Open.Section B Quotes▇ Study the following quotes about language learning. Do you accept the ideas expressed in the quotes? State your reasons. ▇Goethe⊙Whoever is not acquainted with foreign languages knows nothing of his own.— GoetheInterpretation:Learning a foreign language is comparable to a journey of discovery. One needs to be familiar with some foreign languages in order to understand his or her own native language.About Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832): a German poet and scientist, and one of the best known writers of plays and books of all time, known especially for his play Faust (《浮士德》).Walt Whitman1⊙Language is not an abstract (抽象的) construction of the learned (有学问的人), or of dictionary-makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, tastes of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground.— Walt WhitmanInterpretation:Language is not something produced from nowhere by the intellectuals or dictionary-makers. Rather, it is something coming from the commonplace activities and emotions of many generations of human beings, including their work, needs, relationships, happiness, love and preferences. Language is broadly and deeply rooted in these common happenings.About Walt Whitman (1819-1892): a US writer known for his poetry about the beauty of nature and the value of freedom. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential US poets, and his best-known work is Leaves of Grass.David Beckham⊙I haven’t conquered Spanish yet. I’m learning and understand what’s said during training. I’m progressing little by little. Spanish is very difficult for me, although I am getting used to it. I am making an effort. It’s complicated. But if I can conquer Spanish, it will have been a great achievement.— David BeckhamInterpretation:Here Beckham, the world-famous football star, shares with us his experience in learning a foreign language. From what Beckham says, we can see that learning a foreign language is difficult for everyone. But if we make an effort, we can conquer it. As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way.About David Beckham (1975- ): David Beckham became known as a football talent at the age of 11. He joined Manchester United as a professional midfielder (中锋) in January 1993. In June 2003, he moved to Spain and joined Real Madrid. A footballer with an amazing ability to score goals and get the crowd on its feet, Beckham is now well known as one of the best football players of the world.Section C Watching and DiscussionWatch the following video clip “Why is learning English important”and do the tasks that follow: 插入视频片段：“Why is learning English important.flv”1.

If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them. Secondly, I like traveling a lot.

新世纪大学英语综合教程第一册第二单元网络课程学习测试题及答案
Directions:You will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 11-20 with the exact words you have just heard. When the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. (10 points)There are times when living with adolescents can make you feel really exhausted. It seems as if nothing you do is right. You wonder what could be wrong with your once lovable obedient child, and whether you will ever get back to a friendly relationship again It is important to remember that you have put a lot of effort into earlier parenting and laying the. foundations for your teenager's development. The effort will not be wasted and you need to have faith in your past efforts.The major task of a teenager is to become an independent and responsible adult and most teenagers eventually achieve this and go on to have teenage children of their own. Providing you can hang in there, and at the same time keep your own sense of balance your teenager will most likely eventually emerge as a likeable adult.Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)Passage OneA public opinion poll published by The Children's Society reveals increasing concern about children's mental health and well being. When asked to rate children's happiness today compared to when they were growing up, only one in ten respondents felt children nowadays were happier.Adults' concerns echo what children themselves have told The Good Childhood Inquiry. In a survey of 8,000 14-16 year olds, carried out by The Children's Society as part of the inquiry, 27% of young people agreed with the statement 'I often feel depressed'.A number of children submitting evidence commented on the importance of being free from stress, pressure and worry. In some cases they explicitly linked pressure to school, the influence of peers, family expectations. Interestingly when asked what has the most negative impact on children's well-being generally, adults responding to the poll rated family breakdown and conflict and peer pressure highly.Considering the issue of how to promote better mental health and well being for children, Professor Stephen Scott, Institute of Psychiatry and an inquiry panel member said, "Many respondents to the inquiry shared the belief that well being depends on good relationships, especially within the family; on a sense of purpose and on freedom. To achievethis, child mental health and well being must be everybody's business. Support for parents is crucial; schooling has a key part to play; and providing the effective treatments now available for children with mental health problems takes time, skill and resources."There is a growing recognition of the true cost of neglecting children's mental health and well being. Too often mental health and well being have been dismissed as being of little importance but there is now an understanding that if we want to give children a better childhood these matters must be addressed. We now need to translate this growing concern into action and investment in the necessary support services.21. What is the purpose of the public opinion poll published by The Children's Society?A. To find out how children look at their parents.B. To find out how parents think of their children.C. To find out the relationship between parents and children.D. To find out how parents and children think of children's mental health.22. According to the 3rd paragraph, what is the most interesting thing in the results of the public opinion poll?A. Children are very conscious of several factors that may cause depression.B. Parents quite agree with children's opinions of the causes of depression.C. Parents think differently from children about the probable reasons that may cause children's mental illnesses.D. Children quite agree with parents' choices of the causes of mental problems.23. According to Professor Stephen Scott, which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. There exists a sharp difference in people's belief in how to promote children's mental well being.B. A good relationship, especially family relationship would play a positive role in the promotion of mental well being.C. To provide children with mental health, everyone should do their best.D. Besides parents and school, hospitals can also be effective tools to solve mental problems.24. What remains to be done in order to promote children's mental health?A.

What is the author's attitude towards children's mental well being?A. Indifferent.B. Concerned.C. Satisfied.D. Objective.Passage TwoParents say that children do not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complain that their parents do not understand them. This phenomenon is often referred to as the generation gap. What then are the causes of the generation gap?One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their way of life. In more traditional societies, when children grew up, they were expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents knew and agreed to, and to continue the family occupation. In modern society, young people often travel a great distance for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In the easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money; and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong expectation that parents have on their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in the modern society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people were valued for their wisdom, but in modern society, the lifetime knowledge may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a problem of our future life for some time. Its causes are rooted in the changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which the society changes.26. Which of the following phenomena can be referred to as the generation gap?A. Children are not obedient and don't listen to their parents'suggestions.B. Children are always complaining that their parents are too strict.c. There is a mutual understanding between parents and children.D. Parents and children can't easily understand each other.27. Young people used to _____.A. live near to their parents' homeB. go far away from their hometown for further educationC. choose jobs different from those of their parentsD. move out of their parents' home at an early age28. What do parents expect their children to do?A. To earn enough money.B. To be able to do what they were able to.C. To have promising jobs.D. To be more successful or accomplished than they were.29. What is NOT the reason that causes generation gap?A. Young people are more likely to choose their own ways of life.B. Parents have very strong expectations on their children.C. The modern society is changing at an unbelievable speed in many aspects.D. Parents and children share little in common.30. Why can't the generation gap be reduced or bridged?A. Because of lack of skills and abilities.B. Because of the rapid changing society.C. Because of lack of wisdom.D.

I should say that I am highly motivated to master English.

If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them. Secondly, I like traveling a lot. A good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world. Finally, I like literature a lot. If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions.▆ Sample essay for Task 2:Why I hate to learn EnglishI have learned English for about seven years. I should say the more I learn English, the more I hate it. First of all, learning English is boring. I have to memorize many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words. Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time. Secondly, I don’t understand why we have to learn a foreign language. I don’t want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn’t need English in China. Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read. So, if Idon’t have to learn English, I would rather use the time I spend on English。
