In my early childhood, I was often surprised when I saw my father making a small number of money with difficulty. Being a child, I was unable to understand him. When I was older, my father started doing a part-time job at home. He used to bring some work back and work until late night.

I can’t forget he played with me when I was 4 years old. He taught me how to read when I was at the age of five. He took care of me all night when I was sick. Whenever I felt down, he would cheer me up. He also cared about my lessons and often helped me get ready for exams. Later he sent me to New Delhi for the best education. Whenever I needed money, he never refused. He always managed money for my studies.

Two years ago, I got a job at a hospital in New Delhi. When I helped my first patient, I got a strong feeling of satisfaction. When I got my first salary(工资）which was ten times more than my pocket money, I spent it all on myself.

When I returned home one fine morning, I heard my father communicating with one neighbor. He was telling him my success in the job very proudly. He also told him that I had a higher salary than him at the end of his work. A dream-his son should become better than himself-came true. Since then, I could understand the meaning of my father’s aspirations. I could understand the decisions my father made in the past. He loved me a lot.

If today I am successful, this is because of my father.

   There are three common questions about how to improve our English.

   The first one is about real English. Some students say that they want to learn real English. But they don’t know what to do. Watching English films is a good way. When we are tired after studying for a long time, we can watch an English film to relax. While watching it ,we can also learn real English at the same time.

   The second is about speaking. Most students feel too shy to talk with foreigners. “Where are you from?” “What do you think of China?” These are both good questions to start a conversation. Before we start, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.

   The last one is about vocabulary. We want to remember all the new words. The problems is that we write them down but forget them soon. Write eight or ten words on a piece of paper and put it in our bedroom. Try to remember them. Spell the words whenever we see them, and change them every day. There is another way, when you are shopping, counting the English words or saying the English names for everything you see as much as possible.

1. According to the second paragraph, what can we do to learn real English?

1. Talk to foreign friends         B. Remember all words

 C. Watch English films          D. Write down words on paper

 2.In this passage, what’s the problem with most of the students speaking English?

 A. Too shy to talk to foreigners    B. Don’t know how to learn real English

 C. Can’t remember English words   D. Want to watch English films

 3.How can we start a conversation with foreigners?

 A. By taking a deep breath       B. By looking at them and smile

 C. By introducing ourselves to them   D. By asking some good questions

 4.What does the underlined word “vocabulary” mean?

  A.表达         B.口语        C.词汇         D.训练

 5. Which part of a magazine may the passage come from?

 A. Learning tips   B. English stories C. Foreign culture  D. Students’ life

D

阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的A、B、C、D、E、F六个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. __51__ It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks, “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine,” even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. ___52_.

Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don”t. I think you are wrong.”  It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say,  “I am not so sure.” __53__

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, “I’ve got to go now,” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door,” or “Something is burning on the stove.” __54__ The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.

Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. ___55__

A.     This is a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

B.     It’s very good not to tell the truth to our family.

C.     However, “How are you?”is also an unusual question.

D.     The excuse may be real, or not.

E.     They are common ways of saying “hello” or “hi”.

F      This is one way of being nice to people, and it’s a part of the game of language.
