Please include your age and hometown. Come on, we know you have one.
To inspire(激励) you, here are reader-submitted questions we’ve published in previous issues:

六.任务型阅读
Words are the key to language. And if you want to improve your ability to speak, listen and write in English, you have to learn lots of words. Here are some ideas to help you.
1. Recording words
Important words
Some words are more important than other words. For example, the high frequency word (高频词) “rain” is very common and can be found in a number of important expressions. For example, rainbow, raincoat, rainforest, rainy, pour with rain... Where possible, pay special attention to the high frequency words and all their associated (有关联的) forms.
Sentences
When you want to record a new word or expression, remember to write it out in an example sentence. This will give you useful information about the way the word or term is used, and the other words often associated with it. For example, a) Rain--It’s been pouring with rain. b) Raincoat--I put on my raincoat.2. Learning words
Some words are easy to learn. For example, the English word “sofa” is similar in Chinese (sha fa). Other words are more difficult, but these ideas might help you.
Word sounds
Use the power of the similar sounds between words! For example, imagine you wanted to learn the word “Whale”. Simply think of a word that sounds like “whale” in English or in your own language. Then make a sentence with this word. For example, “The whale has a long tail.”
Funny sentences
Use the power of humour! Simply make a funny sentence with the word. This will help you remember the word more easily. For example, “William the whale was using his tail to sail the boat.”
Pictures
If you’re really having problems learning your word, draw a picture of your funny sentence. This will really help you remember it. And the funnier the picture is, the better!
Repetition (重复)
Finally, repeat the sentence many times to get it engraved (铭记) in your heart. Repetition is a fantastic way of memorizing things.
Try these methods and find your own ways to learn words and expressions.
____1____ to learn words
Introduction You need to learn lots of words if you want to improve your English because they are the ____2____ to language.
Ways To ____3____ words Pay attention to the ____4____ frequency words and their associated forms.Write a new word out in an ____5____ sentence.
To learn words Use the power of the similar ____6____ between words.Try to make a ____7____ sentence with the word.____8____ pictures to help you remember the words.Repeat the sentence many times ____9____ you remember it.
Conclusion Find your ____10____ ways to learn words and expressions.
七.根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。
A man had a garden. He planted a rose and watered it c____1____. Before the rose blossomed (盛开), he noticed many thorns (刺) around the bud (花蕾) and he thought, “H____2____ can any beautiful flower come from a plant with so many sharp thorns ” Because of this i____3____, he lost interest in this kind of plant, then he gave up watering the rose. And just b____4____ it was ready to blossom, it died.
Good qualities are just like roses. There is a rose in e____5____ spirit. The good qualities planted in us at birth, grow among the thorns---our weaknesses (弱点). Many of us look at o____6____ and we only see our weaknesses. We lose heart, thinking that n____7____ good can possibly come from us. We give up watering the roses in us, and slowly they die. We never realize the gifts of being a____8____ to find out our good qualities.
Someone may not see the rose in himself, s____9____ we need to help him discover the rose. With love, we can accept a person into our life, even though we know his true weaknesses. At the same time, we should encourage him to f____10____ his weakness bravely and correct them. Then he will blossom many times.八上 Unit 2 School life

二、1．D【解析】句意：对不起，我昨天把家庭作业落在家里了。forget意为“忘记”，不可和地点连用；leave意为“剩，留”。根据 yesterday 可知用一般过去时。故选D。
2．D【解析】句意：这本书我已经通读好几遍了，但为了更好地理解，我将更加仔细地读。根据句意可知，more carefully 意为“更加仔细地”，符合语境。故选D。

4．A【解析】句意：-经过三天没日没夜的工作，我累坏了。-为什么不放松一下你自己呢？出去走走，欣赏一下大自然的美景。“Why not do sth？”＝“Why don＇t you do sth？”意为“为什么不做某事呢？”；“What about doing sth？”意为“做某事怎么样呢？”；“Shall we do sth？”意为“我们做某事怎么样？”。故选A。
5．B【解析】spend 和pay的主语是人，而此句主语为“Doing morning exercises”，则C、D两项错误；cost 一般用于表示花费金钱，take一般用于表示花费时间。故选B。
6．D【解析】“make sb＋形容词”意为“使某人··．．”，则A、B两项错误；又因honest的发音以元音音素开头，所以不定冠词用an。故选D。
三、1． have enough time for after-school activities 2. seems to know little about 3. is different from that 4. much fewer mistakes 5. choose his favourite subject to study
四、1．A【解析】根据第一段中“The first part lasts 15seconds．”可知，铃声的第一部分持续15秒。故选A。

3．B【解析】根据最后一段中“Shen Huimin，a teacher at No. 8 Middle School, agrees that the new bell is creative.”可知，这位老师认为新铃声是富有创造性的。故选B。
4．A【解析】根据上文中“we usually wanted to add a few words after class, but we often forgot the time" 可知，老师有时会忘记下课时间，由此推测新铃声会提醒老师两次。因此 remind 意为“提醒”。故选A。
五、1．August 2. best 3.stay 4.visit 5.enjoy 6. meeting 7. travel 8. own 9. take 10.share
六、One possible version：
My school life
I love my school very much. It's very big and beautiful. There are three buildings and a library witha lot of books in it. We have lessons from 9:00 a.m.to 4:30 p.m. We have six classes every day. We have many subjects, such as Maths, Chinese, English, Computer and so on. My favourite subject is Chinese because I can learn a lot from my Chinese teacher. Every day I only need to spend about half an hour doing my homework, so I have enough time to take part in after-school activities. I often play badminton with my classmates after school.
I always have fun in my school.
