Before you can start speaking and writing in English, your brain must get enough correct English sentences. This is obvious（顯而易見的）.
There are two ways to get correct English sentences: listening and reading. Both are good, but reading is much easier than listening. With the help of a good dictionary, you will be able to understand English texts much more easily than movies. If you just read one book in English, you will see that your English has become much better. English phrases will just come to you without thinking when you are writing or speaking.
This is true for hundreds of words and grammar structures（結(jié)構(gòu)）. If you read in English, you can forget about grammar rules. Throw away your grammar book! You needn’t know the rules for the present perfect tense(現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)). Instead, read a few books in English, and soon you will feel that “I have seen Paul yesterday” is wrong. The only difference between you and native speakers is that they have heard and read more English sentences than you have.

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation.
In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice day, isn't it?” “Terrible weather, isn't it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: “Great game, isn't it?” At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: “The bus service is terrible, isn't it?”
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people great each and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.

As we all know，the Americans and the British people not only speak the same language……English，but also have a large number of ways of doing things．For example，in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．This is often true for women as well as for men．Also，most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to a woman and so will most Americans．That is polite，we call that “Lady first”．

Neither the British nor the Americans think that standing in a queue at the post office，the movies，the bank，supermarket or anywhere is wrong．To be on time is important both in England，and America．That is，if a dinner invitation is for seven o'clock，the dinner guest can't arrive by the time，he or she should call up to explain why he or she will be late or why he or she can't come．Of course，the Americans and the British have some differences：the Americans have “coffee breaks”，while the British more often have “tea breaks”，for example．But there is much more than that they have in common．

1．Which language do both the American and the British people speak?

2．When do people shake hands with foreigners?

3．Why do most men in England open the door for women?

4．What do British people have while Americans have coffee break?

　　Only a hundred years ago, people seldom traveled far out of their birthplace. Books were very expensive and there were few national（國(guó)家的）newspapers and no radio or TV. In fact, most people spent their time talking and listening. And only a little reading and writing went on and many people were unable to read and write. For this reason, native dialects（方言）grew up and people spoke as their parents and grandparents did. A Cornwall woman who traveled just as far as London would find that people spoke a complete different language.

　　Sometimes it is hard to take in just how much things have changed. You always have books around, read magazines and newspapers, have different TV or radio programs. You and everyone around you, often travel not just in British islands but all of the world. Modern science has changed our life and distances（距離）have been made shorter. It might have taken a Cornwall woman three days to travel to London. Now it takes less than two hours by air, less than four by train and less than six by road.

　　The result of this is that the language we use is becoming more national and the dialect are dying out. Writing, printing（印刷）and broadcasting（廣播）have speeded up this change as one dialect has come to be used by more and more people. This is the dialect called Standard（標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的）English which was first used outside London in the south and east Midlands.

(1) From the passage we know that a century ago __________.

[　　]

A．people wouldn't like to leave their birthplace

B．there were neither books nor newspapers

C．most people couldn't read and write

D．people learned to read and write from their family members

(2) If a Cornwall woman went to London a hundred years ago, she would find _________.

[　　]

A．London was not far from her birthplace

B．London was a strange city

C．she could easily understand London people

D．she could hardly understand London people

(3) Things have changed so much that people are not _____________ any more.

[　　]

A．watching TV and listening to the radio

B．reading books and magazines

C．traveling just within the British islands

D．traveling over tile world

(4) English is becoming more national because ________ .

[　　]

A．distances have been made shorter by modern science

B．it takes a Cornwall woman less time to travel to London

C．the capital of England has been moved to a place near Cornwall

D．people mustn't speak dialect in England

(5) Today Standard English is __________.

[　　]

A．dying out slowly

B．used by more and more people

C．used in east Midlands only

D．used by London people only

　　Many Chinese students find it difficult to learn English. But not Chinese, because Chinese is their mother tongue. Actually Chinese is much more difficult 1 than English.

　　Still some students in other countries can speak Chinese very well. If you didn't see them, you would 2 them for Chinese. What makes them 3 ?

　　“For me, conversation is the most helpful. I try to speak 4 Chinese. If you only listen to what others 5 , you'll be good at listening, but if you talk asmuch as you 6 , you'll find you can speak good English,” says Jenny Brown, an English girl now 7 Chinese at Beijing University. 8 is interested in Chinese and its history.

Need some ways on learning English? We have some great ones for you this time and we're sure they will help you to learn English more easily and more fun. (     )1. Find something interesting about your English study. Why not watch your favorite film in English? You could also read the lyrics of pop songs, or surf the internet and learn more about your favorite basketball or football players. (     )2. Studying 15 minutes each day is much better than studying 2 hours once each week. Studying is much more fun if you don't feel tired. (     )3. Read English texts as often as you can. This could be news, short stories or novels. Choose an interesting text that is not too difficult for you. Don't look up every new word－even without a dictionary you will understand a lot if you are interested in the topic. (     )4. Choose your favorite music. Have paper and pen ready as you may want to write down useful words or phrases. Listening to your favorite English songs is another cool way. Read first and find out what the song is about. Pick some words or phrases that you would like to learn. A dictionary may also be useful. (     )5. With your friends, you can repeat your English vocabulary, do your homework and help each other with English grammar. Maybe your friends have a better way of studying. Or, maybe you can give them cool advice!
