My name is A. J. Hoge. I am the creator of the Effortless English Teaching System and I am the Founder and Director of The Effortless English Club——one of the most popular English learning systems in the world. My audio lessons are best－sellers in over 25 countries and my radio podcast (播客)has over one million listeners worldwide. I am also the publisher of the Effortless English Online Newsletter, which has over half a million subscribers(用户) (and growing every day). I am a leading expert on topics related to English speaking success and teaching mastery.
I created the Effortless English Teaching System after many years of teaching English in universities. My former students include business professionals, scientists, teachers, professors, graduate students, and many other successful adult English learners. These students were just like you. They were frustrated English learners who could not speak well. Using the Effortless English system, they learned to speak English easily and automatically.
Each of these students made incredible improvements in a very short time. You also will improve quickly when you use the entire Effortless English System. The Effortless English System is designed for you——the independent adult learner. Effortless English focuses exclusively on speaking and listening skills. The system is designed to improve your speaking power as quickly as possible——using proven and tested methods.
When you follow the entire system every day for 6 months, your speaking becomes much faster and easier. Your spoken grammar improves powerfully——yet you will never study grammar rules in this system. Your pronunciation improves powerfully——yet you will not focus on pronunciation.

In Germany, English expressions are used in conversations and increasingly in written form. Advertisements are often expressed completely in English. When I go to the gym, there are “aerobic-classes (增氧健身法课程)”. We “warm up”. We go “jogging.” In business, we attend a “meeting” and we have “good connections.”
Other nations, like France, have taken action to protect their language from the influence of “Americanization”. In Germany, however, there is concern that those rules could be connected with Hitler’s Third Reich (帝国), when the language had to be pure. If the government curbed（限制）the use of English words now, this could be considered by some as a return to that terrible past.
Some German citizens are now trying to stop the use of English vocabulary in German. However, I think generally it is not a big deal to use some common English expressions as they often describe things more directly. But we should know that it is important to use English correctly. All too often, bad English is spoken or even written instead of good German. The proper use of the German language would be the better choice. However, there are some fields that require the use of English words, for example, in the high-tech communication and the Internet fields, there is no alternative to English. Also, I think sometimes I have to speak English when I introduce some scenic places to tourists.
I think you have to find a balance and decide when it is better to use good German in place of bad English or when the use of correct English words is more suitable. Languages have always changed naturally, and I disagree with a restriction by law. Some nice expressions borrowed from other languages can make a conversation more vivid.

A "talking kitchen" teaches students how to cook French and speak French. Researchers at New Castle University in the United Kingdom have developed the French Digital Kitchen. Professors Paul Seedhouse and Patrick Olivier led the project. Professor Seedhouse told us that it works like a satellite navigation（导航）systemin a car.
The kitchen equipment and tools use motion sensor（动作传感器）technology. The sensors help a computer guide the students through instructions in French.
The system can tell whether you've done what you were asked to do or not. For example, the system tells you to take some butter and cut it with a knife. There's a sensor on the package containing the butter so it can tell where the butter's being moved. The sensor in the knife not only knows that the knife is moving, but it also knows what motion the knife is making. So it can know whether the knife is cutting or not. And it doesn't go on to the next step of the program unless you've done what it senses you've done.
Students can ask the computer to repeat the instructions or translate them into English. There are vocabulary lessons before and after the cooking.
Professor Seedhouse says the French Digital Kitchen turns the process of learning language into a real-life experience. "Here you're taking it out of the classroom and you're actually using the language to produce something which you can eat at the end of it. It's very enjoyable."
The system could be available for sale by the end of 2012. Adding the technology to a new kitchen could add about ten to twenty percent to the building costs. The researchers have also been given money to develop programs in six other languages, including English, Italian and Spanish.
68. The “talking kitchen” developed by New Castle University is mainly aimed at .
A. helping students who love French foods
B. helping house owners prepare their meals
C. helping learners who study French as a foreign language
D. helping housewives who want to learn cooking French foods
69. The third paragraph mainly tell us .
A.what the system is B. how the system works
C.what a motion sensor is D. how the system was invented
70. What does the underlined word “it” (in Para 5) refer to?
A. French food. B. French language.
C. The process of cooking and learning. D. The process of listening and translating.
71. What would be the best title for the passage? .
A. Learn While Eating. B. A Talking Kitchen.
C. A New Trend of Kitchen. D. Kitchens Become Classrooms.
