As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that effective（有效的） measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward(提出) practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funds（基金） ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection. For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze（微风） touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tries his best to protect natural environment from today on.
Popular culture has a strong influence on language. Expressions that come from movies and television shows can be especially powerful.
When we use expressions that come from a movie or television shared by others, it can create a feeling of closeness with them. If someone says a line（台词） from one of your favorite movies, it is kind of like you both belong to the same club.
English has many such phrases that have found their way into common usage. Today we talk about a water-based phrase and useful adjectives that relate to it. In the movie Finding Nemo, Dory is a friendly, helpful, optimistic fish. She becomes friends with Marlin, a clown fish who has just lost his only son. Dory offers to help Marlin find Nemo. The search is very difficult. Along the way, they face bloodthirsty sharks.
Every time Marlin feels like giving up, Dory says, "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. "With these words, Dory is telling her friend that he should not give up.
At some point, we all face a difficult situation. We may feel frightened, sad or just overwhelmed. And we may want to give up. But then a friend says, "Just keep swimming," and it gives us the hope we need to reach our goal.
Another expression, to keep your head above water, expresses a similar message.
Don't drown. Take action to survive, even if that is all you can do.
English has some great adjectives to describe people and things that do not give up. One is resilient. Resilient people do not give up in the face of adversity(逆境）. "Resilient" can refer to things, also. For example, a tree that keeps growing even after lightning strikes itcould be called a resilient tree. Another adjective to describe someone who will not give up is indefatigable. So, would I say "just keep swimming" in a very serious situation or to a very serious co-worker who I don't know well? Probably not. But we have other words of encouragement. You can say "Hang in there!" or "Don't give up!" When we use expressions
or phrases from movies or television shows, it is a way of sharing culture with another.
B . influences of popular culture on language
C . ways to encourage people in difficult situations
D . words and phrases to express "do not give up"
Interested in building a schoolyard habitat（栖息地）?
Gather a Team
Students can do a lot on their own, but you'll need adults for a project this big. Get teachers, parents, and even the headmaster interested. They know more about your school's yard than anyone else and can give you lots of help.
Which part of the schoolyard can you turn into a habitat? Is there an unused corner of the playground? You'll need to make a map of the area showing what's there now. Then you can figure out how you want to change it. For that, you need a plan.
Plan a Habitat
Food: Plant flowers, bushes, and trees. These provide food for birds, insects and small animals. Where possible, stick with native plants—wild plants that grow naturally in your area. They need less care, which means less work for you.
Water: A small pond, birdbath, or even a shallow dish of clean water in the ground will attract birds.
Shelter: Bushes and trees make great escapes for birds. Tall grass and "weeds" are home to grasshoppers, garter snakes, and some ground-nesting birds.
Places to Raise Young: Butterflies need special plants to lay their eggs on. Frogs lay eggs only in shallow water. Many birds use birdhouses; others nest in trees and bushes.
A. Map Your Site
B. Build Your Design
C. Here's how to get started.
D. So, set a date and get growing.
E. Here's what you'll need to make your area attractive to wildlife.
F. In fact, nearly all your shelters may become homes for wild young.
G. Also, ask around your neighborhood or others willing to give advice.
Fear started taking over. I was walking into my first 1in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to2my parents, who had been here for three years ,hoping America would help my future. My father 3I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled （注册）in the 4high school in my new town.
I had no idea what to do. I didn't 5 anybody in my class. On the first day, with 6, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Everyone's eyes were on me as I entered the room. 7paying attention to them, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the 8class. With a soft voice he answered, "Yes. "His voice made me feel a little 9. He gave me a piece of paper called Course Requirements. Then he asked me to 10where I would sit. In India we had appointed seats. I spent the rest of the class taking 11 from the images by the overhead projector(投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn't 12the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
13 it was my first day, I was confused which hallway to use, but I 14to get to my classes without asking anyone, I wasn't quite sure when I would have lunch. When the lunch bell rang, I headed for the cafe. Every15seemed like an obstacle(障碍) I had to 16to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I got on my bus and sat down inside17. I was thinking, today wasn't so bad.
As time passed that year, I developed some18and started to love my school. Here, the teachers had a fun way of making things so19that a three-year-old could do them. The main difference I found in America is the amount I learned each day. 20these educational opportunities I feel I am the luckiest person in the whole world.
I was born in a town called Blackburn, in the northwest of England, and lived there till I left home the age of eighteen. My parents had moved to England from India during 1970s.
As a child, I went to my local school and, of course (speak) English with a local accent. But home was very different: we lived in a kind of "little India"， with a huge extended family of uncles and aunts. I remember (feel) part of this big thing called "family"， and an even (big) thing called "India". I suppose my family (real) influenced me while I was growing up. They used to talk about India as "home" — even at that time I had never been there!
To me, it doesn't seem at all strange to grow up as part of two cultures. I am always thinking that growing up with two cultures is a gift, not a (advantage). Now as a mother, I want my child (get) in contact (接触) with her Indian roots too, so we are planning to visit there later this year. All her Indian (cousin) are expecting to meet her!
Dear Smith,
I'm very happy to have you as our English teacher.
Which is known to us all, mastering English mean we can see the world through a new window, but we are willing to learn it well.
My English is just OK and the two main problems are that I feel difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervously when speaking English. I really hope that you can give them more good advice on how to memorize new words. Another suggestion was to give us more chances to practise our speaking English. I believe we can make a great progress in English under your help.
Yours,
Li Hua
