own language well 77 when we are children. If we could learn a second language 78 in the same way, it would not seem such difficult. 79 Think of what little children do. They listen what people 80 say and try to imitate(模仿)what they hear. That 81 is important to remember that we learn our own language 82 with hearing people speak it. In school though you learn 83 to read and write as good as to hear and speak, it is 84 best to learn all new word through the ears. 85

years. Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use. But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity(普及) has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses. Computers have been designed to store information and computer problems that are difficult for human beings to work out. Some have voices that speak with the operators. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories(库存货物) and to send bills to their customers. Offices use computers to copy letters, record business and keep track(足迹) of the money they spend.

One important new use for computers is for entertainment(娱乐). Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games. People also have been buying home computers to play computer games, watch movies and listen to concerts at home. They have become very popular indeed.

Computers used to ______.

A．work rapidly

B．be large and expensive

C．be used for fun

D．be easy to use

Changes in Museums

Museums have changed. They are no longer places that one "should" visit, they are places to enjoy and learn.

At a science museum in Ontario, Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Metropolitan (大城市的) Museum of Art in New York City, you can look at the seventeenth century instruments while listening to their music. At New York's American Museum of Natural History recently, you can help make a bone-by-hone reproduction of the museum's dinosaur(恐龙), a beast that lived 200 million years age.

More and more museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, for example, there are no guided tours. The visitor is encouraged to touch, listen, operate, and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science. The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it, and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.

One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time. Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population. Many of these young people are college students or college graduates. Leon F. Twiggs, a young black professor of art once said, "They see things in a new and different way, They are not satisfied to stand and look at works of art; they want art they can participate(参加) in." The same is true of science and history.

When visiting museums nowadays, people can take part in many activities.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Not mentioned

laces to enjoy.

At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Children's Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no "Do Not Touch" signs in some other museums in the USA.

More and more museum directors have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so as to discover scientific rules for themselves.

The purpose is not only to provide fun, but also help people feel at home in the world of science. If people don't understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it.

One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time. Another cause is the growing number of young people in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history.

The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new and modern museums. In the United States and Canada, there are more than 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.

The directors of the museums have realized ______.

A．the importance of scientific rules

B．people learn best when they look at something

C．visitors prefer to learn from museums

D．the museums need changes

common. And once we know what it is we can try to do it ourselves.

How is it done？ Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.

First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answera question. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. And to find out what sort of person you are talking to, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.

Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. Real listening also means not just listening to words but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.

Finally, good talkers know well now to deal with the occasion of parting. If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.

Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way______.

A．for you to make more and more new friends

B．to begin your business talks

C．to get the conversation going smoothly

D．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others

听力原文： Despite various improvements in all aspects of social life, the generation gap between the grown-up and young remains unbridged. Instead, it grows wider apart.

Nowadays, the youths do not blindly follow what their elders say. Owing to the widespread of education, the influence of western civilization, to a certain extent, gives them a new code of philosophy, which is completely different from that of their elders. An invisible cold wall thus appears between the two generations.

Modern youths are trying to be more revolutionary. They have their own interpretation for different matters; they also have their own ideals. Their reluctance to learn old teachings and sayings becomes the constant friction between the two generations. They always introduce new changes. However, the old people, wedded to everything of the past, are hostile to changes and the generation gap becomes wider and wider.

After all, the young generation, like the old one, is made of flesh and blood. The young also need respect and they also have skills and good ideas. In order to narrow the gap, both groups should respect each other, listen to the words of each other. Most probably, these may help to solve the problem.

(23)

A．Generation gap.

B．Modem youths.

C．Influence of western civilization.

D．Social improvements.

根据下列文章,请回答 23～30 题。

Health Promotion

1 World health will improve only if the people themselves become involved” in planning，implementing，and having a say about their own health and health care．But．1nvolvement．will not just happen．

2 How serious are we about involving individuals，families，and communities？ Are we prepared—mentally and professionally(专业上)-to Listen to their concerns，to learn from them what they feel 5is important，to share with them appropriate information，to encourage and support them？ In many cases, SO far, the answer is‘N0’．We can go on and on developing plans：nothing will happen unless all health workers，all heath managers．and key professionals(专业人员)in other areas come to realize what is at stake．To overcome these particular stumbling-blocks(障碍物)。I see three major requirements．

3 First health workers must understand that the concept of primary health care involves new roles for them，and a new outlook(观点)．Not only should we be concerned with disease prevention and control。we must also be concerned with health promotion and care，and not least with development in general—and with people．Our health technologies must be based on what the people themselves want and need．

4 Second，health workers must accept their new roles。More yet：they must be keen to try them out．to broaden their scope and to innovate(创新)in the partnership(合伙人，合作关系)approach．Their main concern must be to find ways of helping individuals and communities become self-dependent．

5 This brings me to my third point：health workers must have the necessary skills to perform. these new roles effectively and to make efficient use of existing knowledge．This calls for a training force fully familiar with previous experience and keen to provide the kind and quality of professional preparation needed．It also calls for full support from health manage for such training．
