“Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!”Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not guarantee（保证）success for every adult language learner.
Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in language learning. Conversely（相反的）, some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.
Language teachers often offer advice to language learners.“Read as much as you can in the new language. Practice speaking the language every day. Live with people who speak the language.”“Don't translate--try to think in the new language. Learn as a child would learn: play with the language.”
But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
First of all, successful language learners are independent（独立的）learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They discover their own way to learn the language, instead of waiting for the teacher to explain. They try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues（线索）and form their own conclusions.
Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.
What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.
(1)A successful language learner must ________.
[ ]
A．be very intelligent
B．depend on a good book or teacher
C．always try to speak correctly
D．try to learn the new language independently, actively, and purposefully
(2)Which of the following would most probably NOT be a piece of advice offered by a language teacher?
[ ]
A．Never guess the meaning of a word.
B．Don't translate--try to think in the new language.
C．Find every chance to speak the language.
D．Read as much as possible in the new language.
(3)The expression“play with the language”in Para graph 3 means to ________.
[ ]
A．learn the language to play with a child
B．learn the language from a child
C．learn the language in a more natural way
D．use the language as a boy
(4)According to the text, thinking in the language is more important than knowing the meaning of every word of the language. Why?
[ ]
A．Knowing the meaning of every word is useless.
B．Thinking in the language is easier than knowing the meaning of every word.
C．Knowing the meaning of every word requires more time.
D．When thinking in the language, you are using the language in an active way.

查看习题详情和答案>>“Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, practical and easy to deal with. It is 36 to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to 37 accepts other people as equals. A down-to-earth is just the 38 of someone who acts importantly and proudly.
Down-to-earth persons may be 39 members of society, of course. But they do not let their importance “go to their 40 ”. They do not 41 themselves to be better persons than others of less importance. Someone who is filled with his own importance and 42 , often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”. There is no way a person with his nose in the 43 can be down-to-earth. Americans use another expression that means almost the same 44 “down-to-earth”. The expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”. Someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person 45 a good understanding of reality. He has what is called “ 46 sense”. He may have 47 , but he does not allow them to 48 his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is 49 who has his “head-in-the-clouds”．A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the 50 world.
Sometimes 51 a dreamer can be brought back to earth. 52 words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.
Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very 53 to have both-feet-on-the-ground.
54 we have both our feet on-the-ground, or when we are down-to-earth, we act 55 and openly toward others．Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.
