You should always be full of confidence or you 17 be able to improve your English. You should often encourage yourself, “Come on, dont be afraid!” You should never lose heart and never give up. Maybe you are afraid of losing face, but you should think since we are students and were 18 , theres no need to worry 19 anything. You must always be active in practice. Theres no problem that your pronunciation and intonation cant be as good 20 the native people because we are Chinese, and we dont have chances to live in foreign countries and talk with the people there 21 . But you must know that the main way to study English is to make ourselves understood and 22 other people. You should believe that native speakers will not laugh at you, 23 they will encourage you.

With the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talk with people, play chess, recognize voices, translate languages and so on.

Try to understand the exact meaning of each question before you pick up your pen to write. When you have at last finished your exam, read over your answers, and correct the mistakes which you see and make sure that you have not missed anything out.根据短文内容判断句子正（T）误（F）。( )36.

One was English, one Turkish, one Greek, one was an Arab and one was Persian. One day they met and decided to stay together, sharing what they had and helping each other in trouble times.Soon a man passed them in the street and gave them a coin. They talked about what to do with it. At last they decided to buy something to eat.“Lets buy some grapes!” said the Englishman. But the Turkish wanted “uzum”, the Arab “aneb”, the Greek “stafelea”, and the Persian insisted on(坚持) “angur”. They did not understand each others language very well. Soon they were quarrelling and even fighting.While they were fighting about how to spend the money, a stranger came along. He knew all the five languages. He asked them why they were fighting. After they told him, he said, “Give me your coin. I will buy what you want.”He was soon back with a bunch of grapes. Each beggar was happy, as each had what he had wanted.
