Some suggestions about learning English!We may all have heard about the old saying that interest leads one towards success. According to this saying, we’d better develop our interest in English at the very beginning of our study. To develop interest in your English study is not very hard. We may have the feeling of satisfaction and achievement from our English study when we find that we are able to say something not very complicated in English, or talk with foreigners in English. We will be amazed that the foreigners can understand our English and say “you speak good English” ...Plans are always very essential, so we must make some elaborate and workable(feasible) plans before we study. For example, you can plan to learn 20 new words every day. Once the plans are made, we should carry out these plans to the letter. Remember: Plans are essential, but those unattainable plans will make you feel frustrated!Taking notes is one important technique in studying. Good memory can not replace the function of notes. Notes should be taken whenever we study. As we know, notes are the summarization, the core content, or our understanding of the books that we read. It would be easier for us to remember the content by referring to our notes, which may be thinner than our books. Sometimes it would be useful to draw some tables, diagrams or illustrations that are very impressive, visual and concise. All these can help us in memorizing the content that we learn. Watching English movies, English TV programs, listening to English songs and learn English on some special occasions are also excellent ways in learning English, as we may relate English to certain scenes so as to deepen our memory. Once again for the learning of vocabulary: never just memorize single English words. If you only remember certain words, you still don’t quite understand their proper usage. Therefore, it is imperative that you learn by heart the whole sentences and the phrases that contain the new words so that we can know how to use the words in a proper way.
66. At the beginning of English study, we should______.
A. learn English grammar
B. develop our good habit of learning
C. develop our interest in learning English
D. remember many English words
67. The underlined phrase “to the letter” in the second paragraph might mean ______.
A. strictly B. loosely
C. partly D. narrowly
68. Which statement of the following on notes is true according to the passage?
A. Good memory can take the place of thefunction of notes.
B. Notes may be thicker than the book weread.
C. Taking notes is a waste of time instudying.
D. Notes can help us in memorizing thecontent that we learn.
69. Which is the best way in learning English words?
A. Remember the single English words.
B. Understand the meaning of the wholesentences and phrases in which thereare new words and recite them.
C. Memorize the new words’ meaning inthe dictionary.
D. Write the new words three times.

Mom was a teacher most of her life. When she wasn’t in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren: correcting our grammer; starting us on collections of butterflies, flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent “Book of the Mother Club” topic. Mom made learning fun.
It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her suffering in her later years. At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke(中风) and she went continuously downhill after that.Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for all the family members to lift her weak body back into bed, Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a weak sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side.“Whirr,” she said weakly.“Where?” I asked. “Mom, is there something you want?” “Whirr,” she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she said, “Not was, say were!”It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. “If it was up to me ...”Jim leaned down and kissed her check. “Thanks, Mom,” he whispered. We smiled at each other and once again shook our hands…this time in awe(敬畏) of a remarkable teacher.
70. Whem Mom said “Whirr”, what did she really want to do?
A. She wanted to tell her sons her will.
B. She wanted to have something to eatbefore she died.
C. She wanted to correct the mistakes Jimmade while talking.

If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but ...”, what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the child who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior.Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.These false apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not turn to these false apologies.But even when presented with examples of true regret, children still need help to become aware of how difficult it is to say sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that taking away the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parents’ clothes without permission is not.
74. If a mother adds “but” to an apology, ______.
A. the child may find the apology easier to accept
B. the child may feel that he shouldapologize to his mother
C. she does not realize that the child hasbeen hurt
D. she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized
75. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset.” most probably means “______”.
A. You have good reason to get upset
B. I apologize for hurting your feelings
C. I’m wrong for making you upset
D. I know you’re upset, but I’m not toblame
76. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry ______.
A. their ages should be taken intoconsideration
B. parents should be patient
C. parents need to set them a goodexample
D. the difficulties involved should be taken no notice of
77. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is ______.
A. not necessary among family members
B. a sign of social progress
C. not as simple as it seems
D. a matter calling for immediate attention
D

Exchange of Letter
Dear Mr. Harrington,I saw your name on a list of teachers of French who wish to spend their holidays in France this summer. I am a teacher of English in Saint Simon, a charming village in the Lorie valley, just south of Saumur. I should very much like to spend some time in England, because it is many years since I had an opportunity to practise my English. Perhaps we could exchange houses for three weeks in late July or early August.I have heard a lot about Cumbria and the Lake District. I have been keen to spend a holiday in Cumbria ever since I first saw pictures of the fox-hunting, and read about the fine hunting dogs that you have in your part of the country. I am very interested in fox-hunting and I take my dogs out hunting in the local forest whenever I can.I shall tell you about Saint-Simon and the surrounding countryside when and if you express interest in my plan. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Jean-Baptiste Foucault
Dear Mr. Foucault,I was very interested to receive your letter of 3rd March. You are right in thinking that I should like to spend some time in France. I am sure my French is as rusty as your English!You are also right in thinking that Cumbria is famous for its foxes and its hunting dogs, but there are many other things for which Cumbria is famous. Barrow, for example, is famous for its shipbuilding industry, I live just across the road from the docks where ships from Ireland and elsewhere load and unload. In fact, on days when the Irish Sea is not under a blanket of fog, I can see the hills of Northern Ireland in one direction, as clearly as I can see the Cumbrian hills in the other.In short, I am afraid Barrow might now have been what you had in mind when you thought about a holiday in Cumbria. Instead of being able to offer you the dog and the fox, I can only offer you the fog and the docks!
82. Mr. Foucault wished to spend a holiday in Cumbria because_______.
A. he is a keen fox-hunting man
B. there are many forests where he cantake his dog hunting
C. he has heard a lot about the goodEnglish spoken in Cumbria
D. the first pictures he saw of Englandwere of Cumbria and the lake District
83. Mr. Foucault does not say much about Saint-Simon because _______.
A. Mr. Harrington has been there and seenit for himself
B. it is such a small village that there isvery little to say about it
C. he wants to know first whether Mr.Harrington is interested in his plan
D. he knows Mr. Harrington will not bevery interested in Saint-Simon
84. Mr. Harrington agrees with Mr. Foucault that _______.
A. Cumbrian dogs are very much like foxes
B. Cumbria has a reputation as afox-hunting
C. Cumbria is only famous for itsfox-hunting
D. Cumbria is more famous forship-building than fox-hunting
85. Mr. Harrington thinks_______.
A. Mr. Foucault will want to change his mind about exchanging
B. Barrow will be just what Mr. Foucaulthad in mind for his holiday
C. Fog and docks have as much to offerthe holiday-makers as dogs and foxes
D. Mr. Foucault will enjoy his holiday inbarrow because of the fog and docks

If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but ...”, what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the child who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior.Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.These false apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not turn to these false apologies.But even when presented with examples of true regret, children still need help to become aware of how difficult it is to say sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that taking away the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parents’ clothes without permission is not.

Exchange of Letter
Dear Mr. Harrington,I saw your name on a list of teachers of French who wish to spend their holidays in France this summer. I am a teacher of English in Saint Simon, a charming village in the Lorie valley, just south of Saumur. I should very much like to spend some time in England, because it is many years since I had an opportunity to practise my English. Perhaps we could exchange houses for three weeks in late July or early August.I have heard a lot about Cumbria and the Lake District. I have been keen to spend a holiday in Cumbria ever since I first saw pictures of the fox-hunting, and read about the fine hunting dogs that you have in your part of the country. I am very interested in fox-hunting and I take my dogs out hunting in the local forest whenever I can.I shall tell you about Saint-Simon and the surrounding countryside when and if you express interest in my plan. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Jean-Baptiste Foucault
Dear Mr. Foucault,I was very interested to receive your letter of 3rd March. You are right in thinking that I should like to spend some time in France. I am sure my French is as rusty as your English!You are also right in thinking that Cumbria is famous for its foxes and its hunting dogs, but there are many other things for which Cumbria is famous. Barrow, for example, is famous for its shipbuilding industry, I live just across the road from the docks where ships from Ireland and elsewhere load and unload. In fact, on days when the Irish Sea is not under a blanket of fog, I can see the hills of Northern Ireland in one direction, as clearly as I can see the Cumbrian hills in the other.In short, I am afraid Barrow might now have been what you had in mind when you thought about a holiday in Cumbria. Instead of being able to offer you the dog and the fox, I can only offer you the fog and the docks!
