How do you improve your spelling?1.Just as we learn spoken language by hearing lots of people speaking, we learn written language, including spelling, by reading what a lot of people write. Spelling is not about how a word sound, it’s about how it looks on the page, which means you have to look at a lot of words on the page to learn the correct spelling about it.

Make a list of your commonly misspelled words.2.When you get a chance, look it up and put the correct spelling next to it.

3. If you look it up more than once, add it to your personal list.

Write! Write! Write! 4.When you look it up how to spell a word, write it down several times in a row and do it again a day or two later. 5.Write a blog, a journal, e-mails, a novel, anything that will keep you using words and pay special attention as you write to the words that come up wrong.

A. There is no substitute(代替) for reading a lot.

B. Put a mark next to every word you look up in the dictionary.

C. Those of us who spell well have a hard time explaining it, too.

D. Let others read your writings, and ask them to circle misspelled words.

E. You’re trying to build up the motor memory of writing it correctly spelled.

F. The only way to really learn a word is to use it, and that counts for spelling as much as for learning its meaning.

G. When you catch yourself spelling the same word wrong over and over, write it down somewhere.

How to Improve Your English

Define your learning objectives early: what do you want to learn and why? Make learning a habit. 1. It is much better to study (or read, or listen to English news, and so on) for 10 minutes each day than to study for 2 hours once a week.

Choose your materials well. You will need reading, grammar, writing, speaking and listening materials—beginners can use a basic­level English guide, and then move on to an advanced­level English guide. 2. It will make learning more enjoyable—thus more effective.

Vary your learning routine. It is best to do different things each day to help keep the various relationships between each area active. 3.

4. Learning English together can be very encouraging. You can find friends to speak English on the Internet.

Relate grammar to practical usage. Grammar by itself does not help you use the language. You should practice what you are learning by employing it actively.

Move your mouth! Understanding something doesn't mean that the muscles of your mouth can produce the sounds. 5. It may seem strange, but it is very effective.

Be patient with yourself. Remember that learning is a process—speaking a language well takes time. It is not a computer that is either on or off!

A. The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource.

B. Try to learn something every day.

C. Practice speaking what you are learning aloud.

D. In other words, don't just study grammar.

E. Find your own interests.

F. Choose articles that relate to what you are fond of.

G. Find friends to study and speak with.

How to learn English well

All English learners want to improve their English, but as you know, it can be difficult! 1.The four main areas for you are: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Here are some ways to help you learn well.

Speaking

Speak as much as possible! This is the best way to learn English. 2.The fastest way to learn English is to surround yourself with English speakers. Also, get into the habit of thinking in English. Don’t translate from your own language into English — it will slow you down. And it’s fun to sing in English, so learn some English songs and sing your heart out!

Listening

Like speaking, it’s better for you to be in a totally English-speaking environment. It’s also good to watch TV shows, or movies in English. 3.But the more you listen, the more you’ll get. It’s good to listen to something over and over again. First, try to get the general meaning, and then, listen a second time for more in-depth information.

Reading

Reading English is something you can do to help you learn on your own, outside of the classroom. Newspapers are good for higher-level students. So for lower levels, try reading children’s stories or books which have been especially written for English learners. 4.You should find something that you can learn well from.

Writing

Try keeping a diary; write something in English in it every day, even if it’s very simple. 5.And the Internet is a great way to help you learn English. Try to make friends online, visit chat rooms, or post comments on blogs. These are all useful tools for you.

A.Make a plan for yourself.

B.For you, you need to work on all areas.

C.Choose easy stories and you can learn more.

D.The English news can be difficult for you at first.

E.Start with small sentences and make them longer.

F.There is nothing better than conversations to help you improve.

G.You won’t learn much if you choose a book that is too difficult or too easy.

Why should you learn Sign Language? Do you want to improve your communication with a family member or friend who is deaf? Do you want to be able to communicate with deaf people in general? Would you like to advance in your career by being able to communicate in ASL? Do you want to be a Sign Language interpreter?

Sign language is not just a random (随意的) collection of gestures but a full-blown (完全成熟的) language in its own right, complete with its own grammatical rules. Each country or region has its own sign language, as different from each other as English is from Spanish. Each version of sign language is somewhat linked to the spoken language in its region. For example, American sign language does share similarities with English, even though it is its own language.

The advantages of knowing sign language in addition to a spoken language are many. Communication becomes possible on many levels with the deaf community, with other people either hearing or not in any of the above situations, as well as many more.

While other languages take years to learn, American Sign Language can be taught in a much shorter time period. It is one of the easiest languages to learn because most of the signs were developed to mimic the actual word or phrase it is representing. Even the alphabet signs look like the letters of the English alphabet.

American Sign Language, or ASL, is the third most used language in the United States. Used by the deaf community, interpreters, and friends and family of the deaf. There are a lot of sites on the internet that not only shows you the sign with video, but will help you practice reading signs as well.

Teaching even hearing babies sign language seems to be the fashion in recent years and for good reason. Communicating in sign language is fun and natural as babies naturally use body gestures in early communication. Teaching baby sign language actually appears to enhance the learning of verbal skills and brain development of the children involved.

1.Which two regions share similarities in their sign language?

A. Spain and Britain.

B. Mexico and USA.

C. Australia and Canada.

D. Japan and Korea.

2.Sign language ________.

3.One of the reasons for learning sign language is that it ________.

4.Babies’ learning sign language cannot ________.

5.Which of the following topics is not discussed in the passage?

Some bats sing just as birds and humans do. But how they learn their calls and melodies is a mystery—one that scientists will try to solve by researching the genes of more than 1,000 bat species.

The project, called Bat 1K, was announced on 14 November at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California. Its organizers also hope to learn more about the flying mammals’ echolocation ability—the ability to find directions in the dark; their strong immune systems that can defend against Ebola, a deadly virus; and their relatively long lifespans.

“The genomes of all these other species, like birds and mice, are well-understood,” says an expert at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. “But we don’t know anything about bat genes yet.”

Some bats show babbling behavior, including barks, chatter, screeches, whistles and trills, says Mirjam Knörnschild, a behavioral ecologist at the Free University of Berlin. Young bats learn the songs and other sounds from older male tutors. They use these sounds during courtship and mating, when they seek food and as they defend their territory against rivals.

Scientists have studied the vocal sounds of only about 50 bat species so far, Knörnschild says, and they know much less about bats’ communication than birds’. Four species of bat have so far been found to learn vocal sounds from each other, their fathers and other adult males, just as a child gradually learns how to speak from its parents.

Genetic studies have discovered at least one gene in bats that is linked to speech and language, called FOXP2. The gene is also known to have a role in how people learn language, and in vocal learning in song-birds. Researchers working on the Bat 1K project expect to find that other genes are also involved in communication, and that many more bat species have the ability to learn songs, calls and other sounds. “It’s not a rare trait,” Knörnschild says. “I’m becoming convinced that all bats are more or less the same in vocal learning.”

Bats’ echolocation ability has been studied for many years, partly because of its applications to sonar and radar. But scientists know very little about the vocal communication and social behaviour that drive how bats learn their songs and sounds, says Michael Yartsev, a neurobiologist at University of California, Berkeley. The study of vocal learning in bats is “nearly completely untapped”, he says—comparing it to the state of research into birdsong 60 years ago.

1.The project, Bat 1K is carried out mainly to ________.

A. do research on the genes of more bat species

B. research bats’ ability to find directions in the dark

C. study the way bats learn their calls and songs

D. learn more secrets about bats’ longer lifespans

2.From Para 5 and 6, we can safely infer that ________.

A. scientists have studied only approximately 50 bat species so far

B. of all bats, only four species learn vocal sounds from each other

C. more than one gene linked to speech and language has been discovered

D. the gene FOXP2 has something to do with human language learning

3.Which of the following is the word “trait” in Paragraph 6 closest to in meaning?

A. quality　　 B. behavior　　 C. habit　　 D. gene

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Scientists try to know more about bat genes.

B. Scientists seek keys to bats’ vocal sounds.

C. All bats are almost the same in vocal learning.

D. Bats sing just as birds and human beings do.
