1. What big difference have some American teachers noticed between Chinese and American students? The big difference is in ______ between Chinese and American students.
study habit
[解析] 11-15 Some American teachers have noticed a big difference in study habit between Chinese and American students. American teachers spend lots of class time in encouraging students to discuss freely in class. Students pay much attention to improving their abilities in working out problems by themselves. Teachers often give their students a long reading list and the next class is always based on it. So students have to go to the library to do a lot of reading before class. Otherwise, they will feel embarrassed if they cannot answer their teacher's questions in class. However, Chinese students pay much attention to taking notes in class and seldom do library study. They can get good marks in their exams if they are able to memorize their class notes. In fact, this is really something serious that we should think about. If our students neglect self-study, it would be a great sorrow. 11. What big difference have some American teachers noticed between Chinese and American students?

Task 1 St. Valentine's Day, has roots in several different legends. One of the earliest popular symbols of the day is Cupid, the Roman god of love, who has the image of a young boy with bow and arrow. Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. He supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed on February 14, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine". Another Valentine was an Italian bishop (主教) who lived at about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman emperor. Some legends say he was burned to death. February 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in honor of a goddess. The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, and then to the early American colonies. Throughout the ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on February 14! Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St. Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. You can send candy to someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the flower of love. Most people send "valentines", a greeting card named after their notes. Valentines can be sentimental, romantic and heartfelt. They can be funny and friendly. If the sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous (匿名的).

Task 2 Thursday, April seventh, is World Health Day. The World Health Organization recognizes World Health Day each year to increase interest about a health issue it considers of special concern. This year, World Health Day examines the health of mothers and children in developing countries. The health of mothers and children is this year's World Health Day issue. The WHO says more than half a million women die every year from problems related to pregnancy (妊娠) and childbirth. Millions more women survive, but suffer disabilities. About eleven million children also die each year, many within the first month of life. A million or more children are left without mothers each year as a result of women dying from pregnancy-related problems. Experts say these children are three to ten times more likely to die within two years than children who live with both parents. Most deaths of mothers happen among poor people in developing countries. The highest maternal (母亲的) death rates around the world are in southern African countries, followed by central Asia. Women are most at risk during childbirth in Sierra Leone and Afghanistan. Experts say one out of six women in those countries will die from problems related to pregnancy and childbirth. WHO officials say most of the deaths result from lack of skilled care during pregnancy and childbirth and lack of clean conditions. Many babies would survive with safe birthing methods, good nutrition, vaccines against disease and good care at home. The disease AIDS is also an increasing threat to both mothers and their children. Experts say almost half of all adults living with AIDS and the virus (病毒) that causes it are women. And there is increased risk that an infected mother will pass the virus to her baby. Experts say many deaths could be prevented by using medicines during childbirth that prevent mothers from passing the AIDS virus to their babies. Last year, nations approved Millennium Development Goals for the year two thousand fifteen. They agreed to work to reduce the number of women dying in childbirth by three-quarters. They also promised to reduce the number of child deaths by two-thirds.
