To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write.Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian.But when they went to England in 1980, English people couldn’t understand what was said to them.These days more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study.So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening.If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly.The sounds of the Chinese and English language are not exactly the same.If you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas.People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing.The important thing is to make your idea in your head and then to write it in clear lively language
Chinese students read far too slowly.If you read fast, you understand better.If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about.When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary.Guess the meaning from the context.You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer.If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book.
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they’re studying.They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation.In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.
【小题1】How many points are there in the passage?
| A.Two | B.Three | C.Four | D.Five |
| A.how to speak English |
| B.how to read and write |
| C.why spoken English is important |
| D.why English people couldn’t understand Lenin |
| A.to kill two birds with one stone |
| B.to learn two languages at a time |
| C.to study all the subjects in a foreign language |
| D.to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying. |
| A.to get some particular knowledge |
| B.to get more than what one pays |

Among the Boys is a unique after-school program for boys living in the Highland Park neighborhood of our city. The organizational task is to provide males living in low-income and public housing with opportunities to discover their ability to change challenges into possibilities. The program includes an academic part as well as specific plans for supporting the overall development of the participants. Among the Boys uses painting as an instrument for helping boys examine their world, discuss it, and develop positive ways of handling the challenges they face daily. Young men present personal challenges to the group, such as a recent fight or the long-term drug abuse they observe in their neighborhood. After guided discussion, the youth work as a team, determining how to best represent the issue at hand in a painting. The resulting paintings and explanations of these paintings provided by the young people suggest that something profound(深远的) occurs through this process. These young men are learning a healthy way to express and cope with the pain and suffering they feel. Art serves as a healing process and a structured method of teaching teamwork, nonviolent values, conflict handling and problem-solving skills.
Activities in Among the Boys are in agreement with the best practices in the prevention of high-risk behavior. First, community-based youth development programs are considered important parts of a comprehensive prevention method, particularly in high-risk neighborhoods. Second, compensatory(补偿) education that targets at risk youth for academic failure is also considered an effective prevention method. Third, interventions(介入) aimed at improving youth’s moral reasoning, social problem-solving, and thinking skills are reported to be effective methods for reducing violence in high-risk populations, especially when carried out with elementary school-aged boys. Finally, Among the Boys has an adapted tutoring part, considered an effective prevention tool. Tutoring is typically a one-to-one match between a tutor and a youth, but Among the Boys employs what is referred to as “group tutoring.” Among the Boys makes up for its high student-tutor ratio(比例) with quality and quantity of time, as the program meets after school, on Saturdays, and all day during the summer, and is staffed primarily by males, an unusual quality among educational programs.
Among the Boys is rare and successful form of grassroots program, and represents the dream of a successful male who grew up in the Highland Park neighborhood and has returned to make a valuable contribution to his community.
