My threeyearold son came to me and asked me why I was crying. I 1silent as I couldnt explain to him it was just an emotional（情感的） thing. To my surprise, he2my face with his little hand and said, Dear Mom, stop crying! You see3will be fine. Youre my good girl. So just get up and lets get ready for school. On hearing him saying this to me I could not help4. It was so funny for a child to say so. Later I5that he had repeated almost the6thing that I told him when he was crying.The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to7what his parents have been telling him for a long time. Usually parents8with the words Mama Papa and so on. But as the child continues learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being9we as parents always10hes still being guided by us. The only11is that were now doing that in a more passive （被动的）way than before. We always use words that we dont want our child to say, and when he says those words, we12where he has learned them. Even then, some of us dont realize that the child has learned the words only from13only. Instead, we start to put the blame （ 指责） on either his friends or somebody who has talked to him when we are not present.So if you want your child to have perfect14, youll have to set a good example to him. And if you cant do this, you have no right to expect your child to have such a thing.

Take the sentence How do you do? for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to learn the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.She only likes apples. Only she likes apples.I have seen the film already. I have already seen the film.When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.（1）According to the passage we know that _ when we are learning English.A . we shouldnt put every word into our own languageB . we should look up every word in the dictionaryC . we need to put every word into our own languageD . we must read word by word（2）What s the writers opinion in learning English?A . Its difficult to understand different sounds.B . Its impossible to remember the word order.C . Its important to learn the rules in different ways.D . Its easy to learn the rules for word order.（3）If the speakers put words in a wrong order, _.A . it must be a right sentenceB . the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easilyC . the meaning of the sentence always changesD . the meaning of a sentence must be the same（4）Which of the following sentences has the same meaning as She only likes apples ?A . Only she likes apples.B . She doesnt like any fruits but apples.C . She likes fruit except apples.D . she doesnt like apples.（5）Which is the best title for this passage?A . Different Orders, Different MeaningsB . How to Speak EnglishC . How to Put English into Our Own LanguageD . How to Learn English四、 根据句意及汉语提示或所给词语完成句子。 (共1题；共1分)24. （1分）Today Im not freeIm a_I can t go to your party,Molly 五、 用适当的词或句子补全对话。 (共1题；共5分)25. （5分）补全对话。（A）A: Can you tell me something about Egyptian pyramids?B: Sure.
