I started to learn English when I was in elementary school. Together with my two friends, I had English classes with a private teacher. I lacked motivation and I learned very little. This stage was insignificant and could just as well have not happened at all.

I began to learn English in earnest when I went to high school. I was in the same class with Michael, but in different groups. I was in a group for students who were to learn English from scratch, and he was in a group for those who had already known some English. Very soon, my teacher noticed that my English was improving rapidly and he told me to join the group for the advanced learners. This was the worst thing that could have happened to me. My new teacher, who was Irish, didn’t speak Polish so I couldn’t understand her and I never knew what I was supposed to do. I was completely at a loss. My English didn’t improve at all. As a result, at the end of that year I was sent back to the group for beginners.

My stay with the advanced group made me realize what kind of learning strategies I should use in the future. I discovered that I cannot pick up a new language directly from foreigners. I started to learn hard again.

I translated into Polish all new words that appeared in my course-book. Before a test I would memorize dozens of words with their Polish equivalents (对等物). However, later I would never revise those words so I would soon forget most of them.

I knew that I should improve my learning techniques and I decided to ask for help those who had the best results in our class, that is Michael. That wasn’t easy because in the second grade, they seemed to look down on girls. So after a few attempts to approach them I decided to give up. For two years I learned English using the method described above. My English was improving but I was still forgetting new words. Finally, in the fourth grade I got closer to Michael, who started to show me how to learn English more efficiently, which was a breakthrough in the whole process of my learning English.

Michael encouraged me to read books in English with monolingual dictionaries. Several months later, I began to write e-mail messages in English.

I have been using these techniques for four years, and in my opinion, I have achieved pretty good results.

1. Which of the author’s English learning experiences was not worthy of notice?

A. In elementary school.

B. The first year in high school.

C. The second and third years in high school.

D. The fourth year in high school.

2.Of the following experiences, which one made the greatest suffering to the author?

A. She shared a private English teacher with his two friends.

B. She was moved to the advanced group in the first high school year.

C. She was sent back to the group for beginners.

D. She got Michael to help her in English.

3. What did the author learn from her study in the advanced group?

A. She could not learn a new language quite well.

B. Learning strategies are not important.

C. The Irish teacher is not suitable for her.

D. She had to ask for help those who had the best results in her class.

4. What is the most important thing in the author’s process of English learning?

A. Michael began to teach her an efficient way of learning English.

B. She tried to read books in English.

C. She tried to use monolingual dictionaries.

D. She tried to write e-mail messages in English.

Mr. Brozina is a single father and an elementary school librarian who reads aloud for a living. When his daughter, Kristen, hit fourth grade, he proposed The Streak: to see if they could read together for 100 straight bedtimes without missing once.

When The Streak reached 100, they celebrated with a pancake breakfast, and Kristen whispered, "I think we should try for 1,000 nights."

Mr. Brozina was delighted, but what he was thinking was, a thousand nights?! "I thought, we'll never do it," he recalled. "And then we got to 1,000, and we said, 'How can we stop?' "

For 3,218 nights (and some mornings, if Mr. Brozina was coming home too late to read). The Streak went on. It progressed from picture books to middle-school classics to Harry Potter, Agatha Christie, Dickens and Shakespeare, continuing on, until Kristen's first day of college.

In those nine-plus years, they survived many close calls. When Kristen was still in elementary school, her father went to Washington. "The phone rang at 10:45 at the hotel and it was Kristen," Mr. Brozina recalled. "She said, 'Dad, we forgot The Streak!' Fortunately, I always traveled with several books and we read right then and there."

This spring, Kristen graduated from Rowan' University. She has performed as you'd expect for a product of The Streak, an English major with a 3.94 average. She also won two national writing contests, was an editor of the humor arid literary publications and won the annual English department award.

1.According to the passage, Mr. Brozina and his daughter read together for ________.

A. 100 bedtimes                      B. 1000 nights                          C. over nine years                       D. nearly 3000 nights and some mornings

2.In the passage, the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. the period of time for reading together    B. me children's book                    C. the special night                      C. the school work

3.How has Kristen benefited from reading with her father?

A. She has grown closer to her father.      B. She has become a school librarian herself.  C. She has performed well at university.       D. She has won many reading awards.

4.This passage is about a father who _____.

A. is very strict in his work               B. enjoys reading when travelling          C. makes his daughter love reading       D. has a hard time bringing up his daughter
