In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever(无论何时) we can.
1.The most important things to learn a foreign language are_______.
A．understanding and speaking
B．hearing, speaking, reading and writing
C．writing and understanding
D．memorizing and listening
2.Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This is because____.
A．he doesn’t understand the language when he hears it spoken
B．he doesn’t have a good memory
C．he always remember lists of words and their meanings
D．he often hesitates to practise speaking it
3.One can never learn a foreign language well only by_______.
A．much practice B．studying the dictionary
C．learning through use D．using the language
4.Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?
A．A good memory. B．Speaking and writing.
C．Practice. D．Writing.
5.“Learn through use” means_______.
A．we use a language in order to learn it
B．we learn a foreign language in order to use it
C．we can learn a language well while we are using it
D．both B and C

I want to let you know about an event that changed my life many years ago. We were living in College Station, Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston, Texas one Sunday morning. We decided to stop at a local gas station to get something to eat since we had enough time.
When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as if he didn’t have any money. It was cold and I was sure he wanted something to drink. However, it was not this that moved(感动) me.
A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog lover, I noticed that the dog was a mother and that she had just had some puppies(小狗). She was hungry and weak and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her puppies would not live on.
People walking by didn’t even notice her. She might not have been as pretty and clean as most, but she still deserved(值得) better. But we still did not do anything, someone else did. The homeless man, who I thought could not afford anything to eat, went back into a store and bought dog food with all the money he had.
I know that this story isn’t as inspirational as most stories, but it plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother’s Day weekend. And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.

A．had pity on the dog that was in danger
B．bought dog food with all the money he had
