Could you imagine what it would be like if there were no other ways to get around except by using your feet? Not only would you wear out（磨破）a lot of shoes but it would take you a long time to get anywhere.

1. But that’s just the wheel(轮子); did you know that the earliest boats were dugout canoes(独 木舟)？People lit a fire on a big log(圆木) and then put the fire out and dug out the burned wood!

Then there were the Egyptians, who invented the sailing boat, but this could only be used in one direction.　　 2. Later the clever Romans came along and built their famous network of roads across the Roman Empire3.

Some of the roads did not last very long and they soon became dirt tracks(路). People travelled on roads by wagon(马车), but most things would be taken by sea in the 16th century. In the 19th century, some of the forms of transport that you know today were invented─the bike and the car. 4. The first underground railway in the world was built in London.

D. If the wind was blowing in another direction then they had to row the boat.

E. In addition, travel was made much easier by railways.

F. You really need to thank a few people for saving your poor shoes, like the person who invented the wheel!

G. So the Roman army could march(行军) from one part of the empire to another quickly!

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic(陶艺)class.

On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.

“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.

“No,” I said.

“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you.” she explained.

When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.

As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi! You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.

My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I convey these values to my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.

There is no best way to learn a language, just different ways that suit different people. Some people prefer to “pick up” the language by reading books or magazines, watching films, visiting the country where the target language is spoken, etc. They focus on the meanings of words and don’t worry too much about the language forms used. This method often suits children if they find themselves in a foreign country or with foreign friends. However, this approach doesn’t suit everyone if your aim is to become good at writing.

Probably the most common way to learn a language is in a classroom with a teacher. The teacher can explain difficult words, give guidance, provide extra motivation and feedback on progress. Unfortunately, some people do not have very pleasant experiences of learning a language in the classroom. Language learning can be great fun. But your writing level will be increased most efficiently this way. Besides learning in a classroom, you can use a personal tutor and arrange a very flexible system of tuition. That means if you are busy at a particular time, you can still arrange to have your language tuition at a time that suits you.

With recent improvements in modern technology, it is now possible to purchase a wide range of multi-media materials for learning a language. You can teach yourself using cassettes, videos, CD- ROMs, books, and any combination of these. This approach is best suited to students who are self-disciplined and well-organized. It also tends to assist with the development of reading and listening skills. But be sure to pick out materials of high quality. If you want to become fluent at speaking and writing a language, you’ll also benefit from cooperating with other users.

1.The method mentioned in the first paragraph can be considered _______.

A. passive learning　　 B. natural and active learning

C. the most effective learning method　　 D. a structured learning method

2.The underlined word “flexible” in the second paragraph means “________”.

A. strict　　 B. pleasant　　 C. safe　　 D. free

3.From the passage, we can NOT learn that ________.

A. people need to care about grammar when speaking a language

B. classroom studying can be boring sometimes

C. not all learning materials can help improve our language level

D. students lacking self-control may not benefit much from self-study

4.What might be talked about in the next passage?

A. How to find a personal tutor.

B. How to deal with the difficulties in study.

C. How to cooperate with other language learners.

D. How to find the best studying method.

Step Two: Approach the Person

He wants to quit.

4.

He wants to stop,but not yet.

You must be willing to calmly accept any of these responses.If he says he does want to stop,go on with the next step.If not,they will have to be visited later when he is ready.

Step Three: Prevent Him Giving Up Halfway

C.Are you lazy because you smoke too much?

D.It’s best to approach the person in this manner.

There are two methods by which hydrogen(氢)can be used to power cars.The first way is to use hydrogen to drive the engine，in much the same manner as many cars use gas.The second method is to use the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen in a battery(电池).

The dream of producing hydrogen for the car from water while driving is a long way off，so we are still at the period of batteries and filling the tank with hydrogen gas.This is the most difficult thing for car users and producers.There are only sixteen hydrogen filling stations in Los Angeles and none in 99% of other cities worldwide.

Indeed，some of the big name automobile producers have pulled out of the race to put the first practical hydrogen car on the streets.Ford and GM have announced that they are pulling out in America and so has Renault in France.

However，the Japanese companies are going on with it.In fact，Honda introduced its first hydrogen fuel car in 1999.They are now working on the second­generation hydrogen cars known as the FCX Clarity.Guess where you can buy these cars？There is only one city in the world.Yes，Los Angeles，because of its filling stations.

Honda thinks that they could go into full­scale production of the FCX Clarity by 2020，if the world is prepared for them by then.Hyundai has on­going plans to make hydrogen fuel cars and says that they will be produced in 2012.Daimler also says that they would be producing 100,000 hydrogen fuel cars in 2012－2013.

Then there are hydrogen powered buses in several European cities including Amsterdam，Barcelona，Hamburg，London，Luxembourg and Madrid.Lotus，the maker of London taxis，has announced that they want to produce some hydrogen powered taxis in time for the London Olympics.

So the hydrogen vehicles(交通工具)are out there and the numbers will be growing fairly soon.However，getting fuel is not the only difficulty for the average motorist.

1.Which of the following things may take the longest to come true?

A. Using the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen in batteries to power cars.

B. Using water to produce hydrogen for cars while driving.

C. Hyundai's developing hydrogen fuel cars.

D. Developing hydrogen powered taxis.

2.Which of the following statements about hydrogen powered vehicles is TRUE?

A. Hydrogen powered cars were not introduced to the public until the 21st century.

B. Hydrogen powered buses can only be seen in America right now.

C. Hydrogen powered taxis produced by Lotus will be used in America soon.

D. Hydrogen powered vehicles are likely to increase in the number soon.

3.The writer wrote this passage mainly to________.

A. tell us the history of hydrogen powered vehicles

B. tell us the present­day situation of hydrogen powered vehicles

C. introduce some Japanese car producers to us

D. introduce several European cities that are using hydrogen powered vehicles
