Hello and wele. My name is Shelley Ann Vernon and I am glad that you want to find out more about teaching English through games. Right here you will find ways to get great results in the classroom for children aged 4 to 12; ways that are from my experience will bring more success and joy into the lives of the children you teach.

You'll learn how to make your serious classes fun, how to ensure everyone gets better grades, how to help inspire the brighter kids while nurturing the slower ones, and how to associate fun with learning by teaching vocabulary and grammar through language games. Earn even more appreciation, love and respect from your students and their parents for your teaching. The games presented here work for ESL (English as a Second Language) pupils aged 4 to 12. These games are most suitable for beginners to intermediate level (中级) students. Don’t take my word for it; read evidence from teachers and parents.

I found it valuable right away! Although I only bought your book on Monday, and today is Wednesday, I want you to know how valuable I have found it to be. I have used a couple of the games in school already and the children loved them. Most importantly, they were learning and reviewing English at the same time. Can I admit that I also enjoyed my lessons more? Gila Goldberg, Jerusalem

The games help with learning difficulties! My daughter Aurore has learning difficulties and since ing to your classes she has gained confidence and has improved in all subjects at school. Mrs. J. Brown, Canterbury, Kent, UK

Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological(心理的) first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.

I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to disturb this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.

Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside

of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive. In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better. 25. Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author? A. He built shelters for them. B. He came to stay with them.

C. He gave immediate first aid to them. D. He brought mental health professionals.

26. What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away? A. He decided not to disturb.

B. He went to his friends’ at once. C. He knew what to do instantly. D. He hesitated over whether to go.

27. What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Heavy but warm.

B. A little sad but fortable. C. Relaxing and delightful. D. Very serious and unhappy.

28. What has the author learned from his experience? A. Being present can make a big difference. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

C. The family harmony is the happiest thing in life. D. Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant. C

It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and fortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.

According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to adjust its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder

to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.

Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive. Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The bination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾气), and go early in the morning before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.

29. How does cold weather benefit runners, pared with warm weather? A. They can run more slowly. B. They can take in more calories.

C. Their hearts can function harder. D. Their body temperature can get lower. 30. How does summer affect runners?

A. It builds up their energy quickly. B. It makes runners tired easily.

C. It lessens runners’ stress. D. It causes heart attack.

31. What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days? A. Stop driving cars. B. Do more exercise.

C. Avoid outdoor exercise. D. Run late in the morning. D

Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.

One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s pletely silent and it’s weird(怪异的),” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it pletely snowballed,” he
