27、Learning other languages, you discover how to say the same thing in many different ways. In English we say “good night”. In Russia, people say “”. In Vietnamese, people say “chuc ngu ngon”, which means “have a delicious sleep”. When I think about the word delicious, I think of pizza, chocolate and ice—cream. I don’t think about going to sleep. So depending on the language, different phrases will improve your creativity and force you to think about how to say things in a different way.

Studying a new language, you will notice that you have to learn a new sense of humor that comes along with the culture of that language. Sometimes jokes that work in English won’t work in French or Japanese. But sometimes things that nobody would laugh at in English work in Vietnamese. I learned this, when I performed the stand-up comedy in Vietnam. A lot of my non-Vietnamese speaking friends would ask me to translate the jokes for them, but when I translated it back into English, no one laughed.

When you learn a new language, you have to learn a lot of vocabulary, new grammar, idioms and much more besides. Doing this, you have to learn memory skills. These could be flash cards, using recall methods, or building a memory palace. Whatever tactic you use, it will strengthen your creativity.

Next time you meet someone who speaks several languages, before you think that they have something special going on in their brain, take a step back and think. Maybe they do. But maybe they’ve got that special thing because they’ve made the effort to learn several languages. An effort is something we all need.

【1】Why did no one laugh after hearing the translation of the jokes?

A．The audience couldn’t get the humor in English.

B．The author was not a humorous translator.

C．English is less humorous than Vietnamese.

D．The jokes were not funny in Vietnamese.

【2】What does the underlined word “tactic” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Guideline.

B．Information.

C．Strategy.

D．Expression.

【3】In which section of a magazine may the text come from?

A．Nature.

B．Health.

C．Travel.

D．Education.

28、Dear Customers,

I love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long read—as I relax into the chair, I also relax into the author’s words, stories and ideas. The paper book is so elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is the author’s world.

Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable(便携的) reading device(装置) with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines and newspapers.

We’ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design goal was for Mindle to disappear in your hands, so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed—you do your reading directly from the device.

We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install(安装). We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.

Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces—less than paperback—but can carry two hundred books.

Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!

Jeff Bezos, Founder & CEO

29、My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our three children. We had a wonderful time. Besides, I experienced something that left a deep impression on me.

Our children were excited about the attraction where children could drive the cars. They were so delighted that I decided to stand beside the track to get pictures of everyone as they drove past on the track.

As I waited for them to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who was about 7 years old. They rolled down the hill at the beginning, but suddenly the car stopped. The young driver looked nervous, “I can't do it.” His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”

“No. I can't！”

“Yes, you can, son.”

The little guy was almost in tears, “I can't！” With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I'm going to help you.” A moment later, with the father helping his son, the two went smoothly (顺利地) on their way down the track.

The scene brought tears to my eyes and it reminded (使想起) me of my dear father. Just like that little boy's dad, my father used to say the same words to me. Every time things got hard or when I experienced setbacks along the way, he would say, “Michelle, you can do this. I'm going to help you.”

Time and time again the words greatly encouraged me on the journey. I'm aware that I can't do things under my own power, but the words “Yes, you can” come beside me and give me wisdom and strength. As I benefited (受益) a lot from them, I often tell my children never to say “I can't” easily when they meet something difficult.

【1】Why did the author stand beside the track?

A．She didn't dare to drive alone.

B．She wasn't interested in driving cars.

C．She wanted to take photos for her family.

D．She wanted to rest for a few minutes.

【2】How did the author react to the father's helping his son?

A．She was greatly moved.

B．She was impressed by the boy's patience.

C．She decided to learn from the father.

D．She reminded the father not to be too strict.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．The author enjoys traveling very much.

B．The author is patient with her children.

C．The author was greatly encouraged by the boy's father.

D．The author was greatly influenced by the words “Yes, you can”.
