Ziyuanku.com(2015·广西南宁二模)Neil Gaiman is an English author of lots of science fiction and fantasy works.1.________His argument is that children shouldn’t be discouraged from reading what adults may think of as bad books.He is dead right.
A child in a library is an explorer venturing into a land where he has no map to guide him.This is part of the excitement.Everything is new.2.________His taste is yet unformed,and it cannot be formed until he has tried a variety of thing.
Not knowing what books are good or bad,an eager child will try very different things.3.________At the age of eleven or twelve,I still read Enid Blyton Stevenson’s Kidnapped,was happily terrified by ghost stories and desperately wanted to be Rupert of Hentzau,a most attractive evil character in literature.
A child reads for enjoyment from all sorts of books.I can’t remember when I stopped reading comics like the Wizard and Hotspur,but I’m pretty sure that my reading of them continued even while I was delighted in Sherlock Holmes or in the short stories of HG Wells.

(2016·齐鲁名校高三第一次联考)Does this situation seem familiar to you?Your English is progressing well,the grammar is now familiar,the reading comprehension is no problem,you are communicating quite fluently.1.________
First of all,remember that you are not alone.Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language.So,the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
2.________The Internet is really a useful tool for English students.You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com,which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis,you might still be frustrated by limited understanding.3.________
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
Keep cool when you do not understand—even if you continue not to understand for a long time.
4.________Don’t concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea.
5.________This approach usually results in confusion.Translating leads to a kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn’t allow us to understand anything at all!

B.What should you do?

D.This situation leads to less—not more—understanding.

F.Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
G.But listening is STILL a problem.
