17、least attention to in language learning. Most teachers _38_ just let their students speak and stop them _39_ they say something completely wrong. Working on each students pronunciation in class is just _40_. Also, the students who are _41_ at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their
18、classmates if they help _42_ their mistakes.If you believe your pronunciation is good enough to _43_ because it is good enough for your teacher and other students, you may be _44_ when you actually go to a foreign country. One of my friends was the best student in his _45_ class in Poland. When he w
19、ent to America, he found Americans didnt understand _46_ of what he said.Your pronunciation may still be quite _47_ that of a native speaker. If this is the _48_， other people will find it _49_ to understand what youre saying and will not be comfortable with you. _50_， dont think you can communicate
20、 in a foreign language _51_ youve tested your skills on real native speakers. _52_for native or nearnative pronunciation so that people you talk to can communicate with you _53_. In order to achieve this goal, theres _54_ that you will need to start thinking about pronunciation and _55_ time on it.3

We planned to travel to Belgium，N
25、etherlands and West Germany.I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand，during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business cla
26、ss and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt
27、airport，for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable ex
28、perience yet again，with the quality of their service.Being the first airline to take me overseas，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.

32、 States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs，its people are by now almost entirely an urban society . Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业)，and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and largeHere the
33、traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns any moreHalf the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities
34、with their suburbs、of more than a million people eacha larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France)The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each
35、 dayAs the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb.

39、quicklyCBecause the process is gradual DBecause more and more Americans live in metropolitan areasC If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we
40、should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history .Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them .Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a warSometimes t
41、here was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to writeFor example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after themBut we know almost nothing
42、 about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write Sometimes, of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the pastThey have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the m
43、ost important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the pastThis we may call “remembered history”Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，beca

We have both
66、achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure. Some fall in low spirits when they dont do well in the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study as before. But most students take an active attitude toward failure. They encourage themselves
67、 to be self-confident. They try to find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes. They often turn to their teachers, classmates or friends for advice. I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.
