In 2004,I was 22 years old and had just come back to Brazil after 14 months in England,holding my Cambridge Proficiency certificate.After nervously  21  a short training course,I began to give classes to my 12 students,all of them older than I was. I  22  hard to remain clam in class and  23  they wouldn't find out how unconfident I felt most of the time.I was quite _24_,actually,until the end of  25  and the night of the final oral test.
The test was going to start at 7 pm,and at 6:50, I_ 26  myself in the teachers bathroom to  27  all the test questions again.I really wanted to learn the 28  by heart so no one would think I was an inexperienced tester.The  29  is,I actually locked myself in the bathroom.I  30  couldn't get out!The bell rang at 7 pm and I could hear the noise in the halls  31  the students went to their rooms.I tried hard to 32  the bathroom door,but failed.
I heard the cleaning lady’s voice and asked for help as  33  as I could, However, she wasn't exactly a thoughtful person, and started  34 ：“Diana’s locked in the bathroom!”Shame had fallen upon me!  35  , the course director, the secretary and some teachers were outside the bathroom trying to get me out, and,  36  ,my students gathered outside too, happily saying things like“Aren’t we  37 ! No test today!”All I could do was 38  , and my entire  39  was waiting for me outside, naughty smiles on their faces.“ 40 ！Teacher.”They said,“We know you are human too!”
They all passed their test.True to the Brazilian style, we all went out for a beer afterwards, and laughed the whole thing off.

Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.
Speak, speak, speak
Practise speaking as often as you can—even speaking to yourself is good practice.
Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version, see how you can do better and have another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or a family member to study with you, it will make you keep working.
Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know.
Practise improvising（即兴的）ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously（本能地）, even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.
Language learning is also about intuition（直觉）.
Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand everything first round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time.
Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back to them later.
And above all, have fun!
小题1:Why should one have himself recorded when practicing speaking?
A．To improve his speaking.B．To record his own progress.
C．To encourage others to start.D．To compare himself with others.
小题2:In the writer’s opinion, which of the following is the most important in leaning English?

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farmstead, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma（哮喘）, and at times the air is so dirty that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
小题1:What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A．Staying on the farm.B．Moving to the countryside.
C．Leaving home for the city.D．Running away from the school.
小题2:Which of the following is true about the writer?
A．He is very old now.B．He is in good health.
C．He prefers driving a car.D．He lives in the city now.
小题3:In the passage, the writer tries to _________.
A．express his opinions about way of life
B．describe his life in the countryside
C．show an interest in the outside world
D．persuade the reader to live in the city
小题4:How is the passage mainly developed?
A．By inferring.B．By comparing.
C．By listing examples.D．By giving explanations.
It is six o’clock in the morning. You are asleep in my left arm and I am learning the art of one-handed typing. Your mother, more tired yet more happy than I’ve ever known her, is sound asleep in the room next door.
When you’re older we’ll tell you that you were born in Hong Kong in the lunar year of the pig. “It's a boy, so lucky,” our neighbours told us. They said you were the first baby to be born in the block this year. This, they told us, was good Feng Shui, in other words, a positive sign. Naturally your mother and I were only too happy to believe that.
Your coming has turned me upside down and inside out. I am pained by the memory of each suffering child I have come across on my journeys as a journalist. To tell you the truth, it’s nearly too much for me to even think of the children being hurt and abused and killed.
Last October, in Afghanistan, when you were growing inside your mother, I met Sharja, aged twelve, motherless, fatherless, guiding me through the grey ruins of her home. Everything was gone, she told me.
There is another memory of Rwanda, and the churchyard where I found a mother and her three young children huddled(蜷缩) together where they’d been beaten to death. The children had died holding on to their mother.
Daniel, these memories explain some of the protectiveness I feel for you, and the occasional moments of blind terror when I imagine anything bad happening to you.
小题1:We can see that this text is written to ________.
A．the author’s wifeB．the author’s neighbour
C．DanielD．a suffering child
小题2:The author mentions some of his painful memories because ________.
A．he wants his son to care for others
B．he feels more pain thinking about them as a father
C．he hopes to forget the tragedies he witnessed
D．his experience has affected his mental health
小题3:The underlined word “blind” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．unable to seeB．meaningful
C．not clearD．not based on reason
小题4:Which of the following words best describes the author’s feeling when typing this text?
A．Relieved.B．Regretful.C．Loving.D．Calm.
No matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. You can be pleased with the fact that the number of such is relatively small.
It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity (一致性) in the lists which represent the best choices of any period. In every age, the list makers include both ancient and modern books in their selections, and they always wonder whether the moderns are up to the great books of the past.
What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
Great books are probably the most widely read. They are enduring best sellers. Gone with the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.
Great books are popular, not pedantic. They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.
Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.
Great books deal with the continuously unsolved problems of human life. There are mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Inquiry not begins with wonder, but usually ends with it also. Great minds acknowledge mysteries only honestly. Wisdom is encouraged, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.
小题1:Which is not the criterion in the following when considering a great book?
A．Although not a best seller, it must be the most widely read．
B．A great book can be read without any effort．
C．Great books are never out of date．
D．Great books will not disappoint you if you try to read them well．
小题2:According to the author, Gone with the Wind is     .
A．a best sellerB．disliked by readers who like Shakespeare
C．read more often than Don QuixoteD．a great book
小题3:In the passage the underlined word “pedantic” means        ．
A．showing the feelings, esp., those of kindness, which people are supposed to have
B．serving as practical examples
C．being elementary
D．paying too much attention to details in books
小题4:The best title for this passage is        .
A．Great Books in Your LifeB．Great Books in Your Specialty
C．How to Find a Great Book?D．What Is a Great Book?
Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city．
1．Take pictures
One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with a person．Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves，and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”．This can be the seed that leads to new connections．The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it．
2．Eat alone in public
You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit：you are much easier to approach when you are alone．People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else．Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make  you feel less self-conscious)．Plus，having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it．
3．Join a class，sports team，or club
Yoga，salsa dancing，volleyball，Toastmasters (a public speaking club)，a class for work，etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!
These are all great places to meet new people，primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class．You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again．
Tips：
* In the beginning．never turn down an invitation from someone，even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do．
* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are, If they have a better plan you can drop (放弃) yours and join them．This will help establish（建立） you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend) ．
*Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person．People don’t want to be around someone like that！
小题1:     can give you an excuse to start new connections．
A．Taking pictures of othersB．Eating by yourself in public
C．Reading interesting books D．Joining group activities
小题2:According to the text，which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining a class?
A．It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby．
B．It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you．
C．It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly．
D．It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city．
小题3:Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?
A．Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy．
B．Never turn down an invitation from your friends．
C．Offer suggestions on how to spend time together．
D．Don’t give a negative response to any request．
Sports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.
小题1:According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that       
A．it can help them learn more about society
B．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
C．it enables them to find flaws in themselves
D．it can provide them with valuable experiences
小题2:According to the passage parents and coaches should       
A．help children to win every game
B．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports
C．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports
D．train children to deal with stress
小题3:The author’s purpose in writing the passage is        
A．to persuade young children not to worry about criticism
B．to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to children
C．to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragement
D．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
