children because they are not as patient as women.
Stereotyping jobs by gender isn’t fair, __38__? Everyone has their own talent, and __39__. Gender doesn’t
make people good at a job, but their ability does. affect 影響 decision 決定 patient 有耐心的 fair 公平的

enjoyed the movie a lot.
They came out of the theater at 11 o’clock, got into their car and began driving home.

run home after the movie, and the last one washes the dishes at home!”

“Stingless Bees” Make Medicine Honey
Uh oh, there’s a bee!
No worries. If you don’t bother a bee, they will not usually sting you. Bees are good for our
environment by helping more flowers and plants grow. This way, we have more vegetables to eat.
Some people are afraid of bees because they are afraid the bee will sting them. There is a kind
of bee that does not sting. They are called “stingless bees.” These bees live in Peru. Peru is a
country in South America. Some people in Peru use these bees for food. They also use these bees
to make money by selling their honey. And they can do all of this without worrying about getting
stung!
Scientists are learning a lot about these bees in Peru. Like how the honey these bees make is
different from honey made by other bees around the world. They are also learning that people in
Peru use honey as medicine to treat many different problems. They use it to treat things like
colds, cuts, burns, and other sickness.
It is amazing that honey can do all of those things! sting 刺;螫(stung-stung) bother 打擾

(D) “If you don’t feel well before meals, and after meals your stomache doesn’t become better,
then “Gesund” would be your good friend. Just take it before meals, and you will feel better.”
Podcast
Watching videos is entertaining and relaxing, but for people who can’t take their eyes off what
they are doing, there is another kind of entertainment---listening to an audio program. Your
grandparents may listen to the radio. Today, many people enjoy podcasts. Those are like radio
shows on demand. You can download podcasts and listen to them any time you want.
Podcasts are becoming more popular in Taiwan. Taiwanese podcasts have been around since
2000, but these years the number of podcasts jumped up like never before. There are shows on
almost every subject, like baseball, food, music and more. Anyone can be a podcaster. All you
need is a computer, a microphone, the right app and something interesting to talk about.
Far away from Taiwan, the fifth and sixth grade students at Woollahra Public School in Sydney,
Australia learn about keeping healthy mind in class. This year, they decided to record their talks
and create a podcast called “The Grow Your Mind Podcast”. By telling stories and interviewing
people, the 12-year-olds cover topics such as healthy friendships, thankfulness, and brave heart.
Podcasting is fun, but why is it a good idea at school? Before you teach someone else an idea,
you need to know it very well first, says the school principal. On top of that, the students find
ways of explaining ideas to younger children that the teachers wouldn’t think of. Thanks to their
podcast, it helps students of all grades.

Being Polite: How to Soften Your English
This is Sian from BBC English. In this class, we're going to look at something people love doing: being polite.
"No, I'm not coming to your party this evening.""Wow, this food is terrible!""Give me some of your lunch."
Sometimes, it's okay to talk with your friends like that, but it's important not to sound “not polite”, especially
in the workplace. Here are three ways you can soften your language to make you more polite.
Asking People to Do Something
Now look at these two askings—which one sounds more polite and less direct(直接)?
1. "Pick me up on your way to the party this evening."
2. "I was hoping that you could give me a ride to the party."
Number two is much more polite.
We soften our askings and questions by using past forms(式), continuous(持續進行) forms, or both. For
example, "I was thinking if you could give me a ride later." We can also make askings softer by using a
negative(否定的) question with a question tag(附加). Like "You couldn't give me a ride later, could you?"
or "I don't think you could pick me up tonight, could you?"
Giving Ideas
Which do you think sounds less direct and more polite?
1. "You're too young to get married."
2. "I feel you're a little young to be getting married."
Yes, the second one is much less direct. It's softer.
We use words "guess" "feel" to make us sound less direct. You can also use the words like "kind of," "a little ".
It also helps if you make it into a question: "Aren't you kind of young to ride a motorcycle?"
Talk about Problems
Which of the following sentences sounds less direct?
1. "You made a mistake in this report."
2. "You seem to make a mistake here in this report."
Yes. The second one was softer, less direct.
We talk about problems with words like "seem" and "appear" to soften them. So, you may say, "You appear to
lose my report by mistake." You could also use these to talk about your own problems, like "I seem to have
lost those reports you wanted."
Now, to find out more about not being too direct and to practice being polite, I was hoping you would check
out our website: bbclearningenglish.com. See you soon! Goodbye! (From: orbbclearningenglish.com)
49.( ) Which is Not true?
(A) The word “soften” here means making our language more polite.
(B) When we ask others to do something, it is better to be polite, especially in working place.
(C) A negative question with a question tag is a good idea when we don’t want to be rude(無禮).
(D) “Appear” is a strong word to tell others that we are unhappy.
50.( ) Which of the following is the least soft of the others?
(A) It seems that you forgot to bring my dinner.
(B) What happened? I can’t believe that you fail the road test.
(C) You couldn’t help me mopping the floor, could you?
(D) I feel you’re kind of careless with this report because there are some mistakes here.
(Check your answers carefully. Good luck!)
