difference. but when i hear someone from america speak english and hear someone speak chinese, i can tell you there are a lot of differences.i believe a common problem with chinese students learning english is that they were not taught to think in english. they have an idea spoken in english and want to translate the idea into chinese, then they think in chinese of the proper reply and translate it into english. after a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. you will learn faster if you begin to think in english at the very beginning of your study. many students ask me: what can i do to improve my spoken english? my reply is : the more english you speak, the better english you will speak. there are many things you can do to improve

most important people in their lives are their friends. they believe that their family members dont know them as well as their friends do. in large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas. it is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. this communication is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss something. these things are difficult to tell their family members. however, parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them. some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. have you ever

the special features of english people is self-discipline . generally, english people are polite and always want to please others. on the other hand, they dont like to show their emotions, even in dangerous situations. imagine the scene! some english people are caught in a violent storm in the forest. anybody else would be anxious to run away. the english would just try to hide their emotions. not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.we often hear of the english reserve . on a long railway journey, with four englishmen sitting together, often there wont be a single word spoken during the whole journey. the english think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions. that wouldnt be the case in america. in a short ride in new york, a taxi driver will tell you about himself, his wife and his family, and probably the towns of england he has visited, too.the english value privacy very much. an englishmans house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors. an englishmans house is his castle.finally, we have to refer to the most special feature of the scottish people the scottish dress. scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume the kilt. this short, skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men.the kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan, which is very special in scotland.8when the english are in a dangerous situation they usually _.a. laugh at other people b. behave very bravelyc. hide their emotions d. run away immediately9in the second paragraph the author mentions a taxi driver in new york to _.a. explain what a personal question isb. show the bad manners of americansc. show that english people are not very polited. show the reserve of the english10what do we know about the kilt in the last paragraph?a. its long and just like a skirt.b. its worn by both men and women.c. its made of a special type of cloth in scotland.d. its a traditional costume all over great britain.11what can we learn about the english from the passage?a. they are not very confident.b.a house with a fence all around makes them feel safe.c.they usually dont respect others privacy.d. they prefer a house with a garden to a flat.dstop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. instead，realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. only you have the power to make those seeds grow. the seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. success is a choice but not a chance. you can be a success if only you make the right choice.you cannot be successful without first developing yourself esteem your level of self esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself，and thus over your life. people with low self esteem do not believe that they have any power，or responsibility for their lives. they are leaves tossed by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.you can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.everything happens as a result of something. if we can identify the cause，we can control the effect. we are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. thoughts and beliefs cause everything. our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. one generally rises to the level that one expects. we are responsible for setting our expectations. our success depends upon our level of confidence. we are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.if you associate with positive thinking people，you are definitely going to achieve success. on the contrary，the opposite happens. we are responsible for finding，planting，and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory，born from setbacks.in short，in all areas of your life，whether they are financial，physical，emotional，or spiritual，you are responsible. once you recognize this，accept it，and firmly believe it，you are on the road to success.12losers would think that_.asuccess is the result of hard workbworking hard will lead to successcthey fail only because of bad luckdthey dont make efforts to succeed13it can be inferred from paragraph 5 that_.awhether we will succeed depends on our attitudesbdeveloping confidence is the key to future successcthoughts and beliefs are the result of creative minddsetting our expectations is essential before taking action14the last paragraph serves as_.athe proof of the authors pointbthe conclusion of the argumentcan introduction to another topicda comparison between two views15which is the best title of the text?asuccess is a choice bthe secrets of successcdevelop our confidence dhow to achieve success二，七选五（每小题2分，共10分）a. independence leading to family breakupb. womens easy and convenient life in usac. no marriage for many people nowadaysd. average american families getting smalle. full freedom for young womenf. divorce- a social problem in usa16_marriage, like other social instructions, is showing the strains of modern life. while more americans are getting married today than ever before, the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise (one divorce for every three marriages last year). why should this be so, and what, if anything, can we do to reverse this trend?17_for most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do. released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. women are achieving economic independence.18_families, too, are simpler today. in american, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. with our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to florida or arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.19_young adult women have new freedom, too. while attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. after college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up “bachelor” apartment. this is the era of womens liberation.20_but all this freedom and affluence have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage. men and women, no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance, find it harder to accept the responsibilities and restraints or endurance the misunderstandings of married life. when happiness becomes misery, many couples decide to terminate their marriage through divorce. on the other hand, there is a growing trend today for couples in trouble to try to save their marriage by consulting a professional counselor. he listens patiently while they talk, knowing that only through self-understanding can they solve their problems.三、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从2645各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 i spent two months with an american family
