I live in India and Indian is my mother language. I am a scientist. I learned English very well and now I want to share my experience with other people.
I had my first contact with English when I was six. My dad loved listening to the Beatles（披头士）and he encouraged me to listen to the band. I listened to them every day for the following seven years. In the beginning, I could not understand nothing. But soon I started to understand some words. Later I got a book with the words of all the songs. I read the book many times. I learned many songs by heart. It became my dream to learn English well so that I could understand the Beatles. Today, I can understand the Beatles very clearly. Each time I hear a Beatles song, I am happy and proud.
When I was 13 years old, I started reading science books. I could only read in Indian. But more books were all English. I could not read them because I did not know English so well. I felt that the books in English would be even more interesting and more exciting.
When I met every new English word, I felt it was close to my goal, it could improve my reading ability. Finally I could read my first whole book in English. That moment was exciting. I knew I got into a new world. When I read in English, I had not only the pleasure of reading, but also the pleasure of using English and learning English. For the last four years I have read books only in English.
Now I study science. I discover that my knowledge of English is very important for my learning science. Without English I would be limited to the few books which are in Indian, and there are really few.

Bangladesh (孟加拉) is an agricultural country between India and Burma (缅甸). Storms from the Indian Ocean sweep across the country every year, and large areas of farming land are flooded (冲毁). The people are very poor.
Fewer than half of the country's children complete their primary education. When they are six or seven years old, many children leave school to work in the fields or at home. The rest of their “education” consists of looking after cattle, collecting firewood or doing household jobs.
Not long ago, an experimental school was opened near the capital, Dacca, to help poor children. There are only 120 children in the school, which has three classrooms. In each class, forty pupils are divided into four groups of ten. Each pupil is free to decide which group he or she wants to join.
The most able pupils do a great deal of the teaching. They act as group monitors. Their duty is to ensure that all pupils in their group understand and practise what the teacher has taught.
There are a number of unusual features in the Bangladesh school. Children do not move up a class automatically when they grow older. Each group is promoted (升级) only when EVERY pupil in it has succeeded in getting to the right standard. As a result, all members of a group work hard to help the less able pupils. Nobody is left behind.
Lessons are extremely practical and include work on farming, carpentry, health and running a home, as well as lessons on the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. At school, pupils prepare for adult life by learning to carry out almost all the tasks which they will face when they grow older.
Children enjoy their lessons and the school is cheap to run. It is so successful that other schools in Bangladesh are beginning to imitate (模仿) its methods. Visitors are even coming from other agricultural countries to see if they can use a similar method.
1.According to the writer, which pupils will most probably become group monitors?
A.The oldest ones. B.The fattest ones.
C.The tallest ones. D.The most able ones.
2.What does the underlined sentence in the passage show?
A.Every member of a group works hard to move to a higher class.
B.At the end of each school year, all the pupils move to a higher class.
C.Children move to a higher class automatically when they grow older.
D.Each group will move to a higher class only if each pupil can get to the right standard.
3.From the passage, we know that ________.
A.Bangladesh is an industrial country
B.many people in Bangladesh work on farms
C.pupils hardly learn anything needed in adult life at school
D.most of the country's children complete their primary education
4.The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A.help people know more about Bangladesh
B.introduce Bangladesh's poor education
C.encourage pupils in Bangladesh to work hard
D.teach other schools in Bangladesh how to imitate the experimental school
