阅读下面短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。

  There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world.But only a few of them are very important.English is one of these.Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world.About 200, 000, 000 people speak it as their own language.It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language.Many millions of people are trying to do so.

  Is it easy or difficult to learn English?Different people may have different answers.Have you ever noticed ads(广告)of this kind in the newspapers or magazines?“Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back…”“easy and funny…”,“Our records and tapes help you master English in a month”.Of course, it never happened quite like this.

  The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue.We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children.If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult.Think of what a small child does.He listens to what people say.He tries what he hears.

  So it is hard to say that learning English is easy.We must do a lot of practice.And practice needs great effort and takes much time.Good teachers, records, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student's work for him.

1.How many languages are very important in the world?

_____________________

2.If we want to learn English well, what shall we do?

  Winter break! Two whole weeks without homework-two whole weeks of heaven.Two weeks to relax.I imagined myself getting plenty of sleep.I planned on reading“The Giver”, which I hadn't had time to read.

  But soon I noticed something:I couldn't sleep.It would be 12∶30 a. m.and I would be trying to fall asleep.I would begin thinking that I haven't done anything today!

  This happened the next night, and the night after.During the day, when I had free time, I would be pacing(踱步)around the room moaning(抱怨)that I had nothing to do! I was eating when I wasn't hungry.I was playing a computer game even though it was boring.

  The truth, I concluded, is that relaxation doesn't mean doing nothing.Relaxation means doing something enjoyable.I planned to swim at the local high school.I set up a practice schedule of an hour and a half per day.I decided to read two books that my friend had recommended(推荐)to me.I planned to do a little community service work, volunteering to help at the nearby old people's home for two hours every day.After doing those things, writing e-mails to my friends, watching DVDs and sleeping 12 hours a day, my days are full.And I'm truly having fun relaxing.

  Of course, some of my earlier wishes have come true.Being free from school work has taken a load off my mind, helped me to get in perspective(洞察力)and brought me back in touch with my family and myself.Getting so much sleep has done wonders for my state of mind.

  After each past winter break, I haven't been able to say what I did, how I used my time.This winter break will be different.I am relaxing by working.

1.How did the author feel about the vacation at first?

_________________________

2.What was the author's problem after a few days?

_________________________

3.What does relaxation mean to the author finally?

_________________________

4.What does the underlined sentence mean?

  When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is what money is today. But in the past people used many things instead of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco(烟草), or stones. Today there are still some places in the world that do not use paper money. One place is the island of Yap in the Pacific Ocean.

  On the island of Yap, people use the heaviest money in the world-Yap stones. These are round, white stones with a hole in the middle. The Yap stones do not originate(起源) from the island. The Yap men have to go to islands four hundred miles away to get them. Big stones can be twelve feet high-as big as two tall men. Small stones are as big as a dinner plate.

  Rich people do not carry the Yap stones. Servants(仆人) Follow the rich. Each servant carries a stone on a long stick over his shoulder(肩膀). Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. But for other things they still prefer Yap stones.
