Note- taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident（自信的）when you are studying. _42_
If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that's great.

Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.
Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.
_44_ If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.
Comparing your notes with your classmates' can be good for your learning. _45_
Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.

In the 16th century, the Spanish took the potato from South America to Europe. But the people didn’t like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that their skins would look like the skin of the plant if they ate the potato. So they only ate the leaves. This made them sick because there is poison (毒药) in the leaves.
In the 1800s, people started to eat potatoes. Potatoes became the main food in Ireland. Then something unlucky happened. In 1845, a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger.

【2012广东茂名】C. 阅读下面短文，并从后面的文本框中为本文的①②③⑤段选择恰当的大意。
① In our lives, we sometimes say or do something that may hurt others. Then we need to apologize (道歉). Making an apology helps to improve an injured friendship.
② We are already familiar with some expressions for apologizing, such as “Excuse me” or
I’m sorry”. There are also other ways to apologize, such as “Pardon” and “I apologize”. When you have missed your have missed your friend’s party, you might say, “I was really busy that day and just couldn’t make it. I sincerely apologize.” When you get angry with someone and realize you are wrong, you may say, “I am sorry. I apologize for my poor attitude.”
③ When a person apologizes to you, it is necessary to reply politely, “It’s all right,” or “Never mind.” If the situation is necessary to reply politely, “It’s all right,” or “Never mind.” If the situation is more serious and the person is really sincere, you might say, “I understand how you feel,” or “We all make mistakes.”
Sometimes people apologize not for having done something wrong, but for the inconvenience they have caused. On the building under repair you may see sins reading, “We are rebuilding our store to serve you better. Please pardon our dust.” In the supermarket you may hear a salesperson say, “I’m sorry it has been sold out today. Would you please come tomorrow?”
⑤ People sometimes are embarrassed to make an apology, because they do not want to lose face. Yet there are ways to make an “indirect apology”. Making an apology on the phone is not a direct or very personal way of apologizing, but it is sometimes the best choice. If one is not so familiar with the other and they might feel there is a chance of unpleasantness, some “distance” is often safer and understandable.
Learning how to apologize is important in our life. We don’t lose face when we apologize. Instead, we’d lose face if we never say sorry for our mistakes.
A. How to give an answer to an apology
B. The ways of making an apology
C. Why should we make an apology
D. How to avoid (避免) a face-to-face apology

As the Internet becomes more popular, many older media (媒体) businesses are dying out. But TV seems to be doing OK. In fact, it's doing better than OK. Though the Internet is popular in the world, television continues to draw more and more people all over the world to many of its programs. Hundreds of millions turn to TV to watch World Cup soccer, Olympic Games and Discoveries.
In many places, increasing numbers of people can watch more TV than before. Ten years ago, only 44% of British homes had satellite or cable TV （卫星或有线电视). Today, more than 93% do. More importantly, recent studies show that people are spending more time watching TV. Surprisingly, this is even true of young people between the ages of 8 and 18. Today's television industry has given so many choices. As a result, people can watch more of the things they like 24 hours a day.
The technology behind television has also improved. The big boxes that once filled living rooms are gone. Today's TV screens are thinner and thinner, yet the pictures are better and better. TVs are also moving from living rooms into kitchens and vehicles.
For years, TVs have also been used as video game players. But now they have been used in a few new ways. Many televisions can connect to the Internet and record programs. They also let people watch two programs at the same time. Today the most modern television has been on the way of development.
The Internet is the main challenge (挑战) for television now. But TV industry has shown that television will be important for years to come.

What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open, First, Make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements (陈述句) and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here,” instead of, “Are you glad that you’re here?” Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more.
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times.
In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.

注意：每个空格只填1个单词
In the deserts of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest of
all foxes with the largest of ears. This animal is the fennec fox.
Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That’s big for an Animal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help shed(除去)body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great hearing.
it’s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn’t always warm. During the nighttime, a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec fox ’s fur keeps them warm those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens(兽穴).They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to their great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner,
Like other foxes, fennecs are omnivores. This means they eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruits and leaves best.
Fennecs fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12years.The cream coloration of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat. Still, they have to watch out for predators(捕食性动物).These include caracals(a type of wild cat),jackals, eagle owls, hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and sell as pet.

Most people want to be happy， but few know how to find happiness. Money and success do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness by ourselves. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
Another secret of happiness is to be active and have hobbies. They can help you forget your problems and lose track of time. Many people experience this by dancing, or playing a sport, such as snowboarding or soccer. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to help others. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do ： Never accept food or candy from strangers，never get in a car with strangers，and so on.
But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we，d never make new friends. We，d never get a job.①We may miss the joy that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can find.
The following passage offers you some advice on how to ②break the ice.
Don，t just stare at your shoes. Go and say “Hi” to that new guy. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.
British：Beautiful day, isn’t it?
The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it’s one of the topics the British care most about. And there’s a simple rule：Say “Yes” whether you agree with the person’s idea on the weather or not.③That’s because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.
French：Where did you go on holiday?
To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French employees(雇员）get more than six weeks of holidays per year.
American:So，where are you from?
The US is so big and people move so often that location is always a source (来源) of talk. You can try to find a connection with the place they’re from. For example, if someone’s from Los Angeles, you could say : “Oh, I have a friend who studied there.”

Many of the expressions using water have different kinds of meanings in English. “Throwing cold water” means “not to like an idea”. For example，you want to buy a new
car because the old one has some problems but your parents throw cold water on the idea， because they think a new car costs too much.
“Water over the dam” is another expression about a past event. It’s something that finishes and it can’t be changed．The expression comes from the idea———water has run over a dam and it can’t be brought back again . When a friend is troubled by a mistake he has made, you might tell him to forget about it．You can say “It’s water over the dam”.
“Be in hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble．One story says it got the meaning from throwing hot water down on enemies attacking a town．That happens no longer，but we still get into hot water.
When we are in hot water，we are in trouble．It can be any kind of trouble，serious or not serious．A person who breaks a rule can be in hot water with the police．A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in a house with dirty shoes.

Close your eyes. Think about a happy memory. What do you see? What do you smell? Do memories smell? Haraid Vogt and Avery Gilbert think so. Smell and memory are very important to them. Why? They sell smells.
Who do they the smells to? And how can they sella smell? Businesses come to Vogt and Gilbert for help. Vogt and Gilbert find a smell to go with the business’s product. For example, Vogt and Gilbert worked with and expensive hotel in New York City. They developed a smell like expesive cologne(科隆香水)for the hotel’s owners. Then they put it in the air of the hotel hallway. Why did they choose the smell of cologne? A lot of businessmen stay at that hotel. The hotel’s owners want their guests(客人)to feel like they are in an expensive men’s club. And rich men wear expensive cologne.
Using smell to sell things is not new. Bakers know that the smell of baking bread brings in customers. They always make sure that people on the street can smell the baking bread. Chocolate makers do the same thing. And of course perfume (香水)makers sell smells.
In the past, only the food and perfume businesses used smell to sell their products. But today, more and more businesses are trying it, from hotels to airlines(航空公司). Some companies put a special smell on the advertisement that they send to customers. For example, one car company uses a perfume on their booklet that smells like a new car.
But do smells really sell? The answer seems to by yes. Smells become a part of our memories. And memory is important in sales, why? When customers remember the name of a product, they usually choose it again. But there are a lot of choices these days, so it isn’t easy to remember product names. That’s why smell is important. It helps people remember.
In the future, will different computers and televisions have different smells? Vogt and Gilbert think so. They are sure that one day, most businesses will use smell to sell.

No one knows when the first house was built and who was the first one to build the house. But the houses are changing all the time.
61. What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects (建筑学家) believe that they may come true one day. The only thing for sure is the houses will be as green as possible in the future.
62. Many architects in the world would like to build a house like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even make fresh air for the room. The“root”(根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the room’s temperature.
63. Like a lizard (蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
64. This design is perhaps for the future of food. It has a garden on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
65. Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, the old ways of building houses can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to run out of the chimney.

Dragons can be friendly or fierce (凶狠), they can bring good luck or cause death, but one thing is sure--people talk about them almost everywhere in the world. For a creature that doesn't actually exist, that's quite something.
In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, although they can be ①unpredictable. The dragon was closely connected to the royal family: the emperor's robes (礼袍)have a symbol of a gold dragon with five claws. ②Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear dragon symbols, too, but with fewer claws and of a different colour. According to popular belief, if you were born in the year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.
But in the west, dragons had a different reputation （名声）. The very first text in English, the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight. However, across the border in Wales, the red dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national identity.
③Why should the dragon have a different character in different parts of the world? Some experts believe it is due to the animals that the myths grew out of. In the west, the idea of the dragon probably came from the snake--an animal which people hated and ④____ ____of（害怕）.
But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from the alligator--a shy animal which lives in rivers, but which is usually only seen when there is plenty of water--a good sign for agriculture(农业). So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of ⑤good fortune.
