A


Throughout history
，
people have been interested in knowing how language first began
，
but no one
knows exactly where or how this happened. However
，
we do know a lot about language
，
the language of
today and also the language of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world
today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English
，
Russian and Spanish are also spoken by
many
millions
of
people.
On
the
other
hand
，
some
languages
in
the
world
have
less
than
one
hundred
speakers.
There are several important families of languages in the world. For example
，
most of the languages of
Europe are in one large family called Indo- European. The original
（最初的）
language of this family was
spoken about 4500 years ago .Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of
the language of 4500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years
ago. In time
，
some even die out completely. About 1000 years ago English was a little-known relative of
German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.

2
If a language has a large number of speakers
，
or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it
is spoken in different areas. That is
，
the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of
dialect
differences.
Chinese
has
been
spoken
for
thousands
of
years
by
many
millions
of
speakers.
The
differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China
cannot understand speakers from other parts.
31. The first paragraph mainly tells us that______.
A.
most people in the world speak Chinese B. there are thousands of languages in today’s world

C .man has much knowledge about languagesD .some people know several languages
32. Most European and Indian languages______.
A. will soon die out completely

B. were once a relative of English
C .are no longer spoken






D. come from the same family
33. The underlined word
“
dialect
”

in the last paragraph means______.
A. a special language spoken by Chinese


B. the sign used by Chinese people in a special area
C.
the difference between the old and today’s Chinese

D. the form of a language used in one part of the country
34. It is considered that the most difficult thing for one to learn to speak Chinese is that______.
A. there are great differences between the dialects of Chinese
B. Chinese and many foreign languages are not of the same family
C. Chinese is a very old language
D. there are great differences between the old Chinese and the present day Chinese

worn out

D
I have been a special education teacher for 17 years and I wish more people would get into special
education
．
The position is very demanding and there is always a shortage of special education teachers
．
It is
not an easy profession to get into. One needs a BA in education and then a special education certificate
（证
书）

such
as
a
certificate
in
learning
disabilities,
emotional
disabilities
or
cross
categories
which
means
covering all the subjects
．
A certified new special educate teacher needs to shadow a current special education
teacher for at least, a year because there is that much to know and practice.
Working with the students is the biggest reward
．
However, the paperwork is huge with

requesting
more year after year
．
If you are good at doing about ten things at the same time, then you may be the right
person for the job. No day is the same. Parent and government expectations are high. A sense of empathy
（
the ability of feeling and sharing another person’s feelings
）

and one hundred percent prepared to help
your students is important. Also, if you are a special education teacher working in the high school, it is your
job to make sure your special education students are able to be employed after they graduate, and then the
special education teacher needs to stay in touch with the special students a year after they graduate to make
sure they are employed and can support themselves. Education is a very political field next to working in
politics. One needs to know what to say, when to say it and make sure it is a benefit for everyone involved. It
is a mixture of knowing medical diagnosis and teaching with that in mind. Your record needs to be perfect,
and
it
would
also
help
to
be
a
very
strong
Christian
（天主教徒）
because
you
will
need
to
pray
often
to
yourself. This position is not about the money but more of a service.
42
．
To become a special teacher, one needs












.



A
．
a MA decree and a certificate




B
．
a degree and three certificates




C
．
a degree and two certificates


D
．
a degree in education and a certificate

When you are hungry, what will you respond? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?


46

But
it
never
lets
you
know,
because
you
keep
it
busy
thinking
about
your
friends
or
favorite
stars.
So
it
silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a
full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “ What happens next?” or “ Why can’t
I
think?”







47


Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used
by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.
When
you
read
a
book,
of
course
you
run
your
eyes
through
the
lines
and
your
mind
tries
to
explain
something to you. 48


Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many
times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of
in your wildest dreams!



This is nothing but creativity.

49


Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or
any other language and never run out of the right words.
So, friends, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading.

50


Go and get a book!

A .The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
B. Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C. Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.
D. Now what are you waiting for?
E .Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading
F. Reading can help you make more friends, too.
G
. Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary

It was already half past seven and I was running late again for the dinner appointment with my wife,
Eleanor. We had

51

to meet at
the restaurant at seven o’clock. I felt a little uneasy, but to my


52

I had
a good excuse: A business meeting had

53

and I’d wasted no time getting to the dinner.





When I arrived at the

54

I apologized and told Eleanor I

didn’t mean to be late.
She screamed,
“You never mean to.” Well,
I

55

tell she was angry. “I’m sorry but it was not

56


.” I said. Then I
told her about the business meeting

57

my explanation seemed to make things worse, which started to
drive

58

mad as well.




Several weeks later, when I

59

the situation to my friend Ken Hardy, he smiled, “You


60
a
classic mistake. You’re stuck


61

your own way of thinking. You didn’t


62

to be late. But that’s not
the point. What is

63

in your communication is how your
lateness affected Eleanor.” He pointed out that
I focused on the intention


64

Eleanor focused on the result. Thus,

65

of us felt misunderstood and
crazy.




Thinking more about Ken’s words, I


66

recognized the root cause of such disagreement. It’s
the
result of the action that really

67

I should have started the conversation by expressing


68


my
actions affected Eleanor and

69

the discussions about my intention for later, much later and even never.
