It is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it.The word “huh?” is in worldwide use, a study found.
Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include “huh?”, or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly,the word is an absolutely necessary part of speech. Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we haven’t heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.
But while other words used in the same context, such as “sorry” or “what”, vary widely across languages, “huh?” remains unchanged.
The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world, including Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana, and an Australian Aboriginal language, as well as Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese.
They analysed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like‘‘huh?”and were used to request that whatever had Just been said be repeated. All contained a version of “huh?” The word was also found in another 21 languages. While there were subtle differences in each country, all sounded basically the same.
This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing. For instance, the Japanese for “dog” is “inu”, while the French is “chien”. It is thought that languages around the world have developed their own version of “huh?” because the sound is quick and simple to form, as well as being easily understood.
The researchers,said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like“huh?” but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human communication.They also have an answer for those who claim that “huh?” isn’t a word. They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages. It also can be considered a word because it’s something we learn to say, rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make.
1. According to researchers,the word “huh?” is very important in speech because _________.
A. its stable meaning in language development
B. its important function in communication
C. its simple and easy sound and spelling
D. its popularity in every language
2.What is the natural response if you hear the lady you’re speaking to say “huh?”?
A. You should ask her to repeat what she says before that.
B. You should apologize to her for speaking in a low voice.
C. You should invite her to share her different views politely.
D. You should try to repeat what you’ve just said in a clearer way.
3.According to researchers, “huh?”should be considered a word.rather than a sound because_________ .
A. it is listed in most dictionaries
B. it is something humans learn to say
C. there is a clear and consistent spelling of the word
D. it is pronounces quite differently around the world
4.What is the purpose of the text?
A. To inform readers about research on the worldwide used word “huh?”.
B. To argue that “huh?” is the most important word in every language.
C. To entertain readers by relating similar idioms in different languages.
D. To instruct readers of the differences of “huh?” in different languages.

When I first learn to write in English, I ran into much difficulties. The main problem was that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate everything that I came across it while I was reading into my own language. My teacher advised myself to keep a diary. I followed his advices and put down 100 words or so each day.
Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself as I was learning to express myself with simple English. One day I wrote a story and showed to my teacher. He liked it very much that he read it to the class. All said that the story was a good one. Their words were an great encouragement to me.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
If you’re making the film with other people, organize your cast and crew effectively. Make sure everybody knows their roles and what day and times they’re needed.
Give people specific jobs so they can become experts in their field. For example, a sound recordist listens to the sound through headphones as it’s being recorded, and holds an extra microphone if needed.
A camera operator frames the picture(取景), sets focus, checks the light and records the action. The editor “cuts” the picture together after it’s shot.
A producer is the contact point for the film. He or she makes sure crew and cast are there on time, talks to the press and organizes the budget.
A director has to make sure their vision is communicated. To do this everyone needs to be clear about what the director expects from each scene and each shot.
You may also need a make-up-artist, a choreographer, a driver, etc. However, you can quite easily make your first film on your own. Make a schedule that says which shots are to be taken where and when (this is called a shooting schedule) and when you’ve completed a take, cross it off the list. Remember that you may want to shoot “out of sequence”, e.g. shoot the last scene first, and the first last. Similarly if the film begins and ends by a tree in the park, it may make sense to film both scenes while you’re there.
If you’re making animation (動畫片), have a space that you can control. You may need extra lights and you may need to leave work in progress. Make sure people living with you are aware what’s happening. Animation needs a lot of undisturbed concentration and patience. Keep at it and it’ll pay off. Aardman and Disney both started off at home experimenting with clay , pens and a camera.
1.From the first two paragraphs we can learn that___________.
A. every crew member is an expert in his field.
B. careful preparations and arrangements are quite necessary.
C. both the cast and crew must arrive at the same time every day.
D. every person should have his equipment while working together.
2.A director knows the purpose of each step of the work, but___________ .
A. he needn’t tell others about that
B. other members just follow his orders
C. he must have it known and well understood by others
D. others may have their own ideas and special ways of working
3.To shoot a film, a shooting schedule must be fixed first ______________.
A. but it may be crossed off if unnecessary
B. but you needn’t work exactly on it
C. and each step must be carried out according to it.
D. and no one can change it once it is settled
