Have you ever tasted your favorite Kool-Aid on a hot summer day? It tastes like the best thing in the world. Believe it or not. this kind of drink was invented by a little boy.

Edwin Perkins was a child in Nebraska. He liked to mix things together in the kitchen to see how they would taste. He loved to study chemistry and tried to invent things. His father owned a little store in his hometown. This was during the time that Jell-O was first introduced to the public. Edwin really liked the new product.

When he was about eleven years old, he got a book that would show him how to mix things together. He was very interested in how things worked or tasted once two or more products were mixed. When he was a little older, he asked for a kit(裝備)that would give him ideas and instruction on becoming a manufacturer(制造商), which is someone who makes things with their hands or machines.

If some people say that they can help improve your English after you buy their books, don't go for them. Improving spoken English is a matter of practice and right guidance.

For improving your communication skills, you should first of all be comfortable with grammar. Many people think learning grammar is very boring, but grammar is useful for getting a good hold of what you speak. So if you are weak in grammar, I suggest that you go and get a grammar book. Don’t worry if you cant remember everything. No one can remember everything in grammar. Just get a good hold of it. That should be enough for the basic preparation.

Talk with people around you in English. Try to talk as much as possible with your classmates or teachers in English. This will help you get self-confidence(自信). Break down all barriers that stop you from doing so. Make good friends, and talk with them in English.

If possible, join an English class. This is often helpful as the teachers drive you for good communication skills. What's more, you get on well with your classmates. You can talk freely and have no feeling of shame, and the learning process is very fast.

Reading English also helps, as you get used to different English words and your grammar gets improved. Get a proper English book to start reading. A novel in English is also helpful, but novels may have many slang words(俚語詞),which might have a bad influence on your grammar. But anyway, I suggest going for it. In this world there is nothing free, and if you are learning something, then you have to accept the disadvantages of it.

1.According to Paragraph 2, what should we do if we want to improve our communication skills?

A. Learn English grammar well.

B. Speak English as often as possible.

C. Get a lot of practice and right guidance.

D. Remember everything important in English.

A. 信息 B. 方法 C. 經(jīng)歷 D. 障礙

B）請(qǐng)閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容從下面方框中的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選擇五個(gè)還原到文中，使短文意思通順、結(jié)構(gòu)完整。

Now there is a family problem. 1. In fact, we are probably 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.

Most people always always think that they have offered the best things to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes. expensive school things, and often a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything that they can for their dear children. 2. 3. Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what we want is a true family. 4. I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we will be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.
