Language experts, however, will tell you that youre never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need practice to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset(思维模式) helps them embrace(接受) learning a new language without feeling like theyre doing something unusual or “too hard”.So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! Its never too late to learn a new language. If youre older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If youre a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!28By “language is their life”, the author means that children .A. can t live without language B. lead a happy life every dayC. practice a new language a lot D. are taken good care of adults29What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language?A. They are afraid of making mistakes B. They usually have too many interestsC. They think making mistakes is natural D. They always make all kinds of mistakes30Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?A. The behaviors they have B. The learning attitudesC. The future plans they have made D. The materials they are using31According to the author, a new language .A. can never be learned by the old people B. can be grasped by the old people easilyC. can be understood only by the old people D. can be learned by both the old and the youngDRaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didnt soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, hed say in his loudest father-voice, “Thats what your legs are for!” The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled(取消) one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my fathers head. Then I knew, each time Id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery(草木). Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently(故作不知地) in his chair. “So! My son, its you!” hed say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, its me. Im home.”32What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Accepted happily. B. Spoke unhappily.C. Agreed willingly. D. Explained clearly.33What made the author feel upset was _.A. the feeling of being less than valued B. the fear of seeing something movingC. the tiredness after long hours in labs D. the loneliness of riding the bus home34The authors father watched behind the hedge because _.A. he didnt want to meet his son at the doorway B. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he was concerned about his sons safety D. he didnt think his son was old enough to walk alone35Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My College Life. B. My Fathers Secret.C. Terrible Journey Home. D. Riding Bus Alone.2.七选五 How to help children improve the ability to studyChildren often have trouble studying because they havent developed good study habits.
