    Listening test is one of the most important parts of the English exam. Here are some tips for you.

    Before you start to listen, you need to—relax. Don't be stressed out. And try to read the questions. These questions usually help you understand the conversation or the passage.

    Then listen carefully to the first sentence. It usually tells you the main idea of the passage. When you're listening, try to do some thinking and take some notes, such as:

    ☆What happened

    ☆When, where, and how

    ☆What does the speaker want to tell us

    In 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, don't spend too much time on them. Very often, you'll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.

    Kwanzaa is a celebration of African American history and culture. It begins on December 26th and continues until New Year's Day, January 1st.

    During the festival, a family member, usually the youngest child, lights candles in a special candleholder. Each night a candle is lit. Traditionally there are three green candles, three red candles and a central black candle. They represent the seven Kwanzaa principles (原则). The principles are believed to play a big role in building strong, successful families, neighborhoods, etc. In the evenings, adults share stories and explain how to follow the seven principles in daily life. On the sixth day, which falls on New Year's Eve, family and friends get together to enjoy a large meal.

    Kyle, a third grader, wrote this about Kwanzaa, "When we celebrate Kwanzaa, we have many people at home, light the candles, and have a nice dinner. We learn the meaning of Kwanzaa and remember family members. We say something good about them. Last year, we remembered my grandmother."

    In 1966, Dr. Karenga created Kwanzaa. He was studying the history of Africa at that time. Dr. Karenga wanted to create a holiday to bring African Americans together and celebrate their history and culture. He called the holiday "Kwanzaa". In fact, the name comes from an African language, and it means "first fruits of the harvest (收获季节)".

    In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest—host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.

    In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

    My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask," Is it OK if I smoke?" But, don't be surprised if they say," No, you can't smoke." In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.

    Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.

    In China, you probably won't need to change the guest—host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.

    People spend almost a third of their lives doing one thing—sleeping. Every year, there is a day for people around the world to celebrate the (important) of good and healthy sleep—World Sleep Day.

    Sleep is like food for the brain. Healthy sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. People of different ages need different amounts of sleep. It is said that eight hours per night (consider) the average amount of sleep. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night. However, last year, the China Youth and Children Research Center (report) that about four (five) of middle school students didn't get enough sleep. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep (worry) about their schoolwork and can't fall (sleep) quickly. A lack (缺乏) of sleep can greatly affect (影响) a person's life. Students who don't get enough sleep may get poor grades. They cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.

    (solve) this kind of problem, scientists advise that students should have (little) schoolwork and more time to sleep. There are some other ways to help people get enough sleep, such as (take) a 20-minute nap (午睡) during the day, trying to go to sleep earlier and so on . Good sleeping habits are also (help). For example, try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during the day.

    If you have seen the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean (《加勒比海盗》)", you must remember Johnny Depp who played the leading role as the captain (船长).

    "The Pirates" were such successful movies that they climbed to the top of all the most popular movie lists. At the same time, Depp became one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. Depp owns a large number of fans from the young to the old. Right now, Johnny Depp's time has arrived. He has been named "favourite actor" for seven years in a row. Also, he was chosen as "the sexist (最性感的) man alive" by People Magazine.

    But success never came easily for him. It took a long time to make Depp remembered by the public. He was able to catch people's eyes with roles in many movies from the family film like "Charlie and Chocolate Factory" to the serious film like "Public Enemies", which was chosen as "best movies" for 2009.

    Johnny Depp is a person who never gives up trying a new start. Because of his increasing popularity, Depp was invited to play the screen role as the Mad Hatter in "Alice in Wonderland" directed by Tim Burton. "Depp can always bring the film surprise and we're expecting his wonderful performances all the time," he said.
