        Many people always say that listening to spoken English is too hard for them. But if you don't
understand what people are saying, how can you talk with them? It may be difficult, but learning by
listening is necessary. It can be done.
        As we know, different people have different pronunciations of the same word. Standard (标准)
pronunciation is important for English speaking as well as for listening. In China, people from one area
may not understand what people from another area are saying because of the different Chinese dialects
(方言). Standard Chinese pronunciation can help people from different places understand each other easily. 
        It is the same with English. If your pronunciation is not standard, it is as hard for other people to
understand you as it is for you to understand them.
        If you want to learn how to listen to English, the following ways are helpful.
        Get some good books with tapes. Do the exercises, from the simple to the difficult, step by step.
        You can also watch English-language films, listen to English-language radio and TV programmes.
        Try to listen every day, even if only for a few minutes. At first you may understand few words.
Don't give up. Just listen.
        Remember to red and speak English every day. It will help you a lot. Every day, spend an hour
reading English. Finally you will notice that you're making progress.
        Talk to English-speaking people as often as possible. They will speak more slowly with you, use
simple words and use body language to help you understand them. Don't be afraid to talk to them. They
won't mind because they may have more trouble to make themselves understood in Chinese.
1. Is it possible for people to learn English by listening?
    ________________________________________________
2. What do you have to do when you talk with English-speaking people?
    ________________________________________________
3. Why is standard English very important?
    ________________________________________________
4. How many ways does the writer talk about to practise listening?
    ________________________________________________
5. When do you feel easier to understand English-speaking people?
    ________________________________________________

What is a language for? Some people seem to think it's r practicing grammar rules and learning words.That's wrong.A language is for exchanging ideas.It's no good knowing all about language if you can't use it.

Many students I have been teaching know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can't speak correctly or freely.They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes.We native speakers make mistakes,too.And we break rules.Bernard Shaw once said,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They are English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule。What used to be wrong becomes right.The people not only make history,they also make a language.They can make their own language.They can't make another people's language.

So Chinese students who ale learning English should pay attention to the grammar,but they shouldn't overdo it,They should put communication(交际)first.

1、While learning a foreign language,       

A、don't be afraid of making mistakes               B、don't be afraid of speaking too correctly

C、try to make mistakes like native speakers      D、try to speak it correctly

2、The passage says that while speaking English,         

A、English students never make mistakes                C  foreigners never make mistakes

C、some Englishmen also make mistakes           D、native speakers never make mistakes

3、The passage didn't say,but it leads you to believe that         

A、history is never changed                           B、history is always changing

C、language is never changed                           D、language is always changing

阅读下面短文,用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。(必要时加助动词或情态动词)
     The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak good English." But
the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer.
Thinking he had not made himself (1)           (understand) or the student had not heard him clearly, he said,
"Yes, indeed, you speak very well." But the Chinese student still kept (2)           (say) "No." In the end the
foreigner gave up and (3)           ( not know)what to say.
     What is wrong with the student's answer? It is because he didn't accept a compliment (称赞) as the
English people (4)           (do). He should have said "Thank you!" instead of "No". In fact he knew what
the American had said. But he was afraid that people would think he was too proud. According to the
Western culture, if someone says the dishes you (5)           (cook) are very delicious, you (6)           (say)
"Thank you." If someone says to a woman "You look so beautiful with the new clothes on", she should be
very happy and answer "Thank you" In our country we think being modest (谦虚) is a good thing, but in
the west, if you are modest and often say "No", then the others (7)           (agree) that you really cannot
do it, and you may (8)           (treat) unfairly (不公平地) by others. If asking for a job, one says something
like "Yes, I can certainly do it" instead of "Let me have a try on the job." He or she will expect (9)         
 (get) it. So in the west, one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he can't go anywhere.
Confidence (10)           (be) one of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite hard.
