Last term, I hosted an exchange student calling Jacob from the Great Britain to our school. He really cares for Chinese Culture. Jacob asked me to show himself around the city on weekends. I took him to many local place of interest and we also go to the theater to watch a show of Peking Opera. He was so attracted by the performance as he decided to learn it. My father happened to know a master of Peking Opera and introduced Jacob to him. Jacob was great honored to be one of his students. Put his heart into it, Jacob made a rapid progress. When he returned England, he gave a performance, for what he won much admiration from his classmates.

I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in.I like to read blogs(博客)in other languages.1. .For the most part，bloggers tend to write the same way they speak，so I don’t have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool，especially if you can find subtitles in the language you’re learning.2.，they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language.Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language.Personally，I'm so bad at understanding lyrics(歌词)even in English，so this one doesn’t really work for me，but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics.Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.A lot of language learning computer programs include games.I'm super competitive and if I play any of them，I can be hooked for hours.3. .
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade，it can be hard to stick with it.The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood.I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.4. .Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam.Each time I start getting self-satisfied，it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons，or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
5. .The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner’s Russian course at university where my professor never used any English.It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class，which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A.That’s really uncomfortable
B.Whatever languages they’re translated into
C.I also try to think in the language I'm learning
D.It’s time well spent if I'm learning the language
E.Computer games always make me feel worn out
F.Though they don’t always exactly match what’s being said
G.I found them the perfect learning tool because they’re usually written in oral language
Most dog owners are convinced that their four-legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like sit，stay or treat.However，researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning.For example，does the word“fetch”form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog’s mind，or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner’s voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta’s Emory University seems to indicate that“man’s best friend”does indeed know what the owner is saying.
The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials，such as a toy animal and a ball.Once the dogs had mastered the task，they took turns inside a special scanner.The owners then tested their dog’s language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as“bobbu”and“bodmick”while holding up random objects the dogs hadn’t seen before.
The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs’ brains responsible for processing of sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with，compared with the ones they had never heard before.While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word，it did indicate some sort of recognition.The researchers believe this is an important step forward in understanding how dogs process language.
Even more interesting was that the dog’s brains showed a higher level of neural(神经)activity at the sound of unknown words.This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains，which get more active at the sound of familiar words.The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters.“Dogs want to please their owners，and perhaps also receive praise or food，”says Empty neuroscientist Gregory Burns，senior author of the study.
However，though your pet may understand human speech，the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training.“When people want to teach their dog a trick，they often use spoken command because that’s what humans prefer，”Prichard says.“From the dog’s view，however，a visual command might be more effective，helping the dog learn the trick faster.”
1.What’s the purpose of the new study?
A. To convince dog owners to understand their dogs.
B. To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.
C. To prove dogs follow owners’order by listening.
D. To test out how dogs get information from owners.
2.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Inform the result of the research. B. State the process of the research.
C. Stress the importance of the research. D. Introduce the subjects of the research.
3.How do human brains and dog brains react to words ?
A. Human brains become active at unfamiliar words.
B. Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.
C. Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.
D. Dog brains show no response to familiar words.
4.What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?
A. Give dogs oral command. B. Teach dog new tricks.
C. Involve sight and smell. D. Encourage faster learning.
