Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.

Long ago, they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their cattle could feed, or to_____________________ from their enemies, or to find more favorable climates.

They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, keeping together.

Very soon they discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their tamed animals. They made boats out of tree trunks so as to travel across water.

Later they traveled, not for necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.

Traveling, of course, has now become a highly-organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet planes, all of which make traveling comfortable and safe.

One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
I believe a common(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.
【小题1】The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.
