The listening test is one of the important1 of the English exam. If you want to do well in listening, here are some tips for you.

Before you start to listen, you need to2. And you should try to read the questions quickly before listening. These questions usually help you understand the dialogue or the passage.

Then listen3 to the first sentence. It usually tells you the main idea of the passage. While you're listening, you need to take some notes. You need to4 these questions beginning with "wh", such as "What happened? When did it happen?" and so on.5 this way, you may understand the passage better.

Please remember not to think about one or two words for a long time. When you hear some words you don't know, you should ignore (忽略)6 and keep listening. Very often, you'll find out what they mean later7 you go on with the listening.

Finally, always take time to carefully8 your answers. Go through each question one by one. Look for common mistakes like spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes. Ask9: Does this answer match what I heard? Is the grammar correct? Checking helps you find and fix small errors (错误) that could cost you points.

All in all, by following these tips and practicing regularly, you can improve your performance in listening tests and get10 grades.

Mr. Green is a great teacher. He teaches us physics. I like his classes very much they are always interesting.

One day, he asked us to do a scientific test. He told us a long rope and two cans (罐子) (need) for the experiment. Then he gave a basic (introduce) patiently.

He said, "First, make small hole at the bottom of one can and then pass the rope through this hole. Remember (tie) a knot (绳结) in the rope. Then do the same thing with the other one." I paid attention every word Mr. Green said. I took (note) carefully but didn't know why.

Then Mr. Green said, "Now everyone takes a can and (walk) away from each other until the rope is straight. The person holding the same rope you is your partner. One speaks into his or her can and the other listens. What (take) place next? Let's have a look." I decided to speak into the can. I said, "Billy, can you hear me?" He answered, "Yes, I can. I can feel the sound coming through the rope while you (say) something!"

The teacher asked us what we (discover). I said, "Our sounds can vibrate (振动). We speak into the can so it vibrates. The vibrations make the rope vibrate, too. When a vibration (reach) the can at the other end, that can and the air vibrate, too. So Billy could hear me."

"Good job! Students, now open (you) textbooks and you will have a deeper understanding of it," our teacher said. I think physics is the (funny) subject in my mind. I really like it!

When I was young,

Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp.

Me on this side,

Mother on the other side.

When I grew up,

Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket.

Me on this side,

Bride (新娘) on the other side.

But later on,

Nostalgia was a low, low grave (坟墓).

Me on this side,

And my mother inside.

And now,

Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait (海峡).

Me on this side,

Mainland (大陆) on the other side.

You'll need:

◆ half a lemon             ◆ a cup                    ◆ four spoons of water

◆ white paper             ◆ a light bulb       ◆ a cotton swab (棉签)

Why? Let me explain it!

Lemon juice has chemicals that have carbon (碳). The chemicals break down (分解) easily when they are heated. And the carbon makes the words turn a dark colour.

② In Singapore, Gardens by the Bay has introduced smart technology to keep plants healthy and manage water use efficiently (有效地). Visitors can learn about the different kinds of plants through interaction (互动).

③ In New York City, a new park adds the solar panels (太阳能板) and smart chairs that allow people to charge their mobile phones. These make the park more convenient and better for the environment.

④ Smart parks are getting more popular because they help people have fun together. Visitors can do many things like joining free exercise classes, playing group games, or watching outdoor movies. The parks also have useful apps to check event time, find the nearest restroom, or learn about plants and animals. Many families enjoy these parks because they are safe, clean, and full of interesting activities for everyone.

⑤ These new ideas will also help make parks safer. Sensors (传感器) can help ensure that visitors feel safe while enjoying their time outside. The parks will not only be beautiful places to relax but also safe environments for families and friends to get together.

⑥ In the future, smart parks may become common in many cities, allowing everyone to enjoy nature while using modern technology. In a word, smart parks will make outdoor spaces more enjoyable for everyone.
