9、foods. Jesse has decided to spend Thanksgiving with David and Elizabeth Watson because he likes them, and because he cannot go to his parents home in Chicago.

They can pick up new vocabulary,

18、 master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of

19、 the techniques which make language learning easier for them. 2 First of all, successful language learners are independent learners, They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the p

20、atterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes, 3 Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use

21、the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and t

22、ry again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. 4 Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the la

23、nguage because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it. 5 What kind

24、of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above. 23 A Ways to Lear

By

28、 the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up low-income rental properties. He gave me a penny for every nail I pulled out of old boards. I got my first real job, at JMs Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities were clearing tables and washing dishes, but sometimes I helped cook.

29、 Every day after school I would head to JMs and work until ten. Saturdays I worked from two until eleven. At that age it was unlucky going to work and watching my friends run off to swim or play. I didnt necessarily like work, but I loved what working allowed me to have. Because of my job I was alwa

30、ys the one buying when my friends and I went to the local bar Tastee Freez. This made me proud. Word that I was honest and hardworking got around town. A local clothing store extended credit to me although I was only in the seventh grade. I immediately charged a $ 68 sports coat and a $ 22 pair of t

31、rousers. I was making only 65 cents an hour, and I was already $ 90 in debt! So I learned early the danger of easy credit. I paid it off as soon as I could. My first job taught me discipline, responsibility and brought me a level of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my fath

32、er, who worked three jobs, once told me, “If you understand sacrifice and commitment, there are not many things in life you cant have.“ How right he was! 31 When the author was a child, he was made to help his father work because （ A） the restaurant was short of hands. （ B） his family belonged to th

33、e low-income group. （ C） he wanted to earn some money. （ D） he was stronger than his two brothers. 32 At the age of 12, the author got a job at a restaurant and often worked till late at night because （ A） he liked that work. （ B） he didnt like playing. （ C） he was hard-working. （ D） he felt rewarde

37、an 100 small specialty shops, while the few that are not used yet will be filled as soon as the malls owners find proprietors (业主 ) who fit the malls image. One thing that makes Stone Hill Mall popular was that all of the stores remain open from 9 a.m. until 10 p. m., Monday through Friday. This fav

38、ourable start has certainly been advantageous thanks to such features as its being the only shopping centre in the area to provide free baby-sitting for children from two to eight yeas old and its offering restaurants to suit every pocket, with the possible exception of the highly budget-conscious.

39、Furthermore, as far as movie entertainment is concerned, Stone Hill Mall tops Westgate Mall, which looked very impressive when it opened last year, with three separate cinemas. Besides, th3 air-conditioning system makes sure a comfortable inside temperature of 25 degrees centigrade no matter what th

40、e weather is like outside, and in addition to its three beautiful fountains, the mall has a quiet garden area with comfortable benches and chairs for shoppers who have become tired. One complaint about Stone Hill Mall is that it is located outside the city, but there is a regular bus service between

41、 the mall and the city centre. A further complaint might he that, although the mall is surrounded by trees to ma it with the scenery, it will be some years before these can effectively make the main buildings and the vast parking lot a part of the area around. 36 Stone Hill Mall is different from ot

42、her malls because it has （ A） more large department stores. （ B） more empty space to rent. （ C） many shops selling special goods, （ D） shops selling expensive goods, 37 Stone Hill Mall is popular with shoppers mainly because of its （ A） long business hours. （ B） attractive restaurants. （ C） children

43、s stores. （ D） entertainment facilities. 38 What makes Stone Hill Mall a more favourable shopping place is （ A） the prices in the shops. （ B） the weather in the area. （ C） the childcare facilities. （ D） the conditions inside the mall. 39 It is implied in the passage that the writer takes a(n) _ atti

44、tude towards the mall. （ A） critical （ B） indifferent （ C） fair （ D） one-sided 40 The main purpose of the passage is to （ A） compare Stone Hill Mall with other shopping centres. （ B） introduce the unique features of the mall. （ C） discuss its strengths and weaknesses. （ D） draw attention to the inad

45、equacies of shopping centres. 41 Weight on and off the Ears We are so used to our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted. Because we can feel that things are heavy, we think of “weight“ as being a fixed qua

46、lity in an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a One-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound. Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into sp

47、ace? The reason is this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction. But this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. When the butter was at the surface of the earth, it was 4,000 miles from the center.

48、When we took the butter 4,000 miles out, it was 8,000 from the center, which is twice the distance. If you double the distance between two objects, their gravitational attraction decreases two times two. If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker (three times three) and so on. So this is

49、one of the first things we need to remember: that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth. What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon? At the distance the pull of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface, so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter. On the other hand, on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon: but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does
