［1］ What does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.

［2］ First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. Instead of waiting for teachers to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.

［3］ Secondly, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but     . They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

［4］ Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language.

［5］ What kind of language learners are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques above.

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.

Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally (晚期的）in patients— even when those patients are their parents. This deprives（剥夺）the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.

Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.

It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies . Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up - to - date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death.

The elders of today's Americans _______ .

A. are often absent when a family member is born or dying

B. are unfamiliar with birth and death

C. usually see the birth or death of a family member

D. have often experienced the fear of death as part of life

Children in America are deprived of the chance to________.

A. visit a patient at hospital   B. visit their family members

C. learn how to face death    D. look after the patients

The need of a dying patient for people to accompany him shows________.

A. his wish for communication with other people      B. his fear of death   

C. his unwillingness to die             D. he feels very upset about his condition

It may be concluded from the passage that________.

A. dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition

B. dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death

C. most patients are unable to accept death until it can’t be avoided

D. most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need

—Hello, Jane. I come to say goodbye to you. I’ll start a new job in another company.

—_______.

A. Oh, no problem         B. Oh, enjoy yourself

C. Oh, all the best          D. Oh, have a happy day
