    A relative of mine once asked me: “Why should a Chinese take time to learn a language that is not his own?” Obviously he has ___37___ in learning a foreign language. He is not the only one who is mentally against English learning. One reason, as I suspect, is the way English is taught. The emphasis on memorization is such that no ___38___ is left in the process, only endless irritation. What students are presented in the classroom is not the language in real-world ___39___. A Chinese student with extremely high scores for American standardized tests was ___40___ into one of the most famous universities. But his professors soon found out that he could ___41___ understand them in the classroom. Suspecting that he ___42___ in the tests, the school demanded he repeat them. Again, he passed with high scores. Not till then did they realize that the student had mastered the techniques for dealing with the tests, not ___43___ the skills of using the language.

　　Many people take TOFEL, IELTS, GRE, annual Band 4 and Band 6 exams not because they work in areas where English is a ___44___ tool, but because they have to do it for job promotion or enrolment in certain programmes.

　　Must English learning be such a pain in the neck?

　　Create a(n)___45____ where learning English is natural and painless. Don't make it compulsory for people whose work or major does not require it. China will not become more international by adding millions of people who can only say a simple "Hello."

　　Voices and fingers usually prevent us from reading fast． Young children and even old people learning to read move their fingers along the line of the piece being read, pointing to each word, sometimes even each letter one after another, and saying them to themselves in a low voice． Sometimes the reader makes no sound at all, but keeps moving the inside part of his mouth to pronounce silently． However, no matter how the reader moves his mouth while reading, seen or unseen, visible or invisible, it will be impossible for him to reach a speed of more than about 280 w．p．m．

　　Reading must be done by seeing instead of with any sort of sound-producing． The reader　　must be able to read more than one word at a time． When looking straight or directly at only one word in a line of reading, one can clearly see at least two other words on both sides in the same line． In other words, the reader can read three words at one glance． Thus looking straight at one word one can at least take in a whole phrase or even a complete short sentence on one line． Very often less than three eye movements will cover a whole line．
