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.

I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake most of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously (好奇地). You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.

九年级英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
When you read an article you will understand and remember it better if you can work out how the writer has put the ideas together．Sometimes a writer puts ideas together by asking questions and then answering them．For example，if the article is about groundhogs（土拨鼠），the set of questions in the writer’s head might be：
What does a groundhog look like？
Where do groundhogs live？
What do they eat？…
In the article，the author might answer those questions．
Sometimes an author writes out her questions in the article．These questions give you signals．They tell you what the author is going to write next．Often an author has a question in her head but she doesn’t write it out for you．You have to work out her question for yourself．Here’s a sample reading for you to practice this method.
Earthworms
Do you know how many kinds of earthworms there are？There are about 1800 kinds in the world！ They can be brown，purple，green．They can be as small as 3 cm long and as large as 3 m long．
The best time to see earthworms is at night，especially a cool，damp night．That’s when they come up from their burrows（地洞）to hunt for food．Earthworms don’t like to be in the sun．That’s because they breathe through their skin，and they can’t breathe if their skin gets too dry．Earthworms must come out of the earth if it rains a lot，because they can't breathe in their flooded burrows．What a dangerous life！
Earthworms don't have eyes，so how can they tell when it's dark？ They have special places on their skin that are sensitive to light．These spots tell whether it’s light or dark．If you shine a flashlight on an earthworm at night，it will quickly disappear into the ground．
Earthworms don't have ears either，but they can hear by feeling movements in the earth．If you want to hear like an earthworm，lie on the ground with your fingers in your ears．Then have a friend stamp his or her feet near you．This is how earthworms feel birds and people walking，and moles digging，near them．
Earthworms are useful．Farmers and gardeners like having lots of earthworms in their land because the worms help to make better soil when they dig．That digging keeps the soil loose and airy（通风的）．In one year earthworms can pile up as much as 23,000 kg of castings in an area about the size of a football field．
1.What’s the purpose of reading Earthworms?
A．To show the special life facts of earthworms.
B．To explain the differences from the groundhogs.
C．To put the writer’s idea into real use.
D．To make the readers think more clearly.
2.Which question CANNOT be answered in the passage?
A．How do earthworms help with gardeners?
B．What life are earthworms living with?
C．When may people observe earthworms?
D．Why can human listen like earthworms?
3.How can you understand Earthworms better according to this passage?
A．Read, ask and answer questions in your own head while reading.
B．Read to work out all the questions in the writer’s head while reading.
C．Read and check all the things that are not clear to you again and again.
D．Read for general ideas and discuss or compare with other similar topics.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A．One way to help with understanding
B．One way to practice with a new idea
C．One way to learn to be a wise writer
D．One way to be clearer about worms

Can you remember a world before the Internet? If your answer is "no," then you are probably a millennial. Millennials are the new generation(代) of young Americans. They were born between 1982 and 1992. There are 33 million of them, and they are just starting to enter the workforce(劳动力). Many experts(专家) believe that millennials are different from young Americans of past generations. They also believe that millennials will change the workforce in important ways.
How are millennials different? They are the first generation born in the computer age. The Internet has always been a part of their lives. They spend about 16 hours a week on the Internet, and this doesn't include e-mail. And they spend 72 hours a week using other electronic media(媒体), including mobile phones and video games. They are "native speakers" of the language of the computer age. People who were born earlier will never be native speakers of that language. Why not? They did not grow up "speaking" it.
How will millennials change the workforce? To answer that question, it is important to understand how the millennials use the Internet. They use the Internet to communicate. They visit websites such as FaceBook and MySpace every day. They share(分享) ideas, music, information, games, and friendships with people all over the world. When they start working, they will want to share their work and ideas with others.

Millennials also grew up with lots of structure in their lives. Many of them went to school at the age of two or three and played on sports teams. At work, they will expect the rules to be clear. They will also expect a strong but fair boss, like a coach on a sports team. They will follow the person in charge(主管) if he or she is fair. But they will not follow an unfair boss. They will also expect their work to be fun and creative, similar to their experiences on a sports team.
These are a few of the changes that experts believe that millennials will bring to the American workforce. But the world is changing very fast. There will probably be more changes that are difficult to imagine today.
