Some people believe that some star signs get along better with each other than other star signs.
Perhaps we should first start with those star signs that are incompatible(合不来
的). Aries and Leo are not a good match. 1 0f them are leaders. Aries is energetic and is not compatible with Leo because Leo is strong and confident. Als09 Pisces and Taurus are not a good pair. Taurus is practical and will not be 2 to wait for Pisces to stop 3 !
Perhaps the best choice of friend for Taurus is Capricorn Taurus can be stubborn and Capricorn is patient and will be prepared to wait for Taurus to change his or her 4 . Aries should get to know Pisces. Aries is active but Pisces is gentle and easy- going. They are a good match Leo can be matched 5- with Libra. Leo likes to give gifts and Libra likes beautiful things.
The perfect pair are Libra and Scorpio. Libra does not like t0 6 and loves peace. Libra will never ask Scorpio about his or her secrets. In addition, Libra will be quite happy to watch Scorpi0 7 things. Sagittarius and Gemini are also a perfect
match. Sagittarius loves to travel and Geminiloves t0 8 new things. Sagittarius has a good sense of humour and will enjoy 9 Gemini talk.
Virgo and Aquarius are a good match too. Sometimes, however, there can be problems in their relationship. Aquarius has many friends but Virgo worries 10 about meeting a lot of people.

The United States, Great Britain took the war (战争 ) on Iraq(伊拉克) in late March, 2003. 1 0ver twenty days American soldiers were in Baghdad(巴市),
the 2 of Iraq. They ended the government() of Saddam. 3 Iraqis died in the war. Saddam was 4 at first. No one knew 5 _ he's dead or alive.
In some parts of the city there was no light because of the war. Some oil wells(油 井) were set on fire. Now the Iraqis need food, water and 6 . Many soldiers and
people who were hurt in the war need medical care. People also need 7 to find their family members.
After the war, some Iraqis broke into Saddam's palace, government buildings, and stores. They _8 many things from Iraqi Museums. Other Iraqis are angry that the
U. S. soldiers didn't stop the robbers（抢劫者）. So far there is 9 no government of Iraqis.
The reason for American soldiers taking the war is that they are 10 weapons of mass destruction(大规模杀伤性武器). But by June 6th, 2003 they hadn't found any at all.

Many people think the more time is spent, the more work will be done. So students
have to spend the whole 1 doing schoolwork except the three meals. It is 2 to see students struggling(挣扎) in a sea of schoolwork both at school and at home.
Modern students usually have many -3 . They love music and sports. They like reading and watching TV. A two-day weekend can get them _ 4 from too much schoolwork, and they can do what they like. But still teachers do not think about it.
5 they have too much schoolwork, they have no time to enjoy themselves. Students are really tired of their weekend homework. So they usually don't do their weekend
homework 6 _ Sunday night. And there is not enough time but much work; students have to finish it carelessly. The _ 7 weekend homework makes teachers angry. Things always get 8 without right ideas. Too much schoolwork makes students lose interest in learning. It's also bad for their health.
A horse runs faster after a 9 . But for students only rest is not enough. So such a learning condition(学习氛围) should be 10 to give students both pleasure and knowledge.

Do you know how to study better and make your study more effectivec有效的) ? We all know that Chinese students usually study very hard for long l . This is very good, but it doesn't 2 a lot, for an effective student must have enough sleep,
enough food and enough rest and exercise. Every day you need to go out for a walk or visit some friends or some nice places. It's good for your study.
When you return 3 your studies, your mind will be refreshed（清醒） and you'll learn more 4 study better. Psychologists(心理学家) 5 that learning takes place in this way. Here take English learning 6 an example. First you make a lot of progress and you feel happy. Then your language study seems 7 the same. So you will think you're learning 8 and you may give up. This can last for days or even weeks, yet you needn't give up. At some point your language study will again take another big 9 . You'll see that you really have been learning all along. If you get enough sleep, food, rest and exercise, studying English can be very effective and

Many of you are studying English and you may be l why it is so difficult to learn It's actually not too difficult to learn 2 you know some 3 about the
language and culture that it reflects（反映）. Perhaps.the first thing you need to know about English is that it is made up of several other languages, 4 French, German, Latin, Greek and Anglo-Saxon In addition, there are words 5 Spanish in English
and many American Indian words and names, even some Chinese and Japanese 6 can be found in the English language. This borrowing of words 7 0ther languages is 8 0f the key reasons _ 9 people meet with (遇到) some of the difficulties _ 10 they are learning English.

Have you ever seen the advertisement: Learn a foreign language in six weeks9 1 give your money back? Of course, it 2 happens quite like that. The only language easy to learn is the mother language. And think 3 practice is needed for that. Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language to study
the literature（文学） of the country. Now most people want t0 4 a foreign language. Every year millions of people start learning it.
How do they do it? Some people try at home 5 _ books and tapes, others go to evening classes or watch TV programs. If they use the language only twice or three
times a week, learning it will 6 a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 0r _ 7 hours a day. It's much
easier to learn the language in the country where it 8 . But most people are _9 to do this, and many people don't have to do so. Machines and good books will be very
helpful, but they can not do the students' work. 10 the language is learned quickly or slowly, it depends on hard work.

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history,
geography, physics, chemistry and maths. Others go to school to learn a skill so that
they can l a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he 2 , can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's job is to show his students how to read and how to _ 3 . So much more is to be learned 4 school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by 5 than to memorize(熟
记)some facts or formula(公式). It is 6 quite easy to learn a 7 fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in 8 0ut a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn't learn many things from school. But they were all so successful that they invented so many things for mankind.
The 9 for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not 10 _ at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of researches.

It's never easy to admit(承认) you are wrong. We all l to know the art of apology. Think how often you've done wrong. Then count how many times you've expressed clearly you were 2 . You can't go to bed with an easy mind if you do 3 about it.
My friend, a doctor, Mr Lied, told me about a man who came to him with different kinds of signs: headaches, heart trouble and insomnia (失眠). After some careful exams, Mr Lied found nothing 4 with him and said, \"If you don't tell me what's worrying you, I can't help you. \" The man admitted he was cheating his brother of his
inheritance(遗产). Then and there the clever doctor 5 the man write to his brother and 6 his money. As soon as the _ 7 was put into the post box, the man suddenly cried. \"Thank you,\" he said to the doctor, \"I think I've got _8 . \"
An apology can not only save a broken relationship(关系) but also make it 9 . If you can think of someone who should be 10 an apology from you, do something about it right now.

Different colours usually stand for different feelings. Red, for example, is the
colour of fire, heat, blood and life. People say red is an exciting and active colour. They associate(使发生联系) red with a strong feeling like l . Red is used for signs of 2 , such as STOP signs and fire engines. Orange is the bright, warm colour of
leaves in autumn. People say orange is a 3 colour. They associate orange with happiness. Yellow is the colour of 4 . People say it is a cheerful colour. They
associate yellow too, with happiness. Green is the cool colour of grass in spring. People say it is a refreshing colour. In general, people 5 _ two groups of colours: warm
colours and cool colours. The warm colours are red, orange and _ 6 . Where there is warm colour and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. Those who like to be with 7 like red. The cool colours are 8 and blue. Where there are these
colours, people are usually worried. Some scientists say that time seems to go by more slowly in a room with warm colours. They suggest that a warm colour is a good . 9 for a living room or a 10 . People who are having a rest or are eating do not want
time to pass quickly. Cool colours are better for some offices if the people working there want time to pass quickly.

Many people think that Americans l their cars almost more than anything else. When 2 people are fourteen years old, they want to have their 3 cars. They don't ask for a car from their 4 . So many of them work in 5 time during their last year of high school to buy a car. Learning t0 6 and getting a driver's license may be one of the most exciting things in a young person's life.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story 1
their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a 2 children's book. Either the author has aimed (定目标) too high, so that children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 3 the story seems to be talking to the readers. The best children's books are 4 very difficult nor very simple, and can satisfy c令人满意的) the child who hears the story and the adult(成年人) wh0 5 it.
Unfortunately(不幸的是), there are in fact few books like this, 6 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not easy to solve. This may be why many of the books
regarded as 7 0f children's literature（文学） were in fact written for 8 . Alicein Wonderland is perhaps the most obvious(明显)of this.
Children, left for themselves, often are not interested in literature. Just leave a
child in a bookshop or a 9 and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative(并非想象的 ) way, or have a look at the most children's comics（连环图 书） , full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop 10 to brainwash() children into accepting (接受) our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so different that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise(妥协)over the bedtime story.
