Teahouses(茶館) in Chengdu

There is a saying， “China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.” Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.

As soon as the visitors come into the teahouses， the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.

People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes， people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired.

Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. People can tell the stories and enjoy Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel(爭吵)， a mediator(調(diào)解員)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is worked out， the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers come into the teahouse and sit down to drink tea， they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator， their problems can be easily worked out then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions(功能).

Hey! Mother's Day is coming. Have you planned something good for your mom? If not, try one of these tips.

What's Her Favorite?

Most teens don't know what their mom's favorite is. You do? Then, what are you waiting for? Buy her something she likes and wrap it carefully. The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up, she'll be surprised to see it.

Treat a Queen

Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family, though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off and you can do the housework.

Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, she doesn't look good any more. Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look beautiful!

Have Some of Your Time

Our mothers have special memories in mind. It is the time that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Have you ever had a good time with your mother not talking about your problems? Have you ever told her how much you thank her for the life she gave to you, the time she cared for you? Maybe you can tell her how happy you are when she was there looking after you during your painful days in your life.

Tell the magic words

Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Those three words can make her heart jump for happiness, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?

Reading is the key to school success and，like any skill，it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly， correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity(自動性)”.

A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice， he stumbles less and less， reading by the phrase. With automaticity， he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words， so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.

It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools， Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others， but also got better results in exams.

According to Rossman， the key to automaticity is the amount(數(shù)量)of time a child spends reading， not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books， magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.

You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression， with a sense of the meaning of the sentences， you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly， one word at a time， without expression or meaning， you need more practice.

1.“ Reading is the key to school success” means that reading______.

A. helps school develop faster

B. is a key to a successful school

C. helps students go to a key school

D. can improve students’ learning results

2.Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they______.

A. know how to read the words

B. do not have to think while reading

C. read by themselves without any help

D. pay attention to the meaning of the text

3.The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.

A. 結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地讀 B. 全神貫注地讀

C. 心不在焉地讀 D. 聲情并茂地讀

4.The best title for the passage is “______”.

A . IQ is the Key to the Automaticity

B.TV is Bad for Children’s Reading

C. Automaticity Depends on Practice

D. Automatic Readers Will Be Successful
