Songs from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin, from the Beatles to Eminem and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears have all been enjoyed by people around the world, even for people who dont speak English, and even for people who speak zero English.From my experience, some people listen to English songs for 20-30 years but still dont achieve any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be their main learning method, but most of them fail.Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabulary, but most of these words are unusual ones that you dont use in everyday life. You wont learn the sentence “It is a difficult project. We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs. All you will hear are love, passion, infection, hate and blue, for the feeling, not the color.People like using English songs to practice English skills because its easy and enjoyable. They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day after day will improve their English skills. It actually will not.You will definitely not improve your listening skills because normal people dont speak with a tune. People dont talk like Eminems songs. You cant get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life. They can even confuse you more about how English is pronounced.I would fully encourage you to watch English movies and listen to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of course, you can consume it for fun but not with the aim of improving your English skills. Having good English skills is not that easy. Remember you should work hard to improve your English step by step.51. According to the passage, listening to English songs can help you _.A. improve your English grammarB. speak English more fluentlyC. gain the skills of writingD. learn more new words52. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Most people think it is convenient to learn English by listening to English songs.B. Its hard for people to improve their listening skills by listening to English songs.C. Its a good idea to learn to speak with an English accent by listening to English songs.D. Its rare to hear normal people speak English like they are singing.53. What can we learn about the words in English songs?A. Most of them are vivid and interesting.B. They are seldom used in peoples everyday life.C. English learners should learn more of them.D. They can help people improve their pronunciation.54. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer may be _.A. an experienced English learnerB. a well-known pop singerC. a Chinese music fanD. an American teacher55. The last paragraph is written mainly to _.A. give us some advice on how to learn EnglishB. encourage us to go to see more filmsC. tell us learning English is hard for everyoneD. warn us not to listen to music in our daily lifeBEvery day on the road, accidents are caused. They do not only happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety actions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.56. This passage might be written to . Acollege students Bdrivers Cordinary citizens Dbusinessmen57. “Accident-prone” in Paragraph 2 means . Alikely to have accidents Binjured in accidentsClikely to die in accidents Dresponsible for road accidents58. The passage suggests that . Aaccidents mostly result from slippery roadsBaccidents are usually caused by psychological factorsCdoctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factoriesDabout 50,000 people lost their lives at work in Britain every day59. Which of the following is NOT discussed as a factor of accidents in this passage? AMood BCarelessness CTiredness DWeather60. What do you think would be the best title for the passage? AAccidents and Human BWhy accidents happenCHuman Factors in Accidents DHow to Prevent Accidents CWhether youre headed to another country for business or pleasure, it is likely that you need to keep in touch with family or business partners in the United States. But if you plan to do that using your cell phone, you could have an unwelcome surprise. U,S. cell phones dont work abroad. U.S. companies use different forms of technology, not like most of the international community, including Europe. However, there is an easy, cost-effective solution to staying in touch while youre traveling, You can rent a phone that is guaranteed to work in the countries youre visiting. Roadpost offers a 30-day cell phone rental plan that includes call waiting services, free incoming calls and free voicemail. The service is convenient and simple. You can place your order online and your phone will be shipped to arrive on the date you want. If an unexpected business trip comes up, Roadpost can provide next-day delivery for most cities.
