The more time you spend with the
18、language, the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out of the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the lan
19、guage works. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and
20、reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.Build up your vocabulary, and youll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Re
21、ad online, use online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading
22、.If you do not want to learn the language, you wont. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, n
23、or to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. A teacher cannot teach you to become fluent, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to.Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improv
24、ing. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. So sit back and enjoy. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.36. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The impo

The moment we learn a language, we must make it clear at once.BWhats the furthest you have ever cycled? Perhaps you cycle to school or
29、to work, or maybe at most a short cycling trip with friends. How would you feel about spending months on the road traveling alone from the UK to China by bike?For British cyclist Pete Jones, camping outside and cycling long distances are his second nature. As an old hand of expeditions (远征) through
30、places such as the Tianshan mountains and the Tibetan Plateau, Mr. Jones is now undertaking a long trip across the Eurasian (欧亚的) continent from Britain to China. Having lived on and off in Xinjiang for three years, and having visited the country many times since 1992, Pete Jones is no stranger to C
31、hina. But he says many people there are puzzled by his passion for cycling, asking why he would choose to cycle when he can afford a car. Indeed, while therere some 400 million bicycles in China, where it has long been the preferred form of transport, fast economic growth has fuelled an explosive ex
32、pansion in car ownership.Edward Genochio, another British cyclist who completed a 41,000 km trip to China and back, said one of his aims was to promote cycling as a safe, sustainable and environment-friendly means of getting about.In the UK, the last few years have seen a rise in the number of peopl
33、e choosing two wheels over four, and the number of people cycling to work has almost doubled in the last five years.

38、e introduction of positive discipline in schools means that teachers will not use violence as punishments for students who make mistakes, according to Dinh Thi Loi, a teacher of Xuan Thu Primary School in Soc Son District of Ha Noi.“We do not scold students or use violence to punish them as we did i
39、n the past for what they do wrong,” Loi said. Instead, teachers are trying to understand the psychology of each student and adopt the appropriate attitude so that students can improve their behavior without being punished.For example, when students talk in class, teachers are not shouting or making
40、a pupil feel embarrassed by insulting them in front of their friends, but instead asking them to stand up and think about the reason why they should be silent. After a short period of time, the teacher will then talk to them again, adopting a softer tone in order for students to see their mistakes a
41、nd be keen not to repeat them.The Ministry of Education and Training and Plan Organization co-organized the project, entitled “Protecting childrenStrengthening positive discipline method”, from 2009 to 2011 in 110 primary schools in six provinces and Ha Noi.Within the project, teachers are provided

47、biggest market for traditional medicines made from tiger partshas banned sales for 17 years as part of a global effort to save the animal from extinction.But it has come under great pressure from tame (经驯养的) tiger farmers to re-open the profitable business. Wang Wei, deputy director of the Departmen
48、t of Wildlife Conservation of the State Forestry Ministration, said a change of policy is unavoidable. “The issue is open for review,” he told the state-run China Daily newspaper. “The ban wont be there forever, given the strong voices from tiger farmers, experts and society.”Chinas population of wi
49、ld tigers has almost been wiped out, with only 50 left in the north-east of the country. But commercial farmers have raised about 5,000 on the farm. Each year, about 1,000 tigers are born. At present the valuable bodies and bones cannot be legally sold so they are kept in freezers after the animals
50、die. Several huge farms face ruin because they have speed-raised thousands of tigers, which are worthless until the ban is lifted. Mr. Wang argued this was an unnecessary economic loss and said, “It will be a waste if the resources of dead tigers are not used in traditional medicine.” He said some o
51、f the captive population could be reintroduced to the wild. But there is no successful case of this happening in China. Farm-raised tigers cannot survive in forests and jungles because they are too tame.Any shift in Chinas policy would cause international reactions. Despite promises that captive-bre
52、d tigers would be tagged to distinguish them from wild animals, environmentalists fear that any re-opening of the market would advance poaching. At a meeting in Hague last week, John Sellar, senior enforcement officer at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, criticized the far
