Do you know the man in the picture? He is William Lindesay, a British 1.(旅行者) and writer, who has been exploring(探索) the Great Wall—one of the human's most 2.(了不起的) building projects. Not even a Chinese knows the Great Wall of China as well as he does.

When, as a schoolboy, Lindesay 3.(期待) to explore the Great Wall, nobody took him seriously. But Lindesay 4.(真正地) made his dream come true, by spending 25 years on the Great Wall and has become one of the world's most famous 5.(专家) on its rich history. Lindesay now lives and works in Beijing. This year his new book has come out, The Great Wall Explained, with a lot of photos and 6.(文章).

Running on the Great Wall was a brave trip and he would 7.(受伤) himself. Lindesay had 8.(已经) run 3，000 kilometers along it! During those years, he got to many villages along the way. Lindesay was often helped by friendly villagers who were 9.(愿意的) to help others, although they 10.(想知道) why the Englishman would have such hobby in the Great Wall.

As an Englishman, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

Some statistics（数据）from the survey done by the European Commission（欧盟委员会）showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why my people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude（态度）to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decided to try!

April Fool’s Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world. On that day people play all kinds of tricks and jokes on each other.

One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their local supermarket to buy as much as spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out. In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water. They said it would help people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months. By the end of the day,　more than 10000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this water.

Many April Fool’s jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star asked his girlfriend to marry him on his TV show. The girl said “Yes.” But he replied, “April Fool !” That joke didn’t have a very happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled.

One of the world’s most famous tricks, however, happened in October rather than in April. In that month in 1938, actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. People believed the story and fear spread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax, many people had left their homes.
