What is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and earning lists of words—the longer the list, the better. That's wrong．Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information．It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently（流利地）．They are afraid of making mistakes．One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too．Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly．"But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language．And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right．People not only make history, they make language．But a people can only make its own language．It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo（做过头）it. They should put communication first.

1.Language is used to ________.

A. express oneself B. practise grammar rules

C. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words

2.Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.

3."Foreigners often speak English too correctly．"This sentence means that ________.

A. foreigners speak correct English

B. foreigners speak incorrect English

C. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules

D. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English

4.When we speak a foreign language, we should ________.

“There’s Always a John”

By Darla Boyd

My first year of teaching, there was a kid named John in my class. John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me crazy. While talking about him one day, an old teacher put his hand on my shoulder and said, “There will always be a John. Your job is to lean, to discover what make him different and help him grow better.” The next year, there was indeed another John. In the last 20 years, I’ve learned to enjoy all the kids like John. That advice taught me that there is something to appreciate in everyone.

“An Early Key Lesson”

By Elaine West

Before I began my first teaching job, my mother, a teacher of 30 years, gave me a very special gift, five simple words that have had an effect on my entire life: “Make friends with the janitor (门卫).” Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of characters and continue to enrich my life to this day. Just five little words but what an impact they can have when you take them to heart.

“Raising Mommy”

By Jan Davis

Being a mother can always present challenges and rewards. Someone told me early in my parenting career that “Children will teach you everything you need to know”. Being a mother is being raised. Our children become our advisers. Their dreams become our professors, as we are taking notes carefully. The sounds of their laughter and smiles on their faces are a great reward to us or bring us great joy. Their tears remind us that it is okay to fail, wipe the tears away and try again.

1.What did the old teacher mean by saying “There will always be a John”?

A. There are always difficult students like John.

B. John will always be an ordinary student.

C. It is important to change John.

D. John is a very common name.

2.What did Elaine West’s mother advise her to do?

A. Don’t treat students differently.

B. Take care of janitors.

C. Respect people from different backgrounds.

A. A mother should be given more care.

B. A mother improves herself greatly in parenting.

C. Being a mother has more challenges than rewards.

D. Children should realize the dreams of their parents.

4.The text is most probably a(n) .

A. notice inviting contributions. B. introduction to a contest.

C. ad for three new books. D. poster about a lecture.

Some people get pleasure from picnics and tours. Others like to discuss various topics and find pleasure in it. But the reading of books provides us with such pleasure as we do not get from any other activity.

Books are written by learned people. They contain the best experiences and thoughts of their writers. Writers put in their books not only their own ideas and feelings, but also what they observe and find in society.1.

If we are in a cheerful mood, our joy is increased by reading.2.They provide us with the best advice and guidance in our difficulties. Indeed, books are our best friends as they help us in our hour of need.

3.They entertain us in our spare moments. Good novels, books on poetry and short stories, give us great enjoyment. At times we become so absorbed in our books that we forget even our important arrangements. Loneliness is no trouble for a reader.

4.They give us sound moral advice. It is through the reading of books that we learn what to love and what to hate. The reading of good books develops and improves our character.

It was the English author Bacon who said that reading makes a full man. No one can question the truth of this saying. 5.Some books are such that instead of doing any good, they do harm to the readers. So it is the reading of good books alone that presents us the greatest benefit.

A. Books keep us well-informed.

B. Books contain grains of wisdom.

C. When we are alone, books are our best friends.

D. Books enable us to know the best of the colorful world.

E. When we are in a depressed mood, books comfort our troubled minds.

F. But we cannot get full advantage from reading, if our choice is not good.
