III.短文理解 (短文念两遍)
(A)
A 50-year-old American officer came back to his school. The teachers asked him to give a talk to the small boys and girls there. The talk was about the love of the great country. All the children were sitting in a large meeting-room. The old officer went up and began speaking. He said, “ Boys and girls, I studied in the school when I was ten years old just like you. We were not as happy as you are today. Think about it and answer me why you are so happy now.”
No sound came from the children. The old man waited for a long time. Then a boy in the front put up his small hand. “ Good boy! Please answer me., dear, “ said the officer.
With a big smile on his face, the boy stood up and said,” If you speak long enough, we won’t have math and science lessons this morning.”
(B)
One should first do more speaking in learning a foreign language. It is the groundwork of reading and writing. You’d better try your best to speak. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. While you are doing this, a good exercise is ti write—keep a diary, write letters and so on. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write. Through correcting the mistakes, you can do better in learning a language.
If you are slow in speaking, don’t worry. One of the helpful ways is by reading. The important thing is to choose something interesting to read. It mustn’t be too difficult for you. When you are reading in this way, don’t stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings or if they are not important to the sentence.
