Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is ? 36 ?to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in ? 37 ? too much from the first reading of a(n) ? 38 ? book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the ? 39 ?reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair(令人失望).

What is the right method? The ? 40 ? is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not ? 41 ? or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever ? 42 ? to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.

Do not be stopped by what you ? 43 ? understand. Read through the difficult ? 44 ?,and you soon come to things that you do understand. Read these ? 45 ?.You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that ? 46 ? you to have read the book through once ? 47 ?.

What you understand by reading the book through to the ? 48 ? will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not ? 49 ? in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding ? 50 ? of it, which will happen ? 51 ? you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.?

Most of us were taught to ? 52 ? the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the ? 53 ? of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another ? 54 ? for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only ? 55 ? our reading, instead of helping it.

I was asked in an email about learning idioms in a foreign language.Maybe I am different from most people,but I do not bother with them.To me they are kind of dessert of language learning.They come at the end of a meal.Once you have filled up with the solid fare—the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations,then you can add a few idioms to spice up things.And by that time you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.

I find that many learners have an obsession(困扰) with slang and idioms,as if repeating some very colloquial expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language.In fact it is the opposite.Idioms are difficult to use correctly.They can easily sound very strange coming from someone who obviously does not have a good sense of the language.

Yes,occasionally you hear idioms or slang and do not understand.But,in my experience,there are always situations where you do not understand.It is best to focus on the most important words,what they mean and how they are used.Certainly,it is best for a non?native speaker to stick to standard speech.

Some teachers even try to teach the “real language”.Then you hear non?native speakers saying things like “I gonna” ,“You wanna” etc.I just cringe(厌烦).

You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language.In general,you can save any phrase that you find interesting,and if that includes idioms,go to it.But I would not make any special effort to go after idioms.I,in fact,avoid them.If I come across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly slangy or idiomatic use of words,I just leave it aside; do not even bother trying to learn it.If it keeps on appearing,then I will learn it.But I would certainly be reluctant(勉强的) to try to use it.

 

1.In the writer's opinion,when one learns a new language,one should learn its idioms ________.

A.at the beginning   B.on one's own

C.in the end       D.without help

2.The underlined word “colloquial” in Para.2 means “________”.

A.oral       B.informal

C.formal       D.written

3.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A.idioms are the most important part in a language

B.the writer is not very willing to use idioms

C.non?native speakers should learn more idioms

D.there are no ways to master idioms

4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A.It's better to avoid idioms in a language

B.Idioms are very charming in a language

C.How to learn idioms in a language

D.Why it's difficult to use idioms in a language

5.How did the writer develop the passage?

A.By inferring.

B.By comparing.

C.By listing examples.

D.By giving explanations.

Tips on Building Self-Confidence
Self-confidence is a key skill for every goal you want to accomplish Self-confidence means that you know who you are and what you' re good at and that you can handle stress and generally perform under pressure.If you feel like you don't have enough self-confidence, you probably don' t, so you should always try to increase your confidence by following a few day-to-day tips.
1.Exercise.
Exercise regularly, between three and five times a week.This boosts your self-confidence in a variety of ways. 1 __ Second, the endorphins(内啡呔) you release while exercising make you feel better about yourself.Finally, setting exercise goals and achieving those goals improves your self-confidence by showing yourself exactly what your body is capable of doing.
2.2 _
You can boost your self-confidence by achieving more.So whenever you have a project, presentation or any other event that will showcase your skills, put a lot of effort into preparing for it.Rather than telling yourself how good you are, show yourself through your actions.
3.Self Focus.
3  If someone says something unkind to you, choose not to let it affect you.This gives you power over yourself rather than giving it to other people, and it boosts your self-confidence.It may be difficult at first, but once you realize that other peoples’ words and opinions are meaningless, you start to feel more self-confident.
4.Fake It.Act confident.
This can be tricky, especially if you have very low self-confidence.  5  It doesn’t have to be a lone conversation.Once you realize that the stranger is likely to forget about you within 10 minutes, your self-confidence starts to develop.

D.Focus on yourself rather than other people.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.

As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.

My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times.

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

1.The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.

A.after Mother died

B.before she became a writer

C.when she was a child

D.when mother gave it to her

2.The passage shows that _______.

A.Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done

B.Mother cared much about her daughter in words

C.Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.

D.Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter

3.The world “gulf ” in the passage means _______.

A.deep understanding between the old and the young.

B.different ideas between the mother and the daughter.

C.free talks between mother and daughter.

D.part of the sea going far in land.

4.What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?

A.She had never received the letter.

B.For years, she often talked about the letter.

C.She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.

D.She read the letter again and again till she died.

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A.My letter to Mother

C.My Mother’s Desk
