Some people seem to have a talent for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar and learn to write in the new language 31 quickly than others. Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover 32 of the techniques 33 make language learning easier for them.

When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn and think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

Protecting the environment is basic public consciousness in the U.S. Street cleaners benefit from this consciousness; often, they needn't clean up the "battle field" after a big assembly.
I was in Washington D.C. over Independence Day and thousands of people went to see the parade in the early morning. That day must have been one of the hottest in Washington. Street vendors were doing a brisk business in drink sales. Almost everyone held a bottle of Coke or some ice cream. After the parade ended and people left, I couldn't find any empty cans or wrappers. People left only their footprints.
In Washington, aside from the buildings and roads, almost every inch of land is covered with the lush lawn. You can step on the lawns, too. There are even signs which say "You are welcome to sit here." So people do lots of things on the lawns, such as walking, playing ball, holding parties, and so forth. These lawns have become important places in the daily lives of Americans. Even though you can run, jump, sit, lie or even roll on the grass, you can't pollute it with litter.
What would happen if someone were to drop litter in a public place? "It would stir public anger and denouncement," Sonia said, "People would look at you strangely as if you were an alien from outer space." At the same time, someone would quietly pick it up for you. Who wouldn't be embarrassed by such a scene?

A. Because they can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
B. Because they often needn't clean up the rubbish after a big assembly.

Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he had been as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume.
Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not a pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or pushed you with their elbows(肘部), hurrying ahead to get a bargain.
Jane paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant tried to attract her. "Worth double the price." But Jane knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes on sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him.
When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already having supper at the table. Her mother was excited. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," Jane was informed.

The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview. There are two kinds. One is the familiar "tombstone" that lists where you went to school and where you've worked in chronological order. The other is what I call the "functional" resume—descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview.
It's handy to have a "tombstone" for certain occasions. But prospective employers throw away most of those unrequested "tombstone" lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead.
What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read—a resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers.
Put yourself first:
In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself.
Sell what you can do, not who you are:
Practice translating your personality traits, character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas. There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work.
Toot your own horn!
Many people hesitate when asked to think about their abilities. Some think they have none at all! But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket an employer would be glad to punch-if only you showed it.
Be specific, be concrete and be brief!
Remember that "brevity is the best policy."
Turn bad news into good:
Everybody has had disappointments in work. If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side.
Never apologize:
If you're returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph (summary of your background) in place of a chronology of experiences. Don't apologize for working at being a mother; it's the hardest job of all. If you have no special training or higher education, just don't mention education.
51、 A functional resume can be described as the following EXCEPT ______.
A. fun to read B. unique C. figurative D. descriptive

Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States. Almost one-third of American children are overweight. Officials say the rate has tripled in teenagers and doubled in younger children since 1980.
Many American children and teenagers eat unhealthy foods that are high in fat and sugar. They eat many meals at fast-food restaurants. They eat too many snacks between meals. They drink too many sugary drinks. And they do not exercise enough.
In February, the First Lady Michelle Obama started a campaign to fight childhood obesity. Her campaign is called "Let's Move". It aims to teach children about better nutrition and the importance of exercise.
Mrs. Obama says thirty million American children get the majority of their calories from foods they eat at school. The Obama administration is proposing to spend ten billion dollars over the next ten years setting nutrition rules for schools.
Obesity is linked to many diseases, including diabetes. Treatments for these diseases cost the United States almost 150 billion dollars every year. Doctors say eating right and exercising should begin at a young age so that children will not grow into obese adults.
Last spring, Michelle Obama and a group of students planted a vegetable garden on the South Lawn of the White House. Local students have been planting seeds, harvesting vegetables and learning about health and nutrition.
The organic garden provides food for the First Family's meals and feeds hungry people in Washington. But Michelle Obama said the most important goal is to educate children about healthful, locally grown fruits and vegetables. In turn, the children will educate their families and communities.
Mrs. Obama says her idea is not to ban fun foods from a child's life. But she wants to balance hamburgers and French fries with fresh fruits and vegetables.
56、 What is a serious problem in the United States?______
A. Childhood overweight. B. American obesity.
C. Teenagers' health. D. Unhealthy food.
57、 Why are many children and teenagers in the US overweight?______
A. Because they never exercise.
B. Because they often overeat.
C. Because they sleep late at night.
D. Because they eat unhealthy foods high in sugar and fat.
58、 What is the Obama administration proposing to do?______
A. To limit sugar in food.
B. To set nutrition rules for schools.
C. To strengthen nutrition education.
D. To add sports facilities.
59、 Which of the following statements is TRUE?______
A. The rate of overweight teenagers is lower than that of younger children.
B. The campaign started by the First Lady Michelle Obama is to fight childhood diseases.
C. Eating right and exercising at a young age can help reduce obese adults in the future.
D. The organic garden provides food only for the First Family's meals.

Bhutan was a poor country. People died at a young age. Most of its people could not read, and they did not know much about the outside world. Then, in 1972, a new ruler named King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern, but without losing its traditions.
King Wangchuck looked at other countries for ideas. He saw that most countries measured their progress by their gross national product (GNP). The GNP measures products and money. When the number of products sold increases, people say the country is making progress. King Wangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan. He wanted to measure his country's progress by people's happiness. If people's happiness increased, the king could say that Bhutan was making progress. To decide if people were happier, he created a measure called gross national happiness (GNH).
GNH is based on certain principles that create happiness. People are happier if they have health care, education and jobs. They are happier when they live in a healthy, protected environment. They are happier when they can keep their traditional culture and customs. Finally, people are happier when they have a good, stable government.
Now there is some evidence of increased GNH in Bhutan. People are healthier and are living longer. More people are educated and employed. Twenty-five percent of the land has become national parks, and the country has almost no pollution. The Bhutanese continue to wear their traditional clothing and follow their ancient Buddhist customs. Bhutan has also become a democracy. In 2008, King Wangchuck gave his power to his son. Although the country still had a king, it held its first democratic election that year. Bhutan had political parties and political candidates for the first time. Finally, Bhutan has connected to the rest of the world through television and the Internet.
Bhutan is a symbol for social progress. Many countries are now interested in Bhutan's GNH. These countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness. They want to create new policies that take care of their people, cultures and land.
61、 The passage is mainly about ______.
A. Bhutan's traditions B. the measure of Bhutanese happiness
C. Bhutan's modernization D. a new measure of Bhutan's progress
62、 What was Bhutan like in the past?______
A. It was rich and modern. B. It was poor and closed.
C. It was strong and open. D. It was closely connected with the world.
63、 How did King Wangchuck measure Bhutan's progress?______
A. By people's health. B. By the number of products sold.
C. By people's happiness. D. By people's progress.
64、 According to GNH, people are happier if they ______.
A. have a good stable government B. have new technology
C. can change their religion D. have more money
65、 Apart from modernizing Bhutan, what else did Wangchuck want to do for Bhutan?______
A. To keep its traditions and customs. B. To make its population grow.
C. To keep it separate from the world. D. To encourage its people to get rich.
