What is the best way to learn a language? We should remember that we learned our own language well when we were children. If we would learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem(似乎) so difficult(难). Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say and tries to imitate(模仿) what he hears. When he wants something, he has to ask for it. He is using the language, talking in it and thinking in it all the time. If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly.
We learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, though(虽然) you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all the new words through(通过) the ear. You can read them, spell them and write them later.

A. is a child B. was a child C. was a man D. is five

Do you wonder why your classmates always get higher marks than you? If you think it is because they are cleverer than you, you are wrong, according to American writers Wood Smethurst and William Luckie.
In their book Study Power, they say that successful students are not cleverer than others, they just know the best way to study for exams.
“The best way is to study actively.” Said the writers.
To study actively, you must ask yourself questions as you work. If you are studying Mao Zedong, for example, you can ask yourself to write down everything good that he did for China.
Asking yourself questions like that will help you think better and faster. It’ll also help you remember information during exams.
The writers say students should think of questions as “fishing hooks(鱼钩)”. Questions “hook” onto your memory and help you do better in exams.
To study better you also need to make the best use of your time. When you study, the writers say, only do so for 20 minutes at a time! If you study for longer, you will start thinking about other things and not learn anything.
( )56. The passage mainly tells us .
A. the cleverer students study well
B. a student’s study power
C. to pay close attention to the ways of studying
D. to have patience both in studying and in exams
( )57. The reading has shown us ways to study.
A. three B. four C. five D. six
( )58. In studying, we should often ask “why” so as to .
A. write down the questions
B. look up the new words in the dictionary
C. get some questions to ask our teachers
D. understand the questions better and faster
( )59. The underlined phrase “follow their tips” means .
A. take their advice B. follow their steps
C. do as they do D. do as you like
( )60.－Why do your classmates get higher marks than you?
－ Because .
A. they are cleverer than me B. they can study actively
C. they like studying D. both A and B
