speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call someone who speaks one language? An American.
To people in many countries, being bilingual or even trilingual is a way of life. But since the mother
tongue of most Americans is English-a language widely spoken around the world-they often don"t feel the
need to learn a foreign language. Moreover, people who live in the heartland of America have little contact
with other linguistic groups, making foreign language skills irrelevant.
Actually, though, this"land of immigrants" has always had people of many different nationalities and
languages. The 1990 census indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English at home. Yet
only 3% reported that they spoke English "not well" or "not at all". That means that slightly more than one
out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students and
even some elementary school students are required to take a foreign language as a part of their curriculum.
In addition to old standbys like Spanish, German and French, more and more students are opting (选择)for
Eastern European and Asian languages. Of course, not all students keep up their foreign language abilities.
As the old saying goes, "If you don"t use it, you lose it," But still, a growing number of Americans are coming
to appreciate the benefits of bein multilingual.
B. All Americans speak English very well.
C. Most Americans can only speak one language.
D. In America most students only study one language.
B. Because English, their mother tongue, is a language widely spoken around the world.
C. Because they don"t like foreign languages at all.
D. Because they have poor abilities to learn foreign languages.
B. Trilingual.
C. Language skill.
D. Speaking many languages.
B. Most Americans are studying foreign languages.
C. Most students in America are studying foreign languages.
D. Many elementary, high school and college students are required to learn five languages.

fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.
But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It"s just plain talking, and you talk all the time.
Public speaking is not a "gift" like musical talent or being able to draw. Anybody who can talk can speak in
public. Here are some tips:
Keep it simple. Your audience is going to learn one or two from your main ideas by heart. If you can"t
express, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you don"t have a clear idea of what you want
to say, then your audience will have no interest in your speech. Get organized. No matter how long or short
your speech is, you"d better get your materials in order: how you"re going to start, what major points you
want to make and how you"re going to close. You may often write the last sentence first. When you know
what your aim is, you can choose any ways to get there. A strong close is powerful. The last thing you say
is what your audience will most likely remember.
Keep it short. The standard length of a vaudeville (杂耍) act was 12 minutes. If all those troupers (演员)
want to sing and dance, they may make the audience bored. So make your speech short.
B. Because he considers that when someone speaks in public, he doesn"t bite his finger-nails.
C. Because he considers that people do public speaking all the time.
D. Because he considers that people are not afraid of public speaking.
B. How to make a speech.
C. To talk all the time.
D. How to have a clear idea when you speak.
B. You must say what your audience will most likely remember.
C. You must have a clear idea of what you want to say.
D. You must write the last sentence of your materials first.
B. Anybody who can talk is not frightened of public speaking.
C. The standard length of a speech is 12 minutes.
D. Public speaking is easy. Have a go, and you will make it.
"I"ve always been into bikes, but never thought I"d end up working with them," he says. "This scheme
has changed my life."
Karlos is learning to refurbish (翻新) old bicycles in the workshop of ReCycle Bikes, a local community
(社区) charity in Sheffied, which has a contract with the city council to provide training opportunities for
young people aged 14 to 16, particularly those dropping out of school.
"It"s about engaging youngsters with education and you thtraining by teaching them work and life skills,"
explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. "These young people have so much potential, but often
don"t realize it."
Established in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which, once restored, are
sold for ￡20. Abandoned bikes supplied by the council ensure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently
formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve further the prospects of the young mechanics.
"The student population presents a large and ready market," says Pearce. "So we approached the
university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus. They thought it was a great idea, and
agreed to supplement our council funding. This means we can train youngsters to repair extra 500 bikes
over three years."
Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the career
development of those who have passed through his workshop. "However, in the past we depended on
the evidence of personal accounts from the schools because of lack of human and material resources,"
he says.
That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. "Most kids have
ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a puncture. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the
young and old a sense of freedom and independence, and the impact on their well-being is immense. Add
to that a growing concern for the environment, and it"s no surprise that bike sales are on the increase."
B. It is a local community charity that provides training opportunities for reenagers.
C. It is a contract signed between a local community charity and the city council.
D. It is a training program offered by the city council to those excluded from school.
B. By donations from the public and Sheffield University.
C. By selling bicycles supplied by the city council.
D. By tuition fees from kids aged between 14 and 16.
B. Sheffield University offers many mechanical teachers to ReCycle Bikes
C. heffield University donates a lot of money to ReCycle Bikes
D. teenagers at ReCycle Bikes can study at Sheffield University
B. students disliked telling the truth when asked about their personal ideas
C. ReCycle Bikes didn"t have the ability to track students" career development
D. most of the training organizations did it this way at that moment
When they are having difficulty learning basic literacy and number concepts, when they break rules,
when they need more services, support and adult attention than their peers, then they are struggling the
hardest. In psychology, we are trained to think that if we are feeling angry or confused when sitting with
a patient, then we are probably feeling just what our patient is feeling.The same is true for students with
disabilities. Whatever we feel when we work with them, they are probably feeling as they work with us.
If you have a disability that affects your education, then you have a brain disorder.Because education,
even in mathematics, is largely verbal (用言辞), most brain disorders responsible for educational disabilities
affect language, and how you process words and ideas in written and oral form. To imagine how much
effort a child with a language disability spends each school day, imagine yourself attending a school today
taught in a language you had a basic understanding of. Imagine though, that while you seem fluent to others,
you have trouble when people talk too fast, use idioms or expressions.
When adults and classmates blame, or criticize kids who receive special education, they are struggling
with their own confusion.It is difficult to imagine the world as it is lived by someone with an educational
disability. It is difficult to understand how someone who can be so "normal" can have so many problems.
It is so easy to imagine that if they just tried harder...without understanding that just to do the ordinary, kids
with disabilities are making an extraordinary effort.
B. to think highly of the children with disabilities.
C. to show the disabled have much trouble in understanding.
D. to call on the society to care for the disabled.
B. will work double as hard as a normal.
C. will be as patient as the normal.
D. will think of his disability first.
B. be too foolish to learn maths.
C. not understand what others are saying.
D. have a lot of trouble in remembering words.
B. you should imagine the world he lives in.
C. you should imagine yourself in his shoes.
D. you should think of the education he has received.
that one reason why we"re seeing more stay-at-homw dads may be hat it"s no longer definite that a man
makes more money than his wife. Many families now ake earning power into account when deciding which
parent will stay home.
At that point, one of the male crew members pointed out, almost to himself but loud nough for my benefit,
"It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say hings like that. Usually it"s a code for"My
wife, or any woman is the better parent."
I was a stay-at-home father for 8 years, so his words made me excited. It implied that our family"s choice
could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife.
I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better"
parent if she spent more time with Jack. She would be able to read him wetter and calm him more quickly.
But as the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
Because of the increased time I spent with Jack. I soon knew him well, understood that he needed and
could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, he experience helped me unlock one of
the world"s great secrets; Women are good at booking after children because they do it. It is not because of
any innate (先天的) female talent. It is because they put in the time and attention required to become good at
the job.
Woman obviously get a biological head starting from giving birth and nursing, but ever the long term
experience is more important. When I got the experience myself. I was people are able to look after them as
well besides their moms.

Spain"s "El Gordo," the word"s biggest lottery (彩票), gave out 2.2 billion euros (欧元) (1.6 billion pounds)
in Christmas prizes on Saturday.
El Gordo, Spanish for "The Fat One", is designed so that as many people as possible across Spain get a
festive windfall. The top prize this year was 3 million euros -- going to the series of tickets with the magic
number 06381.
Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the
full prize.
The biggest share of winning tickets was bought by people in the town of Nava, in the north-western
Asturias region.
The draw lasts three-and-a-half hours and is carried live on national television with children from the San
Ildefonso school, a former orphanage in Madrid, in turn chanting the winning numbers and the amount won.
Lotteries have two centuries of history in Spain. The country spent 2.87 billion euros on the lottery -- 5.7
percent more than last year. Seventy percent is paid out in prizes. Most of the rest goes in costs. Eight out of
ten Spaniards bought tickets for the lottery, spending on average 64 euros. Spaniards often choose lottery
numbers matching significant dates although there was no particular favourite in 2007. In 2006, one of the
most sought-after series was 22105, the date on which Fernando Alonso became Formula 1 world champion
for the second year running.
