What would you say when we told you that you ...

What would you say when we told you that you could learn to speak a new language in only 7 days? Pretty unbelievable, right? But how could it be? To find out, we spoke to David－one of our brave Babbel learners－to see how the Babbel app successfully got him speaking Norwegian(挪威语) in just one week.

How much time did you learn each day?

I didn’t need to give my whole life over to learning Norwegian. Each Babbel lesson takes only 15 minutes, and I set myself the achievable aim of finishing three Babbel lessons daily. This took 45 minutes each day.

How did the Babbel app help you learn so quickly?

The Babbel app has a course plan for beginners that taught me how to make sentences in Norwegian within the first few days. Then I was able to personalize my learning by choosing single-topic lessons on eating, drinking, music, culture, travelling and so on. This allowed me to quickly enlarge(扩大) my vocabulary!

This way of learning kept me highly active, and made sure I wasn’t bored to tears(眼泪) with grammar practice that we all remember from school!

“After 7 days I was able to introduce myself in Norwegian, talk about my hobbies and interests, and most importantly, communicating with a native(本国的) Norwegian speaker in a real conversation and I could even play a joke or two!”

Would you introduce this app to others?

Certainly! Babbel has 14 languages to choose from, so if you’re thinking about brushing up on your German for a business trip, or learning a bit of Portuguese(葡萄牙语) for next year’s summer vacation, you’ll be happy to hear that you only need an app, 7 days of learning to get you conversational.

1.The Babbel app is used for people to _______.

A. speak with natives B. learn foreign languages

C. do international business D. plan a vacation abroad

2.How did the Babbel app help David learn quickly?

A. It took him little time every day.

B. It provided him with 14 languages.

C. It gave him daily grammar practice.

D. It offered lessons according to his needs.

3.The example of David is used in the passage to show that _______.

A. hard work matters a lot B. Babbel app sells well

C. Norwegian is easy to learn D. Babbel app really helps

(1)I was only an 11-year-old girl when my parents told me that we would soon move to America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear(忍受）the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I listened to every morning.

In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.

The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism（乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools and I (2)________most of my time(2)_________learning the English language.I hardly had any time for fun. Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried(再婚), and things became even harder for me. It took me some time to get used to my stepfather(继父). I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”

I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated(翻译）all kinds of information and took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there.

Luckily, things got better and better later and almost all common troubles went away at last　 From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!

If we are asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written it in an account(陈述) of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.

It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we don’t have written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but it was often destroyed(破坏) by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a great deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learnt to write.

Sometimes, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and those have been sung and acted and told for many generations(代), for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has been written history because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often helpful.

1.Which of the following ideas is NOT included in the passage?

A. “Remembered history” is less reliable (可靠的) than written history.

B. Written records of the past play an important role in our learning of the human history.

C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.

D. If there are no written records, there is no history.

2.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ________.

A. there was nothing worth writing down at that time

B. the people there paid no attention to the importance of keeping a record

C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by fire

D. the people there did not know how to write

3.“Remembered history” is considered as valuable only when ________.

A. it is written down　　　　　　 B. there is no written account

C. it proves to right　　　　 　　 D. people are interested in it

4.The passage suggests(暗示) that we could have learnt much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ________.

A. kept a record of every past event

B. not burnt their written records in wars

C. told the exact stories of the most important happenings

D. made more songs and dances

We could all say that we have bad days as we go through life, but what does it take to have a really good day?

I remember a day recently when I had to go to the ________ for special tests because I wasn’t feeling well and my doctor sent me to a specialist to try and find the cause of my illness.

As I ________ to the hospital, I was feeling sad and certainly wasn’t on top of my game. As I got to the hospital, I began my _______ for a parking lot. I finally found one not too far from the entrance to the hospital.

As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket, I noticed a man looking a little _______ standing in front of a parking meter (停车记时收费表) two cars away. He seemed to be searching his pockets for what I supposed were ________ for the meter.

Although I _______ didn’t feel that great, I thought that I should at least go over to him and find out if I could ________ him. As I stood beside him, he turned to me looking worried. I asked him if he had a problem I could help with. He said that he had no coins at all because he was only thinking about visiting his sick wife when he left his house.

I reached into my pocket and ________ out two dollars and gave it to him without saying a word. And, without waiting for a reply, I turned on my heel and said to him as I was walking away: “Have a good day.”

The funny thing was that I felt a lot brighter, a small smile came to my face, and I seemed to walk just a little quicker. I was walking away when he called out: “Thank you so much.” You know, I didn’t even ________ him to say anything. He didn’t have to say a word to me. It was simply enough to know that I had helped someone else who needed a little ________. That’s all it took to bring a smile to my face as I went on toward completing my own business.

You know, it doesn’t take much to help someone else.
