At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only speak English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cant communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so youre more independent (独立). People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a persons understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people dont try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.（1）What is the passage mainly about? A . The importance of learning English.B . The benefits of learning another language.C . How to learn foreign languages well.D . The reasons why people come to America.（2）The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to . A . discuss the need for teaching a new languageB . introduce the passages main characters to usC . show the problems of speaking only one languageD . describe the advantages of moving to a new country（3）The underlined phrase multi-language speakers means people who know . A . body languageB . mother languageC . a new languageD . over one language（4）According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can . A . play jokes on your friendsB . communicate more independentlyC . enter the university more easilyD . better understand nature and science（5）Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst? A . Forgetting ones mother language.B . Not knowing another language.C . Refusing to learn another language.D . Spending much time on language.20. （10分）阅读短文，判断正误。 People send birthday greetings by using cards in both eastern and western countries.

In those days people sent birthday cards when they couldnt wish somebody a happy birthday in person.In 1840 the first stamp was used in Britain and sending birthday cards became easier, cheaper and more popular. The development of color printing processes (工艺流程) in the 1930s also helped to increase sales of birthday cards.Today cards are often given with a present, even when people can express their wishes face to face. In recent times e-cards have also become popular. Many people are starting to use e-cards instead of traditional cards because they are free, environmentally friendly and easy to arrive. So will e-cards take place of paper cards completely in ten or twenty years? Probably not.
