24、I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I learned English first, it was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, and the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever (不论何时) I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!

Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well. And I also write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

25、Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a child? Your teacher at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.

There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.

Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of “ mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?

Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? I would have thought the other way around(相反) although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India ( where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan( the same situation with India) ...

If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonalds burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), it will kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.

When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose,” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?”

Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.

【1】By saying “ Ask the people of India... and Pakistan” ( in Paragraph 4) , the author is trying to show that_______.

A．speaking the same language doesn’t necessarily bring peace

B．wars can destroy the relationship between two countries

C．English doesn’t kill other languages

D．English is widely used in the world

【2】What does “garden” in the last two paragraphs stand for(代表)?

A．Language. B．Family.

C．The world.   D．The universe.

【3】The author would probably agree that_________.

A．it’s very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden 

B．it’s good for people from other countries to learn English

C．more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens

D．English is easier to learn than other languages

【4】This passage is mainly about________.

A．why English has become a global language

B．how many people in the world speak English

C．how people in the world learn English as a foreign language

D．whether we need to worry about English being a world language

26、B

Perhaps the most famous clothing brand name(服装品牌名称)in the world is Levi’s．Levi Strauss & Co．is the producer of blue denim jeans．Here’s how it happened．

In the mid 1800s many people went to California to look for gold．A young German named Levi Strauss traveled to San Francisco to help his brother on business．He sold canvas(帆布)to the workers for tents．But the workers said they needed pants more，because their pants were easy to wear out．Instead of selling his canvas for tent-making，he turned it into pants．These kinds of pants were very popular with workers．He was very happy and named the kind of pants“denims”．And in 1853 he founded Levi Strauss ＆ Co．

Twenty years later the company began using a design with pockets．During the working，Strauss developed the process for putting metal rivets(铆钉)in the eans for strength．

On May 20，1873，they received the U．S．Patent No.139，121 for the process and that date is now considered the official birthday of“blue jeans”．

27、   Fun and practical, these apps are worth downloading

*Forest

When working on your homework, you might sometimes find that your smart phone is distracting （使分心） you. An app called Forest can help you stay focused. When you set a new task in the app and set a certain amount of time to finish it, a tree seed will be “planted” in the app. If you keep finishing your task, the seed will grow into a tree. But if you close the app and play with your phone instead, the tree will wither and even die. Once you finish the task, your tree will be “planted” in the app. Gradually, you will have a forest! You can share your achievements with your friends and try to “plant” different kinds of trees.

*Rocket Alarm Clock

It’s hard to get out of bed every morning. You might hit the “snooze” button（“打盹”按钮） on your alarm clock again and again just to get a little more sleep. However, the Rocket Alarm Clock app can help!

The app’s alarm cannot be easily turned off. You have to shake your phone wildly, solve difficult math problems, or even blow into your phone’s microphone to turn it off. For example, in one of the app’s modes, there are some unidentified flying objects( UFOs) that are attacking（攻击） the earth. You have to blow hard on your microphone to get rid of（摆脱） the UFOs and turn off the alarm.

28、   "Long time no see" is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from a US friend's e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a classic 【1】(例子) of Chinglish.

Obviously, it is a word-to-word 【2】(翻译) of the Chinese greetings with a bad English structure and grammar! Later on, my friend told me that it is a 【3】(常见的) greeting in the US. I could 【4】(几乎不) believe her. Her words were not believable enough. So I did a【5】 (搜索) on google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web 【6】(页) containing "Long time no see". This sentence has been 【7】(广泛地) used in e-mails, letters, newspapers, movies, books or any other possible place. Though it is not 【8】(正式) enough, it is part of the language 【9】(美国人) use daily. However, if you type this sentence in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to 【10】 (改正).

Nobody knows how this Chinglish sentence 【11】 (开始). Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers 【12】(成功地)created a world wide famous Chinese detective 【13】(名为) "Charlie Chan" on screens. Detective Chan liked to teach people some Chinese 【14】(智慧) by using what Confucius said. "Long time no see" was his trademark. Shortly after, "Long time no see" became a 【15】(流行的) expression in the real world.
