              Though online ordering is popular in the UK today, hands -on experience still attracts many buyers’ attention.

              Oxford Street

              London is a shoppers’ paradise, and most visitors head for Oxford Street. Halfway along is Selfridges, one of the world’s first department stores where the architecture and window dressing impress you even before you go in. There are at least four other major stores on this street, plus Europe’s largest music shop. In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always lighted by a politician, a great sportsman,or a super star.

              Kensington High Street

              A fashionable area for shopping is Kensington High Street. One of its department stores even has a roof garden—good for relaxing between purchases. There’s also an organic food superstore.

              Borough Market

              You can’t visit London without going to a supermarket. One of the oldest and best for food is probably Borough Market on the south bank of the Thames. Get off the underground at London Bridge and wander among fresh fish stalls, bakeries, and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialities to take away, like cheeses, pork pies, mustard and chutney.

              More places for bargains

              Portobello RoadMarket on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector’s items. It’s a short walk from the underground station at Notting Hill Gate and you never know what you will find. For clothes, Camden Market is the place. It gets a little crowded at the weekends, though. Convent Garden Market offers great experience for the simple pleasure of looking at jewelry and gifts.

              A. the wonderful window dressing

              D. Portobello Road Market

              (3) Where is this passage probably taken from?

              A. A science book.                           
              B. A traveler’s journal.

              C. A news report.                            
              D. A trip guide.

              AWL is well known for its dictionaries and English language teaching materials. Some readers have written in to ask us for the latest information on high quality books on English, so here we introduce two texts that aim to improve spoken English fluency. 


              Let’s Speak (Beginner)


              By Bev Dusuya, Naoko Ozeki and Kevin Bergman


              ISBN: 962001359X


              Speak Up (Pre Intermediate)


              By Kev Kusuya, Nako Zeki


              ISBN: 058222805O


              “Teach the students about your culture and help them talk about their own.” How often are these worthy goals kept from being achieved by the limitations of your beginner level learners? Students at all levels want to talk about culture. 


              Topics include food, shopping, sports, fashion, the roles of men and women health, music and others. 


              These are all chosen from surveys of over 15, 000 students about their own interests in cross cultural communication. 


              “Let’s Speak” and “Speak Up” share a special but excellent way that allows all students to take part in. 


              The series has questions which start thinking and help collect opinions about personal topics. Conversation practice is provided by using models of basic exchanges on the topic. Also, the cultural information presented in the series comes in the form of interesting, relevant facts and ideas from other countries through listening tasks and Culture Quiz exercises. 


              “Let’s Speak” is fit for entry level students of all ages. “Speak Up” provides for the needs of higher level beginners, offering the same careful listening and speaking help, but with slightly more open ended discussion.

              Scientists from the British Science Association have drawn up a list of the top 10things that have changed the world.Here are five of them.
              GPS technology
              The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a network of satellites around the earth to find out the exact position of a receiver anywhere on the planet.It was developed in 1978,and it is now used in cars,aircraft and boats to find directions.
              The bar code
              Norman Woodland developed an early form of the bar code in 1949by combining ideas from movie soundtracks and Morse code to help him speed up store checkouts.These boring sets of black and white lines can now be found on almost every single item bought from a shop.
              Social networking
              Around the world,every day,more than three billion minutes are spent by computer users on Facebook.Along with other social networking sites such as MySpace and Twitter,it has completely changed the way we interact and who we interact with.Millions of people now communicate tiny details of their professional and personal lives by poking,twittering and posting.Online social networking has allowed people to get in touch with friends they lost touch with years ago.
              Text messages
              Text messaging has created a new vocabulary and new grammar that are almost incomprehensible to those who do not use them.LOL and FYI have now passed into everyday English.It has also changed the way people use their thumbs.Among 1317yearolds,text messaging now outweighs oldfashioned phone calls by seven to one.
              Electronic money
              In the UK there were 7.4billion purchases made with plastic cards last year.Combined with Internet banking,cards have made the cheque almost redundant(多余的).Credit cards gave us greater convenience for spending,greater security and the ability to spend money anywhere in the world.

              (1) What do the scientists from the British Science Association think of the above inventions? ______
              A. They think they can be more advanced.
              B. They think they are very difficult inventions.
              C. They think they are very interesting inventions.
              D. They think they have great influence on the world.
              (2) How can we make use of GPS technology? ______
              A. We can use it to find directions.
              B. We can use it to share details of our life.
              C. We can use it to find the prices of boats.
              D. We can use it to increase the speed of cars.
              (3) Where can you most probably see the use of the invention of Norman Woodland? ______
              A. In a parking lot.
              B. In a store.
              C. In a school.
              D. In a restaurant.
              (4) What do we know about electronic money? ______
              A. It is not safe.
              B. It helps us save money.
              C. It hasn't become well received.
              D. It makes shopping very convenient.

              First lady Michelle Obama turns 50on Friday,Jan.17,2014.
              Michelle Obama has spent the first half-century of her life breaking barriers and checking off a series of firsts.Now,as she reaches her milestone birthday Friday,the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark.
              Five years after moving into the White House,and without a re-election campaign to worry about,she has more room to relax in her role and,political watchers say,possibly become more vocal (声音的) on political issues in the three years left in office.
              So far,critics have complained about Michelle's silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice:Last year,at the start of her husband's second term,she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre (残杀) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,Conn.She also disappointed some feminists (女权主义者) who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nation's"mom-in-chief."Nor did she handle racial issues during her second term,as some had expected.
              "The most important thing to remember is,whether you are black,white or Hispanic,you're the first lady and the president of all the people in the United States.That's a huge melting pot,so to reinforce (强化)that she's African American over anything else would not be wise,"said Anita McBride,who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies (遗产) of America's first ladies and their historical influence at American University.
              Valerie Jarrett,a top White House adviser and a close friend of the Obamas,said the first lady doesn't want to"spread herself too thin."
              "She really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,"Jarrett told the Associated Press."That,she said,"is better than trying to take on every single possible cause."
              But Robert Watson,a Lynn University professor,said he expects Obama to"go a little harder at issues"over the next several years."Second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,"he said.
              Myra Gutin,a Ryder University communications professor and frequent lecturer on first ladies,said she expects Obama to continue making both of them a priority in her remaining years in the White House,given their success.Michelle launched the"Let's Move"campaign in 2010.It in particular has gained widespread support,ranging from the National Football League to the Sesame Street franchise (特许),which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed characters for free on fruits and vegetables.
              "There's no such thing as a traditional first lady,not anymore in this technology-filled world.Is Mrs.Obama cutting edge?Is she an activist?No.As first ladies go,I think she's been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,"she said."But she's not exactly just sitting in the White House pouring tea and having receptions,either."

              (1) 1、Critics were disappointed with Michelle because ______ .
              A. she didn't put gun-control measures into effect
              B. she failed some feminists to stand out to be a career woman
              C. she didn't solve some racial problems
              D. she failed to voice her opinion on some issues
              (2) 2、According to the professors or advisers,which of the following statements is NOT true? ______
              A. It's not wise to reinforce Michelle is African American over anything else.
              B. It's better for Michelle to have a maximum impact than to take on every possible cause.
              C. It's expected for Michelle to go a little harder at issues.
              D. It's a tradition for first ladies to stay out of political issues.
              (3) 3、What does the underlined phrase"spread herself too thin"in Paragraph 6mean? ______
              A. Try to do a lot of work at the same time.
              B. Get very tired.
              C. Try to improve physical fitness.
              D. Move herself away from others.
              (4) 4、In Paragraph 9,the campaign"Let's Move"might be aiming to help people ______ ..
              a.gain widespread support
              b.become more physically active
              c.have access to healthier foods

              December 15,2014
              Dear Alfred,
              I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
              Growing up,I had people telling me I was too slow,though,with an IQ of 150+at 17,I'm anything but stupid.The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time,I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
              However,when something did interest me,I could become absorbed.In high school,I became curious about the computer,and built my first website.Moreover,I completed the senior course of Computer Basics,plus five relevant pre-college courses.
              While I was exploring my curiosity,my disease got worse.I wanted to go to college after high school,but couldn't.So,I was killing my time at home until June 2012when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
              Since then,I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.Currently,I'm learning your Probability course.I have hundreds of printer paper,covered in self-written notes from your videos.This has given me a purpose.
              Last year,I spent all my time looking for a job where,without dealing with the public,I could work alone,but still have a team to talk to.Luckily,I discovered the job-Data Analyst-this month and have been going full steam ahead.I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession,without going to college,and be just as good as,if not better than,my competitors.
              Thank you.You've given me hope that I can follow my heart.For the first time,I feel good about myself because I'm doing something,not because someone told me I was doing good.I feel whole.
              This is why you're saving my life.
              Yours,
              Tanis
