26、There are five keys to success in learning a foreign language.
Spend the time.
By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed(浸入) in the language.
【1】This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.
Listen and read every day.
Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player.【2】 Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.
【3】
Build up your vocabulary, you’ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.
Take responsibility for your own learning.
If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. 【4】Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up.
【5】
Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or can’t yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you can’t control. So just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.
A．Relax and make sure of the time spent with the language.
B．Focus on words and phrases.
C．Read what you are listening to.
D．Chat with others in the language on the Internet.
E．If you do want to learn the language, take control.
F．The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn.
G．There are hundreds of easy conversations for you to practice speaking.
27、Two-year-old Lilianna is sitting on her mother’s lap. She is busy with one of her favorite activities － playing Kneebouncers on the computer. Her father, Jim Robinson, is one half of the team that developed the website － Kneebouncers.com. According to Jim Robinson, he did all of the drawings and the characters and the silly little games, and Kurt brought them to life. Kurt Dommermuth is the other half of the development team.
The two men first had the idea for the website seven years ago. They both had baby girls at the time. Kurt’s daughter was nine months old. Jim’s was six months old, and he had two older kids, too. The elder children played on older sites, but their little sister could not use the mouse and she was getting frustrated. Now with Kneebouncers, touching any part of the computer keyboard can cause an action on the screen. Jim says that many of the eighteen games on the website are designed for very young children.
News of the website spread (传播) beyond the Robinson and Dommermuth families and friends. More than one million people from more than 180 countries have visited it. The website has added educational games to teach babies shapes, letters, colors and numbers. The two fathers say that they are developing programs for the Internet and television based on Kneebouncers.com characters and that the website remains free. Besides, Jim Robinson says the website is important in another way.
According to Jim Robinson, they have created a safe environment, too. There is no need to sign up. Visitors just enter the website, pick a game and start Kneebouncing.

28、In today's increasingly competitive society, people are loaded with a growing amount of stress. Stress can affect how you feel, think, and behave.【1】It's worth taking the time to learn different strategies for managing your stress.
●Identify the cause. If you are having problems with tense muscles, overtiredness headaches, it is quite possibly stress-related. Is it your job, relationship or something else? Problems can be divided into three categories: those with a practical solution, those will get better with time and those outside your control. 【2】
●Move your body. Exercise won't cure your stress, but it can help to clean your head. Try something new: yoga may be calming, but there's nothing more thrilling than hitting a punchbag. Don't worsen the stress by drinking and smoking.【3】 They will only make you feel physically and mentally worse.
【4】 If you are the kind of person who is open to advice complain to a friend about your stress. Friends can work as a support group, and they may provide you with solutions. Sometimes, you can't see the easy way out of situation when you are standing right in the middle of it.
●Make a list. Having too much to do may cause you to rush around because, if you are moving faster, it feels as if you are getting more done.【5】Make a to-do list.

E．But this is a false impression.
F．It can also impact how your body functions.
G．Focus on the first kind and ignore the others.
29、Lessons in the Lost Art of Listening
When was the last time you listened to someone? And when was the last time someone really listened to you? I once asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare.
Of course, technology plays a role. People find phone calls interrupting them, preferring text or wordless emoji. Besides, schools and colleges rarely offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. You can join clubs to perfect your public speaking, but who attempts to achieve excellence in listening? The loud unpleasant mixture of sounds of modern life also stops us from listening.
Generally, listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say is related to you. It’s not about merely holding your peace while someone else holds forth. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond—the degree to which you facilitate the clear expression of another person’s thoughts and, in the process, have a clear mind of your own.
Good listeners ask good questions. They engage in exploring the topic, not to divert attention. There are curious questions like “Wouldn’t you agree…?” or “Don’t you think…?” These questions have strong tendencies. They will greatly influence the other person to change his or her view. And you’d better stay away from some personal questions like “What do you do for a living?” or “What part of town do you live in?” Just try to find out what excites people. Ask about the last movie they saw or for the story behind a piece of jewelry they’re wearing. Also good are expansive questions, such as, “If you could spend a month, where would you go?” Research indicates that when people who don’t know each other well ask each other this type of question, they feel more connected than if they spend time together achieving a task.
Because our brain can think a lot faster than people can talk, be careful with the tendency to take mental side trips when you are listening. Smart people’s attention is easily taken away by their own runaway thoughts. They may also assume they already know what the other person is going to say.
The reward of good listening will certainly be more interesting conversations. Researchers have found that attentive listeners receive more information from speakers, even when they don’t ask any questions. We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. The gentle voice of a mother and the criticism of a boss both ultimately form and shape us. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.
【1】One of the factors that influence listening is that ________.
A．our confidence in listening is decreasing
B．our speech creates a lot of noise around us
C．listening skills are seldom taught in school
D．texting causes a better effect than phone calls
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Why the art of listening gets lost by itself.
B．Why effective methods are used in listening.
C．How people make themselves well understood.
D．How people can reclaim the lost art of listening.
【3】According to the author, what should people do when they are listening?
A．Avoid being absent-minded.
B．Come up with curious questions.
C．Focus on the speaker’s personal information.
D．Try to find common interests with the speaker.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Listening and speaking deserve equal attention.
B．Good listeners maximize the benefits for themselves.
C．Bad listening ultimately contributes to people’s failure.
D．Listeners’ clear mind facilitates speakers’ expression of thoughts.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead?” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”
“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes!”
Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or an assembly, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself — and me!!!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
