There are three basic questions.The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?”This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or the song with your friends, and guess the meanings of the new words. Just enjoy yourself!The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, “Our school has a foreign teacher. But Im shy and cant speak to her. What should I do?”When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver, from Anhui wrote, “I want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day.

Spaulding came into the office 8 weeks ago, with this paper in his hand, and he said: “I wish, Mr. Wilson, that I was a red-headed man.”“Why?” I said.“Because,” he said, “theres another vacancy1 at the League of Red-Headed Men. Its worth a fortune to2 the man who gets it, and I understand that there are more vacancies than there are men.”“Why? What is this League? I asked. You see, Mr. Holmes, I am a very stay-at-home. My business comes to me and I am often weeks on end without putting my foot over the door-mat. So I dont know what is going on outside, and I am always happy to hear some news.”“Have you never heard of the League of Red-headed Men?” he asked with his eyes open. “Never.”“Why? That is strange, for you are eligible3 for one of the vacancies.” “And what are they?” I asked.“Oh, each vacancy pays a couple of hundred pounds a year. But there is little work to do.” “Well, you can be sure that I was interested. My business was not very successful, and I liked the thought of an extra couple of hundred pounds.” “Tell me all about it.” I said.“Well,” he said, showing me the advertisement, “you can see yourself that the League has a vacancy. Here is the address where you can apply for details. The League was founded by an American millionaire, Ezekiah Hopkins, who was very strange in his ways. He was red-headed, and he had a great sympathy for4 all red-headed men. So, when he died, he left his money to a group of trustees, with instructions to give the money to men with red hair. It is good pay and there is very little to do.”“But,” I said, “there are millions of red-headed men who can apply.”“Not as many as you think,” he answered. “You see it only for Londoners, and grown men. This American came from London, and he wanted to do something good for the old town. And ,I have heard, you cant apply if your hair is light red, or dark red, or anything but real bright, blazing fiery red. Your hair is perfect, Mr. Wilson, if you want to apply. But perhaps its not worth your while applying for just a couple of hundred pounds. ”-Taken from the Red-Headed League (Vocabulary: 1. vacancy空缺，空职; 2 .Its worth a fortune to值很大一笔钱；3. eligible 合乎条件的；4. had a great sympathy for 同情)49 . Why does Ezekiah Hopkins start the Red-Headed League?ABecause he had little work to do every day.BBecause he had too much money and didnt know what to do with it.CBecause the harder he worked, the greater progress he made.DBecause he had great sympathy for all red-headed men.50 . What dont you need before you join the league ?ATo be an adultBTo be from LondonCTo have enough moneyDTo have bright red hair51 . Which of the following sentences is right ?AA millionaire for the UK founded the Red-Headed League.BThe vacancy pays hundreds of pounds but theres a little work to do.CEzekiah Hopkins left his money to anyone who could join the league.DSpaulding knew what happened outside though he stayed at home all day long.52 . The last paragraph(段落) mainly tells us .Aanyone who apply for the vacancy can get several hundred poundsBwho can become a member of the Red-Headed LeagueCsomeone with red hair can apply for the vacancyDwhat the people (who apply for the vacancy) should do before applying五、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及汉语提示写出单词53 .
