     Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do 
before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken 
instructions some time before they can speak, though the word "obey" is hardly accurate as a description 
of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children 
will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
     Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads 
to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months 
one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But 
since these can't be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as 
early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for 
enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation
(模仿) leads on to deliberate (有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other 
people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be 
considered as speech.
     It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular 
person means by it in a parti cular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change
 as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for 
his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for 
his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say 
continues  after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained 
when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.   
1. Before children start speaking _____.
A. they need equal amount of listening
B. they need different amounts of listening
C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions
2. Children who start speaking late _____.
A. may have problems with their listening
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear 
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
3. A baby's first noises are _____.
A. an expression of his moods and feelings  
B. an early form of language
C. a sign that he means to tell you something  
D. an imitation of the speech of adults
4. The problem of deciding at what point a baby's imitations can be considered as speech _____.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B .is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D. is one that should  be completely ignored (忽略) because children's use of words is often meaningless
5. The speaker implies _____.
A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating

Struggling in the US? Move to China!
I graduated from the university with a degree of civil engineer. It is a good field but my heart was not in it. I wanted to be an actor or work in the entertainment industry…living a creative life. My choice of civil engineering was really a mistake but I realized too late. As soon as I graduated, I move straight to Los Angeles----the home of the film and television industry!
For three years, I tried to get a job in that field. I often worked as an extra in movies and TV shows----standing in the background while actors are in the foreground. This was fun for a while, but I wanted a real acting job, where I was speaking! Sadly, in Los Angeles, there is too much competition. Every race and age is represented: old, young, black, white, Asian, and thousands of blondish-red haired Midwestern types like me. Being an extra couldn’t make enough money for me to live in LA. I had to do something else for money.
After three years of trying, I gave up my dream of being an actor and started a different career. I then tried network-marketing, but in the end, that failed. Seven years after graduating from college, I was still in debt, still searching for a satisfactory life. I decided to go back to civil engineering.
However, I was starting to get very disappointed with my life. Why is life not like what I expected?
I expected to have made a lot of money, gotten married, with a house and nice cars, kids, time freedom, etc. Millions of people lead lives with their dreams shelved, existing but not really living. I want my life to be different, more satisfactory, more alive. America was not providing that for me…
In addition, America was too expensive----always worrying about money was a headache. I wanted a life filled with adventure, romance, friendships, successes, and dreams realized.

I decided to move to China.

B. A lot of people are living with dreams though their life is not that enjoyable.
C. A lot of people give up their dreams and yet are living a good life.
D. A lot of people don’t have dreams, nor do they want to live either.
53. What did the writer do before he finally decided to move to China?
A. Engineerextramarketingengineer.           B. Extramarketingengineer.
C. Engineerextramarketing .                           D. Extraengineermarketing.

David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.
But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon(跟腱)which means he could be out of action for around six months. With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.
The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league. After attempting to kick the ball he collapsed to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered(被担架抬走)away.
It is not yet known whether he has completely severed(切断)his Achilles tendon or only torn it. The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.
England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.
"We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement. "I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.
"David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."
Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed(共鸣)Capello's words of support:
"It is a horrible situation for Beckham. I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.
David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.
Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.
Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.
If he could repeat the same feat,in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.
So, perhaps all is not lost. Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:
"You never want to write off(排除)David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back(恢复原状)."
56.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Beckham had a dream?
B.Beckham—a great football player!
C.The end for Beckham?
D.World Cup in South Africa!
57.What does the author mean by saying “missing it will be a big blow?”
