    　　When you are in Britain, you should know the rules for eye contact．In dealing with strangers the rule for British society is that you must not stare at them but at the same time you cannot take no notice of them．Passing strangers in the street, you may look at the strangers until they are about eight feet away, then your glances must turn away as they pass．Generally speaking strangers feel comfortable looking at one another at a distance．The closer they are, the greater the tendency to avoid eye contact．This can be observed in a crowded lift where strangers’ glances fly from one spot to another．

    　　However, British practice needs eye contact when they are communicating with each other．There is a saying in English, “Don’t trust anyone who won’t look at you in the eye．”Not looking at the person could mean a number of things, including fear, contempt, uneasiness, guilt or indifference．Even for a lecturer speaking to his audience there is plenty of eye contact．To bury one’s nose in one’s writing is not welcome．This is not to say that people talking to one another will look directly into one another’s eyes all the time．British people normally look at the other person’s eyes much longer when they are listening than when speaking．When they are about to stop speaking and start listening they look at the other person’s eyes to signal that they are about to change role．

    　　Staring at people is considered rude in Britain and young children will be scolded by their parents if they look too long at another person．Many English people traveling to some countries find being looked at very uncomfortable．

    　　So, dear friends, when you are in England, you should know when you should look at others and when you shouldn’t．

    There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I don’t mean while you’re unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.

    That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.

    The 5% mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstanding may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.

    Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say. “You have to practice guessing what the word means from the context.”

    This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.

    And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.

    Don’t guess! Look it up!

    1. It is certain that the best way to learn new words is ______.

    A．to learn them by oneself

    B．to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently

    C．to guess them from the context

    D．to get more separate meanings of each word

    2.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.

    A．the 30, 000 words

    B．English teachers

    C．misunderstood words

    D．frequently used words

    3.Which of the following is most likely NOT true?

    A．Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.

    B．Most of the 30, 000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.

    C．How many words the writer got wrong are not known.

    D．All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.

    4.It can be inferred that ______.

    A．when somebody is conscious, he or she usually can’t learn new words by heart

    B．we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them

    C．it’s the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context

    D．only dictionaries can help us learn language well.

    To learn English well you must learn about yourself．You must discover what your own special needs are in English．You should pick out what makes English different from your own language and concentrate on those parts．And above all，you should pick out your own personal weaknesses in English，pick out your own special problems，find out what mistakes you most often make and make a list of them．

    It will be best if，in your preparation，you can practice doing the various sorts of work that you will be asked to do in examination．You should then make a careful note of any mistakes that you make more than once．Count up how many times you make for each mistake，and the mistake you make most often should be at the top of your list，the next most common in the second place，and so on．

    For example．if your native language is Japanese，you may find the problem of articles（冠词）comes at the top of your list．If you speak German，you may find using some of the conjunctions（连词）is your biggest problem．If your mothers tongue is French，you find you are always having trouble with some of prepositions（介词） ．And if Italian is your language，you may constantly forget to use a suitable pronoun when you should．

    But these are only examples of mistakes typical of certain languages．They may or may not be your particular personal mistakes．As I say，these personal ones are the most important of all to discover．

    （    ）1．The most important thing to learn English well is to______．

    A．find out the difference between your own language and English

    B．discover your own special needs in the language

    　　TV is an excellent resource for hearing and listening to English．The pictures help you understand what is being said, and TV news is an ideal way to help improve your listening ability because within a short period of time the same news is often repeated．This means that you can watch basically the same news programme several times within a day, and that every succeeding programme will help you to understand what is being said．

    　　These preparatory steps are very important before your listening：

    　　*Find out which news report you want to listen to, when and on what channel．CCTV 9 is a good choice because this is China's English channel and has regular news reports．

    　　*Just watch the news reports for a few days first, before requiring yourself to understand the stories．Give yourself time to get familiar with the newsreaders and their accents．You should also get an idea of the structure of the entire report as well as the structure of a typical news story．

    　　*Watch the news in Chinese first．This will tell you what the main news items are and help prepare you for understanding news reports in English．

    　　While listening, you should pay attention to a few things that you may try to do：

    　　*You can aim at just getting what a story is about．Give a one-to-two-sentence description after each story．

    　　*Put forward a few questions to yourself about a story, and then seek to answer them from your listening．You can do this．by stopping the tape as soon as the headline is read to you．

    　　*You may write a full transcript(抄本)of a story to practise intensive listening．This may bring notice to listening problems that have skipped your attention when you only concentrate on the content．

    　　Even though the listening part is over, some follow-up activities will help you reinforce(加强)your learning．You may talk about the news with one or more friends．This provides an opportunity to produce a summary or express your thoughts in a brief article．
