Every year, many foreign students go to America to study English. Some of them will live in an American family, but others will make a different decision. They’ll live with friends who come from their own country. I believe that if a foreign student thinks carefully about the two ways, he’ll decide to live with an American family. Even though there are one or two disadvantages (不利之处) to the first way, there are far more advantages.
In making his decision about how to live in the USA, the foreign student is careful to think about one or two disadvantages to live with an American family. First of all, he must know that he’s going to feel homesick (想家的) at first. Living in an American family may make this feeling become stronger. Also, the American family may do too much to take care of him. They may ask him where he’s going, when he leaves home, and when he’ll return.
If a foreign student lives in an American home, he’ll know the country and its people much better. For example, he’ll see how the parents teach their children. He’ll feel better because the American family will help him get used to a new life. In an American family, he can learn English fast. Family members can help him with his homework. When he speaks English, they can help him correct the mistakes he has made. In this way, he can learn English more easily.

25、 The high school entrance examination in Chongqing, or zhongkao, will be put off by a month. That is to say, students will get another month to review. However, it's still a challenge for them to face zhongkao. So we interviewed some teachers from Chongqing No.1 Secondary School about how to prepare for the exam. Let's take a look.
Mr. Yang (Chinese teacher): Learning Chinese should be a lifelong business. Although zhongkao will be put off by a month, it's not the reason for you to waste any minute.

Mr. Wang (math teacher): You should pay much attention to your mistakes in your exercises. Keep all the papers you did in the past and be serious about correcting your mistakes. Those are the most valuable materials for you to think about and review over and over again.
Ms. Zhu (English teacher): Make "Time" our friend and make every moment count. For example, you can make a timetable for your study. And make good use of your morning reading time to help memorize words. Memorizing words in your spare time is also a good choice. Then, do more English reading, especially the reading from the real zhongkao papers.
Mr. Liu (physics teacher) and Mr. Guo (chemistry teacher): Keep your cool and you can progress day by day. While you are organizing what you've learnt, don't forget to think about the ways to solve physics and chemistry problems. At the same time, learn to infer other things from what is known by thinking hard.
Mr. Liu (history teacher) and Mr. He (politics teacher): You should be very clear about every knowledge point. Then, try to find the difference between similar concepts (概念). Making a summary and having a deeper understanding are the basis (基础) of your progress in exam performances.

Liu is not alone. This is a new test for all students who are taking senior high school entrance exams (中考)in Beijing.

Though it was hard at the beginning, it's a good thing,” Liu said. He got a low score when he first took it last semester. But he kept working hard in order to improve his pronunciation and other skills. He practiced speaking in front of a mirror every day. Later, he got a score of 39 on the test.

27、On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash was taken out from there.
“We did a good job,” said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. “We’re planning to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won’t be so much trash next time.”

No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he’d sell it. Then he’d donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favorite ice cream every day.
