• 4．Every week in China ，millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero which is a Chinese-style spelling bee（拼寫大賽）.In this challenge，young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand.To prepare for the competition ，the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.
     Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise.Along with gunpowder and paper，many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy（書法） to be one of their primary contributions to civilization.Unfortunately ，all over the country，Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help.Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet.The correct character is chosen from a list.The result？It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.
     But there's still hope for the writing brush.China's Ministry of Education wants children to spend more time learning how to write.
     In one Beijing primary school we visited ，students practise calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls.They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. "If adults can survive without using handwriting，why bother to teach it now？" we ask the calligraphy teacher Shen Bin. "The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture. " she reasons. "Students must learn now so that they don't forget when they grow up"，says the teacher.
  
  （1）What can we learn about the Chinese-style spelling bee？

  
  A．It's open to people of all ages and all walks.
  B．It's the most-viewed TV programme in China.
  C．It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.
  D．It draws great public attention across the country.
  （2）Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters？

  
  A．Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often.
  B．Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practise calligraphy.
  C．Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
  D．Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology.
  （3）According to Shen Bin ，being able to write characters by hand is

  .
  A．necessary for adults to survive in China
  B．a(chǎn) requirement made by the Ministry of Education
  C．helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
  D．a(chǎn)n ability to be developed only when you are students
  （4）Where does this text probably come from？

  
  A．A news report.
  B．A science report.
  C．An advertisement.
  D．Children's literature.

• 5．How to listen in English exams Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams．The following suggestions may benefit you a lot．
     Relax yourself．
     Before listening，it's necessary to have a peaceful state of mind． （1）

  If that doesn't work，drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent．
     （2）

     Grasp the main idea．
     Sometimes the monologue，dialogue or conversation you're listening to is a little bit longer than you expect．And it's normal that some unnecessary information is included．However，you don't need to understand it completely．（3）

  
     Ignore the new words．
     Without doubt，there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials．In fact，it's almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes．（4）

  It's mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening．
     Develop the habit of taking notes．
     In the course of listening，it's a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details．（5）

  By taking notes，we can remind ourselves of the key points．
  
  A．Concentrate on listening．
  B．The more words you memorize，the better it is．
  C．Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary．
