    What’s language for？Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules（规则） and learning lists of words --the longer the lists, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地). They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native（本土的） speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Saw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. So Chinese students should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication(交际)first.
    小题1: Language is used to __________ .
    A．express oneself
    B．practise grammar rules.
    C．talk with foreigners only
    D．learn lists of words
    小题2: If too many native speakers break a rule,________ .
    A．what they use will become right.
    B．they are against the law
    C．they should say sorry to others.
    D．they will become heroes
    小题3: When we speak a foreign language, we should________ .
    A．speak in Chinese way
    B．speak by the rules
    C．speak to native speakers
    D．not be afraid of making mistakes
    小题4:What should Chinese students put first?
    A．LanguageB．CommunicationC．RulesD．Grammar

    小题1:A
    小题2:A
    小题3:D
    小题4:B

    试题分析：本文讲述了语言是干什么的，应该怎样学习外语以及本民族的人学习本族语时是怎样的。
    小题1:根据Language is for the exchange of ideas and information.可知，语言是用来表述思想和信息的，也就是表达自己的观点的。所以本题选A。
    小题2:根据What used to be wrong becomes right可知，如果本族人说语言时犯的错误较多，慢慢的就会成正确的了。所以本题选A。
    小题3:根据One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language可知，当说外语时不应该害怕犯错，所以本题选D。
    小题4:根据最后一句They should put communication(交际)first.可知，本题应该选B。
    点评：由于本文是有关学外语的，故阅读时可以结合我们平时学习英语的感受进行理解。做题时，应该根据题干内容在文中找出相同或相近的内容，有时可以根据内容加以推测。这些题目往往是孤立的，所以一定应该注意每句话的内容。

    Vision-phones(可视电话)
    Radio，telephone and television are widely used in the world. When you switch on the radio, you can listen．But when you use a telephone，not only can you listen to others but also you can chat with them，however, you can’t see anything at all.

    Today, some people are using a type of telephone called vision-phone. With it two people who are talking can see each other．
    Vision-phones can be of great use when you have something to show the person whom you are calling，It may also have other uses in the future．Some day you may be able to call up a library and ask to read a book right over your vision-phone. You may be able to do some shopping through it, too. Perhaps in the near future, vision-phones will come into wide use in our everyday life.
    小题1:According to the passage, we can guess that the_______ was invented last.

    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 as 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.
    小题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
    小题2:We should learn English by _______.
    A．listening and speakingB．reading and writing
    C．both A and BD．swimming
    小题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.
    小题4:What’s more important for senior school students?
    A．listeningB．speaking
    C．reading and writingD．learning
    小题5:We can listen to English ______, according to the passage.
    A．by trainB．on the radio
    C．every minuteD．now and then

    Mrs Elise was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my tuna fish (金枪鱼) sandwich and suddenly Mrs Elise asked me if she could buy my sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot hunch from the cafeteria (食堂).
    I was excited. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and took the bag back home to use it again the next day. So you could understand my happiness when I had the chance to buy a hot lunch.
    When we finished lunch that day, Mrs Elise took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwich. I really didn’t care why, but it gave me a few minutes of her special attention, so I was quiet as she explained. She told me that she was a Catholic(天主教徒) and Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays, they ate fish on Fridays.
    Oh, I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my mother that from then on I wanted a tuna fish sandwich on Fridays. After my mother understood why, she gladly made tuna fish sandwiches for me on Fridays. She even made it with brown bread because she knew Mrs Elise liked brown bread. From then on, every Friday I could get in line with other kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food. It tasted divine to me!
    I realize now that Mrs Elise could have made herself tuna fish sandwiches on Fridays. But she bought mine because she saw a little girl who was excited at the simple act of having a hot lunch.
    I will never forget Mrs Elise for her pity for me and generosity (慷慨) and what I should do is to follow her example.

    A．Mrs Elise was the best friend of the writer
    B．the writer came from a poor family

    D．she wanted to show care to the writer
    小题3: The underlined word“divine”means“_____”.
