1、 When you travel abroad and meet foreigners who speak English well, you may think that they are Americans or British people. However, they can be non-native(非母语的) speakers of English. 1. For example, a number of Germans are good at English even though English isn’t their mother tongue.
Learning English is not a boring journey. 2. 据说许多学习者在日常生活里学英语。 Eric is a Russian actor. He used to have problems in pronouncing. Through TV programs, movies and music from English-speaking countries, he learned English in an interesting way with confidence built up. 3. “English songs and movies make me happy when I am blue,” he said. “It is always good to have something inspiring and cheerful in the learning process.”
4. Sometimes your effort may end up driving yourself mad. If so,asking for help is necessary and of great importance. No one is expected to learn something well without difficulties. When we find learning English hard, turn to others in time. And we are supposed to work with other English learners to support each other and encourage each other. 5. 此外,我们可以尽可能多参加社会活动。 For example, we can be voluntary guides to help foreign visitors, which is a chance to practice English.

As winter comes, hands can easily get cold. Thick gloves might be a good choice. But sometimes wearing them is not convenient, especially when people want to do something with their hands. However, cold hands were not a problem for ancient Chinese. They had a lovely tool to keep their hands warm—handwarmers.
There is no exact written record of this invention, but there are some stories about it. One folk story is about Emperor Yangdi from the Sui Dynasty(朝代)who visited Jiangsu in the winter. Because of the cold weather, the local officer asked workers to make a small warmer for the emperor that could be held in his hands. And the handwarmer was created. By the Song Dynasty, the tool had been widely used in China. Skills for producing the tool were greatly improved in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Many poems or books from the Qing Dynasty recorded people using handwamers. Take the Dream of the Red Chamber the classic novel by Cao Xueqin as an example. It described a maid(女仆)sent a handwarmer to Lin Daiyu in one chapter.
Made of bronze(铜)or ceramics(陶瓷), ancient handwarmners came in different designs. Round(八角形的)shapes were typical, with some fashioned to look like pumpkins and flowers.
【1】When was the handwarmer invented according to the folk story?
A.Sui Dynasty.
B.Song Dynasty.
C.Ming Dynasty.
【2】Who invented the handwarmer?
A.An emperor.
B.A worker.
C.A local officer.
【3】Why does the writer mention the scene in the novel Dream of the Red Chamber?
A.To show handwarmers are widely used.
B.To describe the beauty of handwarmers.
C.To explain the skills of producing handwarmers.

27、 Taking a gap year after high school is getting more popular among young adults each year. According to the American Gap Year Association (AGA), a gap year is often a year-long break taken between high school and college. AGA stresses that a gap year is a year on, rather than a year off, to oppose the belief that students are taking this time off as a vacation from schooling.
Gap years offer an opportunity for experiential learning. They allow you to leave the classroom and learn new skills and ideas through doing something. You might find yourself in completely new situations that call for special problem-solving skills. Moreover, many students go through twelve years of schooling in the same place with the same group of people. By taking a gap year, they can step out of their comfort zone (区域) and into an entirely new culture. Just like gaining new experiences on a gap year, they can also meet new people of all different ages and walks of life. Finally, a gap year can also be a great way to get yourself recharged (重新充电). Instead of immediately jumping into the next four years of your education, you can take a break from the classroom and focus on your personal interests and passions. Many top universities encourage accepted students to take a gap year before starting college.
However, before you get too excited about the idea of taking a gap year, you should also know about possible drawbacks. If you take a gap year, you could fall a year behind your peers (同伴). To catch up, you have to come up with a plan to graduate in three years. For the most part, studies show that students who take a gap year find themselves more driven when they arrive at college. However, you might find it difficult to return to an educational environment after taking a year away from the classroom.
There is no set time-line for your education, and going straight from high school to college definitely isn't for everyone. For me personally, I still benefit from my gap year experience traveling in European countries. Cap years can take a number of forms, and they require a good deal of intention and planning. So if you have a will-thought-out plan for taking a gap year, then you should feel confident in your decision. Taking a meaningful gap year could be one of the best life experiences you ever have!
【1】According to the passage, by taking a gap year, students can __________.
A.become more popular among their friends
B.catch with their peers at study in college
C.build a stronger relationship between learning and doing
D.realize the importance of staying in their comfortable zone
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Students should be encouraged to have a time off for a vacation after high school.
B.Colleges should require students to spend their gap year traveling in Europe.
C.It's better to recharge yourself by going straight from high school to college.
D.A gap year provides students with an opportunity for personal growth.
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Take a gap year on
B.Gap years: a perfect holiday
C.The risk of taking a gap year
D.How to take a meaningful gap year
