When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car．Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所)．I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories．

“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday．”

I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacancies’．So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCIES’, which in English means there are free rooms．Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun．In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road．When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun．Instead, the road ended in a large hole．

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French．I meant that I would like some more．However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you．”

1.My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______．

A．learning English

B．finding places to stay in England

C．driving their car on English roads

D．going to England by car

2.I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______．

A．they would be able to practise their English

B．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C．it would be convenient for them to have dinner

D．there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

3.If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______．

A．fall into a hole

B．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C．find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

D．have to take a different road

4.When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French, I ______．

A．didn’t really want any more coffee

B．wanted them to take the coffee pot away

C．really wanted some more coffee

D．wanted to express my politeness

The Dos and Don’ts of Learning a New Language People decide to learn another language for many different reasons．Some learn another language because they would like to live in another country．1.Some people have to study a language at school and others might decide to learn a language just for fun!

I’ve been learning French for just over two years．I decided to learn it because I wanted to learn something new and I love French culture．Learning French has been a fun and exciting journey but it’s also been challenging．I’ve learnt a lot about the challenges while learning a new language and have put together some‘dos’and‘don’ts’to help other language learners．

2.

Learning a new language can be a hard process that requires a lot of motivation．Try different activities to make your language learning more enjoyable．Why not try watching your favourite TV series in that language or listening to music in that language?

•Do write down your mistakes

3.I like to write the mistakes that I make in a small pocket book．

•Don’t set unrealistic expectations。

If you have recently started learning another language，it may be unrealistic to expect to be fluent within a couple of months．Be aware that it could take a while．4.It’s very difficult to have a native accent．The most important thing is that you’re clear and people can understand you．

•Don’t be scared

5.I worried about my accent，pronunciation，grammar and didn’t make the most of speaking opportunities．Looking back，it seems silly and now I’m more than happy to speak French．Don’t be afraid or overthink it，just be confident and speak．

A．Be confident

B．Do enjoy it

C．The same thing goes for accents．

D．Others decide to learn a language because of their job．

My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45．He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life．

Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter , some of his words have lived in my heart．One part always stands out．“Right now ,you are pretending to be a time killer(消磨時間者)．But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best．” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself．“You will do something great．” He didn’t know what would be, and neither did I ,but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself , I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask , “Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going ?”

A long way from 12 now , I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress．Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next : to be proud of , and believe in , somebody else．It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children．Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had．Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail．They’re only afraid of failing us．They’re only afraid of failing us．They don’t worry about being disappointed．Their fear as mine was until my father’s letter is of being a disappointment．

Give your children permission to succeed．They’re waiting for you to believe in them．I always knew my parents loved me．But trust me ：That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real , and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts ：“Don’t worry ; you’ll do something great．”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back．

Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture．“Culture shock”is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment．There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists．In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment．Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else．In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surrounding and, as a result, enjoy their life more．

There are some obvious factors（因素）in culture shock．The weather may be unpleasant．The customs may be different．The public service systems-the telephones, post office, or transportation－may be difficult to work out．The simplest things seem to be big problems．The language may be difficult．

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that．But culture shock surprises most people．Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their community．Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions．They find themselves without any identify（身份）．They have to build a new self－image．

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）．This feeling may be homesickness．When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time．They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security（安全）．This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short time, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture．Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience－these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock．

1.When people move to a new country, they _________．

A．will never be familiar with culture of the country

B．have well prepared for the new surroundings

C．will get used to the culture of the country quickly

D．will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty

2.According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ________．

A．the fewer difficulties you may have abroad

B．the more difficulties you may have abroad

C．the more money you will earn abroad

D．the less homesick you may feel abroad

3.According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except __________．

A．language communication

B．weather conditions and customs

C．public service systems

D．homesickness

4.The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to _______．

A．get familiar with new culture

B．develop a strange sense of self-protection

C．protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment

D．return to our own country

Five Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension（理解）

Help your child keep what he reads--an important skill，especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks．

Have him read aloud．This forces him to go slower，which gives him more time to process (加工) what he reads．1.．

Provide the right kinds of books．Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren't too hard．2.Stopping any more often than that to figure out（弄明白）a word makes it tough（艱苦） for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story．

3.To gain meaning from text，your child needs to read quickly and smoothly--a skill known as fluency．Rereading familiar，simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent．

Talk to the teacher．If your child is struggling hard with comprehension，he may need more help with his reading--for example，building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills．

Talk about what he's reading．This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book．4. For example:

● Before: “What interests you in this book？ What doesn't？”

● During: “5. Is it turning out the way you thought it would？ ”

● After: “Can you summarize the book？ What did you like about it？”

A．Reread to build fluency．

B．What's going on in the book？

C．Look up new words in the dictionary．

D．Do you know all the characters in the story？

E．Ask questions before，during，and after a reading session．

F．Plus，he's not only seeing the words，he's hearing them，too．

G．He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help．
