There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. Bu only 1 of them are very important. English is one of these. Many, many people 2 it, not only in England and the USA, 3 other parts of the world, about 200,000,000 speak it 4 their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a 5 language. Many millions are trying to do so.
Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different 6 . Have you ever noticed ads (广告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks or your 7 back…“Easy and funny! Our records and tapes help you master your English in a month. 8 the first day your 9 will be excellent. Just send… ” Of course, it never 10 quite like this.
The only language 11 seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should 12 that we all learned our own language well when we were 13 . If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. 14 what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He 15 what he hears. When he is using the language, talking in it, 16 in it all the time,just imagine how much 17 that gets!
So it is 18 to say that learning English is easy, because a good command (掌握) of English depends upon a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts and 19 much time. Good teachers, records, tapes, books, and dictionaries will 20 . But they cannot do the student's work for them.

1．根据前句与后句的意思可知，世界上约1500种语言，只有很少的几种语言非常重要．few表否定“几乎没有”，many不合句意，a lot不仅不合句意，而且还不合语法． 2．由后句“in England and the USA"可知是“使用英语”． 3．not only… but also…结构中的also可以省略． 4．as作介词“作为、当作”的意思，这里是指以英语为母语的人数大约是两亿． 5．“以英语为母语的人大约有两亿，而把英语当外语学习的人数就很难说清了”． 6．“不同的人对这个问题的看法不同”． 7．广告词的内容为“六周学会英语，否则退钱”． 8．用from表示纯正标准的发音可以从第一天开始．since是“自从……以来”，常与完成时态连用．on表示在第一天． 9．由前面的records，tapes可知． 10．广告或多或少地在效果方面有些夸张，所以说事实上并不完全是广告所说的那个样子． 11．先行词language被限定词the only所修饰，所以用关系代词that引导定语从句． 12．这一句话是解释上一句“惟一容易学的语言是母语”，提醒读者别忘了根本原因是我们在小的时候就已学会了母语． 13．同12． 14．这是个总起句，“想想小孩子是怎么做的吧”，下文就列举孩子学母语时的情况． 15．孩子先是听别人说，然后试着说他所听到的话，所以用try． 16．总是用母语谈话，用母语进行思考． 17．通过上文所述及下段的内容可知，这里是在强调大量练习对学习语言的重要性． 18．由后面because引导的原因状语从句，可知“要说英语容易学，是很难的”． 19．练习需要努力，而且要花费时间，cost一般只用于“花钱”． 20．好的老师、录像带、磁带和字典能有帮助，但它们不能代替学生的练习． |

Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it lately, and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only planting new kinds of crops, but some 1 ways of making money, the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing. Yes, you heard me 2 ! A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100,000 people have 3 to watch the race. “I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday.” one punter (赛马经纪人) told me, “and I thought I'd have a look. I didn't believe it was serious, to tell you the truth.” According to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse 4 , and there are clear favourites. 5 nobody has heard anything about these 6 ! Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any case.” I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite 7 . In a usual sheep race, half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them ar the other end of the 8 just to give them some encouragement, I ought to add! The sheep run surprisingly fast. 9 they have probably not eaten for a while. Anyway, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races. 10 by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.
