Once when I was a teenager， my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally， there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.
There were eight children， all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive， but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns （小丑）. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed as happy as they could be.
The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted， he proudly answered， “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets， so I can take my family to the circus.”

When you are learning English， you find it not clever to put an English sentence， word for word， into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do？”for example， if you look up each word in the dictionary， once at a time， what is your translation？ It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages don’t just have different sounds， they are different in many ways. It’s important to learn the rules for word order in the study of English， too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order， the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed， the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed， the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English， you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers do.

A. we must make sentences word by word
B. we need to put every word into our own language
C. we shouldn’t put every word into our own language

C. It is hard to learn the rules for word order well.
D. It is important to learn the rules for word order.
38. What can we learn from the passage？
A. The meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words.
B. The order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence.
C. If the order of words is different， the meaning of the sentence must be different.
D. Sometimes different order of words has a different meaning.
39. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean？ A. Only she likes apples.
