Have you ever noticed ads which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on?

【1】 The only language that is easy to learn is the native language. And think how much practice that gets! Before World WarⅡpeople usually learned a foreign language in order to read the books and newspapers of the country.

Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. 【2】

Some people try at home with books and records or tapes, some use radios or television programs, others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a language at school.

【3】 However, most people can’t afford this, and for many it is not necessary.   【4】  For example, scientists and doctors only need to be able to read books and reports in foreign languages.

Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work.   【5】

24、Flying was once man’s dream. When man saw a bird fly, he wanted to fly, too. To be up in the sky, people studied the wings of birds. They tried many other ways, but nothing worked.

The great artist, Leonardo da Vinci, made designs for flying equipments, However, his try wasn’t successful. 800 years ago, a man in England made a pair of wings from chicken feathers (羽毛). Then he fixed them to his body and jumped from a tall building. He didn’t fly far. He fell heavily and broke his bones.

Things changed in September in 1783. Two brothers from France made a very large balloon

(气球) with paper and cloth. They knew hot air rises, so they built a fire inside a basket and hung it below the balloon. Hot air from the fire pushed the balloon up. The “hot air balloon” carried the first passengers—a sheep and a chicken. It traveled about 2 miles for eight minutes. The animals landed safely.

Two months later, they did it again. They had two people in the basket. That was really man’s first time in the sky.

25、As an old Chinese saying goes, Spring Festival comes right after Laba Festival, so get ready for a bowl of porridge while looking forward to the long-awaited family get-together.

Today, people across China are celebrating the Laba Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival. It’s on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month. What does this festival mean to Chinese people?
