Mr. Johnson is a hardworked teacher. Every day, he spends too much time for his work. With little sleep and hard any break, he works from morning till night. Hard work have made him very ill. ¡°He has ruined her health. We are worried about him.¡± That is which other teachers say. Yesterday afternoon, I paid a visit Mr. Johnson. I was eager to seeing him, but outside his room I stopped. I had to calm myself down. Quietly I stepped into the room. I saw him lying in bed, looking at some of the picture we had taken together. I understood that he missed us just as many as we missed him.

Soup on my nose, a nearly spilled glass of wine and chocolate down my white blouse, as blind dates suggest, this was a really messy one. I have never made so much noise with plates and glasses, nor had I dined with a never-before-met companion. This blind date was quite different: we could see nothing. "Put your left hand on my shoulder, and then we'll take small steps forward," said Michael, the visually impaired(ÊÓÁ¦ÕÏ°­µÄ) server, in an East London accent. We three felt our way carefully bumping past heavy curtains before being arranged at the dining table, where we would eat and drink three completely secret and unseen courses.

Welcome to Alchemy in the Dark, Hong Kong's first full-time restaurant in total darkness. Upon arrival, diners briefly tell the chef on their allergies(¹ýÃôÐÔ·´Ó¦), lock away their mobile phones and enter the windowless restaurant, which can seat 25. When the meal is over, the contents of the delicious menu are shown --- often to the diners' surprise. "This is definitely duck," my friend said, while eating chicken. "This soup," I declared, "is carrot and coriander." Even the too-close smell did not reveal the real tomato and cumin flavors. Dining in the dark changes everything: the sense of smell is heightened, manners go out of the window ----using your hands to feel around the plate becomes normal--- and there is a strange thrill in being able to ignore your facial expressions. Best of all? You don't have to spend hours beforehand(ÊÂÏÈ) wondering what to wear.

Alchemy in the Dark is at 16 Arbuthnot Road, Central, (tel: 6821 2801) and is open Monday to Saturday, from 7pm to 11pm. Reservations are required. A three-course meal with wine pairing costs HK$700 per person. Five per cent of all profits go to the Hong Kong Society for the Blind.

How many hours does it take to be fluent in English?

There are plenty of people in the UK for whom even basic English is a problem. According to the survey, 726,000 people in England and Wales said they could not speak English well, and another 138,000 said they did not speak it at all.

Ling, 40,who arrived five years ago from China, found it difficult to learn English. " When I came here l was pregnant and so I was at home for the next three years. It took me longer to learn as l was very busy with the children.¡± Eventually she was able to begin taking classes and now speaks good conversational English. But even with classes, it can be a long process to pick up the language.

Age is the most important factor in language acquisition, says Mila Vulchanova, professor of linguistics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. "There is a sensitive period in language learning, which is biologically determined, with an onset at birth and a decline around puberty. So the younger the immigrant, the better. Since this decline is only gradual, teenagers are at an advantage over adults.¡± he says.

There are a number of systems for grading English. The government expects immigrants to reach "ESOL Entry 3" or "B1 level" in Scotland, before they can be granted citizenship. It's equivalent£¨Ï൱µÄ£© to being able to hold a confident conversation and-it might take 360 hours of study to achieve.

George Osborne said in June following the spending review that welfare claimants£¨ÉêÇëÕߣ©who don't speak English will have their benefits cut if they fail to attend language courses.

Huan Japes, deputy chief executive of English UK, a trade body for language colleges, says a rule of thumb is 360 hours-120 hours for each of three stages-to get to the standard the government expects benefit claimants to reach.

But many of the people who attend courses are visiting students rather than people settling in the UK. Immigrants tend to have very varied levels of education.

" Using 120 hours( for each stage of English fluency) is a rather traditional approach to course book learning," says Dr Elaine Boyd, head of English language at Trinity College London. "If someone is really highly motivated, they can learn really quickly. It's common for children under the age of 11 to be very immersed and be fluent in about six months. "

1.The example of Ling is given to show that _ .

A. it's important to speak fluent English

B. many immigrants attend English classes

C. it's difficult to learn English well

D. many immigrants can't speak English in England

2. What does Mila Vulchanova mainly stress?

A. The necessity of working hard at English.

B. The function of the sensitive period.

C. The advantages of children's learning English.

D. The importance of starting learning English early.

3.What Dr Elaine Boyd says suggests that .

A. 120 hours is a standard that is a little low

B. 120 hours is a standard that is too high

C. English fluency can be easily achieved

D. English fluency can hardly be achieved

4.The author develops the passage mainly by .

A. using survey data

B. using experts' views

C. giving examples of English learners

D. listing the facts of English learning

The world was mysterious (ÉñÃصÄ) when I was a child, so miracles (Ææ¼£) were welcome wonders. Now, there doesn¡¯t seem to be space for them in this world I so intelligently understand.

Perhaps it¡¯s from years of working around sick and often dying children, watching time and time again as a child slips away from the arms of a begging mother. I have stopped hoping as the parents around me hope.

I recently cared for a patient near the end of his life. Medically speaking, his situation was hopeless, which made me feel helpless and defeated.

His mother came in to see him. I had prepared myself to support her, imagining she would crumble (±ÀÀ£) into a pile of tears.

¡°Our God is faithful,¡± she said, with a smile on her face and the sunshine of hope in her eyes.

¡°Cancer is faithful,¡± I muttered (àÖ¹¾) in my mind.

¡°We still believe he can heal him,¡± she continued, as if she had heard what I was thinking.

I provided updates on his body. In a laundry list of updates, perhaps two things were positive. She thanked me for the information, repeating back the minor positive notes I had given.

I brcame kind of angry. And I wanted to sak, ¡°Do you really not understand the gravity (ÑÏÖØÐÔ) of this illness?¡±

And then, yet again, as if she had heard me, she replied with this: A positive attitude gives us power over our circumstances, rather than allowing our circumstances to have power over us.

I was shocked. Here I was, judging her positive attitude as a fault. I completely disregarded the choice to believe in something more powerful than me, more healing than the doctors on our team. It wasn¡¯t blind faith. It was strength and devotion.

When I came out of the room, tears welling in my eyes, I sat at my computer and looked

down at a small plate of candies she must have left for me on her way into the room. A hand

written note was laid above them: Kate, your devotion is so appreciated, S.

S, it is your devotion that I am appreciating today. Because of you, I am begging again to

believe in miracles.

Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (¾ßÌåµÄ) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.

Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to color1 ful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean ¡°SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.¡± People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.

Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (Äæ¾³), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.

Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.
