27、How to learn many languages

Speaking a foreign language fluently is very cool. How is it that some people seem to learn a new language easily while other people struggle with their language lessons? If you can speak many languages, you can call yourself a polyglot. A polyglot is a person who can speak several foreign languages. How do they do it? 【1】

Accept the culture

Learning a foreign language is not only about the spoken words. You need to put yourself into the lives of the people and learn about the culture of the language you want to learn. There are some polyglots who even act differently when they speak another language. Some behaviour just goes with the language. 【2】 Can you think of some behaviour that is unique to your language?

【3】

Sometimes, when talking in a new language, you may have to make some sounds or noises that sound strange or funny to you. Remember that their sound is not strange to the people you may be talking to. If you make that sound often, as you use the language, soon it will not be strange to you any more either. 【4】 Ignore them and learn from them.

Make friends

Most polyglots suggest that you make friends who speak the language you want to learn. 【5】 A person normally feels comfortable with friends so you will not be afraid to make mistakes. Your friends can guide, correct and help you.

Now that you know these secrets to learning foreign languages and becoming a polyglot, try to have fun with your English language learning. I wish you all of the best!

A．Encourage yourself

B．Ignore the embarrassment (尷尬)

C．Don't try to become a master of the language in your first month.

D．What are their secrets?

E．Time with them will mean that you have the opportunity to practise and learn new words.

F．Have you ever seen Italians talk without using their hands?

G．Also mistakes are very common as a beginner.

28、In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a lot.”

Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s unique (独特的) isthat we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what’s going to happen in front of you when leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just answer current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give thefastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.

“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.

【1】Professor Cyrus Shahabi is often late for work because of ________.

A. his living far away

B. his car’s navigation system

C. bad traffic conditions

D. too many cars in his university

B. It can make sure that you will never be late for work.

29、Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(缺乏). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs .

Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.

You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks(滴水) in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

【1】Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?

A．Using river water.

B．Throwing batteries away.

C．Throwing rubbish into lakes.

D．Paving parking lots.

【2】What can be inferred from the text?

A．All water shortages are due to human behavior.

B．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.

C．There is much we can do to reduce family size.

D．The average family in America makes proper use of water.

【3】The last paragraph is intended to _________.

A．show us how to fix leaks at home

B．tell us how to run a dishwasher

C．prove what drinking glass is best for us

D．suggest what we do to save water at home

【4】The text is mainly about _________.

A．how human activity affects our water supply

B．how much we depend on water to live

C．why droughts occur more in dry climates

D．why paving roads reduces our water

When I was a freshman I joined Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education 【1】 (社团) at my college. Trying to help injured or sick creatures can be heartbreaking, for 【2】 (存活) is never certain. However, when it works, it surely b【3】 the creatures and us.

I got a rescue call from a woman in Mutton town. She had found a young owl on the ground by a【4】. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to-3-week-old owl. I soon examined the chick and it seemed fine with only 【5】 (不严重的) injury on its wing. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. A basket was found. I put some pine branches m【6】 with grass into the basket to make this nest comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.

Now what the chick needed was 【7】 (情感的) company. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. It was i【8】 to attract the chick’s parents and encourage our chick to start calling as well.

Much to my r【9】, the homeowner called next day, saying that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and what i【10】 me most was an active chick accompanied by its lunch in the nest. The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
