Swimming and English Learning Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice. Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make. Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important. Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success. Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way. 1.You can learn to swim by_______. A. reading books about it B. looking at others swimming C. having lessons on it D. going into the river and learning 2.We should learn English by _______. A. listening and speaking B. reading and writing C. A and B D. swimming 3.What will you do with mistakes when you speak? A. Don’t make mistakes. B. Study hard C. Try not to speak English D. Don’t be afraid. 4.What’s more important for senior school students? A. listening B. speaking C. reading and writing D. learning 5.We can listen to English ______, according to the passage. A. by train B. on the radio C. every minute D. now and then

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you. Well, ni-hao. (Laughter) It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world. That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments(国会) and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between countries aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders — they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational chance for students, but also as an active part of America’s foreign policy(政策). Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the world. And we can text, email, skype with people in the world. So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times. Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important. It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders — experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own. Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” 1. Where did the speaker probably give the talk to the audience? A. In a university. B. In the Parliament Hall. C. On the Internet. D. In a tourist attraction. 2. The passage shows that the world’s future depends on . A. getting good grades B. traveling abroad C. connections among young people D. texts and emails 3.What is the meaning of the underlined word “compete” in Paragraph 3? A. 完成 B. 比较 C. 竞争 D. 抱怨 4. In the speaker’s opinion, what is the key to success in our times? A. Going to a university. B. Doing more exercises. C. Studying abroad. D. Getting good test scores. 5.Where may the passage come from? A. A story. B. A news report. C. A scientific magazine. D. A speech.
