English is very important in the modern world. Many people want to learn it well. Here are some things that I want to say about learning it.
To learn English well, you need two things---passion and good learning methods(方法). Passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to do it better and faster.
If you love learning English, you will do it regularly(有规律地) and spend more time on it. It will also be easy for you to remember new words and grammar rules. __________ For example, some people like history and know a lot about World WarⅡ. If you ask a person who doesn’t like history to memorize all the facts, he probably can’t do it.
When you want to learn English, you can do the following things:
First, imagine(想象) that you can talk to native(本土的) speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager(经理) in a foreign company(公司). Imagine you are living in an English-speaking country.
Second, use English as much as possible. This is very important. The more you use English, the better you will learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, sing English songs, and read interesting books written in English as well. The underlined word “passion” means “_______” in Chinese.
| A．热情 | B．态度 | C．步骤 | D．情感 |
The missing(空白的) part in the third paragraph can be __________.
| A．You can’t memorize everywhere in learning English |

Have you thought of such questions as “Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an engineer.Should I give history up?”
Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it’s necessary for you to understand such things. Please remember that at school, besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things.
First, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find which you like and which you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future. Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems. At school, you should practice your brain by thinking. Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn English at school, but you don’t need to speak English in your daily life at all. You should think learning English can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a job there. Then you can tell yourself, “I can do my job well. At school I learned English well, and now I must be able to learn French well, too.” But if you have no confidence, what will happen?
Try to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because we want to get the highest marks, though it is hard for us to get it. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greatest progress.At school you should _________.
| A．study math harder than any other subject |
| B．stop learning the subjects you don’t like |
| C．not only get knowledge but also improve your ability |
| D．pay mor e attention to math |
You should not drop math because it can help improve your ________.
| A．ability of learning languages |
| B．ability of finding a job |
| C．interest in other subjects |
| D．ability of logical thinking |
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．You’ll use everything you learn at school in the future |
| B．It’s not necessary to know what you like at school. |
| C．Everything you learn at school has some influence on you |
| D．Logical thinking ability is the most important ability |

I’m Bessy. I began to learn English in Grade 6,not like most of my friends who have been learning English since kindergarten(幼儿园 ) or at least in Grade 3.I fell in love with this foreigner language at once. As an old saying goes, “Interest is the best teacher.” I began to be crazy about English. I learned words and grammar, made sentences, wrote essays and read English storybo oks as many as I could.
Some of my friends find it easy to forget the words they learned the other day. So do I! You can’t remember words well without using them often. So you should turn to a dictionary for help when you meet new words and want to know their other meanings and usages. Then make your own sentences from time to time.Another way to keep new words in mind is reading articles. You can easily remember new words through context.
As for spoken English, I’m lucky to have some foreign friends. So I have more chances to improve my spoken English. If you want to communicate with foreigners, don’t be shy, and just practice with anyone who knows English.When did Bessy fall in love with English?
| A．In kindergarten | B．In high school |
| C．In Grade 3 | D．In Grade 6 |
Which way of memorizing English words is NOT mentioned?
