With his standard Mandarin pronunciation, practiced skills on Chinese expressions and special humour with a Peking accent, Dashan has become a household name across China．
People have always wondered how the 36-year-old Canadian can be so skillful in the Chinese language even though it is considered by many as one of the most difficult languages in the world．But to Dashan, the great challenge was a piece of cake due to his deep interest, proper method and the excellent environment he created for himself.
“Interest is the best teacher.” That is a universal principle. Even if the 20-year-old Mark Rowswell--Dashan's real name--hadn't fully realized what attracted him to the Chinese department at the University of Toronto in Canada, he was already deeply interested in Chinese culture when he decided to have further study in Beijing.
Entering the Chinese department of Peking University in 1988, Dashan felt like a duck in water. Study is always a hard job, no matter how much interest you have. Therefore, effective ways are necessary to improvement. “Learn for life and learn in life”is Dashan's belief.
As a freshman at the University of Toronto, the student did study textbooks, which especially aimed on foreign Chinese learners. They did help him build to solid foundation.
However, that's far from enough to grasp the Chinese language. Starting in his junior year, Dashan began to read original Chinese novels, Chinese newspapers and even the selected works of Deng Xiaoping. “Only the material for Chinese native readers could give me a proper sense of the language,” he said．
The language that is the daily means of communication is the principle that Dashan always keeps in his mind．What you have really learned depends on what you can use, not necessarily your textbooks.
To learn in daily life requires a favourable language environment which is also necessary for improvement. Dashan admits it is hard for Chinese English learners to be brought into a good English speaking environment, but insists, “to listen and speak as much as possible does help.”
To help Chinese English learners develop a favourable environment, Dashan took part in a VCD programme--“Travel with Dashan”--to teach daily and up-to-date English in real-life situations.
(1)Dashan could learn Chinese very well because of ________.
[ ]
A．his interest
B．practiced skills on Chinese expression
C．his special method
D．Special humour with a Peking accent
(2)The sentence “learn for life and learn in life” here means________
[ ]
A．learn things in our daily life, otherwise it will not last long.
B．we should study in practice all our lives
C．life is difficult, so we'd better learn more to lead a better life
D．language is the necessary part of our daily life, so we must practise it frequently
(3)The main idea of the passage is ________.
[ ]
A．Dashan has become a household name across China
B．how can we master a foreign language in a short time.
C．dashan took park in a VCD programme“Travel with Dashan” to teach English in real-life situation
D．try to learn English under the direction of Dashan, and you'll succeed one day.
(4)The underlined phrase“a piece of cake” here refers to ________.
[ ]
(5)Dashan read the selected works of Deng Xiaoping because ________.
[ ]
A．he admired the former leader of the government
B．he hoped to learn more of the spirits of it
C．he wanted to give him a proper sense of the Chinese language
D．They are very popular in modern times
