“Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!”Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not guarantee（保证）success for every adult language learner.
Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in language learning. Conversely（相反的）, some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.
Language teachers often offer advice to language learners.“Read as much as you can in the new language. Practice speaking the language every day. Live with people who speak the language.”“Don't translate--try to think in the new language. Learn as a child would learn: play with the language.”
But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
First of all, successful language learners are independent（独立的）learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They discover their own way to learn the language, instead of waiting for the teacher to explain. They try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues（线索）and form their own conclusions.
Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.
What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.
(1)A successful language learner must ________.
[ ]
A．be very intelligent
B．depend on a good book or teacher
C．always try to speak correctly
D．try to learn the new language independently, actively, and purposefully
(2)Which of the following would most probably NOT be a piece of advice offered by a language teacher?
[ ]
A．Never guess the meaning of a word.
B．Don't translate--try to think in the new language.
C．Find every chance to speak the language.
D．Read as much as possible in the new language.
(3)The expression“play with the language”in Para graph 3 means to ________.
[ ]
A．learn the language to play with a child
B．learn the language from a child
C．learn the language in a more natural way
D．use the language as a boy
(4)According to the text, thinking in the language is more important than knowing the meaning of every word of the language. Why?
[ ]
A．Knowing the meaning of every word is useless.
B．Thinking in the language is easier than knowing the meaning of every word.
C．Knowing the meaning of every word requires more time.
D．When thinking in the language, you are using the language in an active way.

Research has shown that motivation is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives－the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment are only some of the possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.
Courage is an essential attribute in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes－that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.
Curiosity is not only a possible motivation, it is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture or different cultures. It is no good learning strings of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible, about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed, the references which are being made, the inferences which can be drown from the information explicitly given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English－watch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspapers and magazines: which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read－not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. The will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used , and much of its effect from a whole network of extralinguistic knowledge.

B．Words are the basis of English learning.

Most American students go to traditional (传统的) public schools. There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend charter schools.
Charter schools are self-governing. Certain companies operate (经营) some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.
Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws that govern traditional public schools. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.
The government strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education unions are against charter schools. One teachers’ union has just released the results of the first national study, which compared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.
The results of the study show that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than the students in traditional public schools.
Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress.
67. If a company wants to operate a charter school, it must ______.
A. try new methods of teaching B. prove its management ability
C. obey the local and state laws D. get the government’s permission
68. What’ s the government’ s attitude toward charter schools?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Satisfied. D. Unclear.
69. What can we learn from the text?
A. More students choose to attend charter schools.
B. Charter schools are better than traditional schools.
C. Students in charter schools are well educated.
D. People have different opinions about charter schools.
70. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Charter schools in America
B. Public schools in America
C. Schools in America
D. Education in America
