26、   If you ever wanted to learn a new language, I recommend that you test the waters on your own before working with a teacher. 【1】 You can set your own goals and track your progress of how you are doing and it forces you to be more proactive and take greater initiative(主动性) for your own learning. Here are three easy steps for learning a language on your own!

Step 1: Online Language Sites

Learning always begins with the self. 【2】 The first time I tried to learn French online, I used Babbel, and I loved it! I love their site because it is very interactive and makes learning more interesting! They don’t make you learn a lot of information at once. Instead, it breaks it down in chapters and introduces only a few vocabulary each time. Then, it tests your memory using multiple choice and fill-in-the-blanks. Finally, it ends off with a listening comprehension session, where you learn how the words are now used in the context of a real conversation.

Step 2: Find a Language Partner

Once you have started to grasp some basic grammar and vocabulary, it is time to find someone to practice with you! Personally, this is my favorite part because I like meeting and helping people, so this is killing two birds with one stone. 【3】 For many years, I have used Conversation Exchange to help me find a language partner when I am in a new city. However, if you prefer an online conversation, they can also do that too!

Step 3: Practice Makes Perfect!

Take some time to meet a few language partners before you decide who is going to work best for your learning style. 【4】 One way that I like to practice is to try to create sentences on my own, for example, “I like to in my free time.” Since I don’t know the word in my target language, I will be forced to look it up in the dictionary to complete my sentence. I have learned a new word in the context of a sentence. Therefore, I have a better memory association since I actively used it.

A. I suggest 20 minutes in one language and then switch to the other language for another 20 minutes.

B. Since you are also teaching someone your native tongue in exchange for learning theirs, it’s a win-win situation and you both learn something for free!

C. For this reason, I recommend taking the initiative to learn on your own using an online language software before reaching out to others to help you.

D. It really is an all-in-one interactive package that makes learning fun.

E. Everyone learns differently, so it is important that you discuss what method will work for both of you and how your exchanges are conducted.

F. Learning on your own has many benefits.

27、People take up volunteering for different reasons. 【1】 Whatever the reason, once you have decided that you would like to give some of your time to help others, you need to make some decisions.

• Choose a charity or organization

Firstly, what sort of organization do you want to help? 【2】 -- perhaps you have been affected by some of the issues that a charity aims to support, like children who need help. Many local schools depend on volunteers who come in regularly to read with the children or help with their math.

• 【3】

Once you have decided where you want to volunteer, you then have to decide what sort of volunteer work you want to do. Think about your existing skills: Do you prefer hands-on work? Are you good with people? Do you have a background in administrative (行政) work? Charities need volunteers to work in shops, organize or manage fundraising (筹款) events, or, in the case of animal charities, walk dogs.

• Find a position

Most charities have a website with a section aimed at attracting potential volunteers and they advertise specific roles available. But smaller charities might not have funds (资金) to do this. 【4】 You will be welcomed with open arms!

• Apply for suitable positions

Be prepared with information about your previous (or current) employment and the sort of skills you have, so that the charity can match you to the most suitable role. You might think that have no such skills. Don’t let your lack of confidence stop you. 【5】

A．You might have a particular charity in mind.

B．Consider how much time you want to put.

C．Without them, they simply wouldn’t carry out their work.

D．Ask your friends and loved ones what they think you can offer.

E．Some want to “give something back” while others want to meet new people or learn new people or learn new skills.

F．Decide on the kind of work.

G．In this case, you would usually need to phone or visit their offices to find out how you can help.

29、The percentage of women working in technology has decreased since the 1990s.Women make up only a quarter of all jobs in computer and math professions.I think all girls should learn how to code（编码）.Here is why.

If we want to be part of one of the fastest growing job markets out there,we need to jump on board!Over the last ten years the growth in STEM jobs has been three times faster than that in non-STEM fields.Women will never be able to keep up with men in the professional workplace if we don't join the fastest growing fields.

You can have fun creating your own website,programming a robot to get the remote for you when you're lying on the couch,photoshop pictures to change the color scheme to something better than the Instagram filters,and so much more.Coding allows you to realize your wildest dream,and create anything you can imagine.Coding allows you to rule the world.

It's not very hard to learn to code.You could learn to code on YouTube,in the Girls Who Code club;you could take a free course online on Code Academy;you could even just Google how to code.

You learned to read,you learned to drive-now learn to code.

31、Giving the missing words with the help of the letters given

Children have their own rules in playing games. They s【1】 need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that d【2】 a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compare. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel p【3】 at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give o【4】, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they can i【5】 a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
