My heart was beating fast and I really wanted to tell my _____to turn around, but we were entering the gate and I knew it was too late. I was going to be dropped off and _____ by myself at the age of nine for a whole week. At the gate to Skogfjorden, people started talking to me in Norwegian(挪威语). What had I gotten myself into? I couldn't understand any other _____but English. We then went through the welcome stations where I picked a new name and had my bags checked. Next, I was sent to my room. I was upset all the time, wondering _____ I really could survive the whole week. Mom helped me unpack and organize my stuff, but then she had to leave. I was terrified to tears. But by the time I got back to my room where my roommate, Bob, was waiting for me with a smiling face, my eyes were______.

I was so scared the first night that I had to call Mom,______she insisted I should learn to be independent. Right when I was feeling helpless, Bob's mom called and her words comforted me, “Isn't it ______ to know a bunch of kids of your age?” So it was! Leaving home meant I could connect with the rest of the world, know new people and explore new things. With this thought, the ______ began. Communicating in every way I could, I even found it ______ to get along with others. What's more, I learned a lot of Norwegian in only five days and grew to ______ this place. When my mom came to get me, I was excited to ______ her around all my favorite places. After the closing ceremony, I was so ______ to leave Skogfjorden and my new friends that I burst into tears again. I knew that I had to _________ the next summer—I was hooked(着迷的).

Now, having been to Skogfjorden eight summers in a row, I cannot wait to ______ my little brothers to camp this summer.

Sing the Language You're Learning

How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.

Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.

“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way，” said Dr. Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulty learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Ludke writes, “A listenandrepeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and open the door for future research in this area.”

Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D. C., depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids.”

“Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak much better English than now，” Hua Zhuying adds.

Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you're still struggling in learning a language, why not try singing it out?

1.According to the passage, the best way to remember a foreign language is to________.

I still remember quite clearly the day when my parents got divorced(离婚). Dad kissed me goodbye and left.

For a long time Mum and I lived a peaceful life. Then one day, Jim came over for lunch wearing a blue suit with a short brown tie and a green shirt. I couldn't believe this was going to be my new stepfather. It couldn't be true that my beautiful mother would marry someone who dressed like a clown(小丑). I hated him.

Lunch was terrible. Mother kept trying to start a conversation, but neither Jim nor I would say much. Finally I offered to bring in the dessert just to get away from the clown.

Something unpleasant happened, but I didn’t mean(故意)to do it. I guess the plate slipped. But one minute I was handing Jim his blackberry pie, and the next, dark purple berries were oozing(渗出) all over his shirt and tie.

I was mortified. My face turned bright red. Jim looked very much surprised at first, but then he began to laugh. I started to laugh too. Maybe this guy was all right, after all. Then I had a quick look at my mother. She looked happier than I had seen her in a long time.

1.The writer thinks Jim's clothes look_____________.

A. nice B. expensive C. usual D. funny
