25、Swimming and English Learning

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well， how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice， practice and practice.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed， try to catch every word.

Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well， you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with， you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember， the more you speak， the fewer mistakes you’ll make.

Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.

Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

Easier said than done. Well， let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.

【1】 You can learn to swim by_______.

A. reading books about it B. looking at others swimming

C. having lessons on it D. going into the river and learning

【2】 We should learn English by _______.

A. listening and speaking B. reading and writing

C. A and B   D. swimming

【3】What will you do with mistakes when you speak?

A. Don’t make mistakes.   B. Study hard.

C. Try not to speak English.   D. Don’t be afraid.

【4】What’s more important for senior school students?

A. listening   B. speaking

C. reading and writing D. learning

【5】We can listen to English ______， according to the passage.

A. by train   B. on the radio

C. every minute   D. now and then

26、What Is Self-tracking All about

Perhaps you’ve tracked（观测） how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how much you’ve eaten in a day.

If so, you’ve taken part in a popular movement called the “Quantified Self Movement” or “Self-tracking”. Maybe you’ve wanted to change a bad habit but couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to collect information about your everyday activities and analyze（分析） them to help improve and form a healthier lifestyle.

Recently, tools such as smartphones, apps, along with newly published wearable things, are making self-tracking easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone Up, Google Glass or a smart watch to record personal data(数据) including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate and mood.

So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to know what foods make him sleepy and watch his diet.

Tracking daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes food, training and sleep in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight health problems. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that magazine writers Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly created the term (术语) “Quantified Self” or  “self-tracking”.

Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its disadvantages. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an extra task people like to do often. Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.

Though self-tracking doesn’t make sure that one’s quality of life will improve, it can encourage people to make healthier choices.

【1】People choose self-tracking because _______.

A. it watches your eating habits

B. it increases your movement

C. it records how many kilometers you run every day

D. it collects personal data and leads to self- improvement

【2】The writer mentions tools such as smartphones and apps in Paragraph 3 to show _______.

A. we depend too much on them

B. it is easier to do self-tracking

C. they do harm to people’s health

D. tools are necessary to do self-tracking

【3】Self-tracking was firstly come up with by _______.

A. two magazine writers

B. athletes and their coaches

C. doctors and their patients

D. scientists of Data Speaks Health Solutions

【4】You can find this article in the part of _______.

A. Education   B. Sports   C. Health   D. News
