Reading an English newspaper is a good way to improve a student’s language ability. As there are many useful and common words in an English newspaper, it may help students increase their vocabulary as well as improve their reading skills. 【小题1】But what is the proper way to read an English newspaper? Do students need to look over all the content of the newspaper?

The first step is to choose a right newspaper with good language. Then turn to the front page and read the headlines to know what has happened. As the most important things are put on the front page, it’s easy to find out what you’re interested in and then turn to the page to read it completely. 【小题2】

Secondly, read newspapers every day. Remember words through context, in which these words may appear repeatedly. 【小题3】Don’t look up every unknown word in your dictionary. You can try to guess the meaning between sentences. 【小题4】Keep reading, and you will become familiar with the words after reading them several times in different texts.

【小题5】It can not only help us know what is happening in the world but also improve our language.

Many people believe that the only physical effect of living in a noisy place is having the occasional（偶尔的）headache. While headaches can happen because of too much noise, they are not the only effect loud noises can come to have on your health. Noise pollution creates problems for just about everybody.

Recent studies have shown a strong link between environmental noise and a person’s increased risk of high blood pressure（压力）. People who live in noisy places are also more likely to suffer from heart attacks and depression （抑郁症）. Noise pollution also influences children’s growth and learning development. In a noisy environment, children show lower understanding and reasoning（推理）skills.

Therefore, it is important for us to deal with noise pollution. One way is to fine noisemakers. However, some big companies might simply consider the fines to be a part of the cost of doing business. As a result, these fines may do nothing to change their noise-making practices.

Cities can help their dwellers replace old windows with soundproof （隔音的）ones. They can also build soundproof barriers（屏障）around highways and reduce traffic speeds in downtown areas.

There are also things each of us can do in our own communities. We can turn down the volume of our televisions, especially during the nighttime hours. Dog owners can try to prevent their pets from barking over long periods of time.

By taking action at both the citywide and the personal level, we can create a peaceful and livable world for all.

You may hear the word “love” every day. You may hear it from a parent, a friend, on TV or in a book.

【小题1】 You may use the word “love” about a song, a food or your family pet. You may tell family members you love them. As you can see, these are many kinds of love. But not all kinds of love created equal.

So what does love mean to you? 【小题2】 Love gives life meaning and purpose. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “where there is love there is life.” In the dictionary, love is defined as a strong, positive feeling you have for someone or something. 【小题3】 Because people show their love not just by what they say or feel, but by what they do.

As a core (核心), love is about being kind and doing good things for others. A famous saying describes how love is more than just a feeling, but the way you act and treat others. “【小题4】 It does not envy (嫉妒), it does not boast (吹嘘), it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

【小题5】 This allows us to love others no matter what. Showing love allows us to put the needs of others before our own.

So what are some ways that you could show love? It could be as simple as volunteering at a local soup kitchen. Maybe telling those we love how important they are! Consistently (执着坚持) showing love will build a habit and fulfill you as well.
