26、What is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practising grammar rules and learning long lists of words. That's wrong! Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it's no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, but also they make languages. But they can only make their own language. They can't create another language. So Chinese students should pay attention to the grammar, but they shouldn't overdo it. They should put communication first.
【1】What is language for?
A.For practising grammar rules.
B.For learning lists of words.
C.For the exchange of ideas and information.
D.All above.
【2】Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.
A.never makes mistakes
B.hardly makes mistakes
C.can't avoid making mistakes
D.always makes mistakes
【3】“Foreigners often speak English too correctly. ” This sentence means that ________.
A.foreigners speak correct English
B.foreigners speak incorrect English
C.foreigners speak English just following the grammar rules
D.foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
【4】If too many native speakers break a rule, ________.
A.what they use will become right
B.they are against the law
C.they should say sorry to others
D.they will become heroes
【5】What is best title for the passage?
A.Making languages
B.Grammar and Vocabulary
C.Communication first
D.Native speakers' mistakes
27、Hongcun, with a history of about 900 years, is an extremely beautiful village in Anhui Province. Located under Mount Huang, the village has kept the major Chinese styles from ancient times. It’s also one of UNESCO(联合国教科文组织)World Heritage Sites(世界文化遗产).
Wander along the old stone streets and lanes, and you will feel like travelling back in time. All the houses with grey roofs and white walls were built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the front gate of each household is dotted with red Chinese knots and lanterns. All of them are outlined against the blue sky and reflected into the clear rivers, lakes and ponds, surrounded by dark green mountains. It’s a living water-ink picture.
Step into a tea house to take a rest. A piece of classical music, played by guqin, fills up the house and floats into your hearts, as if you hear birds singing, pines(松)whistling and rivers flowing. You will be lost in a world, full of peace and pleasure. Holding the tea cup, some lines of poems on its out layer(层)will come into your sight:
No dust is rising on the road wet with morning rain,
The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.
Walk out of the tea house, and go to the open-air theatre. The actors with coloured make-ups(脸绘)are performing on the stage in special clothes. It’s a local opera called Huangmei Opera and different from others, such as Kun Opera, Beijing Opera and Yue Opera. Also, you can enjoy a feast of varieties of quyi: crosstalk, kouji and pingshu.

Samika, Bangladesh

29、People often ask me how I became successful in that six-year period of time while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do.
I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking. They found that easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes. They said it probably really wouldn’t matter. Six years later, I’m a millionaire and they are all still blaming the economy, the government and company policies. They neglected(忽视) to do the basic, easy things.
In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing can be summed up in a single word: neglect. It is not the lack of money – banks are full of money. It is not the lack of opportunity – the government continues to offer the most opportunities. It is not the lack of books – libraries are full of books – and they are free! It is not the schools – the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of good advisors. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is neglect.
Don’t do the things which cause us to feel guilty(感到内疚的) and guilt erodes our self-confidence. As our self-confidence reduces, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity goes down, so do our results. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins changing from positive to negative, our self-confidence becomes even less … and on and on it goes.
So my suggestion is that when giving choice of “easy to” and “easy not to”, do not neglect to do the simple, basic, “easy” but potentially life-changing activities.
【1】Why did the author become a millionaire in six years?
A.He was a very lucky man.
B.He didn’t come across difficulties.
C.He did some basic and easy things.
D.He set himself long-term life goals.
【2】The underlined word “erodes” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.
A.changes B. neglects
C.weakens D.exposes
【3】What is the main reason that some people fail to succeed?
A.They don’t have good opportunities.
B.They neglect the importance of success.
C.They lack the government’s support.
D. They don’t make use of what they have.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Being self-confident works
B.Nothing can not be neglected
C.Everything is easy to do
D.Success is easy, but so is neglect
