Learning a language is a long and difficult process. This process can become easier if you set goals (目标). However, if your goals are too dfficult, you will probably become upset.
Many English learners set unreasonable goals, such as sounding like a native speaker (母语使用者), or losing their accents (口音 ). The goal of sounding like a native speaker is not easy for many people.
When English learners begin studying English after a certain age, they are not able to sound exactly like a native speaker. That’s the opinion of Eli Hinkel, a professor at Seattle Pacific University. She says that people who have not reached puberty (青春期) still have enough muscle (肌肉) and brain plasticity (可塑性)to allow their brain to control their mouth muscles. After your physical growth has stopped, the brain loses some of its ability to change the way it controls the muscles of the mouth. This is what results in an accent, according to Hinkel.
Having an accent does not mean that your language skills are poor or you should give up improving your pronunciation. Hinkel suggests English learners should not be too upset about their accents.
Another teacher says sounding like a native speaker is not necessary. Marla Yoshida is a teacher at the University of California, Irvine. She says that improving your pronunciation is surely possible—if you choose a reasonable goal. Marla Yoshida says that when you decide to diet, you may succeed if you set reasonable goals. She suggests working on certain areas of pronunciation that you can improve, instead of trying to sound like a native speaker.
1.What does the underlined part“unreasonable goals”probably refer to？
A. Goals that are meaningless. B. Goals that are too small.
C. Goals that are interesting D. Goals that are impossible to reach.
2.Why are English learners unable to sound like a native speaker?
A. They have no native speakers to talk to. B. They don’t have enough time to practice.
C. Their brain can’t control their mouth muscles. D. Their mother language stops them from doing so.
3.Which of the following statements would Eli Hinkel probably agree with?
A. Having an accent is acceptable B. Improving pronunciation isn’t that important.
C. Sounding like a native speaker is impossible. D. Poor pronunciation means poor language skills.
4.What does the passage mainly want to show?
A. Learning English well isn’t as easy as we think.
B. We should try our best to sound like a native speaker
C. Everyone can learn English well if he/she tries hard.
D. We can improve our pronunciation by setting reasonable goals.

Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can be easy if you don’t want or need to learn too much.
The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like running. Even if you run twice a week, you don’t necessarily want to be able to run a marathon (马拉松). You might just want to keep a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning.
Let’s get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the country, you know that you will be sure to do this. However, if you decide to talk to people with great fluency (流利), unless you are quite a talented person, you will probably fail and give up in half-way.
It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will not be able to move further because of grammar, making sentences, learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and sentences, you will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won’t have to spend too much time.
The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn’t the usual way to language learning, but it can be a very meaningful and enjoyable activity.
1.In the writer’s opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _______.
A．they are especially talented people
B．they don’t want or need to learn too much
C．they have to spend a lot of time on it
D．they have a chance to go abroad
2.The writer believes that if you want to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _______.
A．forget your own goals
B．become a talented language learner
C．get tired of learning it
D．reach your learning goal
3.The best title of this passage would be _______.
A．Easy Language Learning B．Hard Language Learning
C．Fluency in a Foreign Language D．A way of Language Learning
