He didnt give much attention to where he was going. Pretty soon he realized that he was lost, but he continued to drive, expecting to find his way or to meet someone who could tell him how to get back to the town.It was a long lonely road, for many hours he kept on driving. When it was almost dark, he saw a farmer ploughing the land He stopped and called out, “Hello, farmer,” “Hello yourself,” the farmer replied, still ploughing. “Where does this road go?” “I havent ever seen it go anywhere, it always stays right where it is.” said the farmer, without stopping his work. “How far is it to the next town?” said the driver, speaking a little louder.“Dont know, never measured it.” replied the farmer.By this time the city man was getting angry. “What do you know? You are the biggest fool I have ever seen. ”The farmer stopped ploughing and looked for a long time at the city man. Then he said scornfully(轻蔑地）, “ Maybe I dont know much, perhaps I am a fool. But at least I am not.”41. The city man was driving along the country road to_.A. a town B. a city C. a field D. an unknown place42. Very soon he found that_.

There are new words, new sounds, and new pronunciation. But there is more to learning a language than simply being able to communicate. Language is an important part of culture, and becoming familiar with the culture as well as the language can make the learning experience much more enjoyable.Before I went to university, I had very little knowledge of China or the language. Therefore, when I started learning to speak Chinese, it was important for me to learn about Chinas history and culture. This taught me much more about Chinese and the history about Chinese and the history of the language. Chinas culture is very different from my own and by learning the culture and language, I felt I had a better understanding.If you have some knowledge about the society you will have a much easier time communicating with its people. Learning a language is very complex, and it is wrong to focus only on the language itself. It helps to add information from the culture and society to make the learning process easier.It will also be much more fun to learn about culture when you study a new language. Culture can teach you so many things about a language. It can give you background information about the language and tell you the history of the language. It leads to a great overall understanding of why the language is the way it is.Whenever I try to learn a new language, I enjoy knowing information about the culture as well. Its a challenge to dig deeper for more information, but it is very rewarding!45. This passage mainly tells us A. The importance of learning a new language.B.

All of the above.CThe pen is more powerful than the sword. There have been many writers who are use their pens to writer things that were wrong.

The students, mostly from majors such as business management or international trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so. Training costs have dropped to 2,600 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a drivers permit has another factor.“In the job market, owing a drivers permit sometimes strengthens a graduating students competitiveness for good position.” says Zhou Yang, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law.Cars will become a necessary part of many peoples lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a permit after graduation because of the pressures on working peoples time. “Having a fulltime job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of opportunity to learn. ”Zhou says.
