This year I am living abrad in Germany and trying t learn as much German as pssible. But ne thing I didn’t realize was hw many new wrds I wuld face every day. I see and hear new wrds everywhere: the ntices in the train statin; menus in restaurants; the lcal newspaper and f curse frm my German-speaking friends. New wrds are all arund yu when yu are in a freign cuntry.
At first , a lt f German wrds I didn’t understand gave me a headache. I kept n lking up new wrds, but by the end f the day I had frgtten mst f them already. It upset me. A mnth later, I went t a shp and bught a small ntebk. I set myself the gal f writing five new wrds a day int my little blue ntebk. Since then, in my bag, I have always carried an imprtant thing — my little blue wrd ntebk.
I dn’t have any rules abut which wrds I write dwn. Mst days I write dwn wrds that I learn frm my partners at wrk, r wrds that I have read. I have als learned the names f many fruits and vegetables frm lking at their labels in the supermarket—a very unexpected way f learning wrds. And I have learned many wrds that I have heard n TV r n the radi. If I hear a wrd that I even dn’t knw hw t spell, I write dwn hw I think it is and lk it up later.
My little blue wrd ntebk is nw like my clsest friend. We are like Batman and Rbin; we g everywhere tgether. Setting the small daily gal has made me feel much mre in cntrl f my language learning and I am already seeing an imprvement. I will cntinue t use it fr the rest f my stay in Germany and als when I return t university at hme in September.
What surprised the authr when living in Germany?
The high cst f living in Germany.
The difficulty f learning German grammar.
The new German wrds she encuntered daily.
The unfriendliness f lcal German speakers.
Hw des the authr chse wrds fr the ntebk?
By asking friends t dictate wrds.
By nting dwn any unfamiliar wrds.
By cpying restaurant menus entirely.
By selecting the hardest grammar rules.
Why did the writer cmpare her ntebk t Batman and Rbin?
T shw the ntebk is as famus as superheres.
T express her deep lve and dependence n the ntebk.
T suggest she wants t be a superher in language learning.
T prve that learning German is as exciting as superher stries.
What is the best title fr the passage?
Hw I Adapted t Life in Germany.
Hw I Mastered German Grammar.
Hw I Learned German with a Ntebk.
Hw I Realized the Value f Languages.

Peple are living lnger, and because f this, many cuntries are making peple wrk lnger t. Denmark recently said it will raise the retirement age frm 67 t 70 by 2040. Danish wrkers will then have t wrk lnger than wrkers in any ther cuntry befre they can retire. The Danish gvernment says this new rule is needed because peple are living lnger. But a unin leader named Jesper Rasmussen desn’t like this plan. He said, “Denmark’s ecnmy is ding well, but nw it will have the highest retirement age in the EU. Wrkers wn’t be able t enjy a gd life when they are ld.”
Denmark’s decisin is part f a big trend arund the wrld. With better hspitals, mre nutritius fd, and safer living places, peple’s lives are getting lnger. This is a prblem fr cuntries because there are mre ld peple and fewer yung peple wrking. Pensin systems, which pay mney t ld peple, are running ut f mney. S, raising the retirement age seems like a gd way t fix this prblem.
China will als raise the retirement age ver the next 15 years. The ne-child plicy in the past made the number f
yung peple smaller. Nw, there aren’t enugh yung wrkers t supprt ld peple.
Hwever, nt everyne likes the idea f wrking lnger. Wrkers’ grups are wrried. They say jbs like building huses r wrking in factries are t tiring fr ld peple. Als, lder wrkers may have a hard time finding r keeping a jb because sme bsses think they are t ld.
Ecnmists think raising the retirement age is gd fr the ecnmy. Mre wrkers mean mre prducts and mre
mney fr the cuntry. And the gvernment wn’t have t spend s much n pensins.
In shrt, raising the retirement age is a tugh prblem. Cuntries need t find a way t help ld peple wrk and still have a gd life. Maybe they can give ld wrkers training r make rules t stp bsses frm being unfair t them. Only then can cuntries deal with the prblem f an aging ppulatin well.
Why is Denmark raising the retirement age?
Because the ecnmy is bad.
Because peple are living lnger.
Because the EU asks them t d s.
Because there are t many wrkers.
What was the main prblem in China that led t the retirement age increase?
Peple didn’t like the ld retirement age.
T many ld peple didn’t want t retire.
The ne-child plicy made fewer yung wrkers.
The gvernment wanted mre mney frm wrkers.
What are wrkers’ grups wrried abut?
Old wrkers will get less pay.
Pensin systems will break dwn.
There wn’t be enugh jbs fr yung peple.
Old wrkers will be t tired and have truble finding jbs.
What slutin des the authr suggest fr aging ppulatins?
Offering training and fair rules.
Cutting pensins t save csts.
Encuraging earlier retirement.
Fcusing n yung wrkers.
