一、★★ 阅读理解 主题:人与自我——生活与学习 学科素养:语言能力 词数:约260 建议用时:6分钟
Do you like swimming? 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 learn to speak. We can listen to English programs on the radio. You may just understand some words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, and 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 to speak aloud. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with others. 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 junior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. Lots of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep English diaries. It’s a good way to improve our writing skills. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure.
It’s easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.

The Super Power of YET!
In today’s world, many people want quick success, but real growth takes time and the right mindset. The mindset is how we think about our abilities. It plays a big role in our progress so it’s very important for us. There are two kinds of mindsets—a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Carol Dweck from
Stanford University studied these two mindsets:
She has found that having a growth mindset benefits our learning a lot.
Learning happens in four stages:
☆ Growth Zone: They achieve their goals and take on bigger ones.
☆ Learning Zone: They start getting new skills and confidence.
☆ Fear Zone: People feel unsure or afraid of making mistakes and often give up.
☆ Comfort Zone: Things feel easy, but no growth happens here.
One of her experiments is at Parkland Soccer Club. Her group teaches the players that mistakes are part of learning. If a player says, “I can’t do this”, that usually means he fears making mistakes. Then he is encouraged to say “I can’t do this, YET! But I can learn and improve.”
Challenges are important and helpful for growth. Let’s believe in ourselves, work hard, and keep improving. The super power is “YET”.
