It is important because without it there would be no life on Earth. The sun gives us light and heat. All living things need light and heat from the sun to live. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the light from the sun to make food. We cannot make our own food, but plants can. All the food we eat comes from plants in a food chain(链)which starts with the sun. For example, Animals need sunlight, too. Just like us, their food comes from a food chain which begins with the sun and the plants. sun leaf caterpillar(毛虫)bird sun seaweed(海藻)small fish whale(鲸) Sunlight means we can see during the day.

In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, youve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says youre a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect. This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, youll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English. Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue, instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation. 64. In the writers opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _. A. to practice speaking, writing and feeling it B. to forget your own native language C. to translate everything into his own language D. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules 65. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.” This sentence means that memorizing your own language can _. A. help you to study English well B. stop you learning English well C. make English easy to learn D. help you notice mistakes 66. Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means_. A. to get a knowledge of English by touching B. to be able to read and write English C. to translate English into your own by imagining D. to be able to understand and enjoy the language D Festival activities programme （节日活动） TIME AND PLACE October 24-30 at Kerry Centre Hotel Classroom area 1) English Taster Lesson 2) Food health-keeping method presentation Computer area 3) E-Photography and TechnoMusic 4) Education Software Demonstration Internet Training area SINA and Capital On- Line will provide Internet training for the public.
