hard to say , but the best way of learning a language is using it. the best way of learning english is talking in english as much as possible. sometimes youll get your words mixed up (混合) and people will not understand you. sometimes people will say things too quickly and you cant understand them. but if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. dont be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. its better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they dont understand what you are saying. the most important thing for learning english is: dont be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes. 56. the writer thinks that the most important thing for you to learn a language is_. a. reading b. practising c. talking about it d. listening57. if people laugh at the mistakes you make, you should _. a. be angry with them b. be angry with yourself c. not care d. believe you are right58. the story tell us: _. a. it is normal (正常的) that we make some mistakes in learning english b. everyone must make mistakes c. we can avoid making mistakes in learning a language d. being laughed at can help one learn english wellhere is a chance to know america better. there are more than 250,000 rivers in the united states. added up together, they flow for more than 5,500,000 kilometers. the largest and most famous river in the united states is the mississippi. it starts near the northern border of the united states and flows through the center of the country for more than 3,700 kilometers. about 250 smaller rivers flow into the mississippi. the mouth of the mississippi empties into the gulf of mexico. however, the missouri river is the longest river in the united states. it flows for about 4,000 kilometers. it begins in the rocky mountains of north america. it flows along the borders of seven states before it empties into the mississippi river near the city of saint louis, missouri. three rivers that join together in the north central state of montana form the missouri river. the water is clear there. but, as it moves east and south, the missouri river turns brown as it collects huge amounts of dirt from the land. that is why many people call the missouri river the “big muddy”. some people say the columbia river in the northwest is the most beautiful river in america. it flows from the canadian province of british columbia into the united states through the state of washington. the columbia river is the largest river that empties into the pacific ocean. another famous river is the rio grande. it is the longest river in the state of texas. it forms the border between texas and mexico. the oldest river in the united states is the new river. it begins in the appalachian mountains of north carolina and flows north through parts of virginia and west virginia. the new river may be also the second oldest in the world. it is funny how something so old can be called new.59. from paragraph 4 we know that the water in the upper reaches of the missouri river is _.a. muddy b. dirty c. clear d. brown60. in the state of washington you can visit the beautiful _.a. missouri riverb. mississippi river c. new riverd. columbia river61. which of the following rivers is the border between texas and mexico? a. the rio grande river. b. the new river. c. the columbia river. d. the mississippi river. cdo you care about your surroundings? 1970 was “world conservation year”. the united nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. they hoped that the governments would act quickly in order to conserve nature. here is one example of the problem. at one time there were 1300 different plants, trees and flowers in holland, but now only 860 remain. the others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. we are changing the earth, the air and the water, and everything that grows and lives. we cant live without these things. if we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves. what will happen in the future? perhaps it is more important to ask “what must we do now?” the people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. a lot of them know that conservation is necessary. many are hoping to save our world. they plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests and so on. in a small town in the united states a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometers of their river. young people may hear about conservation through a record called “no, ones going to change our world.” it was made by scatles, cliff richard and other singers. the money from it will help to conserve wild animals.62. there are few plants, trees and flowers in holland now because _. a. there has been a lot of conservation in holland b. holland does not need so many plants, trees and flowers c. some plants, trees and flowers are dangerousd. many plants, trees and flowers dont grow there any more with human man destroying nature.63. we shall destroy ourselves if we dont _. a. improve our technology in planting trees b. care about “no, ones going to change our world” c. try our best to save the world d. change the earth64. “no, ones going to change our world. ” was _. a. an important book published in 1970 b. a record calling on people to conserve nature c. an idea that nobody would accept d. a rule worked out by the united states65. what is the most important thing for us to do to save our world?

a. conservation is necessary. b. the united nations wanted everybody to know that the world is in danger. c. 1970 was “world conservation year”. d. it is the young people who are helping to save our world .d in the 1960s, medical researchers thomas holmes and richard rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. they appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. bad events like serious illness of a family member were high on the list, but so were some helpful life-changing events like marriage. when you take the holmes-rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress -it only shows how much you have to deal with. and we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically (戏剧性的) affects your chances of staying healthy. by the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed holmes and rahe. and millions of americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. womens magazines ran titles like stress causes illness.if you want to stay physically and mentally healthy the articles said avoid stressful events. but such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. even if stressful events are dangerous, many like the death of a loved one are impossible to avoid. moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from chances as well as trouble. since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. the idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. it supposes were not active in the face of the difficult situation. but what about human ability and creativity? many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. we also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure.67. the result of holmes-rahes medical research tells us _. a. the way you deal with major events may cause stress b. what should be done to avoid stress c. what kind of event would cause stress d. how to deal with sudden changes in life68. the studies on stress in the early 1970s led to _. a. all avoidance of stressful jobs b. widespread worry about its harmful effects c. a good result of stress-related illnesses d. a great cure of the mental disorder69. the score of the holmes-rahe test shows _. a. how you can deal with life-changing events b. how helpful events can change your life c. how stressful a major event can be d. how much pressure you are unde70. why is “such simplistic advice” impossible to follow according to the author?a. no one can stay on the same job for long.b. no prescription is effective in reducing stress. c. people are sure to get married. d. you could reduce stress by doing nothing.71. according to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become _.a. nervous when faced with difficultiesb. physically and mentally tired c. more able to deal with difficulties d. cold toward what happens to themepeople say that a mothers love knows no boundaries. this is true when it comes to my mother. she has given up many things so that my sisters and i could live a better life. my mother comes from a large family and her parents died when she was quite young. she dropped out of school when she was fifteen because no one could afford to pay her studies. at the age of 19, she married my father and when they had my sisters and i, they moved to the united states so that we could have a better life. my parents did not know english but somehow they communicated with other people. my mother stayed at home and raised us while my father was working. there were so many dangerous incidents that happened where we lived th
