I’m a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you’re in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language. The list below is 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free.
Babbel – Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. The downside is that for full access to everything you need to pay a monthly subscription, but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo: Learn Languages Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It’s all completely free too! It’s incredibly well designed, looks great and will help you learn, remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.
Tandem: Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things, the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs, all by simply communicating with each other. It’s a great way to learn with only $1 a day.
Learn English – busuu
This app is perfect if you want to learn English. There are all sorts of audio and visual learning aids. You’ll find yourself working through interactive tests and learning tools for vocabulary and dialogue.
21. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. Sell apps to language learners.
B. Recommend language learning apps.

D. Teach languages through apps.

During his first week as a new Atlanta police officer, Officer Che Milton answered a call for shoplift at the nearby Family Dollar store. When he arrived, Milton found a 12-year-old girl in tears over trying to steal a $2 pair of shoes. Crying, she told Milton that the shoes were supposed to surprise her 5-year-old sister.
Milton, instead of arresting the girl, asked her to take him to her home instead. When he arrived, Milton’s heart sank. He found a house nearly empty, with only a sofa and sheets on the floor instead of beds. There was no food in the kitchen and the kids were there. The girl’s mother told the officer that her husband worked but didn’t make much money and that she couldn’t afford to do the same with several children to take care of and no daycare money to spare.
Moved, the officer drove to a restaurant and bought four pizzas for them and he called the Division of Family and Children Services and asked if there was a social worker who could help.
When the police department found out about Milton’s trips, instead of punishing him, the department decided to share his story on Facebook and added that “not only is he here to enforce(实施) the law but also to go the extra mile and be a bigger part of the community he is policing.”
Hundreds of citizens liked the post, asking how they could help. The department followed with posts including the six children’s sizes and mother’s clothing sizes. It also called for blanket and furniture donations. Visit the posts to learn how you can help and find more useful ways to donate your old things.
25. Why did the girl steal shoes?
A. To treat herself to a pair of shoes.
B. To attract public attention.
C. To give her sister a surprise.
D. To reduce her family’s economic burden.
26. What caused Milton’s heart to sink?
A. The girl lied to him about her living situation.
B. The girl’s family couldn’t get help from others.
C. The family had no source of income.
D. The family was extremely poor.
27. Which of the following can best describe Milton?

Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame(名声) and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britions’ career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.
29. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?
A. Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B. There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C. The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
30. What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A. Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
31. What do young people like David do on the Internet?
A. Learn from others.
B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races.
D. Mix jobs with hobbies.
D
First it was worry about second-hand smoke, now there’s major concern over third-hand smoke which gets into hair, clothes, furniture or a car rather than directly from a cigarette or someone breathing it out.
To be honest, I’ve always been worried about the health dangers of this even though I didn’t know it had a name. My worry made me reluctant to let smokers hold my babies even though they didn’t smoke in my house.
Tests for its effects have been only carried out on mice, but I don’t think they can be ignored. Researchers at California University last month suggested third-hand smoke (THS) could cause type 2 diabetes, liver and lung damage.
They analyzed how people are affected by taking in smoke from another person’s clothing, hair, home, or car. They say they can see an impact on the brain and liver. Lead author Manuela Martins-Green said: “Our goal was to decide the smallest amount of time required to cause physiological changes in mice when they are exposed(暴露) to THS.” This was done using an exposure system that is the same as human exposure.
“We found THS exposure as early as one month caused liver damage. Exposure for two months lead to further molecular(分子的) damage, and at four to six months caused even more such damage. We also found the mice showed insulin resistance（抗胰岛素） after long-term exposure.”
“THS is a hidden danger, a silent killer. Pollutants can be absorbed through the skin and through breathing.”
“Although our research was not done on humans, people should be aware that hotel rooms, cars and homes that were used by smokers are very likely to be polluted with THS.” Martins-Green believes most people don't know they're being exposed to THS, or don't believe in the damage it can do.
THS toxins(毒素) remain on surfaces for many years, and resist even strong cleaning agents.
32. When do you suffer third-hand smoke?
A. You smoke a cigarette yourself.
B. You stay with a smoker who is smoking.
C. You sit on a sofa where a smoker smoked.
D. You smoke with another two smokers.
33. What does the underlined word mean?
A. Unwilling. B. Happy. C. Thankful. D. Angry
34. Why should we be careful about third-hand smoke?
A. It is the most dangerous. B. It can cause health problems.
C. It can be easily ignored. D. It can never be cleaned.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Third-hand smoke is everywhere.
B. The ways to avoid third-hand smoke.
C. How to get rid of third-hand smoke.
D. Hidden health risks of third-hand smoke.

Bullies come in all shapes and sizes. Over time, most of us have to deal with a bully or two. Bullying can threaten students’ physical and emotional safety at school and can have a negative effect on their ability to learn. Here are some tips for you to avoid being bullied at school.
Show smallest reaction to their bullying. 36 . So do not show the bullies that you feel hurt. Just walk away as if you didn't mind it. Reacting to them will only encourage them further.
Feel your inner strength. Everyone has an inner strength to draw on; the problem with bullying is that many bullies try to make you feel that you have no this strength. 37 . In fact deep down you are stronger than they are.
38 Bullies may be less likely to target a big group of friends. They tend to pick on people they consider as defenseless or powerless. If you're always surrounded by people, a bully may avoid bothering you.
Stay within eyesight of an adult. If you stay within the eyesight of an adult, bullies will typically stay away. 39 Therefore they avoid bullying others if a teacher or other adult is near. When at school, stay in areas where teachers and other adults are typically present
40 Try a different way to school; if they can't find you, they can’t bully you. Try your best to avoid them but don’t show that you are avoiding them. They will usually read this as fear, and they will bully you more as a result.
