　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　What is the best way to learn a language.

　　We should remember that we all learn our own language well when we were children.

　　If we could learn a second language in the same way.

　　It would not seem so difficult.

　　Think of what a small child does.

　　He listens to what people say and he tries to imitate what he hears.

　　When the child wants something, he has to ask for it.

　　He is using the language,talking in it,

　　and thinking it all the time.

　　If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly.

　　We learn or own language by hearing people speak it

　　not by seeing what they write.

　　We imitate what we hear.

　　In school,though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak

　　it is best to learn all the new words through the ear.

　　You can read them, spell them, and write them later.

　　11. How does a small child learn to speak?

　　13. What should we do first to learn new words according to the passage?

　　Passage Two

　　Living things take from their environment and give back to their environment.

　　In other words, living things and their environment are interdependent.

　　Living things take matter and energy from the environment

　　and return matter and energy to the environment.

　　For instance,animals feed on plants,or on other animals.And they return materials to the environment.

　　This interaction goes on continually.

　　Man also is in active give-and-take relations with his environment.

　　However,there is one way in which man is different.

　　Other living things do not change their environment the way man does.

　　Man is not only adapted to the environment.

　　He alters his environment in other complex ways.

　　How is it that man can alter his environment.

　　as no other living thing can.

　　It is because of his brain.

　　With his brain, man learns.

　　Mans brain makes it possible for him to record what he learn.

　　He puts his records in words,in pictures,in sounds.

　　In this way man can pass on what he learns to other men.

　　14.Whats the relationship between living things and their environment?

　　15.Whats the difference between man and other living things according to the passage?

　　16.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

　　Passage Three

　　Many large cities are anything but beautiful

　　Streets are littered with trash.

　　In this trash, however, there is still something that can be useful.

　　If people want to solve the problem of waste

　　there is no time to be lost.

　　They must work out ways of making use of good things which are just thrown away as waste.

　　When a car gets too old,it may not run any more.

　　But the metal that the car was made of is still good.

　　It can be put to use again.

　　When a bottle is empty, it goes out in the trash.

　　Garbage from food can be changed into fertilizer.

　　But bottle glass can be ground into sand and used to pave street.

　　But first you have to fish out all the glass and metal.

　　Garbage can also be a good source for making building block

　　which are then covered with concrete.

　　Now,more and more machines are designed for this purpose.

　　Some day,people will watch films in a magnificent cinema which has been built out of garbage.

　　Future buildings,roads,and cities may be made form garbage.
