If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across，but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.

As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.

If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

1.According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?

A．Reading and listening.B．Reading and writing.

C．Writing and speaking.D．Speaking and listening.

2.The underlined phrase “come across” in the second paragraph can probably be replaced by “________”．

A．meet by accidentB．discover

C．find on purposeD．look for

3.The author seems to agree with the view that ________.

A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day

B．you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day

C．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening

D．you should take notes of whatever you are hearing

4.The passage is mainly about how to ________.

A．choose suitable listening materials

As graduation draws near, those who haven’t landed a job yet may be desperate to find one. Perhaps some of the job offers they have received are below their skill and experience levels. Is it better to take these offers, or reject them and remain unemployed?

Recently, David Pedulla, a University of Texas sociologist, conducted a study about how taking a job below your skill level could affect your future employment.

In the study, Pedulla developed resumes for imaginary job applicants. The job seekers he created had a few things in common. They had a college degree, worked nearly two years at their first job, and about 4.5 years at their second job. What differed was their third job in the most recent year. They either had a full-time job that matched their skills, a part-time job below their skill levels, or were unemployed.

Then Pedulla submitted 2,420 resumes based on his imaginary job seekers, along with cover letters, to online ads for 1,210 real jobs. Each applicant had a real phone number that employers could contact if they were interested in talking with the applicant further.

The callback rates varied widely based on how the imaginary job seekers had spent their last year. The applicants who had full-time jobs the previous year were called back 10.4 percent of the time. Those whose most recent year of employment was in a job below their skill levels were only called back about 5 percent. Male applicants unemployed for a year were called back 4.2 percent of the time, while the figure is 7.5 percent for unemployed females.

However, Pedulla cautioned that the experiment only measured the initial interest of employers in his fictional job candidates, not whether the employers would hire them or what they would be paid based on their most recent job experiences.

1.The purpose of the first paragraph is ________ .

A. to lead in the topic

B. to present an argument

C. to shock the reader

D. to describe the present situation in job seeking

2.Which statement is NOT true about Pedulla’s experiment?

A. The applicants had some things in common at their first two jobs.

B. The applicants’ resumes and phone numbers are created by Pedulla.

C. The applicants’ most recent job experiences affected the callback rates.

D. Unemployed female applicants got a higher callback rate than males.

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The applicants with a high callback rate would surely be hired.

B. The applicants’ most recent job experiences would decide their salaries.

C. There are some limits about what lessons can be taken from the study.

D. It is better to take a job offer below one’s skill level than to reject it.

4.In which section may the text appear in a newspaper?

A. Career B. Science

C. Culture D. Education
