Dont change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.Thirdly, listen to the English news program 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 some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.21.

School education is very important and usefulYet,no one can learn everything from schoolA teacher，no matter how much he knows，cant teach his students everything they want to knowThe teachers job is to show his students how to learnHe teaches them how to read and how to think.So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselvesIt is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize( some facts or formulas(公式)It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula to work out a math problemGreat scientists before us didnt get everything from schoolTheir teachers only showed them the wayEdison did not even finish primary schoolBut they were all so successfulThey invented so many things for mankindThe reason for their success is that they knew how to studyThey read books that were not taught at schoolThey would ask many questions as they readThey did thousands of experimentsThey worked hard all their lives，wasting not a single momentAbove all，they knew how to use their brains 25.People go to school toA. 1earn several subjects Bget an educationCmake a living D1earn a skill26.According to the passage，the most important thing a teacher should do isAto know everythingBto teach his students everything he knowsCto teach his students how to thinkDto teach his students how to study by themselves27.To work out a math problem, you need to knowAonly some facts Bhow to memorize some factsCthe method to work it out Donly a certain formula28.Why were many scientists so successful?AThey knew how to learn BThey received a good educationCThey were very clever DThey learned lots of facts and formulasCWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mothers Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously , did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent(（青春期的) voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me , whispering loudly, “Why he dont send me check already two week late.”And then , in perfect English I said : “Im getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I e to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.29.Why was the authors mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English. B.

What does the author think of her mothers English now?A. It confuses her. B. It makes her love to tell lies.C. It helps her understand the world. D. It makes her to be rude to people.DAs late as 1800, womens only place was in the home. The idea of woman in the business world was unthinkable. Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with mens names instead.Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened Englands first training school for nurse in 1860.The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to bee doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.33. Why couldnt women bee teachers easily? Because_A. the first profession open to them was writing.B. most schools and colleges were open only to men.C. they wanted to be nurses instead.D. they had to work in the hospital.34.
