There are 10 provinces in the country, but only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.Canada left the British Empire (帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants,it5s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland (中心地带）of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law，have labels (标签）and instructions in both languages.In Canada’s English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼儿园）or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. However, if he starts at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.(1) Which country controlled Canada before its independence?A. France.B. Britain.C. America.D.

2.When it comes to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no do ctor has ever heard “Will my baby be able to learn my language?” To be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is “No”.New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who would have been able to understand a sentence like this: “Click here to download your digital book”? Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.Sometimes，you have the word on the tip of your tongue... and it sticks there! But you do know this phenomenon (现象）and think that it isn’t because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You can’t avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics (记忆术).The first words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then you discover quickly, though too late，that some words later are more difficult to learn.(1) From the first paragraph, we can infer that ________.A. there is no need to know all the words of a foreign languageB. it is honest to answer “no” to a question you don’t knowC. a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongueD. people find it hard to memorize the vocabulary of their language(2) The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. you can remember the wordB. you just fail to remember the wordC. you are not sure of the wordD. you daren’t open your mouth to speak the word(3) To learn a foreign language» the author advises you ________.A. to remember new words appearing every dayB. to keep up with new ways of using old wordsC. to learn about 2,000 necessary wordsD. to pay more attention to your bad memory(4) The passage is mainly about ________.A. using old words in a new wayB. learning new words from the contextC. finding a method to memorize the vocabularyD. learning the vocabulary of a foreign language答案：(1)-(4) ABCD解析：(1) 推理判断题。

This list of activities might help to improve your study habits.Make a List. We often have trouble paying attention to one thing because our brain wants to think about something else. 1．You don’t worry about whatever else you should be doing.Sleep More. Studies show that people who sleep fewer than eight hours a night for a period of time have slower response systems and more difficulty recalling information. 2．Eat Healthier Foods. Many people enjoy foods high in fats and sugars. 3．They might give you a temporary burst of energy. However, that energy is soon followed by a crash.Reduce Screen Time. This may be the most unpopular suggestion among young people. Screen time --- or time spent looking at cell phones, televisions, computer screens, has a clear effect on the attention span. 4．5．Concentration improves for students who participate in team sports. It could be that being active is helpful in this way. Participating in a sport trains your brain to concentrate on specific tasks, and shut out other thoughts.A．Be active.B．Practice more.C．These foods can provide enough energy for focusing.D．But these foods can’t be helpful enough when it comes to focusing.E.That is bad news for teens who stay up studying the night before a test.F.Researchers advise parents to limit it when their children need to be focused.G.By writing down all the things you need to do, you’ll gain a sense of c ontrol.If anything can be said about recordbreaking globetrotter (环球旅行家) Graham Hughes, it's that—throughout his travels—he's always kept his feet firmly on the ground.The 33-year-old adventurer, from Liverpool, has become the first person to visit all 201 countries in the world without using a plane.Hughes used buses, taxis, trains and his own two feet to travel 160,000 miles in exactly 1,426 days — all on a shoestring(资金微薄) of just $100 a week.He spent four days “crossing open ocean in a leaky (漏的) boat” to reach Cape Verde on the North Atlantic, was jailed for a week in the Congo for being mistaken as a “spy”， and was arrested trying to “sneak (溜；偷偷地做) i nto” Russia.And yesterday Graham Hughes trudged (长途跋涉) into Juba, the capital of South Sudan, to end the epic four-year journey that began in his hometown of Liverpool on New Year's Day 2009.“I love travel, and I guess my reason for doing it was that I wanted to see if this could be done, by one person traveling on a shoestring，” he told the Christian Science Monitor. “I think I also wanted to show that the world is not some big, scary place, but in fact it is full of people who want to help you even if you are a stranger.”Guinness has now confirmed that Hughes, who filmed the expedition for a documentary and raised money for charityWater Aid, has achieved the world record.“Th e main feeling today is just one of intense gratitude to every person around the world who helped me get here, by giving me a lift, letting me stay on their couch, or pointing me in the right direction，” Hughes added.6．Which of the following is NOT described Graham Hughes?A．Globetrotter.B．Adventurer.C．The first person traveling around the world not using a plane.D．Scientist.7．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A．When he traveled on the ocean, his boat was leaking water.B．He was put into prison because of being considered a spy in the Congo.C．He was caught in Russia because he stole something.D．It was in South Sudan that he ended his epic four-year journey.8．Why did Hughes make the world record that he had achieved into the film — the expedition for a documentary?A．Because he wanted to be remembered by people all over the world.B．Because he wanted to raise money for charity Water Aid.C．Because he only wanted to record his experience.D．Because he wanted to earn money.9．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．When he traveled all over the world, he got a lot of help from different people.B．He often sleeps on the coach.C．He often points the direction for others.D．He is grateful to the people who have helped him.The Great War ExhibitionWhen: Sun 10 Jan, 9:00 am- 6:00 pmMon 11 Jan, 9:00 am- 6:00 pmWhere: Dominion Museum Building, 15 Buckle Street, WellingtonRestrictions: All AgesTicket Information: Admission FreeThe journey is rich in personal stories which tell of the great experience of the battlefields and the hardships at home during war-time New Zealand.

If we have seen a black flower, it is a chance in a million. People have made census (统计) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why are black flowers so rare?As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of colored light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣) , are very weak and easy to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So the black flowers can hardly continue their lives. While red flowers, orange flowers and yellow ones can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting（反射）the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so unusual.13．It is a chance in a million” means______.A．something commonB．something luckyC．something extremely rareD．something impossible14．Sunlight is formed by _____.A．many different kinds of colored lightB．three different kinds of colored light—red, orange and yellowC．seven different kinds of colored lightD．four thousand kinds of colored light15．Black flowers are so rare because ______.A．they are so weak tha t it’s difficult for them to grow up B．there are actually no black flowers in the worldC．the petals of black flowers are very delicate（易碎的）D．they can take in the light of all wave length which make the flowers dry up because of high temperature.16．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Red, orange and yellow flowers can absorb the light of all wave lengths.B．People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black.C．Most of the flowers are resistant（有抵抗力的）to high temperature owing to their bright colors.

Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the youngerpeople learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brai n is changed by the experie nce of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two lan guages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language me ans you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.23．The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．that language can help brain powerD．language learning and math study24．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _______.A．a researcher on language learningB．a person who can speak two languagesC．a second language learnerD．an active language learner25．We may know from the scientific findings that ________.A．the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is. B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language.C．the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain.D．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike（双人单车）, now is your chance, because they have those too.A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once.

But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. South Korea was still in second place, though. Britain was at number 6.In Korea the school day is long-typically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All_this_hothousing leaves Korean students so tired, they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming (填鸭式) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm.Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison, around 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of self-study a night.The Korean education system, like many in Asia, is intensely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools, to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cut-throat. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different.However, there are some similarities in Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have high status in society, andeducation is very highly valued. Those attitudes can't change quickly. But it can be done. They might be the star pupils now, but until the 1970s, Finland's educationalsystem was poor. Their thoroughly different approach to schooling has taken them to the top in just a generation.31．The students spend the least time in school in ________.A．the UK B．FinlandC．the USA D．Korea32．The underlined phrase “all this hothousing” in P aragraph 2 probably refers to ________. A．private evening tutoringB．self-study at homeC．long-hour studyD．school study33．From Paragraph 3, we can know that ________.A．Finnish students are less stressed in studyB．there're also many cramming schools in BritainC．students in Korea are the most competitive in AsiaD．British schools are less competitive than universities34．According to the author, the key to improving education is ________.A．the attitudeB．the schooling timeC．star pupilsD．new teaching approachOn February 3,1931 the peace of New Zealand's Hawkes Bay region was destroyed when the area was hit by the worst earthquake in New Zealand's history.At 10:46 am on that summer's day,the quake hit with a magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale（里氏震级）.The centre of the quake lied some 15to 20 kilometers north of the two main centers,Napier and Hastings.The quake lasted for two and a half minutes.Many people died in the earthquake.A fire broke out immediately after the quake.The fire started in a chemist's shop and spread quickly.Then the Fire Department in Napier came to help,but they were at a loss to control the fire as a result of losing their water supply.However,the water supply in Hastings,was still usable,allowing them to fight back against the fire.The force of the earthquake destroyed many of the city's famous landmarks（地标）.Chunks of the coastline were thrown into the sea.Napier's Bluff Hill,a popular tourist spot,was completely destroyed and thrown into the waters below.Most of the major buildings in the city were completely destroyed.Roads and communications across the whole area were cut.People were afraid to enter their homes for days and found shelters at the local Motor Camp or on the beach.There were about 150 aftershocks（余震）in the 24 hours after the main shock.Over the next 2 weeks,there would be 525 such aftershocks.35．The worst earthquake took place in New Zealand_______.A．at night B．in the morningC．at noon D．in the afternoon36．The firefighters in Napier failed to put out the fire probably because_______.A．there was no usable water B．they couldn't get close to itC．the flames spread too quickly D．The wind was very strong37．The last two paragraphs mainly tell us that_______.A．there were many places of interest in New ZealandB．the earthquake damaged the city seriouslyC．many famous landmarks were thrown into the seaD．people were afraid to enter their homes for sleep38．What's the best title for this passage?A．The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquakeB．New Zealand's two citiesC．The great fire after the great earthquakeD．The city's famous landmarksSaturday, March 24thWe have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok(曼谷).

On the 15th June I set foot off the airplane and into Calgary, Canada. I’ve never been to this side of the world before and I had some strange expectations when I could only see fields and no cityscape in view from my plane window during landing. However, as we got closer and closer to the airport the city came into view.Phew! I sighed of relief as I’m a real city-goer. We were greeted by my girlfriend’s parents and whisked away to the main city. The large amount of greenery in Calgary’s city makes it a completely different city to visit and I advise if anybody is around this side of the world, it’s surely an interesting visit. It not only brings us good feelings, it also makes you fall in love with this city. Despite all the things we’ve done here, the thing that blew me away the most was the Canadian woodlands and mountains just a few hours outside of Calgary. The highlight for me was risking travelling to the small town of Fernie and hiking into the woods up to a small waterfall where the water was so clear we could just drink straight from the stream.The time away from the main city had a great holiday feel and gave me time to recover after a busy university year. It’s been a great experience being in the Canadian mountains and woodlands and it taught me the importance of just having some time for yourself!

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sisterˈs friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me all the highlights. He did not let me down.The carnival is most definitely all about the samba. Itˈs a style of music and dance which has its roots in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being colonized (殖民), so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). Itˈs the kind of music that you canˈt help dancing to, and I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, my hips and shoulders were swinging (摇摆) almost involuntarily.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade, the symbol of Brazilian culture, inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship title, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come. So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, Iˈm afraid I canˈt tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.14．What made the author nervous in the beginning?A．Busy schedule.B．The big crowd.C．No local guide.D．Culture shock.15．What can we learn about samba from this passage?A．It has its origin in America.B．It is not the taste of the author.C．It has a long and mixed culture.D．Its music is usually slow and soft.16．The author didnˈt regret missing the parade because ________.A．she met some amazing local peopleB．she didnˈt have the tickets for the paradeC．she celebrated the festival in a local wayD．she enjoyed herself by making her own parties17．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To recommend a helpful guide.B．To tell a painful history of Rio de Janeiro.C．To encourage people to learn samba.D．To share an unforgettable experience.（2023春·山东青岛·高一统考期中）Recently I was watching a talk show hosted by a comedian called Trevor Noah from South Africa. The part which struck me most was his advice about travelling. He said, “The one thing you will never waste your money on is travelling. Travel broadens the mind. It is the antidote to ignorance (无知).” In my opinion this statement should be everyone’s life motto (座右铭).This year I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of travelling around Europe and it has shown me first hand how much you can learn and develop by visiting different places. It is so wonderful to be able to go to a different country, listen to the different languages, try local food and experience the different culture.I’ve personally noticed how different I am since I started exploring more. It involves being able to find good train or plane tickets, getting yourself to the airport, not to mention trying to find your way around a completely new city. While it can be scary at first, after a few trips you realize that Google Maps is your best friend and it really isn’t that difficult to figure out public transport. Travelling also helps you develop your organization skills! It is basic to figure out how to get to different tourist attractions and plan your time wisely. However, it is also nice to learn to relax. On top of that, hotels are a great way to meet new people from all around the world. It is fantastic when young people from different parts of the world come together; I’ve met so many strange and wonderful people this way.As far as I can see, travel as much as possible, because the experiences you will gain from travelling can’t be taught at school and they will change your life.18．What do the underlined words “antidote to” mean in the first paragraph?A．Replacement of.B．Development of.C．Treatment for.D．Agreement to.19．How will the author describe his trip to Europe?A．Busy.B．Hard.C．Rich.D．Costly.20．What has happened to the author since he began traveling?A．He has become more confident and independent.B．He has developed a skill to select tourist attractions.C．He has found it hard to figure out public transport.D．He has made many friends from all over the world.21．Which section is the text most likely to appear in a newspaper?A．News.B．Education.C．Opinions.D．Health.（2023春·安徽合肥·高一校联考期中）Last September an American started a trip through Southwest China on a standard bike she had bought at a local shop.

Unit 2 Travelling Around 拓展阅读专项训练（二）刷阅读理解体裁：记叙文题材：社会热点词数：323 难度：中建议用时：7分钟A while back I caught a news report on something called “couch surfing” and the network who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travellers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one’s home for one or two nights? Give me a break.However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I’ve always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved（寡言的）. Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in lively conversation. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.If this was what couch surfing was all about—trust and friendship—then I had got off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers?I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it’s this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can’t wait to find out.1. Which of the following best explains “intrigued” underlined in the second paragraph?A. Relaxed.B. Disgusted.C. Interested.D. Embarrassed.2. What can we know about Ari?A. He was reserved like most Finns.B. He talked less but he was friendly.C. He treated the author as a friend.D. He saw off the author at the train station.3. Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?A. To take an adventure with strangers.B. To exchange houses for a short time.C. To learn more about others’ family lives.D. To enrich their own lives by helping others.4. What can be the suitable title for the text?A. Travel on Trust and CouchesB. A Free travel in FinlandC. Experiences in Strangers’ HousesD.

Instead, people should consider group tours. Taking a group tour is a wise choice for people to 2 themselves.First, group tours plan travellers’ routes, so people don’t have to 3 where they are going next or how they are getting there. They can just 4 and enjoy their trip. For example, my family once took a group tour to China. The travel agency 5 everything for us. We just looked at the schedule the travel agency had 6 and followed it. Thanks to the travel agency, we had a pleasant trip. This made things 7 for my father since he didn’t have to worry about where we would go next and stay at night.Another 8 of group tours is that they allow people to communicate with one another while travelling. Travellers are able to develop 9 with people they would never have met 10 they are travelling together for a number of days. As I know, my parents 11 Russia on a group tour for their honeymoon.

If my parent had travelled by themselves, it would have been 13 for them to get to know this couple.In short there is 14 better than a group tour when travelling.

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Passage 1Although the US is a large country with many people，the language is almost the same wherever one goes.There are two reasons for this.One is that people move around a great deal in the US.A man may grow up in one part of the country，go to college in another part，find work in another place，and marry a girl from still another part of the country.Railroads，airplanes，cars and highways make it easy to travel in America.The second important reason is public communication.Movies，radio and television all use a standard form of speech，and almost everyone in the US hears it.However，there are some words and expressions more common in one part of the country than in others.People in Boston send their dirty clothes to the“cleanser’s” instead of the “cleaner’s”.In some parts of the west，a soft drink is called “tonic” instead of “soda”.The southern part of the US is probably the region with the most individual speech.Southern pronunciation is different from that in the rest of the country.Southerners talk slowly and often do not pronounce the letter “r” after vowels (元音) and change the /ng/ sound to /n/，so that “running” sounds like “runnin”and“sleeping” like“sleepin”.In the southern mountains，there have not been any new settlers from other countries for two hundred years.The hill people have a way of speaking that is like the English spoken when their forefathers (祖先) left England to settle in the US centuries ago.Many songs they sing today are those sung long ago in England.Title Americans’ 1.Main 2. ◆The language is almost the same wherever one goes.Reasons◆The first one is to 3. a great deal.◆The second one is public 4. .5. ◆There are some different words and expressions in different parts.Southerners ◆They have individual 6. .◆Their 7. is different from others’.◆They are talking 8. with others.Reasons◆No new 9. have been there.◆They still speak the same language 10. by their forefathers.答案：nguage 2.idea 3.travel munication 5.Difference6.speech7.pronunciation8.slowly9.settlers 10.spokenPassage 2Some people seem to pick up new vocabularies，master rules of grammar，and learnto write in the new language more quickly than others.Perhaps if we take a closelook at these successful language learners，we may discover a few of the techniqueswhich make language learning easier for them.First of all，successful language learners are independent learners.They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language.Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain，they try to find the patternsand the rules for themselves.They are good guessers who look for clues and form theirown conclusions.When they guess wrong，they guess again.They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning.Therefore，successful learnersdo not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance.They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when theymake a mistake.They will try anything to communicate.They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they arewilling to make mistakes and try again.When communication is difficult，they canaccept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them tolearn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally，successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.They find it easy to practice using the language at regular intervals because they want to learn with it.Title：How to Be a Successful LearnerTechniques Specific Information1. learning ◆Successful language learners prefer2. their own ways to turningto books or teachers.◆They would find patterns and rules themselves rather than wait to be3. by the teacher.◆They are good at drawing their own 4. from clues.Active learning ◆Successful language learners always look for 5. to use the language.◆ They try to communicate with 6. speaks the language whenever possible.Repeating ◆Successful language learners would like to learn from their mistakes.◆They can even accept the information that is not 7. or complete over difficult communication.◆They attach great 8. to thinking in the language instead of only knowing the meaning of every word.Learning with a purpose ◆Successful language learners have a strong and exact purpose.◆They are always showing a great 9. in communication.◆They try to practice using the language 10. .答案： 1.Independent 2.discovering/finding/seeking 3.explained 4.conclusions 5.chances/opportunities 6.whoever 7.exact/accurate/precise 8.importance/ value/ significance 9.interest 10.regularlyPassage 3As we get older and walk throughout lives we have to deal with change.Changeis something that some people love and others are scared of and try to avoid.However ，if you want your life to move forward and to be happy and successful ，you have to realize that change is necessary.Welcome change with open arms ，telling the world that you are not afraid.Although you will part with your present teachers and classmates ，you will alwaysbe able to remember the things you used to do and the fun you used to have.When youfeel sad ，or when you are alone ，you can close your eyes and imagine that you areback with your friends and teachers.Remember that your memories are your forever.Enjoy the time before you leave your school.If possible ，you could takephotographs of your friends and teachers to help you recall （回忆起） the past.Before you leave ，you could also buy a notebook and ask your friends and teachersto write notes in it for you.They can write about the things they like about you ，the things that they will remember about you ，or they could just write their wishesfor your success in the future.Perhaps you could buy a good hardback （精装本） book and combine the photographsand the notes together.You could also include your thoughts at the time of leavingthe school.You could write lists of your favorite teachers ，classes and sportsactivities.This is something you can treasure for the rest of your life.
