The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most trustful husbands; their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.

People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.

One thing I can tell you is that, once you start learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I am in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It is amazing how much this helps.

For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I did not want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.

Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.

1.How long did the author learn English in Wuhan University?

A.A week. B.A Month.

C.A term. D.A year.

2.What is the good way to improve your English according to the author?

A.Reading English books. B.Thinking in English.

C.Watching English films. D.Learning English grammar.

3.Where did the author improve his English quickly?

A.In America. B.In China.

C.In the university. D.In the middle school.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.My University Life B.American English

C.My English Learning Experience D.The Importance of Learning English

高一英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

People hold different views on what or how much homework should be. It is partly due to(由于) the fact that people can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework.

Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce (巩固)what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things. Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it’s the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.

However, many parents seem to have different ideas. Elisa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesn’t like the fact that third-grade students in DC elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. She said, “They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternate (交替的) ways of thinking about books, reading and writing.”

Some education reformers (改革者), such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor well-known for his theory on multiple intelligence, think that Cohen is on the right track. But it’s often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework tasks.

1. How many opinions do the teachers have on “homework”?

A.3.    B.4.    C.5.    D.6.

2. According to the experts’ opinions, ___________.

A. what Cohen’s thinking about is correct

B. teachers shouldn’t work too hard or too long

C. teachers should give necessary work to the students

D. teachers should let the students repeat what they didn’t have time to get in class

3.What’s the problem with Elisa Cohen’s twins in writing about their book report?

A. They find homework really hard.

B. They simply copy one repeatedly.

C. They get different ways of thinking about their work.

D. They aren’t given much thinking about what they read.

4.Some education reformers think we should improve our school education by_____.

A. increasing homework　　　　　 B. changing schools

C. changing teachers 　　　　　　 D. reducing homework
