People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?" Well, there's one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You've probably heard that it's the most spoken language. Today it's also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn't be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.
The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status(地位) in China as AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using QQ. They're at work, or in a web café(网吧), or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign on with your address set to "abroad", you'll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it's a very interesting way of cultural contact(文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact.
【小题1】In the first paragraph(段落), the writer tells us ___________.

English is very important in the modern world. Many people want to learn it well. Here are some things that I want to say about learning it.
To learn English well, you need two things－passion and good learning methods (方法). Passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to learn it better and faster.
If you love learning English, you will learn it regularly (有规律地) and spend much time on it. It will also be easy for you to remember new words and grammar rules. ________ For example, some people like history and know a lot about World War II. If you ask a person who doesn’t like history to memorize all the facts, he probably can’t do it.
When you don’t want to learn English, you can do the following things.
First, imagine that you can talk to native speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager in a foreign company. Imagine you’re living in an English-speaking country.
Second, use English as much as possible. This is very important. The more you use English, the better you’ll learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, write English diaries, and read interesting books written in English.
【小题1】The underlined word “passion” means “______” in Chinese.
