    English is an important international language，but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn．①Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn,but they weren't always successful．

    In 1930，Professor C．K．Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English．It had only 850 words and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours．The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages，but they couldn't understand the answers in“real”English!

    R．E．Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that②对英语学习者来说最大的问题是拼写 ， so he invented a language with the name of Anglic．Anglic was similar③      English，but with much simpler spelling，"father'' became “faadher'' and “new'' became “nue”．Unluckily，Anglic never became popular．

  In the age of international communication through the Internet，a new form of English might appear．A large number of world's emails are in English and include examples of“Netlingo”like OIC(Oh，I see)and TTYL，(Talk to you later)．In another fifty years，English might not be used．We might all speak fluent Internetish !

Known as the "Paradise on Earth", Hangzhou is blessed with beautiful scenery.

① It lies in the west of the city. It is also called the Lake of "Xizi" a famous beauty in ancient China. Su Dongpo spoke highly of it in his poem: "It looks like the fair lady at her best, whether she is richly or plainly dressed." Whether it is sunny or rainy, misty or snowy, it is always so fascinating!

② It is a man-made wonder created by the Chinese people, which still remains in use for nearly two thousand years. It is 1797 kilometers long. It is from Hangzhou to Beijing. As the longest man-made waterway in ancient China, it plays an important role in the cultural communication between the north and the south. It also provides Hangzhou with a valuable chance to learn from other places.

③ It became famous before the West Lake. Every year in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the river tides will come rolling and roaring like powerful armies. As tides rose, ancient people would hold sports activities on the river, which are no less thrilling than sea surfing. On the upper stream is the Fuchun River, a quiet peaceful river in Fuyang District.

④ It is a rare secondary urban wetland, an ecological wetland and a cultural wetland all in one. As an international garden city, Hangzhou is a place where you can see green vegetations and bright flowers everywhere in every season.

⑤ Hangzhou is close to the sea. The Westlake used to be a lake linking to the sea, and became an interior lake only after dams were built around it. Most part of the urban area of Hangzhou used to be a bay. Today, Hangzhou Bay is linked to the East Sea, where a sea-crossing bridge has been built to span the bay.

Jellyfish and Crocodiles (水母和鳄鱼)

    Hi, my name's Ben. My family, Mum, Dad and I, live in Broome in Western Australia. Western Australia is about 80 times larger than Italy, but only 1.5 million people live there.

    It has a population of about 12,000. It's right on the coast and is known for its famous Cable Beach, which is 20 km long.

    We live in the town in a house with a large garden. We drive to Cable Beach and look for a quiet place to swim or to fish. We don't go swimming from October to March because there may be box jellyfish in the water. The box jellyfish is one of the most dangerous jellyfish.

    If you are attacked by one, the best thing to do is to pour vinegar (醋) over the area of your body where you are hurt. That's why we always take a bottle of vinegar with us.

    A year ago I went camping in the bush with my friend Bill and his dad. We wanted to do some fishing and set up camp about 20 metres from a river. Bill's father told us to get up and we quickly got out of the tent and ran to the car, which was only 10 metres away.

    Bill's dad started the car and turned on the headlights. In the light, we could see a big crocodile pulling the tent into the river!

How to realize your dream? Start by asking yourself what makes you happy. Think about all the things that made you feel excited and happy in the past.  You should think about what you want, not what you should do. Create a personal mission statement（任务说明). Mission statements aren't just for big companies.任务说明解释对你来说什么是重要的和你将去向何方。 Write down your past successes, the contributions you want to make to the world, and your short—term and long—term goals.

Re-examine your past goals. Try to forget the feelings of shame and regret. You are entering a new chapter of your life. It is important to examine your past experiences so that you don't repeat them. But it's also important to know your advantages（优点）in the past so that you can make them work for you in the future.

Write down your dream as a goal. Take a look at everything you have done—your happiness list, mission

statement and experiences from the past. Now begin to set up a simple and clear goal from these materials. Try to explain（解释）your dream in simple terms（术语）, using just one sentence（句子）. For example, a clear one sentence goal might be: “I will save more of my income each month so that I can take a nice vacation next summer."

你应该永远不放弃努力去实现你的梦想。The future is full of the unexpected（始料未及）.

The Awakening Age《觉醒年代》, a TV series telling the story of how the Party was founded(成立) in 1921 has become a hot topic and has won praise（赞扬）among lots of young people in China recently, who found the part of history inspiring（鼓舞人心的）.

The history of the birth and growth of the Communist Party of China (CPC中国) a century ago has drawn the interest of many young Chinese audiences（观众）. It is reported that some young audiences even look through history books while watching the shows to better understand them.

"I love the scene in which young Mao Zedong first appears（出现）in the series so much and have watched the two-minute video several times. He walks through the rain, shining like a light," one reviewer wrote.

Director (导演)Zhang said that the biggest pressure（压力）in making The Awakening Age comes from how to make it more accepted by young audiences in China, who have set very high standards（标准）for historical movies and TV shows.

Using the New Youth magazine as background material, the series linked Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, and Hu Shi, shining names in the history. Stories about how Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and other passionate youths（有志青年）pursued truth and explored knowledge were also included in the series. Those great men of that generation have great love for the family and the nation. These spirits, passing down from generation to generation, will continue to enlighten（启发）the young generation of today. Many audiences look forward to the sequel（续集）to the series, but Director Zhang says all the Chinese people today have already seen it and are enjoying it.

Answer the following questions with no more than 9 words.

One day a young man was standing in a crowded place, shouting that he had the most beautiful heart in the world. Most of the people who saw his heart were amazed at the beauty of his heart.

Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, "Oh, my son, your heart is not as beautiful as mine. "The old man showed his heart to the young man. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in. But they didn't fit quite right, and there were gaps and rough edges. Some places have never been filled in.

The young man laughed, " Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is full of scars."

The old man said, "Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart. Sometimes people give me a piece of their heart back, and it fills the space as best it can. Other times, I give my love and get nothing in return. Those are the empty spaces. They hurt, but they show me that I can love and love again." The young man stood still. He walked up to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.

The old man placed it in his heart, and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever.
