English is very important in the modern world. Many people want to learn it well. Here are some things that I want to say about learning it.
To learn English well, you need two things－passion and good learning methods (方法). Passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to learn it better and faster.
If you love learning English, you will learn it regularly (有規(guī)律地) and spend much time on it. It will also be easy for you to remember new words and grammar rules. ________ For example, some people like history and know a lot about World War II. If you ask a person who doesn’t like history to memorize all the facts, he probably can’t do it.
When you don’t want to learn English, you can do the following things.
First, imagine that you can talk to native speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager in a foreign company. Imagine you’re living in an English-speaking country.
Second, use English as much as possible. This is very important. The more you use English, the better you’ll learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, write English diaries, and read interesting books written in English.
小題1:The underlined word “passion” means “______” in Chinese.
A．態(tài)度B．熱情C．步驟D．情緒
小題2:The missing part in the Paragraph 3 can be ______.
A．You can’t memorize everything while learning English.
B．You will find it hard to learn English.
C．That’s because you can easily remember what you like.
D．Everyone likes to learn what they like most.
小題3:What can you do if you don’t want to learn English according to (根據(jù)) the passage?
A．Go to English-speaking countries.
B．Read interesting English books.
C．Stop learning it for some time.
D．Listen to music or play sports.
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the writer?
A．You need two things if you want to learn English well.
B．It’s difficult for a person to know a lot about World War II if he isn’t interested in history.
C．Learning methods are more important than passion.
D．It’s easy for you to remember new words or grammar rules if you’re an English lover.
小題5:The main idea of this passage is about ______.
A．the importance of learning English
B．English in the modern world
C．how to write e-mails to other people
D．some advice on how to learn English

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:B
小題4:C
小題5:D

試題分析：本文敘述的是關于學英語的一些建議。學習英語需要兩件東西：學習熱情和學習方法。學習熱情能使人想去學習，因為只有你喜歡英語，你才會去努力學習它。而學習方法只是使人如何學得更好，更快。如果你不想學習英語，你可以想象自己生活在說英語的國家，把英語當做母語來說；也可以盡可能多用英語。
小題1:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段的Because passion makes you want to learn English. 和第三段的If you love learning English, you will learn it regularly (有規(guī)律地) and spend much time on it可知此處指要熱愛英語，因此passion指的是熱情。故選B。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的some people like history and know a lot about World War II.可知人們對喜歡的東西了解得多，也就是喜歡學習自己喜歡的東西。故選D。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的You can watch American cartoons, write English diaries, and read interesting books written in English.可知如果不想學習英語，可以看美國卡通片，寫英語日記，讀有趣的英語書。故選B。
小題4:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to learn it better and faster.可知熱情更重要。故選C。
小題5:主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的Here are some things that I want to say about learning it.可知本文講的是關于學英語的一些建議。故選D。

An astronaut’s work may sound exciting, but living in space isn’t as fun as you think. The website www.space.com lists the disadvantages of living in space. Here are some of them.
When astronauts work outside the station during spacewalks, they have to wear special gloves. The gloves are very tight. They can hurt the astronauts’ fingernails(手指甲) and even make them fall off.
In space, you don’t have many choices in what you eat. It’s hard to get fresh fruits and vegetables. It is not OK to eat bread because it leaves crumbs(碎屑). Crumbs could fly around everywhere.
In space, it is impossible to have a good shower because water can fly all over the ship and break the machines. Astronauts have to use a special water-shooting(噴水) gun and a washcloth.
Astronauts lose their bone strength quickly during their stay in space. So far, there is no way to solve this problem. They do exercise while they’re in space to try to keep their bones strong as long as possible.
Perhaps the hardest part of life in space is the feeling of loneliness. Astronauts sometimes have to spend weeks and even months away from Earth. They miss their friends and families.

7 January, 2014
A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.
These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.
On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.
The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from
China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(專家) of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students.
"Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.
"We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."
Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students.
Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.
"The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students."
Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.

At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made an interesting discovery（發(fā)現(xiàn)）: we are built not just of flesh (肌肉) and blood but also of time. They were able to show that we all have a ‘body clock’       us, which controls the       and fall of our body energies. It can       us different from one day to the next.
The idea of a ‘body clock’ should not be too       because the lives of most living things are controlled by the 24-hour night-and-day cycle (循環(huán)). We feel       and fall asleep at night. We become       and energetic during the day. Most people will have a bad feeling if the 24-hour cycle is      . For example, people who are not used to working at night can find that lack (缺少) of sleep causes them to     badly at work.
