①听录音不看原文（猜测意思） ②听录音看原文（核对自己的猜想） ③最大声、最清晰、最快速疯狂操练 ④经常找别人卖弄你的学的英文（能脱口而出）  -01- Health Comes First Smoking is bad in that it is harmful to one's health. In spite of the fact that doctors have even warned that it causes cancer, people still keep on smoking. In some Western countries, however, people are beginning to kick the bad habit. They realize that health should come first. To help them quit smoking, there are laws against cigarette advertising and smoking in public places. This is praiseworthy except that Western countries are now selling cigarettes in the East in greater numbers than ever. That they are doing this is immoral, don't you think? 健康第一 抽烟不好，因为它有害健康。尽管医师甚至已经警告说抽烟会致癌，但人们还是照抽不误。然而，在一些西方国家中，人们开始戒除这个坏习惯。他们了解健康应该重于一切。为了帮助他们戒烟，法律明文规定在公共场所禁止做香烟广告与吸烟。此举值得赞许,但美中不足的是西方国家现在卖往东方的香烟达到空前的数量。他们这么做是不道德的，您不觉得吗?
-02- My Best Friend My best friend is the most thoughtful person in the world. When I'm sad, he is the most sympathetic. When I'm sick,he is the most concerned.

-03- Don't Be a Fish out of Water Do you sometimes have a hard time understanding what Americans are talking about among themselves? Do you want to know why? The answer is, Americans are crazy about using slang. They tend to overdo it, though. Otherwise, slang is fun to use. You should try it. And some slang is easy to understand. For example, if someone is 'off the hook,' it means that he is no longer in trouble. The 'hook' is a fish hook. If a fish is on the hook, of course, it is in trouble. If it is 'off the hook,'then it is out of danger. Didn't we tell you slang is fun? Besides, it should at least help you feel more at home and not like a fish out of water when you speak to Americans. 不要做一条离开水的鱼
