20．Some students like to translate when they practice speaking English．Translation is a very difficu——青夏教育精英家教网—

Some students like to translate（翻译） when they practice speaking English．Translation is a very difficult exercise．During a conversation，we don't really have time to translate what we understand．When we use translation，we don't develop the necessary reflexes （反应能力） needed to speak and understand a foreign language．It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning．It will help you later when your skills are good enough to take a conversation．
Here is some advice on how to build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar．
Relax!
No one is checking you except yourself!Look at each communication experience as an adventure．Try to relax first when you speak English．You will pick up on small details．
Context（上下文） is your friend．

What is context？It means the situation in which something happens and that helps to understand it．（2）We can make good guesses about what is being said by using the context．It will be easy when you think about the context．You will feel much more comfortable and confident if you remember that．
Ask questions what you want to know．
After you have proudly asked for tickets at the train station，the booking-office clerk （售票员） spoke a long sentence to you about the place and the time．You may be a little unclear or have only understood a part of it．However，you can ask questions about what you want to know，such as，"Did you say…？"and"Would you repeat that more slowly？"．So that you can easily move the communication forward．
Use body language．
Use body language to go with your words when you （1）to learn a （1）language．The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you and will be carefully listening to you．As you become more proficient （熟练的） in your second language，you will depend（依靠） more on the language and less on body language．But there is no shame for a beginner．

51．在（1）处的空白处分别填入一个适当的词使句意完整、上下文通顺．begin；second/foreign
52．将（2）句译成中文．我们可以通过上下文（语境）来很好的猜测到说的内容/说的话/说了什么．
53．回答问题：What does the writer want us to do first when we speak English？To relax
54．在文中找出与 Maybe you didn't hear clearly or understand all of it．意思相同或相近的句子，并将它写在答题卡上．You may be a little unclear or have only understood a part of it．
55．在文中找出最能表达该短文主题的句子，并将它写在答题纸上．Here is some advice on how to build up reflexes when you only have basic words or grammar．

19．It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs．In other words，they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't．It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs．But this isn't accepted by all people．
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living．This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education．In fact，if education is just a way of making a living，people don't need to spend so much time in school．People can get education for a living in a short time．Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone．Even language and maths need not be taught in detail，either．Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living．
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man．It is not only to teach him to speak，read and write，but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities．After that，it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human．Educationis to make a man lead a better life．Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music，read good books，watch plays and take an interest in the world．
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education，but certainly not the most important or the main reason．

46．People with little education usuallyD．
A．spend a long time in school
B．have a good chance to get a job
C．spend the best years to choose jobs

A．make a man lead a better life

16．If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life，try again now，one tiny step at a time．
Every year it's the same．As December comes to an end，you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life．But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year，you think about the last year．You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make，but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life．
Here's a suggestion：Forget the too big，hard-to-achieve goals（目标） and just think about the small ones．"We often think that we have to do everything in big steps，even though it's so hard for us to reach it．"said Robert Maurer，who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life．"What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can't find any excuse not to do it．"
"Kaizen"，a Japanese word，is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes（态度）．During World War Il，American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small，continuous improvements instead of sudden changes．After the war，the idea was brought to a rebuilding Japan．It made Japan develop fast．The Japanese called it"kaizen"，which means"improvement"．
