If you want to speak English well，it’s _______for you to practice as often as possible．

A．necessary            B．different        C．wrong

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about Swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener, but he is afraid to speak because he’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. When there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior（年級較高的）school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is very important.
It’s easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.

If you are one of those who want to know how to increase your vocabulary, there are some ways you may find useful. In fact, it is not that difficult to learn new words, but to remember them for a lifetime seems not to be so easy.
To make it easier, you can try word associations（聯(lián)想）. Try to find a connection between a new word and things or people you know. For example, if your neighbour is an unselfish person who cares about the needs of other people, think about this person every time you see the word, and very soon you'll start actively using it.
Try to use the words you learn as often as possible. Perhaps you are not sure which situations they should be used in, or whether you pronounce（發(fā)音） them correctly, but practice is the best way to understand that. It is not enough to find out the meaning of a word. You should hammer (敲打) it into your mind by using it in actual conversations in everyday life.
Also, it may be helpful to know the meaning of the word roots, prefixes (前綴) and suffixes （后綴）， especially if they have a Greek or Latin origin（起源）． Even if you meet a long unfamiliar word, it will be easy to know its meaning if you know the general meaning of its parts.  For example, if you see the word "philanthropy", it won't be difficult to surmise what it means if you know that "anthropo" means "human" and "philo" means "loving". Not only can ancient Greek and Latin be helpful, but a number of modern languages as well. So, if you speak French,  Italian, Spanish or Portuguese, guess the meaning of an unfamiliar English word if it sounds like  a word from another language you know.
【小題1】 Which of the following old sayings can show the main idea of Paragraph 3?

    Have you ever thought of such questions as ‘‘Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all．My dream is to be an engineer．Should I give history up?”

    Maybe you are right．After you leave school，it's not necessary for you to understand everything．But please remember that at school，besides getting knowledge，you should pay attention to some other important things．

    First，try to find what you are most interested in．At school，you study many subjects．Try to find what you like and what you don't like。This may be helpful to you in the future．

    Second，maybe you don't like math and you want to drop it．But the logical thinking ability（邏輯思維能力）from math can help you solve some problems, At school，you should practice your brain by thinking．

    Third，you should believe in yourself．Maybe you learn French at school，but you don't need to speak French at all．But learning French can prove（證明）that you have the ability of learning languages。Suppose you go to Germany one day and find a job there．Then you call tell yourself, “I can do my job well．At school I learned French well．a(chǎn)nd now I must be able to learn German．”But if you have no confidence，what will happen?

    Try to challenge yourself as often as possible。I think many of us like playing computer games．When we fail in a game，we always want to try it again，why? Because it is hard for ns to get the highest mark．If we want to challenge ourselves，we must face more difficult things and make greater progress．

1．At school you should                     ．

   A．stop learning the Subjects you don't like

   B．both get knowledge and improve your ability

   C．pay more attention to math

3．Which of the following is TRUE?

   A．You will use everything you learn at school in your future job．

   B．It's not necessary to  know what you like at school．

   C．Everything you learn at school has an influence on you．

   D．Logical thinking ability is the most important ability．

4．Learning French can help us           ．

   A．have confidence in learning languages          B．go to Germany

   C．get a good result in the exam                         D．in nothing

5 ．The last paragraph tells as that             ．
