How Can I Fight Laziness?

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

1       Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2       Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (誘惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3       Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.

Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. . Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 4       Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.

5       Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

   A. To fight family laziness,set an example.

   B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

   C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

   D. Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

   E. With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.

   F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.

   G. Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.

懶惰的人總是一事無成。然而，懶惰是可以被戰(zhàn)勝的。

1. C考查總分關(guān)系。本句承上啟下。上文說到懶惰是可以被戰(zhàn)勝的。這里緊接著說，辦法之一是要有足夠的睡眠，下文緊接著講睡眠的重要性。

2. F考查遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。本段說道：另一種戰(zhàn)勝懶惰的方法是將你的想法變得積極。

4. A考查轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。本段說明懶惰可以傳染，戰(zhàn)勝懶惰也可以互相感染，因此，戰(zhàn)勝家庭中的懶惰應(yīng)樹立榜樣。

5. D考查順承關(guān)系。最后一條建議是通過運(yùn)動來戰(zhàn)勝懶惰，選項(xiàng)D中關(guān)鍵詞"finally"，特別是"exercise"在本段和選項(xiàng)中有很好的照應(yīng)。

To be a good teacher,you need some of the gifts of a good actor―you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience;1       with a good,strong,pleasing voice which is fully under your control;and you must be able to act what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher,and 2      ;he stands the whole time for his explanations,using his face to express his feelings. Listen to him,and you will hear the loudness,the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

The fact that 3        doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to repeat words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words. Each time he plays a certain part,even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. 4      

A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions;they obey orders,and if they don't understand something,they say so. 5       He cannot learn his part by heart,but must invent it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in a stage play because they could not keep strictly to what other people had written.

   A. you must be a clear speaker

   B. Teachers are very important for students.

   C. a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor

   D. you will see that he does not sit still before his class

   E. A good teacher must learn from a good actor on the stage.

   F. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience.

   G. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions natural on the stage.

I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. What we all know,a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class,students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking. However,there were problems to this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties,I still believe the practice makes perfect. With enough practice,we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.

Sharks have been around for hundreds of millions of years. 1       Some sharks live near the surface,some live deep in the water,and others on or near the ocean floor.

We tend to think of sharks as big dangerous creatures. We sometimes read about shark attacks in the newspapers,and in1975 the film Jaws terrified moviegoers with the story of a great white shark which attacked holiday makers in a small seaside town in the USA. 2       It can reach 6 metres in length and up to2,000 kilograms in weight. It has as many as3,000 needle sharp teeth,so it can sever (割斷) a man's leg in a single bite.

But not all sharks are like the great white. 3       There are almost400 species of sharks and more than half of these are under a metre in length. The biggest sharks of all are not at all dangerous to humans. The basking shark and the whale shark grow to around 12 metres,but they are quite harmless.

4       Among all these sharks,the bull shark is the one that is most likely to attack people. It swims in very shallow waters where people swim. 5       Indeed you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or by bees than by a shark,and some scientists believe that sharks only attack people because they mistake them for their favourite food.

   A. The pigmy shark,for example,is only about 20 centimetres in length.

   B. Less than one hundred people are attacked by sharks each year.

   C. A shark is a large fish considered to be dangerous to humans.

   D. Only about 25species are dangerous to people.

   E. The great white is certainly a fearsome creature.

   F. We can never imagine such things can happen.

   G. They live in oceans and seas all over the world.
