Students from Sugg Middle School wore blue aprons (围裙) and washed the potatoes before the bell rang. They were preparing a festival meal. For most of the students it was their first “real kitchen ” experience.

Valerie started the course last year. She said not every lesson was about cooking. Students also learned about the science behind cooking and nutrition, from which people got the food necessary for health and growth.

“I come home with recipes(食谱) , and my dad tells me cooking is a valuable skill and we should make it more often.” Valerie said.

Phillip was enjoying the class, even though burns (烧伤) and cuts happened often. He told a local newspaper, “Cooking is not of much interest to my age group, but our teacher, Mr. Green, makes it fun. I like to see what is in my food. ”

Mr. Green thought that cooking was a chance for students to practice teamwork skills . He said, “Everyone helps one another. They learn to share and work together.”

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 do it better and faster.

If you love learning English, you will do it regularly(有规律地) and spend more 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 WarⅡ. If you ask a person who doesn’t like history to memorize all the facts, he probably can’t do it.

When you want to learn English, you can do the following things:

First, imagine(想象) that you can talk to native(本土的) speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager(经理) in a foreign company(公司). Imagine you are 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 will learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, sing English songs, and read interesting books written in English as well.

1. The underlined word “passion” means “_______” in Chinese.

A. 热情 B. 态度 C. 步骤 D. 情感

2.The missing(空白的) part in the third paragraph can be __________.

A. You can’t memorize everywhere in learning English

B. You will find it hard to learn English

C. Everyone likes to learn what they like most

D. That’s because you can easily remember what you like

3.What can you do if you want to learn English according to the passage?

A. Stop learning it for some time.

B. Read interesting English books.

C. Listen to music or play sports.

D. Go to English-speaking countries.

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the writer?

A. Learning methods are more important than passion.

B. You need two things if you want to learn English well.

C. It’s easy for you to remember new words or grammar rules if you are an English lover.

D. It’s difficult for a person to know a lot about World WarⅡif he isn’t interested in history.

5.The main idea of this passage is about _______.
