One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in
America and in China. I can"t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English
and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
I believe a common problem with Chinese students" learning English is that they were not taught to think
in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, Then they think
in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one
begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the
very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you
can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a
language of the country. |

anywhere. The common sight of crowds of children chatting on their phones or sending short messages
has disappeared.
A grade-2 student said , "I couldn"t concentrate during classes if the cell phone was with me. I couldn"t
help checking if there were messages or missed phone calls. I even played games on the phone sometimes."
The school authorities say they feel the ban (禁令) is necessary to keep order in class. They even gave
out an open letter to remind parents not to let their children bring mobile phones to school. More than 96
percent of parents say they welcome the school decision. The school is also being flexible (灵活的) in
implementing the ban. Those students who live far from school are allowed to bring mobile phones to
contact their parents. But they still have to switch them off in classrooms.

phones can cause many psychological problems in teenage students. | | 1. The grade-2 student thought that _______. | A. the mobile phone should be on during classes

flights are given plenty of work to keep them 1 . There are also constant communications with people on
the earth. 2 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being 3 .
This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 4 space flights in the
future. Will there be special problem of adjustment (调整) under such 5 ?
Scientists have studied the reactions (反应) of men to one another during long submarine 6 . They have
found that the longer the voyage 7 , the more serious the problem of 8 is. When men are 9 together for

native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.
First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better
choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure
you understand the first one.
Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don"t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted
by another course just because it seems to be more"fashionable".
Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news
stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English
news on the radio.
Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as
V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook. | | 1. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ________. | A. improve their listening ability

hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect
students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork
anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The
laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with
laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their
teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that
students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a
fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges
and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop
computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries
and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State
officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers
to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and
we"re giving students a window on the world.They can see everything and do everything." | | 1. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _____. | A. use for their schoolwork
