Today both English language and Internet have brought the whole world right in your drawing room. Now you can do whatever you want to without leaving the comfort of your home. So English has become a must. Nothing is imaginable without it. How to solve the problem?
No speech can be imagined without listening. Develop a habit of listening to something in English daily. I mean to say, listen to English songs, short stories, interviews and short and simple conversations regularly. Repeat listening what you have just listened. Not once but many times. How does a child become able to speak? It is simple. He/She is compelled to listen whatever their parents and people around them speak. Gradually they begin to reproduce what they have heard. So enjoy listening. Listening practice will fix correct pronunciation of the words in your mind and you'll be able to utter them as naturally and easily as a native speaker does.
Speak what you have listened, as the more you listen, the more you will be able to speak and the more learning of the language will occur. So go on practicing speaking whatever you have heard. Furthermore speaking practice will train your mouth and ears. The main ideas of what you have listened and spoken will get fixed into your memory. Once the structures of sentences, phrases get fixed in your subconscious you'll never have to fumble for words, phrases or sentences when you converse with your friends or with someone else.
When you have taken these two steps, you will find amazing change. Now you can start to put in a little time in reading and writing skills as reading and writing skills have their own importance and place in a language learning and you can develop them on the strong foundation of listening and speaking skills later.

More than one million children in the United States do not go to school. Instead, they learn at home. Most often, their parents are their teachers. Educational companies, libraries and the Internet provide many families with teaching materials.
Parents choose home schooling for several reasons. Some choose it because of their religious beliefs. Others say it provides more time for the family to be together. They say the home offers a better place for learning. Some parents believe home schooling avoids learning. Some parents believe home schooling avoids problems of national schools. Critics, however, say children need to attend school with other children.
All fifty American states and the District of Columbia permit home schooling. Some states do not require much preparation by parents or testing of children. Other states have more requirements for home schooling. Home schooling in the United States began when the country was established. In farm areas, people often lived far from a school. Widespread home schooling took place until about the middle of the nineteenth century. Then, in 1852, the state of Massachusetts passed the first law requiring children to attend school.
Over the years, the American public education system strengthened and grew. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, some Americans believed that traditional education was not helping their children. So a number of parents began home schooling.
Home schooling expert Linda Dobson says many people have helped the movement grow. She says many kinds of people have joined the movement. These include rich people and poor people. They represent many races, religions and political beliefs. Ms. Dobson says the number of home-schooled children has increased an estimated fifteen to twenty percent each year during the last fifteen years.
【小題1】Teaching materials for home schooling do NOT come from _______.

It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humourist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?
　　Taking all amateur (業(yè)余) and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated (起源于) in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or "association football", it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.
　　The next is rugby, which is called "football" in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.
　　In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.
　　Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world　　Table tennis, or "ping-pong", surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.
41．The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to tell us that the English ___________.
　　A．a(chǎn)re all sports lovers           B．behave like children

　　C．They both can be handled.
　　D．They both can be kicked.
43．The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is _________.

The largest television network in America is not ABC, CBS, or Fox. Nor is it one of the cable net—works such as CNN, which carries only news and news stories. It is not ESPN, the all-sports cable net-work, or even MTV, which is famous for its music videos. Rather it is PBS, Public Broadcasting System, a non-profit public broadcasting TV service. PBS has 349 member television stations in the U. S. and some member stations by cable in Canada.
PBS only attracts a minority of all TV viewers, about 2 percent. The industry leader, NBC, however, attracts 11 percent of viewers. But the growth of public television in the past two decades has been dramatic. This is especially noteworthy when one considers that public television stations must often survive on very limited budgets, on viewers’ donations, and on private foundations and some governmental funding.
The level of quality of PBS programs, whether in national and international news, entertainment, or education, is excellent. Almost a whole generation of children throughout the world is familiar with Sesame Street and the characters of The Muppet Show. PBS is especially well known for the quality of its many educational TV programs. Over 95 percent of all public television stations have tele-courses. These courses are accepted and supported by more than 1,800 colleges and universities throughout the US. Each year, over a quarter of a million students take courses this way.
59．According to this article, PBS received part of its funding from._______.
A. private organizations                                                B. public schools
C. advertising agencies                                                  D. other television stations
60．What is PBS most famous for?
A. Cable services.                                                            B. Generous donations.

Can hard work be replaced by machines in agriculture? Yes, man is trying out automatic (自動化) farming. It is fun to watch a machine picking tomatoes. The strange machine sails like a ship across a sea of plants. In its front is a hole. As the machine moves forward, tomato plants are pulled into the hole. The tomatoes are gathered while the rest of the plants are thrown back onto the fields.  Twelve workers sit on top of the machine. They rapidly pick out the bad fruit from the tomatoes. A red stream of ripe tomatoes is being sent into a cart that is pulled alongside the machine. One driver and twelve workers can pick in an hour ten tons of a new kind of tomato. Without the invention, it would take 60 men to do the job.
Not all plants cooperate well with the farming machines. Take lettuce(萵苣)for example, seeds plants in the same field in the same time ripe at different times. The only way to tell a ripe head of lettuce is to look at it and feel it. And now there is a machine even to do that!
There is a special machine to test lettuce. When it moves over one that feels right, it sends a signal back to the picking machine which goes behind. The cutting and picking is done satisfactorily by this unit.

In Revere, Masachusctts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.

For years,business people in Western Europe were worried.They knew they could not compete(競爭)against business from the U.S.The United States is much larger and had many more resources than any Western European country.

Over time, the custom of kissing developed as a way for adults to express their love and affection for one another. The roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times, when mothers fondled their children, much as mothers do today.
Much later, in the sixth century, society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as expression of their affection. Not surprisingly, France first accepted kissing in courtship (求愛).There, figure dancing was popular, and each dance was sealed with a kiss.
The custom of kissing swept from France through Europe to Russia, where Russian nobility loved to imitate the French. Eventually, the kiss was incorporated into marriage ceremonies, and today lip – locks couples into sweet matrimony.
The custom of kissing today, as well as in ancient times, serves to pay homage to another. For example, early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to be dignified (valued and respected). One Roman emperor even ranked a person’s importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.
In Russia, the highest sign of recognition from the Crown meant kiss from the Tsar himself. Today, natives of many African tribes pay homage to their Chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.

Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text．The reader puts questions，as they were．to the text and get answers．In the light of these he puts further questions，and so on．
For most of the time this“conversation”goes on below the level of consciousness．At times，however，we become aware of it．This is usually when we are running into difficulties，when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning．When successful matching is being experienced，our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level．
Different people converse with the text differently．Some stay very close to the words on the page；others take off imaginatively from words，interpreting，criticizing，analyzing and examining．The former represents a kind of comprehension that is written in the text，while the latter represents higher levels of comprehension．The balance between these is important，especially for advanced readers．
There is another conversation that from our point of view is important，and that has not to do with what is read but with how it is read．We call this a“process”conversation as opposed to a“content”，conversation．It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading．If we are skilled readers，our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed．Not so our ability to hold a process conversation．It is just this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level． 
40．Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when        .
A．the reader’s expectations agree with what is said in the text
B．the reader asks questions and gets answers
C．the reader has trouble understanding what the author says

41．At a lower level of comprehension，readers tend to        .
A．read a text slowly
B．read without thinking hard
C．interpret a text in their own way   ．
D．concentrate on the meaning of words only
42．A“process”conversation has to do with        .
A．the development of our ability to check the details
B．determining the main idea of a text
C．what reading material is read
D．the application of reading strategies
43．From the passage we know        .
A．it’s important for readers to have conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension
B．readers should take a critical attitude towards the author’s ideas
C．readers should learn to use different approaches in reading different texts
