I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.( )1. You can learn to swim by_______.A. reading books about itB. looking at others swimmingC. having lessons on itD. going into the river and learning( )2. We should learn English by _______.A. listening and speakingB. reading and writingC. A and BD. swimming( )3. What will you do with mistakes when you speak?A. Don't make mistakes. B study hard C. Try not to speak English D. Don't be afraid.( )4. What's more important for senior school students?A. listeningB. speakingC. reading and writingD. learning( )5. We can listen to English ______, according to the passage.A.by trainB. on the radioC. every minuteBMaybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success . But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, tooHard workers don’t mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think several different answers to these questions ,“Why should I suffer this?”“Isn’t there a better way to do this?”Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. progress in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. Theproducing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases ,the packing machine（机器）let an empty soapbox go .there was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the ma-chine for such a small problem .The engineer soon worked out a solution, he out a huge X-ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat , exhausted.“Sir, we could have solved the problem in a much simpler and cheaper way, ”a worker said.“Really? How?”“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine .The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap.”See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engi-neer, but also think smart like the worker.( )6. Some students spend less time on schoolwork but do better in exams________.A. because of their hard workB. because of different educationC. because they try to find a better wayD. because they study for a much longer time( )7. Some wrote to the soap factory and complained that ________.A. the soapbox he bought was emptyB. their soap was too expensiveC. the soap he bought was terribleD. their service was very bad( )8.The soap factory could only ________near the packing machine to solve the problem in a much simpler and cheaper way.A. put a huge fanB. set an X – ray machineC. put two large computersD. set some soapboxes( )9. The phrase “blow away” in the passage means “_________”A.停止B.远离C.逃脱D. 吹走( )10.The article mainly tells us we should _________ in order to succeed.A. work hard for long hours and should and study all the timeB. work hard like the engineer and think smart like the workerC. spend much less time on our schoolwork than before.D. spend enough money repairing the machine for any problemCThe English language we know today is about six hundred years old. For half that time, English was just the language of the people living in England. The modern English language grew from about the year 1400. Now English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is one of the working languages at International meetings, business, science and in other fields.The differences between American English and British English are not very great. Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example, centre, licence, colour and travelled are spelt center, license, color and traveled in American English. In America, “cook, rubber, ill , holiday, lorry, and post. . . ”are called “rooster, eraser, sick, vacation, truck, mail. . . ”. But people from the two countries can still understand each other easily.There are only a very small number of differences in grammar between American English and British English . The most important differences are in spoken English. Some words may have two kinds of pronunciations. You may wonder “Which is correct?” The answer is that it doesn’t matter. But you should speak either American English or British English . Don’t try to speak both at the same time.根据材料内容回答下列问题。
