To show the importance of education.BWhat is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists, the better. However, it’s wrong.Language is for the exchange (交流) of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes.People s houldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote: “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different fr om those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history,but they make language. But a pers on can only make his own language. It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese learners can learn about grammar, but they shouldn’t focus on it. They should put communication first. Understanding others correctly and expressing themselves freely matter more.5. Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he ______.A．never makes mistakes B．often makes mistakesC．can't avoid making mistakes D．seldom cares about mistakes6．If too many native speakers break a rule，______.A．what they use will become right B．they are against the lawC．they should say sorry to others D．they will become heroes7. Why Bernard Shaw is mentioned in this passage?A. to prove that everybody makes mistakes.B. to prove that foreigners speak English too correctly and they never make mistakes.C. to show that native speakers are not afraid of making mistakesD. to show that foreigners don’t have to be afraid of making mistakes whilespeaking English.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
