四、幾種不良傾向

　　1、有人認為高考成績高就行了，不練說也沒關系。其實我們現在學習英語已不僅僅是為高考了，而是要為高考后的生存與發展做準備，也為個人與社會大環境接軌打基礎。更為個人向國外發展作必要的準備。

　　2、有人認為多做題就能解決問題。人們常說：量的積累可達到質的飛躍。但是盲目地追求數量而忽視質量是不可取也是無效的。死扣語法不重視在一定的語境中體會、運用知識也是不正確的。

　　3、有人常立志而不是立長志。英語學習最怕“三天打魚，兩天曬網”。高興了干一陣，進步了就停下。走走停停只能導致成績的起伏不定，最終導致興趣降低，自信心喪失，造成惡性循環。

　　4、有人只會做或者是只做老師要求干的事。進入高中階段，走向成熟的表現在學會自己學習，要學會安排自己的學習內容，要學會支配自己的學習時間。

五、學好英語，上好英語課的幾個環節

　　1、盡快適應新環境、新同學、新老師，盡快適應高中學習。

　　2、課前認真做好預習工作。因為課時緊，內容多，強度大。不認真預習，課上會很被動。預習要做到認真聽錄音，模仿，掌握準確的語音、語調，了解單詞意思，課文內容，找出疑難問題。

　　3、課上認真聽講，積極參與課堂活動，給自己更多的機會鍛煉聽、說能力，認真適當地記筆記。高效率聽課，才能有高水平的收獲。

　　4、課后要及時認真復習，按時完成作業是首要的。復習是為了鞏固課堂知識，同時也應適當地做一些練習。遇到沒有理解的內容應及時問老師，使問題盡快解決。

　　5、要有適應新環境的能力，同時應有承受壓力的能力。要會調整自己，相信大家會以飽滿的精神狀態，充分的心理準備，順利適應高中英語學習的。

　　When the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.

　　Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?” Scientists will say that salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls in the cracks. The rain carries the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year.”

　　Some of the most interesting buildings in the world are the pyramids(金字塔). The pyramids stand huge and silent, and in modern days, people look at them and wonder,” Who built them? Why? When? What is inside? How did they do it?”

　　Thousands of years ago, certain kings of Egypt built the pyramids. They used to build them as tombs. The kings thought the pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people. Some pyramids were for queens, but they are less interesting because they are not as big.

　　The oldest pyramid that we know today is the pyramid near Sakkara in Egypt. It is about 5000 years old.

　　There are many pyramids along the Nile River. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of 2,300,000 huge stones, most of them taller than a person. It is about 144 meters high. Inside the pyramid are the burial rooms for the king and queen and long passage ways to these rooms. The rest of the pyramid is made of solid stones.

　　Workers usually built the pyramids when they had little or no work to do on their farms. To build the pyramid of Khufu, 100,000 men worked for twenty years.

　 We know there are wonderful treasures in the pyramids. Robbers have dug into some of the pyramids and taken many of these treasures. However, today some of the treasures are in museums.

　 How did the people of ancient days build the pyramids? How did they carry and lift upwards and upwards the huge stones? Each stone fits in with one another so well though they didn’t have our modern machines at all! The ancient art work of Egypt gives us the idea of a miracle. Scientists have studied the pyramids, but nobody can say just how they did it.

Just as the teacher was coming into the classroom, one of the boys, Gerald, said loudly,“The teacher is a real fool.”

To their surprise, the students found that the teacher pretended not to have heard this. He paid no attention to anyone and said nothing. He just went up to the teacher’s desk and began the class. He said, “Today we are going to study punctuation（標點符號）. Punctuation in the sentences is very important. Look at this sentence, please.”

He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the following sentence on the blackboard: Gerald says the teacher is a real fool.

The class laughed immediately.

“Now,”the teacher went on. “with two commas I can change the meaning of the sentence completely.”Then he put in two commas in the sentence and so the sentence read: Gerald, says the teacher, is a real fool.
