When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you looked up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation (翻译)? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds; they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握)the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand his sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, but the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the different between the two parts of sentences.
“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

If you are writing or studying, it makes much difference where the light comes from. People use  36  and pens every day. They have to be very careful about the  37  of the light because the light shines on their work.
Every  38  gets its light either from daylight  39  the window or from the lamps,   40  no matter what kind of light it is, the way it shines is very important to the eyes.
Take a book and sit with your  41  towards the window, and try to read. Your shadow(影子) falls all over the page and makes it  42  for your eyes as if you were in a  43  room. Now turn around and face the window. The page is in shadow again,  44  the bright light is in your eyes.Try sitting with your  45  side towards the window. This is very good for reading, but if you were writing, the shadow  46  fall across the page and trouble you  47 .There is another way – sit  48  your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for  49   as well.
Whatever kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is  50  the same. So you see different ways to sit make much difference in writing or studying.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文内容用完整的句子回答问题。?
Gao Xiaosong, who is a famous musician, movie director and the writer of the famous song My Deskmate, has been sent to jail(监狱) and will stay there for six months for drunk driving.?
“I've nothing to say for myself and I'm willing to be punished(惩罚),” he said when he was standing in the court. “What I want to say is that I feel sorry for what I?ve done. I thought alcohol(酒精) could bring me freedom but never realized drunk driving could take away others freedom. And now I've lost my own freedom because of drinking. I'll obey the new road safety rules and I want to be a life?long volunteer in persuading(劝说) others not to drive after drinking.”?
Anyone who drives after drinking doesn?t think much of human life. If Gao had cared, he would have left his car parked outside the restaurant and took a taxi home, and he would have thought about a road killer he would become. It's fair to say that his behavior can not be excused in modern society. Gao may not have killed anyone, but by choosing to drive a car while under the influence of alcohol, he and the large number of others who do the same have made the dangerous decision that may possibly hurt other people.
【小题1】What was the reason for Gao Xiaosong's being jailed for six months??
【小题2】How did he feel for what he had done??
【小题3】 Did he think he was wrong??
【小题4】If one drives after drinking, what may happen??
【小题5】What's your idea after reading this passage?
