some use radio or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. if they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. a few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. it is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. however, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. they need the language in order to do their work better. for example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students work for him.56. according to some advertisements, you _. a. neednt pay your money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks b. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks c. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks d. will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks 57. now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to _. a. read the literature of the country b. read books and reports c. go to foreign countries d. do their work better58. learning a foreign language is a hard job _. a. only for scientists and doctors b. only for the students at school c. for most people d. for those people at homeb people in the united states honor their parents with two special days: mothers day, on the second sunday in may, and fathers day, on the third sunday in june. these days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. they raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. they give love and care. these two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. more mothers now work outside the home. more fathers must help with child care.these two special days are celebrated in many different ways. on mothers day people wear carnations. a red one symbolizes a living mother. a white one shows that the mother is dead. many people attend religious services to honor parents. it is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). on these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. they often have outdoor barbecues for fathers day. these are days of fun and good feelings and memories.another tradition is to give cards and gifts. children make them in school. many people make their own presents. these are valued more than the ones bought in stores. it is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.59. which of the following is not a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?a. parents bring up children.b. parents give love and care to children.c. parents pass away before children grow up.d. parents educate children to be good persons.60. what do you think “florists” do?a. they make and sell bread.b. they sell flowers.c. they offer enough room for having family parties.d.they buy some bread.61. what do you know from the passage?a. fewer women worked outside the home in the past.b. mothers day and fathers day are both in may.c. not all the children respect their parents.d. fathers are not as important as mothers at home.62. on mothers day and fathers day, . a. hand-made cards are the most valuable giftsb. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryc. children always go to parents home d. people usually have family partiescmrs. blake teaches english in a large school in the inner area of a big city on the west of coast. even since she was a young girl, she has wanted to become a teacher. she has taught eight years now and hasnt changed her mind.after she graduated from high school, she went on to college. four years later, she received her bachelors degree (b a) in english and her teaching certificate（证书）. then she went to teach in the secondary schools of her state. in the summers, mrs. blake takes more classes;
