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.

24、阅读下列短文, 从每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “ 5-second rule!” This so–called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?
Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(细菌) than if it sits there for longer.
For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods——bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on the different types of flooring—carpet(地毯), laminate (复合地板) and tile(瓷砖) — for three seconds to 30 seconds.
Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer(转移) from carpet, while they are most likely to transfer laminate or tiled surface after more than five seconds.
The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection(感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time.” Hilton told Forbes.
【1】 What is the “5-second rule’ mean?
A. People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.
B. Food is safe when you pick it up off the floor in less than five seconds.
C. It’s better to eat dropped food when it’s been on the floor for over five seconds.
D. Food will go bad when dropped food on the floor in five seconds or less.
【2】 Where is Ashton University?
A. In the USA. B. In England.
C. In China. D. In France.
【3】 Hilton’s test wanted to find out____________.
A. if the “5-second rule” is true
B. the students’ favorite food
C. which food is easily dropped
D. if different types of floor have different bacteria
【4】 According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.
A. the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer.
B. the dropped food on the carpet had the least bacteria.
C. bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces.
D. the wetter food was likely to pick up bacteria.
【5】 According to the article, the infection risk of the dropped does NOT depend on _____________.
A. how long the food sits on the floor
B. what the dropped food is
C. what the bacteria are
D. what the weather is like that day

26、Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a forest and he thought he could hear a sad cry. Following the sound he came to a big, round, mysterious, grey fountain (喷泉). The sad sound seemed to be coming from the fountain pool. The boy swept aside the pool’s dirty surface water and saw a group of grey fish swimming in a slow circle through the pool.
Surprised by this, the boy tried to catch one of these unbelievable talking fish. But when he stuck (插) his arm into the water, it turned grey right up to the elbow (肘部). As this happened, a huge sadness came into him, and he suddenly understood how sad the fish were feeling.
He quickly pulled his arm out of the water, and ran from that place. But the arm stayed grey, and the boy continued feeling sad. He tried so many times to cheer himself up, but nothing worked. At last, he realized that happiness would be sent back to him through the earth on his arm if he could make the Earth happy.
From then on, he began looking after countryside. He cared for the plants, and he did what he could to keep the water from being polluted. He encouraged others to do the same. He was so successful that his arm started to recover its normal color. When the grey had disappeared completely, he started feeling happy again, and he decided to go and visit the fountain. When he was still some way from the fountain, he could hear the fish singing happily.

27、
Recently, a show called Child Genius (《天才儿童》) gets popular in Britain. The show invites a group of children competing a series of tasks to get the title of child genius. The tasks included subjects such as science, memory and spelling with a twist: the words were from Olds English.
But most of viewers are surprised at a parent who is strict with their 11-year-old son in preparing for Child Genius.
Maths wizz Gar Jun, 11, from Birmingham, successfully qualified to the next round of the show and amazed judges by his outstanding performance in the competition.
However, his mum Faye who owns a Chinese restaurant, said he could do better and told him to cut out the silly mistakes. Gar told people that sometimes his mum let him have a rest for only three minutes when he studied. His mum thought Child Genius was really a test to prove the Chinese education system could work very well. Fans were also shocked by Gar Jun’s father, who warned the son that his“only”choice was to come first.
While other children are addicted to computer games and football, Gar Jun likes nothing better than solving a meaty equation or studying his favorite subject–DNA. After spending two of the first three years of his life in China, Gar Jun came to Birmingham unable to speak English. But after three months, he could speak it fluently. Soon he could read and write very well. At the age of eight, Gar Jun passed his Grade Five music exam for the piano and the violin (the highest level is eight). Gar Jun enjoys rugby and hopes to become a doctor in the future.
His parents encourage Gar Jun and taught him themselves before he was old enough for school. Faye said, “Every single child has potential (潜力). I think we have to put some pressure. If a child has the talent, parents need to play their part in bringing out that talent.”
While she won some praise, other people blasted her strict regime. One tweeted said, “Gar Jun’s mum is beyond! Let your children have fun! It’s terrible to see him pushed so hard!!!”
