_ Many Chinese students don’t pay much attention to（注意） spoken English at school. They think it necessary to practise speaking English in class, but not out of class. Here is a story to show you how important it is to speak the English language freely in everyday life.

A foreigner once got hungry and went into a restaurant in London. He sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again in order to express that he wanted something to eat for he could not speak English. The waiter soon brought a cup of tea. The man shook（摇动）his head. The waiter then took away the tea and brought a cup of coffee. The man again shook his head. He tried again and again, but he wasn’t able to make the waiter understand him. Finally another man came in. He spoke English clearly and fluently. In a few minutes, there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table before him.

So you see a man often goes hungry if he doesn’t master（掌握） a foreign language.

Judge the following sentences true（T）or false（F）

 （　　）1.Chinese students pay little attention to spoken English.

（　　）2.The students only practise speaking English in class.

（　　）3.The story happened in a restaurant in New York.

（　　）4.The man wanted to eat something because he was hungry.

（　　）5.Another man spoke English very well

“No, no.” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. If he can’t find it, he’ll telephone the police,”

They thought for a few minutes. Then the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass. Why not put some forgetful grass into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.”

In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind-the culture（文化）of the country.

       In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas, Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves, There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought（思想）. The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.

       In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason. The education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas; Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen, There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat（重复）rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.

       In many ways these differences come form different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make is easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.

Answer the questions according to what you read above

1.Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?

2.There is often discussion in the classroom in America, isn’t there?

3.What does the education in the United States encourage?

4.Which does the education in some Asian countries pay more attention to, group goals or personal ideas?

5.Put the sentence“ In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.” into Chinese.
