　　The United States of America is mainly an English-speaking country．The majority of the population speak English as their native language．Besides, education, social activities, etc．are conducted(进行)in English．Across but for the most part, Americans speak one common language．This language is sometimes called American English．

　　However, not everyone in the USA is a native speaker of English．Most immigrants(移民)are speakers of other languages．There are hundreds of communities around the USA where English is not the most commonly used language．Chinese, Italian, German, Greek, Spanish and French are all spoken in various communities in the USA．Spanish is the second most commonly spoken Language after English．It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country．For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention．Non-English speakers were expected to“pick up”the language by meeting with others in public．Recently, this has changed．

　　Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL(English as a Second Language)programs：American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will use it．Therefore, ESL programs offer different English lessons to different students．Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public．Other programs teach the kind of English people who will need for their jobs．

　　American ESL instructional methods do not lay emphasis on grammar or translation, but on the importance of communication．The goal is to get the English learners to learn by using the language．

In the southern part of America, when somebody has a birthday, often family or friends, or both, will arrange a party. The party could be elaborate(精心准备的)and include a meal or may be simple with a birthday cake and drinks. One does not plan, nor give, one’s own birthday as is the custom in some cultures. At a party there is usually a decorated cake, often with the words “Happy Birthday” and with the name of the person written on the top of the cake. Sometimes there is also one candle for each year of the person celebrating the birthday before the cake is cut. While blowing out the candles, the person makes a wish for something pleasant.
Usually those invited to a birthday party will bring a gift for the person honored. Gifts given by friends do not have to be expensive, but the family of the birthday person will spend whatever they can afford on a gift.
Christmas parties also are very popular in the South. Often this is the only time during the year that some people see acquaintances(熟人). These parties can be elaborate or simple, ranging from a buffet(自助餐)to a reception called “open house (家庭招待会)”. If you are invited to one of these, you don’t need to take a Christmas gift, as it is not customary to take the hostess a gift every time you are invited to a party or a meal. However, if you wish to take a gift, it should only be something useful and inexpensive and should be given to the hostess at the door as you enter the party. Usually gifts of Christmas food treats are the most appreciated.
51. On one’s birthday, before blowing out the candles, he or she will______.
A. wear beautiful clothes          B. eat birthday cake
C. invite friends                 D. make a wish

54. Which of the following is true?
A.For a birthday party, the cake is often cut before candles are blown out.
B.For a birthday party, neither friends nor the family will buy expensive presents.
C. It’s customary to take the hostess a gift when you are invited to a party.

Australian Flag Designs by Readers of the Sun-Herald
We received dozens of responses after inviting readers to send in their designs for a new flag. The designs we received include:
James Anthony, Drummoyne
James reduces the Union Jack down in size and changes its shape to become a reminder of the British tradition rather than canceling it altogether. At the same time he suggests enlarging the stars of the Southern Cross. His design attempts to use the best of both worlds in a newly designed flag.
As he says, “the British part of the Australian Flag is too big and the Australian bits are too small. When you make the stars bigger the Australian flag can look impressive.”
Joe Bollen, Turranmurra
Joe’s flag has the main elements of a risen sun, white horizon(地平线), red earth at the base and the Southern Cross. He intends to make the risen sun a special Australian symbol on the flag. He believes it represents life. The Southern Cross shows that we live in the Southern Hemisphere. (半球)
Maria Ieraci, Sydney
Maria deleted the Union Jack but otherwise kept the flag as is with the Southern Cross and Federation Star. She says, ‘There is only one correct way to change the Australian flag” and that is “to drop the Union Jack ---- when Australia becomes a Republic”, which she hopes will be before 2010.
Ron Bennett, Sydney
Ron recommends using the Aboriginal colors but replacing their image of the sun with the map of Australia. He says, “Australia is unique being an island continent with an instantly recognizable outline at that” and “this will leave no doubt as to which country the flag belongs.”
