They may drink tea at any time of the day anywhere. But they don’t often drink tea just before they go to bed, for tea makes them awake.

In England, people like to drink tea with milk and sugar in it, and they often have it in the afternoon with their friends.

In Japan, people also like drinking tea very much. It is very popular there. They drink tea every day.They have it in a way different from that in China. Some young Japanese girls are good at making tea. They can do it beautifully.

    Alex Voloza is a polyglot. He can speak many languages very well. I had a chance to interview him. Voloza shared a lot of great advice on language learning.

   Q: Hi, Alex, what languages can you speak?

    A:Russian is my native language. I also have reached a near-native level in German，English and Ukrainian(乌克兰语). And I am very good at French, Spanish，Italian and Polish(波兰语).

   Q:What has helped you to learn so many languages? Do you have some kind of special talent?

    A:When I was in school,I was not good at English. I started working with a university professor when I was young. He showed me how exciting learning languages could be. From then on,I spent thousands of hours learning languages. I learned to see the fun in language learning. So，I have been more interested than others in developing skills.

   Now as a language teacher,I see students of different backgrounds. Many of them have more talent than I do. But success in language learning is more about practice than about talent.

   Q:For people who have just started with a new language, what do you recommend?

   A:It is very important to“spoon-feed”your brain with the language every day. Three hours of practice on the weekend and then no work during the workweek will not do the trick. Listen to an audio course and repeat the phrases you hear. You can also talk to yourself in the language. Remember that there is no shortcut to success.

   Make sure you have fun learning the language. If you don't like the teacher or the textbook, you can always make a change.

(  )41. How many kinds of languages can Alex Voloza speak?

  Computers are widely used in the world. As students, we can not only use them to relax, but also study online. Do you have any online classes? It is possible to take classes at home. All you need is a computer and an earphone.

  However, most students don’t seem to like online classes. Recently, over 2000 students from 10 cities took part in a survey. According to the survey, only about 35 percent of the students like taking such classes.

  Many students said it was hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Li Jing, 15, at No. 1 High School. “There are no classmates and no real teachers watching me. I can surf the Internet or do other things if I want to. It’s harder to always stay focused,” she said.

  Li Jing prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will keep her attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.

   Tian Lishan, 14, at No. 7 High School, thinks online interaction（互动）isn’t enough. “The online teachers don’t really get to know me. When I don’t hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern,” she said.

   However, online classes still have advantages. “It saves time and money compared with taking offline classes. Also, if I don’t understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again,” Li Jing said.

46．In the survey, ________ students like taking online classes.

    A．about 500     B．about 600    C．about 700  D．about 2000

47．Taking online classes has the following advantages________.

    ①save time          ②hard to focus           ③enough interaction

    ④save money         ⑤watch lessons over again

     A．①②④     B．②③⑤    C．①③④     D．①④⑤

48．The underlined word “concern” means “________” in the passage.

     A．care         B．prize         C．stress      D．knowledge

49．What can we learn about according to the passage?        

   A．Tian Lishan is a student from a high school in Beijing.

   B．Li Jing pushes herself to communicate with teachers in online classes.

   C．Li Jing thinks that online interaction isn’t enough.

   D．Li Jing thinks it is easy to always stay focused.
