Walk, jump, bike or run.
Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!

27、I’d like to share my unforgettable experience with you. Believe it or not, it was a real happening.
We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. He said, “You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?” Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, “Oh, so you boys are in a band?” We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, “Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don’t you?” Tim said, “Yes.” So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn’t know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse (倒车), stopping a few feet behind our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn’t know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman’s voice came over his loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” The policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.
【1】Why did the middle-aged policeman come up to the car at first?
A．Because the policeman wanted to put them into prison.
B．Because they drove too slowly.
C．Because they were speeding.
D．Because the policeman enjoyed their performance.
【2】What is the only way for them to get out of the ticket?
A．If the policeman had long been at the band.
B．If the policeman sang part of one of the boys’ songs over the loudspeaker.
C．If the boy promised a performance.
D．If the boys played the music the policeman loved.
【3】The boys probably felt ________when they drove off.
A．frightened
B．calm
C．nervous
D．joyful
28、As a speaker of 10 languages I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. 【1】
Language learning is hard.
It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. 【2】 What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking.
【3】
No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted at languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude that determines success.
You have to live where the language is spoken.
Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learned to speak Mandarin fluently while living in Hong Kong, where few people spoke it. 【4】 You can download it to your iPod and listen. Where you live is not a problem.
I would love to learn but I don’t have the time.
How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, going for a walk? 【5】 Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time.
I believe if you can avoid these traps, we will surely become masters of language learning.
A．The following are some tips for you to follow.
B．You have to have a gift for learning languages.
C．Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult
D．We need to avoid some common misunderstandings
E．Languages can only be learned instead of being taught.
F．Why not use that time to listen to a language on your iPod?
G．With the Internet, language content is available to anyone with a computer.
