18.As an English,I can speak three languages-English,German and French,so do you think the British people are very good language learners?The fact is that they aren't.
Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会)showed that 
62% of the British people only speak English.38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more.Compared with the British people,56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more.
From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language.
Many European people can have a conversation in English.That's why my people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.
In Britain,students are not required to learn a foreign language.That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school.In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14.So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school?Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.To solve this situation,the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school.One way is to start learning it at a much younger age.Another one is to give school children more choices.
Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!
61.Which country does the writer come from?C
A.America.
B.China.
C.Britain.
D.Egypt.
62.Which of the following about the British people is true?D
A.They are good language learners.
B.62% of them speak two or more languages.
C.They are famous for speaking foreign languages.
D.More than half of them only speak English.
63.According to the passage,students in Britain prefer to learnC.
A.science or German  
B.history or German
C.science or history  
D.German or French
64.In Paragraph 4,"an option"meansA.
A.a choice  
B.a game  
C.a mistake  
D.a conversation
65.What is the best title of the passage?B
A.Speaking English  
B.Foreign Language Learning in UK
C.Schools in UK  
D.Young English Learners.

Do you go to school by bus? It is very important for you to know how to be safe when taking a bus, no matter whether you like it or not.

First, don’t run to the bus stop, but walk. While you are at the bus stop, you should wait in a safe place. Do not run or play while waiting. And never get into a car with a stranger.

Second, don’t talk in a loud voice when you are on the bus, so the driver will not be disturbed(打扰). If you need to talk with the bus driver, you’d better wait until the bus stop. Never throw things on the bus or out of the windows. Never play near the emergency exit(紧急出口). When there is a fire, the most important thing is to break the window with a hammer or any sharp things and then jump out.

Third, when you are getting off the bus, make sure you walk(not run) three more steps away from the door. This is the best place to be around a bus. Stay away from the bus wheels and watch out for moving cars!

Last, if you leave something on the bus, never return(回到) to the bus to get it. The driver may not see you come back and he may begin moving the bus. Also, if you drop something near the bus, tell the driver before you try to pick it up, so he will know where you are.
