很多學生覺得英語難學，但事實上，英語和其他學科區(qū)別不大，知識點都完全出在書中。只要肯下工夫，一定會把英語學好，至少英語成績不會被別人落下太多。通過今年的初三期末考試可以看出來，學生們存在的最主要的問題還是對教材不夠熟悉。比如，今年的完形填空題出自教科書中的原文，但是5個填空部分很多學生都沒有完全答對。其實，現(xiàn)在考試的趨勢越來越回歸教材，所以學生們一定要對教材非常熟悉。英語考試中的作文雖然不像語文作文那樣占分比例很大，但這仍是一個重點。此次考試，學生們的作文情況也不是很理想。原因是學生們平時不愿意動筆。其實，只要對教材熟悉，寫作的問題就不大。教材中的每個模塊的第二、三單元都是一個主題，這個主題會告知寫作內容。中考時的寫作范圍也不會脫離這些主題，肯定會是書中提到過的，所以，學生們要根據(jù)這些主題主動練習寫作。
寒假期間的復習重點可根據(jù)個人情況而定，但以下兩方面不得忽視：1、完形填空和閱讀每天要做四五篇。英語考試中完形填空和閱讀所占分數(shù)非常大，這是一個容易得分的部分。所以，學生們在假期每天都要保證閱讀數(shù)量。英語語感很重要，如果長時間不做閱讀，再次復習時會費很多力氣。2、初一到初三教材“過”一遍。復習英語的最好方式就是熟讀教材，因為英語教材中幾乎涵蓋了所有知識點。寒假期間，初一到初三年級的全部英語單詞要復習一遍，課文要通讀一遍，要保證英譯漢和漢譯英都沒有問題，這樣會給開學后進入總復習提供很多幫助。

When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows-cow manure (糞肥), to be specific.
Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That's really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
Here's how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. "The cows aren't bothered," says Marie Audet. "They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by."
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (化糞池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(細菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas (甲烷、沼氣)in the atmosphere is known as a "greenhouse" gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That's an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (發(fā)電機).
At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can't use themselves.

54. The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best descr ibed as ______.
