English when I was six years old in primary school. I was always one of the best students in class. But
my English was still very bad.
In 1993, I went to high school. It is the best high school in my city. A lot of classes are taught in
English. I took the advice of my English teacher. I bought a good Polish-English dictionary. I started to
study American pronunciation. I watched American TV and movies. So I was getting better and better at
understanding spoken English. I also learnt some words and phrases (短语) that I could use in my own
sentences. In class, I would like to talk to the American teacher. When I spoke, I used simple grammar
to avoid (避免) mistakes.
During the summer vacation of 1994, I started reading books in English. But I realized I needed a
way to have a larger vocabulary. Then I began to use a computer program to learn English words. The
program was called Super Memo. Because of all the reading and Super Memo, my vocabulary was no
longer my weakness. Then I started writing e-mails and talk only in English with some of my friends.
Today, English is my "second native language". When I speak, I sound very much like an American.

look for a famous church, but they didn’t know how to get there. They stopped a
man and asked.
"Excuse me, can you tell us the way to the North Church?"
"Go three blocks (街区)and turn to your left. he said,"you can"t miss it."
So the Englishmen walked three blocks and turned to their left. But they
didn"t see any church. They then asked a second man.
"Excuse me , but we"re trying to find the North Church."
This one said, "Go three blocks and turn to your left."But again they
couldn"t find the church. In the end they asked a third man,"Excuse me, please,
could you tell us how to get to the North Church?"
"Go three blocks and turn to your left, you can"t miss it."
They walked three blocks and turned to their left for a third time. This time
they found the church.
"Is everything in Boston three blocks and a left turn?" they asked
themselves.
Just then a man walked over to them."Excuse me."the man said,"Where is
the East Park? can you tell me?"
"Go three blocks and turn to your left,"one of the Englishmen said,
"you can"t miss it."

Hawking said the book will be "a bit like Harry Potter" but without the magic. "It explains the wonders
of the universe(宇宙)," said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong last week.
Hawking, 64, is probably the world"s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on
black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe.
"My goal is simple," Hawking once said. "It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is
and why it is there at all."
Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no
way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).
Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers
to control the computer"s mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a
voice synthesizer(音响合成器).
I have had the disease for most of my life," Hawking once said. "Yet it has not stopped me from being
successful at my work."
Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many
awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is
the highest achievement in theoretical physics(理论物理).
B. is quite different from Harry Potter.
C. about the magic
D. about science
B. Hawking is less famous than Einstein
C. Both Hawking and Einstein are very famous
D. Neither Hawking nor Einstein is famous
B. The magic.
C. The universe.
D. The book.
B. The illness keeps him from moving and talking.
C. He communicates with others by speaking.
D. The illness stopped him from being successful.
B. A Famous Book
C. Live as Hawking Does
D. A Clever Man

had a problem. I was dyslexic (诵读困难的). I had difficulty reading words. I felt embarrassed
(尴尬的) about it and didn"t want others to know it. Every time in restaurants I pretended (假装) that I
could understand menus and ordered something that almost every restaurant could have. Luckily, I
succeeded every time. This time I did as usual. I had a look at the menu and asked for a dish of vanilla
ice cream. I thought it was safe. A place like this bar should have this kind of ice cream. But as soon as
Lisa heard me, she said, "Didn"t you read the menu? There isn"t any vanilla ice cream at all." After I heard
this, my face turned red. And I had to tell them the truth. "Dyslexia is quite common, Betty. My friend"s
daughter had this problem four years ago, but she is better now," Lisa"s mother said to me. Then she
passed me a business card and said, "Go to see this doctor! Believe me! He can help you." I am better
now. I understand that sometimes it isn"t the thing itself but what we have done that makes us embarrassed. I have learned to face my problems. I won"t escape (逃避) from them anymore.
