If life can be compared to a meal, I think the mistakes are like salt and the success is a candy.

“Hey,”said the boy sitting next to me.“Don’t worry. Take your time.”And so I did. But I still couldn’t pronounce my Chinese name that was given by the teacher correctly. I was so embarrassed on my first day of learning Chinese!

I took Chinese classes during my summer vacation. Every morning I walked for 25 minutes to the class while having a Chinese jianbing from one of the breakfast carts(推车) on the way. Learning Spanish in school was a cushy job for me, because I could speak French and Italian which helped me with another Romance language(罗曼语). However, learning Chinese was difficult at first. As a boy who was born in America and grew up in America, I knew nothing about the language. I chose it mainly because my goal was to teach and work internationally.

As the classes went on, I slowly found that I was making connections. My 10 years of playing the piano have allowed me to perform for others. My several years of writing have led me to become a school reporter. I knew that my Chinese classes would allow me to speak Chinese well.

So what did my summer really taste like? It tasted like the Chinese food that, for the first time, I did not order in English, my mother language.

1.Why did the writer feel embarrassed in his first Chinese class?

A. Because he had no Chinese name.　　 B. Because he forgot his Chinese name.

C. Because he had bad Chinese pronunciation.　　 D. Because he couldn’t write his Chinese name.

2.The underlined word“cushy”means“　　　　 ”.

A. common　　 B. funny　　 C. popular　　 D. easy

3.The writer’s first language is 　　　　 .

A. French　　 B. English　　 C. Italian　　 D. Spanish

4.What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 4?

A. He had a lot of hobbies.　　 B. He wanted to work in China.

C. He was sure he could speak Chinese well.　　 D. He had a talent for learning foreign languages.

5.What do we know about the writer according to the passage?

Today, most people are busy and have no time to enjoy life. Actually, your life can be enjoyable if you take a little stop and check your routine tasks(日常工作). Then you will find it's actually easy to make some good changes in life .

For example, waking up early gives you enough time to exercise, have your breakfast peacefully, read your book, and then get on with the rest of your day. You can also use morning time to plan the day. While planning the day, you can begin by writing down the tasks(任务) you need to finish in a day, and then decide which tasks are important enough for you to finish first .

Well, taking a bus, a subway or a train doesn't seem a good way to save time. However, by taking these, you' ll get the time to read books, listen to music and so on. As a result, you'll save time .

If you love playing with your mobile phone, you waste so much time doing nothing helpful. You need to spend your time on something meaningful, like painting something, or reading a great book. Also Internet surfing(上网), these days, is one of the top time-wasting activities around. So cutting down the time you spend on the Internet is one way to save time for yourself.

When you don't have enough time to look after yourself, you will probably have bad health. A busy lifestyle should be the reason for you to treat yourself with great care and make more time for yourself.

Computers are very important  to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.

Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.

Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.

Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.

A. playing games, shopping and making telephone calls

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first words? If you can, you are unusual. Try to think what the first few months of your life were like. I’m sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.

Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.

On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language.

After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words described things such as good or dirty. Soon you learned to put words together to express one’s idea, such as“I want to go out and play with my friends.”This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication.

1.________ can remember the day when we spoke our first words.

A.Few of us B.No one C.Most people D.Someone

2.When you were a little baby, you ________.

A.made sounds to let people know that you wanted to eat
