headed by your own country’s banner.(34) A high point of ceremonies is the lighting of the Olympic flame. You may wonder why a runner carries a flaming torch to light the fire. That lighted torch came all the way from Olympia, Greece. It was relayed from hand to hand to the host country.(35) The goal of Olympic athletes is expressed in their motto, “swifter, higher, and stronger.”By undergoing the stress and strain of tough competition, they grow in strength, endurance and discipline. They learn to respect and to cooperate with people from many nations. (36) Each Olympic year their creed reminds them that the most important thing in the Games is not winning, but taking part. The oath they take binds them to abide by the rules of the Olympic Games, “In the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our country.”。

第三十四篇精品诵文I NTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATIONThe increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross- cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal purveyor of information and cash.In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator's position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short- term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long- term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.【四六写作必备句型及模板】Along with the advance of the society more and more problems are brought to our attention, one of which is that….随着社会的不断发展，出现了越来越多的问题，其中之一便是____________。

1、Much to Live For热爱生活，让生命的体验成为一段美丽的乐符。

翻开书页，睁开双眼，用心体会这优美的语言,聆听这智慧的声音。

There is so much I have not been, so much I have not seen. I have not thought and have not done or felt enough—the early sun, rain and the seasonal delight of flocks of ducks and geese in flight, the mysteries of late-at-night. I still need time to read a book, write poems, paint a picture, look at scenes and faces dear to me. There is something more to be of value—something I should find within myself—as peace of mind, patience, grace and being kind. I shall take and I shall give, while yet, there is so much to live for—rainbows, stars that gleam, the fields, the hills, the hope, the dreams, the truth that one must seek. I’ll stay here—treasure every day and love the world in my own way!2、Yao Ming: New Center Style“你怎么就知道我明年来就不是状元秀了呢？”——2001 年随国家队赴达拉斯集训，有记者问及“今年参加选秀有可能是状元，没参加是否遗憾”时如是说。

9) People usually stay out very late on New Year's Eve.新年夜，人们通常都出去到很晚。

* stay out “外出”Text ReadingNo one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demeaning to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of the whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth. There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a large, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual oneself If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in school, eliminates all envy and competition in a matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing,why would anyone strive to be better It is only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, eat the same type of food. When this happens, all incentive to improve one's life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating, and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Salespersons would be superfluous as well：why bother to sell the only items that are available The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. Our entire information and entertainment industries would founder.41、The author's viewpoint on uniforms can best be described as __________.A. PracticalB. HystericalC. RadicalD. critical42、Judged from its style, this passage might be found in __________.A. a children's comics bookB. an editorial in a paperC. a sociology textbookD. a political platform43、It can be inferred that the author believes that __________.A. individuals have no self-worth when they become part of an organizationB. individuals are more important than organizationsC. individuals are not so important as organizationsD. individuals are the same important as organizations44、The author brings in the example of a parent striving to make life better for his children to make the point that __________.A. parents have responsibilities for their childrenB. uniforms would be less expensive than clothing for childrenC. uniforms cause dissension between parents and childrenD. individual motivation would be destroyed by uniforms45、The last word of the passage "founder" probably means __________.A.

晨读晚练七年级下册英语

晨读晚练：七年级下册英语的探索之旅In the journey of academic exploration, morning reading and evening practice have always played a pivotal role in enhancing students' language proficiency. This article delves into the world of morning reading and evening practice for the seventh-grade English textbook, exploring its benefits and strategies for effective learning.**The Benefits of Morning Reading and Evening Practice**Morning reading is an excellent way to start the day. It not only primes the students' minds for the day's学术活动, but also helps them improve their pronunciation, vocabulary, and comprehension skills. By reading aloud, students can familiarize themselves with new words and phrases, and develop a better understanding of sentence structure and grammar.Evening practice, on the other hand, reinforces what was learned during the day. It gives students an opportunity to apply their knowledge through writing exercises, grammar drills, andspeaking activities. This consistent practice helps consolidate memory and improves fluency in the language.**Strategies for Effective Morning Reading and Evening Practice**For morning reading to be effective, it is important to choose materials that are engaging and age-appropriate. The seventh-grade English textbook offers a wealth of stories, poems, and passages that are both interesting and educational. Encourage students to read aloud, as this helps them internalize the language and improve pronunciation.For evening practice, a mix of written and spoken activities is recommended. Students can start by reviewing the key vocabulary and grammar points learned during the day. Then, they can move on to more challenging tasks like writing short essays, completing grammar exercises, or practicing speaking skills with a partner.**Incorporating Technology**In today's digital age, technology can be a powerful tool for enhancing morning reading and evening practice. There are numerous educational apps and online resources that provide interactive reading materials and practice activities. These tools can make learning more engaging and fun for students.**Conclusion**Morning reading and evening practice are integral to enhancing English proficiency among seventh-grade students. By incorporating engaging materials, effective strategies, and technology, we can create a rich and dynamic learning environment that fosters language development and academic success. As students embark on this journey of language exploration, they will discover the joy and power of communication through the beautiful language of English.**晨读晚练：七年级下册英语的探索之旅**在学术探索的旅程中，晨读和晚练一直是提升学生语言水平的关键。

I think Qinshihuang's decision accelerate (æk'seləreit) his dynasty's destruction(di'strʌkʃən).I have two reasons to support my opinion.Firstly，for building a great wall，he employed more than 100000 people，and it took at least 10 years tocomplete it. People is very angry，because those employee didn't receive any money.Secondly，for building the great wall，country spend a large of money，and lead to country financial (fai'nænʃəl) problem.

生活是最伟大的老师As I look across the horizon at the faces of the young people around me, I weep. A once proud part of the human race, the younger generation has been described as lazy, overemotional, and disrespectful.I myself used to have all three of these characteristics. Not when I was an adventure-seeking, rambunctious toddler, but as an older high school teenager.It was at this stage that my foolish rascal tendencies were at their highest. I would constantly complain, care for my friends more than my family, and in general would just talk all the time.Then came a moment when I wondered where I would end up. Would I remain on track to becoming a doctor like my parents wanted? Am I just going to keep acting like a child for the rest of my life?This moment would serve as the spark that set in motion a process of learning life lesson, molding me into the person you're reading through your computer screen.Since then, I've learned a great many things, but these are the lessons that I wished I'd stumbled upon earlier:1. Everyone's opinion matters only as much as you want them to.There was a time when everyone's opinion was mine as well. Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of another's. This most likely came from a need to please others.Remember that your opinion matters just as much as the next guy's, whether they make more money than you or are less popular than you. Everyone's opinion holds the same weight.2. Your emotions are under your control.Drama, chaos, and emotional unrest —these were what took up most of my time as a teenager. When everyone's obsessed with what's in and what's not, tempers flare; mine mostly.If I had heard someone said rotten things behind my back, I'd erupt. Go crazy. Looking back on those tantrums now, I'm not too surprised. After all, when you have little self control, anything is possible.The lessons here is, remain aware of how you react.3. Arguments are pointless.Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe? In my world it felt like it. I just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong. But in the end, it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration.Is there really a point to arguing? Unless it's absolutely necessary, I've learned that it's better to hold your breath on things you can't control at all.Arguing to change someone's mind is one of them.Writing 的承接词：first, firstly to begin withsecond, secondly to start withthird, thirdly what's morealso and thenand equally importantbesides in additionfurther in the first placestill furthermorelast last but not the leastnext besidestoo moreoverfinallyfor example for instanceto illustrate as an illustration after allas a matter of fact frankly speaking in this case namelyin other words。

7) The case, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls insistently for round-the-clock working of machines.例如有种情况，自动化工厂要求持续24小时的机器运转，因此日夜颠倒上班成了一个越来越重要的问题。

She turned her head, and our eyes met a momentary awareness in that raucous fifth grade classroom. I felt as though I'd been struck a blow under the heart. Thus began my first love affair. Her name was Rachel, and I mooned my way through the grade and high school, stricken at the mere sight of her, tongue-tied in her presence. Does anyone, anymore, linger in the shadows of evening, drawn by the pale light of a window-her window-like some hapless summer insect That delirious swooning, asexual but urgent and obsessive, that made me awkward and my voice crack is like some impossible dream now. I would catch sight of her, walking down an aisle of trees to or from school, and I'd become paralyzed. She always seemed so poised, so self-possessed. At home, I'd relive each encounter, writhing at the thought of my inadequacies. We eventually got acquainted and socialized as we entered our adolescence, she knew I had a case on her, and I sensed her affectionate tolerance for me. "Going steady" implied a maturity we still lacked. Her Orthodox Jewish upbringing and my own Catholic scruples imposed an inhibited grace that made even kissing a distant prospect, however fervently desired. I managed to hold her once at a dance-chaperoned, of course. Our embrace made her giggle, a sound so trusting that I hated myself for what I'd been thinking. At any rate, my love for Rachel remained unrequited. We graduated from high school, she went on to college, and I joined the Army. When World War II engulfed us, I was sent overseas. For a time we corresponded, and her letters were the highlight of those grinding endless years. Once she sent me a snapshot of herself in a bathing suit, which drove me to the wildest of fantasies. I mentioned the possibility of marriage in my nest letter, and almost immediately her replies became less frequent, less personal. Her Dear John letter finally caught up with me while I was awaiting discharge. She gently explained the impossibility of a marriage between us. Looking back on it, I must have recovered rather quickly, although for the first few months I believed I didn't want to live. Like Rachel, I found someone else, whom I learned to love with a deep and permanent commitment that has lasted to this day.56、According to the passage, how old was the author when his first love affair beganA.
