It is important for us       English well.

A．studying          B．study             C．to study           D．studied

The holiday’s upon us．After months of study, you have some time to yourself．So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media（媒體）that offer a lot more colorful programs．Books are history!”

    But don’t be fooled．There’s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible．

    One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection of words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course．Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet．

    But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not: The webpage（網(wǎng)頁(yè)）is always full of pictures and the text is often designed（設(shè)計(jì)） to make it as easy to read as possible．

Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level．For that, there’s still no substitute（替代品）for a book．

But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself．You can choose what you want to read．It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure．

1． Compared with the Internet, a well-chosen book can help us________．

     A． spend our holiday as quickly as possible

B． develop our speaking skills in a short time

C． get new words and expressions more easily

D． make our life a lot more colorful than ever

2． The last paragraph mainly tells us that_______．

     A． we should buy books by ourselves         B． it’s easy to choose books

C． to read books must be our duty              D． reading can bring us pleasure

3． The passage mentions ________ reason（s） why we should read books．

     A． one                 B． two                C． three               D． four

　　Everyone should work hard every day. That's his duty. Everybody, when he is young, should learn some kinds of work. But is it enough? No, he should learn some kinds of other things. And he should do his best to do the jobs well. It's important that he doesn't waste his spare time. Diligence（勤奮）is as helpful as the habit of early rising. As we know, there is an English saying: “Lost time never comes.” This means that everyone should make use of his time. Everyone must study hard when he can work so that he may succeed in life. So we can say that diligence is the mother of success.

(2) It's very important for us ________.

Good morning, class!

We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colorful. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat(聊天) freely online with our friends. It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world.

But some students spend too much time in playing computer game and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Teenagers even get to have boyfriends or girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them to much time to chat online so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents.

At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We have different kinds of activities. If you are interested in sports, you can play basketball or football. We can go to the English Corner. We can practice talking in English there. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.

Thank you for listening to me. That’s all.
