Its not that they dont want to learn it well, but that they dont know how they can learn it well and how they can pass the exams. Here are some suggestions from a teacher. A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day in a year. You may fail in an exam if you are lazy for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam. If you want to be good at English, you have to read stories in English. And speak English as much as possible. A few days before the exam, you should go to bed early. Do not go to bed late at night studying. Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question papers, and try to understand the exact meaning of each question. When you have finished your exam at last, read over your answers. Correct the mistakes if there are any, and make sure that you dont miss anything out.51. The reason why many students complain about learning English is_.A. they have no interest in learning EnglishB. they dont know the importance of learning EnglishC. they dont have good methods in learning EnglishD. they dont have enough confidence（信心）52.

You may volunteer to help other people, but you can also volunteer to protect animals, the environment, or any other things that you care about. Volunteering helps others, but it can also help you .If youre worried about something thats happened, doing something can be a great way to deal with（处理）your feelings. Volunteering can let you see your own life in new ways. Sometimes its easy to worry about things like grades or get angry because you dont have the most expensive shoes or the newest computer game. Volunteering lets you spend some time on others for a while. Lots of people find that they really enjoy volunteering. Volunteer experiences often put you in a different environment. Doing volunteer work means one very important thing: You make a difference in the world. Volunteering is a great way to have fun with your family, and here are some ideaas on how you can do together. Clean up a park, or a road along a river.Plant trees or flowers in your community（社区） Serve food at a homeless shelter（收容所） Give meals to people who are elderly or ill at home. Clean up a school or other public buildings. Some schools now require（要求）kids to spend some of their time on service to others. Volunteering gives kids a taste of responsibility, because people are depending on them for something important. Volunteering also can help kids learn important things about themselves. A volunteer job can even help some kids decide what they want to do when they grow up. So what are you waiting for? Make a plan to start volunteering today!55. To be a volunteer is useful to some students because_.A. they would like very much to buy expensive shoesB. their schools ask them to spend more time serving othersC. it can help them make their own decisions when they grow upD. they can serve food at homeless shelters56.

We can infer（推断）from the passage that_.A. many people dont like volunteer jobsB. doing volunteer jobs is a waste of time for kidsC. kids can have different values(价值观)because of volunteeringD. the author doesnt support（支持）volunteeringDAre you in shape? To find out, ask yourself some questions: Do I exercise regularly? Do I ever walk places instead of driving my car? Do I ever play sports for fun? Do I ever take the stairs instead of the elevator（电梯）?If you answered no to any of all of the above questions, you are probably out of shape and need to start a fitness program.Exercise is very important. It improves your strength and blood circulation（循环）.It gives you more energy. It can help you relax and sleep well, and it can help control your weight. In fact, the U.S. Surgeon General says that exercise can help prevent heart disease, obesity（肥胖症）,and osteoporosis（骨质疏松症）.The first step is to make a program. A good fitness program should be fun. It should involve（包含）both your arms and your legs, and it should help you to build endurance（忍耐力）.To make a good program for yourself, first you should think about the types of activities you like to do, what you think you are able to do, and when you will have time to do it. A good exercise program will involve cardiovascular（心血管的）activities, such as running, biking, swimming, roller skating, playing soccer or tennis, or jumping rope. It will also involve weightlifting exercise, and stretching activities. In addition, daily low-intensity（低强度）activities such as walking, gardening, dancing, and climbing stairs are good for your physical health.So what are you waiting for? Get off the sofa and start exercising. Sign up for yoga（瑜伽）,tai chi, or Pilates（普拉提，一种健身运动）.Join a gym or a running club, or just start walking half an hour every day. Every little bit helps!59.
