Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation (发音) will be excellent．Just send …" and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that．The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue．And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature (文学) of the country．
Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want．Every year many millions of people start learning one．How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes．If they use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school．A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day．
It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken．However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary．They need the language in order to do their work better．For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able toread books and reports in the foreign language．Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work．Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students' work for them．
（1）Before the Second World War people learned a foreign language in order to ________．
A . speak to each other
B . listen to the radio
C . read something they didn't know
D . write the literature of the other country
（2）The easiest way for us to learn a foreign language is ________．
A . using the language six or more hours a day
B . learning the language at school
C . studying the language in the foreign country
D . reading the foreign stories as many as possible
（3）The passage mainly tells us that
A . the more you practise, the quicker you'll learn the language
B . it is possible for you to learn a foreign language in six weeks
C . it is not good for you to learn a foreign language by yourself
D . the quicker you learn a foreign language, the more you must pay for it

Jaden is a six-year-old boy. He experienced the unlucky things of life twice. First he lost his dad when he was four and his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep last month. Jaden's heart was broken. His parents' death hit him a lot.
But things always go towards a good side. A few weeks later, Jaden told his aunt that he was tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. He'd like to see more smiles around him. He hoped that the number of the smiles could reach 100.
Then he asked his aunt to buy him some little toys and take him to the center of the city. “I'm trying to make people smile,” said Jaden.
