When he got into a taxi on Chang an Avenue, the driver greeted him and asked where he would like to go in English. “This couldnt be imagined eight years ago when I first visited Beijing,” said Selmer. Selmer wouldnt have been so surprised, had he known so many people are learning English in this Olympic city.Eight years ago Beijing failed in its bid for the 2000 Games. One of the reasons was that foreigners found it hard to communicate with Beijing residents (居民), most of whom speak only Chinese. This time, the city is working to improve communication. One great change has happened during Beijings preparations ,BOBICO officials are speaking directly in English instead of using interpreter（口译人员）as they did eight years ago.In addition to BOBICO officials, Beijing residents are looking forward to the 2008 Games by actively learning the foreign languages. Residents are free taught useful expressions, greetings, how to give directions and how to introduce themselves.Shop assistants, bus and taxi drivers and even policemen are learning English. The young taxi driver who surprised the German visitor is probably one of these learners.The first-stage aim of the “Beijing residents English Speaking Plan” started by the city government in August is to popularize English among government staff, taxi drivers, hotel staff and shop assistants. In five years the percentage of Beijing residents who can speak English will be raised to around 30 percent from the present 15 percent.56.Why was Albert Selmer surprised when he got into the taxi?A.

To play jack, youll need a small rubber ball ten small metal objects: jacks. The rules for this game are very simple. To begin, you put the ten jacks on the floor or ground in front of you. Throw the ball up, pick up one jack and then catch the ball. Keep the jack in your hand and then continue to pick up the other jacks one at a time. You lose your turn if you do not catch the ball, or if you do not pick up a jack or you drop any jacks from your hands.When you finish all ten jacks, you now try to do the same thing again but with two jacks at a time. This is more difficult, of course.

In those days, men and women worked in groups to build a house or harvest crops. When the work was done, they usually danced merrily and happily in a store or in a farm kitchen.A square is formed by four couples who stand facing the center of the square. Each couple stands on one side of the square with the boy on the left and the girl on the right.Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time. Sometimes 800 or1000 people may be dancing at the same time. Or there may be one square of eight people.Costumes are worn by those who do the square-dance. This makes the dancing more colorful to watch. Women often wear full skirts of different colors with a pretty blouse. Men may have colored shirts and western trousers they wear only when they are square-dancing. In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes.Today in all parts of the U.S., you will find some schools, clubs, or other groups that are square-dancing for fun.64.

An elephant herd(群)usually has from twenty to forty members. The elephants in the herd depend on one another for help in time of trouble.The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female. She travels at the head of the herd and is followed by the other females and their young .The bull elephants follow last. When danger threatens, the bulls form a circle around the weaker animals and guard themThe members of the herd are loyal to one another. A sick or wounded elephant is not left behind to die. If an elephant is sick, the whole herd stops traveling until it gets well. When an elephant is injured, two others walk on both sides of it and support it with their bodies. A member of the herd may be caught in a trap. Then the others try to free it.Elephants are fond of the Youngsters in the group and give them special care. They help young animals stay afloat(漂浮着)when the herd crosses a river .They work together to rescue a calf that wandered into a dangerous place.A female elephant that is about to give birth to her young leaves the herd for a short time. However, she takes another female along to act as “aunt”. The aunt stands guard and helps the mother with her new-born calf. In this way, the whole herd protects its newest member.68.

He keeps his knife and fork his hands until he finishes eating.But an American, on the opposite, may use just one hand whenever possible and keep the other hand on his lap. He uses the fork in his right hand to pick up fried potatoes. When he has to cut his meat, he changes his fork to the left hand and cuts it. Then he puts down the knife and changes his fork to his right hand to pick up the sliced meat. Then, perhaps, he will suddenly think of his coffee or orange. So he has to put down his fork in order to drink his coffee or orange. Now you can see, an American is busy all the time at the dinner table. By the way, Europeans usually have their coffee after meals, but many Americans prefer to have coffee during the meal.If you are present at a formal dinner, you might be confused to find so many forks, knives and spoons put before you. You might be at a loss to know what to do with them. Dont worry. The rule is simple. You just use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from outside towards the plate. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad. The spoon on the outside on the right is for soup. There is another little knife, called a butter spreader, on a bread-and-butter plate on the left. As the bread is passed, each guest helps himself and puts his pieces on the small plate. Next to the soup there will probably be the blunt knife for fish, which is smaller and blunter than other knives.71. When d
