Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good for the team.
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five-member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替补). , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a and the top eight scorers(得分者) would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a way to decide.
Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up(阵容). Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a few hours, all the on the team were chosen except one. Carla and I tied(打成平手) for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead(领先). I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla , just by a little bit. She felt sorry for my not being on the team as she she would be on the show. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the fun of the show up close.
Was I cheating(欺骗) by not trying as hard as I could? I don’t think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn’t it. It won’t hurt the team Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

Some students like to translate(翻译) when they practice speaking English. Translation is a very difficult exercise. During a conversation, we don’t really have time to translate what we understand. When we use translation, we don’t develop the necessary reflexes (反应能力) needed to speak and understand a foreign language. It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It will help you later when your skills are good enough to take a conversation.
Here is some advice on how to build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar.
Relax!
No one is checking you except yourself! Look at each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax first when you speak English. You will pick up on small details.
Context(上下文) is your friend.
What is context？ It means the situation in which something happens and that helps to understand it. (2)We can make good guesses about what is being said by using the context. It will be easy when you think about the context. You will feel much more comfortable and confident if you remember that.
Ask questions what you want to know.
After you have proudly asked for tickets at the train station, the booking-office clerk (售票员) spoke a long sentence to you about the place and the time. You may be a little unclear or have only understood a part of it. However, you can ask questions about what you want to know, such as, “Did you say…?” and “Would you repeat that more slowly?”. So that you can easily move the communication forward.
Use body language.
Use body language to go with your words when you __(1)___ to learn a __(1)_____ language. The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you and will be carefully listening to you. As you become more proficient (熟练的) in your second language, you will depend(依靠) more on the language and less on body language. But there is no shame for a beginner.
1. 在(1)处的空白处分别填入一个适当的词使句意完整、上下文通顺。
________ __________
2. 将(2)句译成中文。
_______________________________________________________________________________
3.回答问题： What does the writer want us to do first when we speak English?
_______________________________________________________________________________
4. 在文中找出与 Maybe you didn’t hear clearly or understand all of it.意思相同或相近的句子，并将它写在答题卡上。
_______________________________________________________________________________
5. 在文中找出最能表达该短文主题的句子，并将它写在答题纸上。
