20．If you talk to a man in a language he understands，that goes to his head．If you talk to him in his own language，that goes to his heart．-Nelson Mandela
But learning a language can seem difficult，so I'm going to provide an overview of the general strategy before we get into the specifics．
Here is the breakdown．We'll go more in depth into each of these later on．
1．Get the right resources for learning：a grammar book，memorization software，and films or books．
2．Get a private tutor．You want one for at least a month．I recommend four hours per day．
3．Attempt to speak and think only in the new language．Every time you can't remember a word，put that word into your m emorization software．Practice your vocabulary daily．
4．Find friends，language partners，and other speakers of the language．Once you can have basic conversations with your private tutor，you need to find other partners．If you haven't already，think about moving to the country where the language is spoken．Consider a group class．Practice continuously．Stop speaking English．
That's the basic strategy．Again，this strategy is intensive，because learning a language in three months is a difficult task．If you'd prefer to learn the language more slowly or you don't have the ability to move to a new country and practice 4-8 hours a day，the n you can modify the plan．It is extremely important that you practice every day，however-20 minutes a day is much better than once or twice a week．
Some of these concepts are hard to understand through the written word，so I created a video series，just for Zen Habits readers，that teaches the steps to learn a language．Get the Hack The System Language Learning Videos here．

34．C．推理判断题．根据第七段的最后一句话"Stop speaking English．"可知，本文是写给讲英语的读者的．故选C项．
35．A．词义猜测题．根据倒数第二段第二句的"…learning a language in three months is a difficult task．"可知，这个学习策略计划让读者在三个月学习一门语言．再根据本段第三句"If you'd prefer to learn the language more slowly or you don't have the ability to move to a new country and practice 4-8 hours a day…"可知，主句意为"那么你可以修改这个计划．"故选A项．
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
