What is a language for? Some people seem to think it's r practicing grammar rules and learning words.That's wrong.A language is for exchanging ideas.It's no good knowing all about language if you can't use it.

Many students I have been teaching know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can't speak correctly or freely.They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes.We native speakers make mistakes,too.And we break rules.Bernard Shaw once said,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They are English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule。What used to be wrong becomes right.The people not only make history,they also make a language.They can make their own language.They can't make another people's language.

So Chinese students who ale learning English should pay attention to the grammar,but they shouldn't overdo it,They should put communication(交际)first.

1、While learning a foreign language,       

A、don't be afraid of making mistakes               B、don't be afraid of speaking too correctly

C、try to make mistakes like native speakers      D、try to speak it correctly

2、The passage says that while speaking English,         

A、English students never make mistakes                C  foreigners never make mistakes

C、some Englishmen also make mistakes           D、native speakers never make mistakes

3、The passage didn't say,but it leads you to believe that

C、language is never changed                           D、language is always changing

There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or television set. Both of them have become a necessary part of our daily life, keeping us filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many fields of interest, and making us happy with singing, dancing and acting.

Marconl, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn’t know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come. Radio had, perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happen. Travelers in or out of–the–way places, ships at sea even astronauts round the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio.

Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since its appearance, TV has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere. Many programs are now televised in color.

Perhaps the most modern invention is “Telstar”, a “star” moving round the earth. It makes it possible for the people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now a family in Chicago can watch on TV a motor–car race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening!

A. An Italian.     B. A Japanese.       C. An American.    D. A Chinese.

3.Why does the passage say radio and TV have become a necessary part of our daily life?

A. Because they have touched nearly everything in our life.

B. Because men would not live happily without them.

C. Because they are the only ways to spread information.

D. Because no communication means no life.

4. What is a “Telstar” used to do according to the passage?

A. To receive and store information only.

B. To move around the earth just like the moon.
