Ron loved basketball. One afternoon on his way to a basketball game, he was walking and dreaming about playing college basketball the following year. As Ron was walking to the game, a car hit him so hard that he was thrown three feet into the air.
Ron woke up in a hospital room. When he learned that both his legs were broken, he realized his college basketball dreams were over. Ron did what the doctors told him, but his progress was slow. When he left the hospital, Ron was sent to a health center for physical treatment.
A week after he arrived there, he met Sunny. Sunny was a coach．His legs were hurt paralysed(瘫痪的) from a skiing accident. Even though he couldn’t move his legs, Sunny coached of a basketball team called the Suns. Everybody on the team played from a wheelchair. Sunny invited Tony to join the game. Tony played badly, but for the first time since the accident, he stopped feeling sorry for himself．
After becoming a part of the Suns, Ron improved quickly. Basketball was like medicine for him. And whenever Ron became depressed or angry, Sunny was there to encourage and help him. The day before Ron left the center, he had dinner with Sunny. He asked Sunny how he managed to be generous and cheerful, even with his paralysis.
Sunny smiled and said, “It’s really quite easy. When you keep your face to the sun, the shadows(阴影) fall behind.”

There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world。But only a few of them are very important．English is one of these．Many people use it，not only in England and the USA，but also in other parts of the world．About 200，000，000 people speak it as their own language．It is difficult to say how many peopie are learning it as a foreign language．Many millions of people are trying to do so．Is it easy or difficult to learn English?Different people may have different answers．Have you ever noticed ads(广告)of this kind in the newspapers or magazines?“Learn English in six weeks，or give your money back…”，“easy and funny…”，“Our records and tapes help you master English in a month”．Of course，it never happened quite like this．
The only language that seems easy to learn is t11e mother tongue．We should remember that
we all learned our own language well when we were children．If we could 1ea m English in the
same way，it would not seem so difficult．Think of what a small child does．He 1istens lo what people say．He tries what he hears．
So，it is hard to say that learning English is easy．We must do a Iot ofpractice．And practice needs great effort and takes much time．Good teachers，records，tapes，books，and dictionaries will be helpful，but they cannot do the student’s work for him．
