One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary (必要的) to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.

1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I…"

2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"

3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…"

You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing "is very important in understanding English, especially (尤其)spoken English.

1.This passage tells us mainly about _________.

A. the importance of "guessing " in learning a foreign language

B. how to guess what one is going to talk about

C. some examples of right guessing

D. how important it is to guess all the time

2.From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is _________.

A. "… so I didn't have a good time."         B. "…so I went to bed very late."

C. "…. So I felt unhappy."                      D. "… so I got up very early."

3. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.

A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."

B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."

I'm searching for sports T-shirts.  Do you have any good ideas?
【小题1】    I think the NIKE T-shirts are better than others.  Last month, I saw a T-slyirt of new style in a shop. It looked very nice.  Its color was blue.  I feel that the NIKE T-shirt is a bit expensive.  It's about 400 Yuan.Even though it's a bit expensive, I advise you to buy it.  It's made of cotton. 【小题2】
If you want to buy some cheaper ones, you can search the Internet Shopping onlihe is becoming more and more popular today.  【小题3】
You should go to the shop and choose clothes by yourself.  【小题4】  So I think you’d better choose clothes according to your own body. If you are thin, Buy one in a warm color.  If not, buy one in a dark color.
I have a good idea.   【小题5】  You can design your favorite pictures on it.  If you are a football fan, perhaps Beckham's photo is a good choice.  Designing your own T-shirt is in fashion this year.  It will show your own art of dressing.
