First of all, you must want to learn. If you are not interested in learning English, no class will help you and no book will help you. So you have to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, “Do I really want to learn English？” If you can't answer “yes” to this question, it is better for you to set English aside until you're ready and willing to learn.
● Set goals (目标)．
To learn English well, you must set some goals. 【4】 It will also help you to see your progress. Ask yourself, “What are my goals? What areas would I like to improve？” Think about what your goals are, and review once in a while to see that you are making progress toward your goals.
● Practice, practice, and practice.
After you have set your goals, you have a better idea of what you need to practice. Just like the athlete (运动员）whose goal is the Olympics must train（训练）daily, you as a language learner must practice language every day to make progress toward your goal. 【5】

23、Anna and her husband, Gray, got an unexpected delivery earlier this month after a security guard from a local grocery store appeared at their front door.
Anna said when she was in a hurry shopping at a grocery store in Kahului, she lost her wallet. But luckily, one of the store’s security guards, Johnson, found the wallet. After he finished his work that day, he rode a bike over 5 miles to Anna’s address to return the wallet.
When asked, Johnson said, “You know, I once lost a wallet too and it’s the worst thing in the world. I was just doing what I felt was right.”

24、Pieter Bruegel’s 1565 realistic painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “The work describes farmers cutting wheat nearly as tall as they are,” Ghent University biologist Ive De Smet says. “Nowadays, if you walk through a wheat field, you basically see wheat is about knee—high, which is a consequence of selective breeding(培育)from the second half of the 20th century.” De Smet says he’s teaming up with art historian David Vergauwen of Amarant to look at things where they can spot differences in shape, in color, and in size. Wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can help track the transformation of food crops over time.
Friends since childhood, they took interest in plants in artwork and began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum in Russia—where they noticed an odd—looking watermelon in an early—17th—century painting by Flemish artist Frans Snyders.
“So if you think of a watermelon, you cut it through, it should be dark red on the inside. But that one appeared to be pale and white.” De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But Vergauwen said, “This is one of the best painters ever from that era So if he paints it like that, that’s the way it must have been.” Other paintings showed that both red and white watermelons were raised during the 17th century.
The team hopes to set up an online research database of historical plant artwork. They create a social media hashtag(主题标签)for it. Anyone could send pictures of relevant artwork and details of plants when they visit a museum or exhibit through the hashtag. But, they add, the sources need to be realistic. “If you’re going to use, for example, Picasso to understand how a pear looked, you might be misled.”
【1】What can we learn from De Smet’s words in paragraph 1?
A．Humans have mainly fed on wheat since 1565.
B．Selective breeding affects agricultural structure.
C．Wheat has gone through great changes in height.
D．The scene in The Harvesters may be unbelievable.
【2】What is Vergauwen’s attitude to the watermelon painted by Frans Snyders?
A．Curious
B．Disapproving.
C．Doubtful.
D．Favorable.
【3】Why is the social media hashtag created?
A．To collect more paintings for their database.
B．To encourage people to focus on art.
C．To advertise their research database.
D．To share some historical plant artwork.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Ancient paintings focused on food crops.
B．Historical artwork reveals agricultural information.
C．Two men create a database of plant artwork.
D．Plants today are different from their ancestors.
