Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between his language and others’ language. Bit by bit, he makes the right changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things. They learn to talk, run, climb, ride a bicycle by comparing their own behaviors with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school teachers never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, even fewer chances for him to correct himself. They do it all for him. Teachers act as if the student would never notice a mistake if they did not point out it to him. They act as if the student would never correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let the student do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word means and what the answer is to that problem.
Possible version 1
Students’ Mistakes should Be Corrected by Their Teachers
①Some people think that children’s learning mistakes should not be corrected by their teachers. ②Children learn by comparing their behaviors, including their speech, with more skilled people. ③But in school teachers always point out and correct their students’ mistakes for them, making the students dependent on them. ④So children should learn by correcting their own mistakes and helping each other instead of having their mistakes corrected by their teachers.
⑤This opinion sounds right but is hardly practical. ⑥In real school learning situations, especially in learning a foreign language like English, without teachers’ correction all the way, beginners will repeat their mistakes without realizing it. ⑦I, for example, liked to use words that are too formal for a student’s composition. ⑧But I never realizing it until my teachers repeatedly replaced them with simple words. ⑨Now, I can writer naturally in simple English. ⑩So teachers should be encouraged to correct their students’ mistakes as soon as possible .
Possible version 2
Children learn everything by finding and correcting the mistakes. For example, when they are learning a language, they will compare their language with other people’s and make some changes if necessary. But in schools, students never have the chance to correct themselves because the teachers have done all the things for them. That is why students can not become independent in schools.
In my opinion, it is right for the teachers to correct the student’s language mistakes. When I was learning English in junior high school, I always wrote the wrong sentence “I very much like English” because I took it for granted that languages have the same word order. Having noticed my mistakes several times, my teacher, Mr. Li, wrote in my exercise book: English and Chinese have different word orders. Please use English word order to write English sentences.” After that, I paid more attention to the word order of English and I rarely made such mistakes from then on. I should thank my teacher for correcting my mistakes in time.

The phone is ringing at the other end of the line and it clicks as it is being answered.A voice says quickly, “Hello, will you hold, please?” then there is another click, followed by silence.It seems like hours before someone comes back on the line—that is, if you don’t hang up first.
Office calls are, perhaps, the most difficult and the most important part of a secretary’s work.The first impression that a client(顾客)receives about a business is often through a telephone contact.A caller who is left hanging on “hold” will get the feeling that he or she has been forgotten or ignored.If a call is answered rudely, the caller may become angry.And if the call is not routed directly to the right person, the caller may feel that he or she is getting the “run-around”.
Laura Needham is a secretary in the executive offices of a large manufacturing company.As a good office secretary, Laura knows that all phone calls must be answered quickly and handled efficiently.She knows that a secretary must be pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy she is or what kind of mood she may be in.she knows she must keep calm if a caller gets impatient or becomes angry; also, of course, she knows she can never allow herself to lose her temper.If she does not have the information the caller asks for, she must know who does have the information.Finally, she knows that one of her most important responsibilities is to “screen” telephone calls and to know which calls to refer to her boss, which calls to refer to other people, and which calls to handle herself.
A well-handled telephone call will give the caller a good impression of the company he or she is dealing with.For this reason, an office secretary who can handle telephone calls cheerfully, tactfully(机敏), and efficiently is a valuable asset(财富)to any organization.

To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write.Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian.But when they went to England in 1980, English people couldn’t understand what was said to them.These days more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study.So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.
Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening.If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly.The sounds of the Chinese and English language are not exactly the same.If you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas.People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing.The important thing is to make your idea in your head and then to write it in clear lively language.
Chinese students read far too slowly.If you read fast, you understand better.If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about.When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary.Guess the meaning from the context.You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer.If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book.
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they’re studying.They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation.In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.
1.How many points are there in the passage? .
A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five
2.In his first point the writer told us .
A.how to speak English B.how to read and write
C.why spoken English is important D.why English people couldn’t understand Lenin
3.In his last point the writer advised us .
A.to kill two birds with one stone
B.to learn two languages at a time
C.to study all the subjects in a foreign language
D.to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying.
4.In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on .
A.how to read faster
B.how to guess the meaning from the context
C.how to look up new words in the dictionary
D.how to grasp the general meaning of a passage
5.“To kill two birds with on stone” means .
A.to get some particular knowledge B.to get more than what one pays
C.the stone is too big D.the birds are blind enough

Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if
they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.
The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly.Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.So they are called “diseases of civilization (文明)”.Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes(中风)are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol(酒精) or tobacco, probably none.Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today.
Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals.They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits.They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains.But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods.We eat six times more salt than stone-age people.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein(蛋白质)and much less vitamin C.
People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods.
1.The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate .
A.more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago did
B.as humans living 10,000 years ago
C.more kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago
D.more of the same kinds of foods eaten by people over 10,000 years ago.
2.New kinds of sicknesses have been found because .
A.the human body has changed compared with human first appeared on earth
B.the way we live has changed a little
C.our body can’t deal with the changes in life style
D.the way we live today is proper for the human body
3.What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?
A.Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise
B.People today have a lot of alcohol
C.People today have more tobacco
D.Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times
4.Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of .
A.milk and other dairy products B.grain foods and farm animals
C.salt and sugar D.wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits
5.From this article, we know that are not good to our health.
A.protein and vitamin C B.milk and grain foods
C.wild animals, vegetables and fruits D.a huge amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods
