President Lincoln made a speech in Gettysburg (葛底斯堡).

The speech ended. Lincoln spoke for less than three minutes, and the photographer who was standing in front of him didn't even have time to take a picture. The speech was over almost before it began.

On the platform(讲台) Edward Everett, the great speechmaker, whispered to Seward, the Secretary of State, "It is not what I expected from him. I'm disappointed." Seward, too, thought that the President had given a poor speech.

Lincoln himself felt badly about his speech. He thought that it didn't have the effect that he hoped it would have, and that in fact it made the listeners disappointed. Later he said, "I ought to have prepared it with more care."

The newspapers too were not impressed by the President's Gettysburg speech. The nearby Harrisburg paper considered it "silly", while the reporter of the London Times thought the speech uninteresting. The first favorable comment (好评) came from the Chicago Tribune (论坛报), and was followed by the Springfield Republican, a Massachusetts newspaper. "It will be studied as a model speech..."

It was something she had dreamed of since she was five. Finally, after years of training and intensive (密集的) workouts, Deborah Duffey was going to compete in her first high school basketball game. The goals of becoming an outstanding player and playing college ball were never far from Deborah’s mind.

The game was against Mills High School. With 1:42 minutes left in the game, Deborah’s team led by one point. A player of Mills had possession of the ball, and Deborah ran to guard against her. As Deborah shuffled sideways to block the player, her knee went out and she collapsed on the court in burning pain. Just like that, Deborah’s season was over.

After suffering(拖着脚) the bad injury, Deborah found that, for the first time in her life, she was in a situation beyond her control. Game after game, she could do nothing but sit on the sidelines watching others play the game that she loved so much.

Injuries limited Deborah’s time on the court as she hurt her knees three more times in the next five years. She had to spend countless hours in a physical therapy(治疗;疗法) clinic to receive treatment. Her frequent visits there gave her a passion and respect for the profession. And Deborah began to see a new light in her life.

Currently a senior in college, Deborah focuses on pursuing a degree in physical therapy. After she graduates, Deborah plans to use her knowledge to educate people how to best take care of their bodies and cope with the feelings of hopelessness that she remembers so well.

  Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even just a little skilled at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the important reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and as a result never set about dealing with it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is skill, one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be reached just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to take no notice of, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So, the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this and his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that here is matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be time when other aspects(方面)of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.

  Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.

  It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be learned from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic(语言)theory. It is also possible in this may to get a clear. mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he may make on his students' pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time-wasted.

(1) According to the passage, ________ pronouncing foreign languages.

[  ]

A.few people are extremely good at

B.even modern people are not good at

C.only few people are somewhat good at

D.few people are at the average level in

(2) According to the author, pronunciation is a skill that can NOT be ________.

[  ]

A.picked up without conscious training
B.trained consciously
C.be taught
D.be carefully trained

(3) In the author's opinion, ________.

[  ]

A.grammar is less important than pronunciation

B.grammar and spelling should always make room for pronunciation

C.grammar and spelling are sometimes less important than pronunciation

D.grammar is more important than spelling
