D

We can make mistakes at any age . Some mistakes we make are about money . But most mistakes are about people . “ Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen ?” “ When I got that great job , did Jim really feel good about it , as a friend ? Or did he envy my luck ?” When we look back , doubts like these can make us feel bad . But when we look back , it’s too late .

Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies ? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning . And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words . Suppose someone tells you , “ You’re a lucky dog ,” and that’s being friendly . But “ lucky dog ”? There’s a bit of envy in those words . Maybe he doesn’t see it himself . But bringing in the “dog ” bit puts you down a little , what he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck .

“ Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ” is another noise that says one thing and means another . It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole . But is he ? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important . It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night .

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words ? One way is to take a good look at the person talking . Do his words fit the way he looks ? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice ? His posture ? The look in his eyes ? Stop and think . The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake .

68. This passage is mainly about_______.

A. how to understand what people say

B. what to do when you listen to others talking

C. why we go wrong with people and how to avoid these mistakes

D. why we go wrong with people sometimes

69. According to the author , the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that_______.

A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk

B. people tend to be angry when we check what they say

C. people usually state one thing but mean another

D. we tend to doubt what our friends say

70. The underlind word “ it ” in the second paragraph refers to_______ .

A. being friendly     B. a bit of envy     C. lucky dog     D. your luck

71. When we listen to a person talking , the most important thing for us to do is _______.

A. notice the way the person is talking

B. take a good look at the person talking

C. mind his tone , his posture and the look in his eyes

In urban China,where English is almost the official second language,many Chinese people have learned to speak as professionally as native speakers. However they may have an accent and make a few minor grammatical mistakes.Years ago many people used a certain Chinese-English dictionary or a series of textbooks and accepted their teachings. Consequently,language learners developed a peculiar vocabulary. Some people call these word choices “Chinglish”. The words are not incorrect—native speakers still understand them—but they stand in the way of using standard English. Here are some common examples, both from written and spoken English:
Clever (adj.): Native speakers usually say “smart” instead. “Smart” is a broader and more common word. “Clever” suggests an ability to think your way out of a specific problem or take advantage of a specific situation. Being smart serves you for life.
Examination(n.): Use “exam”, the short form of it, or the more common word, “test”. (The verb for all three words is “take”.) Another word you may hear is “quiz”. It means a short and relatively unimportant test that the teacher often gives as a surprise.
Film: This is largely a technical word. The common term is “movie”. (Native speakers often say “short film for the movie”.)
House (n.): a stand-alone building with its own street entrance that is home to one family. A home in a building full of families is an “apartment” or a “flat”. When in doubt, just say “home”.
Puzzled (adj.): We use this word to describe mild reactions to difficult math problems, and not even very often for this purpose (we say “I’m stumped” or “I have no idea” instead). But when we’re addressing a life issue such as whether to pursue (从事) a graduate education or go straight to work, we say “confused”. This is a stronger word as well as a more common one.
49. The writer wrote this passage to______.
A. prove there are so many Chinese people learning English in a wrong way
B. teach us to choose correct and exact English words to express ourselves
C. tell people that if we want to speak English as well as native speakers we must memorize as many English words as possible
D. explain what Chinglish is
50. According to the passage, which of the following is more common?
A. Would you like to go to the film tonight?
B. He will take an examination next week.
C. Tom is cleverer than his brother.
D. He felt confused whether he would go abroad for further study.
51. This passage suggests that______.  
A. native speakers say “I’m puzzled with this math problem.” more often used than they say “I’m stumped with the math problem.”
B. the word “home” is much often used than the word “house” in spoken and written English
C. the word “examination” is more common than its short form“exam”
D. we can say “do a quiz”
52. We can infer from the passage that______.  
A. native speakers can understand “Chinglish”
B. saying “take a test” is more common
C. to English learners, developing more English vocabulary doesn’t mean speaking good English
D. it’s easy to learn English words well
