Advice to English learners

    Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their ability.

    First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.

    Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “ fashionable”(時髦).

    Thirdly, listen to the English news programme over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.

    Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “special English” from the VOA or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.

This is a piece of advice to learners of English in how to_____.

A. improve their listening ability                 B. read fast

C. write better English and read fast              D. speak correctly

If you want to understand the English news programme on the radio, you should_________.

read the Chinese-language newspaper carefully

read again and again the Chinese-language newspaper

go through the Chinese-language newspaper

be able to recite the Chinese-language newspaper

“Beyond your level” means something_______.

A. easy for you                               B. too difficult for you

C. not too easy and not too difficult for you         D. just all right for you 

The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you should_______.

stick to it                                    B. begin with the last book

C. take up other courses if you are more fashionable     D. not do anything else

In this passage, VOA stands for______.

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“ I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“ I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But a younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they are positive(積極的) or negative (消極的)，they are rubbing off on you. If you are around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim(受害者) , chances are you will start as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: make a list of the people who you hand out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career(職業(yè)) path.”

科目：高中英語 來源：2013-2014學(xué)年浙江省高三上學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.

Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.

Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.

Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?

In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.

There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.

1.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our___.

A. self-respect    B. financial rewards    C. advertising ability  D. friendly relationship

2.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to___.

A. lying        B. stealing           C. cheating          D. advertising

3.The phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention”(in Para. 5) means___.

A. telling the truth to the clerk           B. offering advice to the clerk

C. asking the clerk to be more attentive    D. reminding the clerk of the charged item

4.How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?

A. We’ll be very excited.                B. We’ll feel unfortunate.

C. We’ll have a sense of honor.           D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.

5.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A. How to Live Truthfully                B. Importance of Peacefulness

C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect           D. Happiness through Honorable Actions
