If you are planning to learn a foreign language, here are some suggestions about language learning. I hope these suggestions can help improve your learning of a foreign language

Try to set aside some time every day for your study when your brain is at the most time for receiving information. It’s better to study for 30 minutes every day than for 3 hours once a week. If you can spare two or three hours a day, break them up into some periods to avoid brain getting tired.

Go over each lesson several times, perhaps once in the morning, once in the evening and once several days later. Give your brain time to understand the material, but the break between periods of study shouldn’t be too long, or you will forget most of what you’ve learned.

Make sure you’re comfortable with the bases of the language before learning the more advanced knowledge. Without full understanding of basic knowledge such as words pronunciation and spelling, you’ll find it very difficult to learn more.

Setting proper targets is a good way to encourage yourself. You could set yourself a time limit or aim for a certain level.

Once you have mastered the bases of the language, learn to apply them to the things that you’re interested in. In this way you are more likely to remember the words, phrases and grammatical constructions you meet.

You will find that at times you’re making rapid progress, while sometimes you seem to stand still or even go backwards. This is normal when learning a language, so don’t be discouraged.

Making mistakes in a foreign language is nothing to worry about. What matters is getting your message across, not whether you use all the right words, tenses, cases, etc. If you cannot think of the exact words, try using other ones.

1.What is the best time plan for studying a foreign language ?

A．A long period every day.                  B．Several short periods every day.

C．A long period once a week.                D．Several short periods a week.

2.The break between periods of study shouldn’t be too long, because ___________.

A．you will be unable to go over a lesson for several times

B．you will be too tired to continue your study

C．you will waste a lot of time for study

D．you will forget what you are trying to learn easily

3.If you don’t fully understand the basic knowledge, you will ____________.

A．be unable to go on with your study          B．be uncomfortable with yourself

C．feel it very difficult to learn more           D．stop learning more in a short time

4.According to the author, which of the following is NOT true ?

A．Setting a goal can help you make rapid progress.

B．you should use what you’ve learned frequently to remember them.

C．Sometimes you may not make any progress.

D．Mistakes are quite normal in learning a language.

5.The purpose of this passage is ____________.

A．to give some advice on foreign language learning

B．to help students get high marks in foreign language exam

A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.

The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.

He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.

The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.

“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news.

Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.

“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.

Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.

Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的) state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.

“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”

“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.

1.Who found the Swedish man in the snow?

A．Snowmobilers      B．The police         C．A rescue team      D．Local people

C．police had some doubt on the fact          D．police had reasons to doubt the fact

3.The reason why the man could survive was most probably that 　　　　.

A．he was only forty-five year old             B．he did not use any energy

4.Which is the correct order of the following events?

a．The Swedish man was stuck in the snow.     b．He was sent to Umea University Hospital.

c．He was found by snowmobilers.            d．He was recovering after treatment.

e．He stayed in his car for nearly two months.   f．He was dug out by people.

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．A Traffic Accident                       B．A Long Sleep in Winter

C．An Incredible Survival                    D．A Successful Rescue

What happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.

For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.

Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can't be seen during most scans.

According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.

This pattern of white matter loss is "similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury", like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.

The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.

1.The passage is most probably a______.

A．news report                           B．research report

C．story for soccer players                   D．text for doctors

2.In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain?

A．Computerized test.                      B．Questionnaire..

C．Scanning.                             D．M.R.I. technique.

3.From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.

A．significant effect on brain                 B．little effect on one's brain

C．nothing to do with the brain injury          D．one's memory improved

4.What is likely to be the cause of memory loss?

A．Playing soccer frequently.                 B．Tests of their memory.

C．White matter loss.                       D．Information processing.

5.The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.

A．remembering                          B．misunderstanding

C．recalling                              D．missing
