Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hangin g onto her skirts. She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs by herself, like milking the cows. She even learned to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.
When she was seven, she invented over 60 different signs which she could talk to her family. For example, if she wanted some bread, she would pretend to cut a piece and put some butter on it. If she wanted some ice cream, she put her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.
Helen soon learned to read and write in Braille. She also learned to read people’s lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement. She also learned to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.

Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about 3000 languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.
There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages
of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of tod ay is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time, some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago, English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.
If a language has a number of speakers, or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialect s. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of people. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of Ch ina can’t understand spe akers from other parts.

A. Chinese is the language with the most speakers.
B. English was a well-known relative of German spoken on one of the borders
of Europe.
C. A language has many speakers, but there may be no differences in the way it
is spoken in different areas.

other parts.

(C)
The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the
time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer t han nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
( )41.When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is
having ______.
A. both day and night
B. day
C. neither day nor night
D. night
( )42.A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by _____ of the earth.
A. the pushing
B. the pulling
C. the spinning
D. the passing
( )43.At the equator day is as long as night ______.
A. sometimes B .never
C. usually
D. always
( )44.When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ______ su nlight.
A .less B. more C. all D. no
( )45.When it is winter in China, ______.
A. the USA is tilted toward the sun
B. the South Pole is tilted away from the sun
C. the North Pole is tilted toward the sun
D. the North Pole is tilted away from the sun

Learning English is not an easy job. Almost every student sometimes asks questions like these：46 Can I really learn it well enough to talk with others?
The answer is yes. From some studies we know that almost anyone can learn a foreign language well if he or she wants to. Some might learn it faster and some might learn it slower. 47 But anyone can learn it well if he or she has the right ways.
Many students have their own special ways in learning English. The following are some examples. Han Mei gets up early every morning and the first thing she does is to listen to an English radio program. 48
Lin Tao often practices speaking English in class. 49 After trying several times, he found it was not as difficult as he thought. He is more active and now he speaks English best among his classmates.
Wang Bin likes to watch American movies. 50 And he also likes to read English aloud.
A. This has really helped improve her English in listening.
B. He will watch it many times if it is a good film.
C. Can I really learn English well?

It is Interesting to Learn English
I did really well in English. That is something I have always enjoyed. My interest in English started when I was seven. My father bought me a CD. It was a cartoon film in English. Though I didn’t understand it. I could imagine every drawing in the cartoon, and I guessed what the story was about. At the same time I also dreamed I could speak English one day. How wonderful it would be! So when I started to learn English at school, I made up my mind to study hard at it.。
