optimistici began to grow up that winter night when my parents and i were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for america. we were on the bus then. i was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. i remember that i could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which i listened every morning. i do not remember myself crying for this reason again. in fact, i think i cried very little when i was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. when we were leaving i thought about all the places i was going to seethe strange and magical places i had known only from books and pictures. the country i was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. the four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. for the first two years in new york i was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. i did not quite know what i was or what i should be. mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. some time passed before my stepfather and i got used to each other. i was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ” my responsibilities in the family increased a lot since i knew english better than everyone else at home. i wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. from my experiences i have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! i believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. 46how did the author get to know america? afrom her relatives bfrom her mother cfrom books and pictures dfrom radio programs 47upon leaving for america

things will happen if one keeps tryingbabout a year ago, i went to stay at a detroit hotel. i didnt want to carry too much money with me, so i asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me. the next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. i didnt have any proof that i had given the man the money. there was nothing i could do but go to the nearest lawyer. the lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. this i did. an hour later, i went back to the desk and asked for my money. since i had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.another hour later, i put the second part of the lawyers plan into action. this time both the lawyer and i went to the hotel. i asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, i denied（否认）it. the lawyer said to him, “i saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars. if you dont hand it over immediately, ill be forced to call the police.” the clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill. “i dont know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” i said to the lawyer. and what you suppose he answered? he said, “oh, dont thank me. that will be a hundred dollars, please.”51.the man

children develop language and speech skills, ucla researchers say, listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.the effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone, the researchers found. “adults speaking to children helps language develop, but what matters much more is the interaction，” said the study s lead author, frederick zimmerman, an associate professor in the school of public health at the university of california, los angeles. the researchers also found that tv viewing didn t have much of an effect positively or negatively as long as it wasn t displacing conversations between an adult and a child.the ucla study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. they represented a variety of incomes and education. the researchers found that, in an average day, children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adultchild conversations a day.assessed separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. when looked at alone, tv was negatively associated with language development. but, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“the more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is，” zimmerman said. “although it s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. theyll also tailor their speech to the child. parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they re doing, such as， im putting on your pajamas now. but give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，” she added. “if parents can carve out some conversation time maybe at bath time or at dinner time that s a wonderful thing.”56the researchers also found that tv viewing _.a could have a positive effect on a childs language developmentbhad a little effect on a child s language developmentcaffected a childs language development more negatively than positivelydaffected a childs language development both negatively and positively57frederick zimmerman would probably agree that _.aparents should let their children talk most of the timebchildren should watch tv programs selectivelycthe conversation between parents and children should be two-waydit s no good for parents to correct their children s mistakes when they are speaking58we can conclude from the last paragraph that _.aparents should let a child repeat what he or she saysbbath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a childcparent child conversation can be carried out at any proper timedparents should leave a child talking alone59what would be the best title for the passage?atalk with kids, not at themblet your children voice their own opinionschow to develop a child s language abilitydthe importance of early child language development60the underlined word “tailor” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “_.”acontrol bimprove cpass dadjustda woman from japan was telling a friend about her trip to the united states. the woman had visited major businesses and investment companies in new york city and chicago.“i studied english before i left home,” she said. “but i still was not sure that people were speaking english.”her problem is easy to understand. americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere. they have a language of their own. some of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work. other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.one such saying is “get your act together”. when things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry. he may shout, “stop making mistakes. get your act together.” or, if the employer is calmer, he may say, “let us get our act together.” either way, the meaning is the same. getting your act together is getting organized. in business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action. it is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. but, it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. the director may have said, “calm down, now. get your act together.” word expert james rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s. mister rogers says the manchester guardian newspaper used it in 1978. the newspaper said a reform policy required that the british government get its act together. now, this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet. one company even called its yearly report, “getting our act together.” the japanese visitor was confused by another expression used by american business people. it is cut to the chase. she heard that expression when she attended an important meeting of one company. one official was giving a very long report. it was not very interesting. in fact, some people at the meeting were falling asleep.finally, the president of the company said, “cut to the chase.”cut to the chase means to stop spending so much time on details or unimportant material. hurry and get to the good part.naturally, this saying was started by people who make movies. hollywood movie producers believe that most americans want to see action movies. many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars, or in airplanes or on foot.cut is the directors word for stop. the director means to stop filming, leave out some material, and get to the chase scene now.so, if your employer tells you to cut to the chase, be sure to get to the main point of your story quickly.61. after the woman visited the untied states she might feel that _. a. her english was poor b. its easy to master english c. its difficult to make money d. people there werent very friendly62. in which situation could the words “get your act together” be used? a. a task is completed successfully b.
