四、几种不良倾向
1、有人认为高考成绩高就行了，不练说也没关系。其实我们现在学习英语已不仅仅是为高考了，而是要为高考后的生存与发展做准备，也为个人与社会大环境接轨打基础。更为个人向国外发展作必要的准备。
2、有人认为多做题就能解决问题。人们常说：量的积累可达到质的飞跃。但是盲目地追求数量而忽视质量是不可取也是无效的。死扣语法不重视在一定的语境中体会、运用知识也是不正确的。
3、有人常立志而不是立长志。英语学习最怕“三天打鱼，两天晒网”。高兴了干一阵，进步了就停下。走走停停只能导致成绩的起伏不定，最终导致兴趣降低，自信心丧失，造成恶性循环。
4、有人只会做或者是只做老师要求干的事。进入高中阶段，走向成熟的表现在学会自己学习，要学会安排自己的学习内容，要学会支配自己的学习时间。
五、学好英语，上好英语课的几个环节
1、尽快适应新环境、新同学、新老师，尽快适应高中学习。
2、课前认真做好预习工作。因为课时紧，内容多，强度大。不认真预习，课上会很被动。预习要做到认真听录音，模仿，掌握准确的语音、语调，了解单词意思，课文内容，找出疑难问题。
3、课上认真听讲，积极参与课堂活动，给自己更多的机会锻炼听、说能力，认真适当地记笔记。高效率听课，才能有高水平的收获。
4、课后要及时认真复习，按时完成作业是首要的。复习是为了巩固课堂知识，同时也应适当地做一些练习。遇到没有理解的内容应及时问老师，使问题尽快解决。
5、要有适应新环境的能力，同时应有承受压力的能力。要会调整自己，相信大家会以饱满的精神状态，充分的心理准备，顺利适应高中英语学习的。

When the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.
Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?” Scientists will say that salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls in the cracks. The rain carries the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year.”
We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.

Some of the most interesting buildings in the world are the pyramids(金字塔). The pyramids stand huge and silent, and in modern days, people look at them and wonder,” Who built them? Why? When? What is inside? How did they do it?”
Thousands of years ago, certain kings of Egypt built the pyramids. They used to build them as tombs. The kings thought the pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people. Some pyramids were for queens, but they are less interesting because they are not as big.
The oldest pyramid that we know today is the pyramid near Sakkara in Egypt. It is about 5000 years old.
There are many pyramids along the Nile River. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of 2,300,000 huge stones, most of them taller than a person. It is about 144 meters high. Inside the pyramid are the burial rooms for the king and queen and long passage ways to these rooms. The rest of the pyramid is made of solid stones.
Workers usually built the pyramids when they had little or no work to do on their farms. To build the pyramid of Khufu, 100,000 men worked for twenty years.
We know there are wonderful treasures in the pyramids. Robbers have dug into some of the pyramids and taken many of these treasures. However, today some of the treasures are in museums.
How did the people of ancient days build the pyramids? How did they carry and lift upwards and upwards the huge stones? Each stone fits in with one another so well though they didn’t have our modern machines at all! The ancient art work of Egypt gives us the idea of a miracle. Scientists have studied the pyramids, but nobody can say just how they did it.

Just as the teacher was coming into the classroom, one of the boys, Gerald, said loudly,“The teacher is a real fool.”
To their surprise, the students found that the teacher pretended not to have heard this. He paid no attention to anyone and said nothing. He just went up to the teacher’s desk and began the class. He said, “Today we are going to study punctuation（标点符号）. Punctuation in the sentences is very important. Look at this sentence, please.”
He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the following sentence on the blackboard: Gerald says the teacher is a real fool.
The class laughed immediately.
“Now,”the teacher went on. “with two commas I can change the meaning of the sentence completely.”Then he put in two commas in the sentence and so the sentence read: Gerald, says the teacher, is a real fool.
