【题目】You drive down the highway with your family or friends in the car,camping equipment and spare clothes in the back.Your windows are down and the wind is hitting you in the face.These are the makings of a classic US road trip.

Road trips are quite common in the country,especially during the Thanks-giving holiday,which is the busiest travel time of the year in the country for families and friends who want to get together.

And for students,going on a road trip is traditional after graduating from high school or college with their schoolmates.It usually involves traveling great distances across the US and camping out whenever possible. Destinations are different depending on where in the country someone is located.But they all show the same kind of adventure.Popular spots to travel to include Yellowstone National Park,the Grand Canon.

However,the most famous of all road trip journey is travelling across the US on Route 66.Route 66 begins in Chicago and ends in Los Angeles.The route goes past many of the lesser-known states.However,it's the bizarre（稀奇古怪的）and wonderful small attractions that draw many road trippers to them.The attractions one sees on these trips are quite strange and very difficult to explain to non-American.They are filled with gas stations that still look like they did back in the 1950s and small restaurants known as "mom and pop restaurants" where you can eat a greasy cheeseburger with a delicious milkshake.Route 66 is also filled with quite unusual,but still fascinating wonders.

Deep down,US road trips show the spirit of freedom and openness.The idea is that if you have a car,you have freedom to escape,to discover,to find yourself,to lose yourself.It's a powerful call,one that is part of the US' identity and culture.It is a must-do for anyone who plans to spend time in the US to see the country and all of its wonders.An old saying—"It's not the destination,it's the journey"—best explains what the experience of a road trip truly offers.

UK education is all about giving you inspiration to develop your knowledge and skills, freedom to be creative, and support to help you achieve your best.

On a UK course you will benefit from excellent teaching and facilities. In order to accept students, UK education centres must meet strict quality standards set by the UK government and education bodies.

With such a good reputation for research and education, universities and colleges in the UK attract some of the world's leading academics and professionals. You will be encouraged to express your own ideas and think for yourself.

The attention to quality is reflected in the UK's excellent results:

Four of the top six universities in the world are in the UK.

The UK is a world-leading research nation. 54% of the research conducted by UK universities and colleges is classed as either “world-leading” or “internationally excellent”.

At the most recent inspection, 97% of further education colleges were judged satisfactory or better, for their overall effectiveness.

In the recent BIS Tracking International Graduate Outcomes survey, more than 88% of international higher education graduates said they were satisfied with their UK learning experience.

Likewise, in the Higher Education Academy Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey of UK postgraduate students, 93% rated the quality of teaching positively.

For English language students, you'll find the UK has long been at the forefront of language teaching, and pioneered many of the techniques now used around the world. The emphasis is on learning the language through fun and participation: Instead of just listening to your teacher, your classes will involve games, problem-solving and discussions. You might also listen to songs, watch television or read magazines to practise your comprehension skills.

The UK’s boarding schools also offer excellent teaching, facilities and support. At UK independent schools (most boarding schools are independent), a teacher has just 9.4 pupils on average, so teachers have more time to give you individual support. This is reflected in the results: 91% of students from UK independent schools go on to higher education.

【题目】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.

A. express oneself B. practise grammar rules

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