Put 2 February in your diary! It is World Wetlands Day! It marks the date that the
Convention(公約) on Wetlands was signed(簽署)in1971.This special day was first celebrated in 1997 and it is celebrated every year.
The celebration is a call for action. It is a way to show people how important and
useful the wetlands are for people. On World Wetlands Day, people around the world take
part in many wetlands activities. People take trips to the local wetlands. There are talks
about how important the wetlands are. People get together to clean up their local wetlands
Children draw pictures to advertise the day. People also compete(比賽)in boat races.
The World Wetlands Day is important! If there are no wetlands, there will be no water for anyone in the future. Wetlands help protect nature and resources(資源)like fresh water. Already,  more than 10000 million people in the world do not have fresh water.
Many people do not know how important the wetlands are. They can understand why an
elephant or a tiger is important because they are big, beautiful animals. It is much harder for
them to understand how important the animals in the wetlands are. These small animals,
such as frogs and snails, play a very important part in keeping the balance of nature.
All plants and animals are part of the food chain(鏈).If the small wetlands animals
die, some animals in the food chain will have nothing to eat. They will also die. People
need the wetlands to keep the balance of nature in the world. If we do not protect nature
today，it will be gone tomorrow.

Dear Liz，
My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life． 
Life is busy and exciting．Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10  million and heavy traffic．I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside  the city．There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who  is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma．  
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda．The school teaches about 70 percent  in English，and 30 percent in Thai. I've learned some spoken language，but Thai writing is very difficult．The cooking lesson is my favourite．I'm learning all about Thai food and culture People don’t use chopsticks here，but spoons and forks．When I come back，I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal．   
Last weekend we visited some temples．We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok．I  thought it was great，but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket  Island，where the beaches are even more beautiful．The month after next，we’re going to travel  to Mr．Phairat，s hometown in the north of Thailand．The Phairats own land there，and they  have two elephants．I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them．Sanan and  Chinda say it’s really fun．   
I'm amazed by everything in this country，especially by the elephants．Elephants are an  important pan of Thai culture and way of life．They have been a traditional symbol(象征)of  Thailand for many years in times of war and peace．In the seventh century，a Thai king trained 20，000 elephants for battle．
I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳擊)lessons next time I write．
Love,
Mandy

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容按要求完成任務(wù)。（共30分，每小題2分）
No one is born knowing how to study. You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them. Here are six ways of studying smartly.
Listen carefully in class. When you listen carefully in class and take good notes, you are starting learning carefully. Are you sitting next to a loud person? Is it hard to see the blackboard clearly? Tell your teacher or parents about this kind of problems.
Take food notes. Not sure how to take notes? Start by writing down what your teacher says or writes on the blackboard during class. Try your best to write clearly so you can read your notes later.
Plan ahead （提前作計劃）. It is bad to wait until Thursday night to study for Friday’s exam. You should plan ahead. Write down the date of your exam. You can plan what to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each subject.
Break it up（拆開）。 When there’s a lot to study, it can help you to break things into units. If you have an exam on spelling words, break them up into five-word units and work on one or two different units each night.
Ask for help. Ask your teacher for help if you don’t understand something. If you’re at home, your mom or dad might be able to help.
Have a good sleep. A good sleep is good for your next day’s study.
小題1:How many ways to study smartly are there in the passage?
小題2:What is the first step(步驟) of starting learning and studying?
小題3:What could you do if you have a lot to study?
小題4:Who can you ask for help when you don’t understand something at school?

If you want to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate or speed(速度)of reading:
First, knowing why you are reading and what you are reading to find out will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.
Second, some things should be read slowly. Examples are directions for making or doing something; arithmetic(算術(shù))problems, science and history books. They are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each idea.
Third, some things should be read rapidly. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, news, letters from friends, items or bits of news from local or hometown paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.
Fourth, in some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow, and slow to fast, as you read. You’ll need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which should be remembered.
