Talk to yourself
It may be obvious,but the best way to get better at a language is to speak it.Even if there is no one around to speak to,talk to yourself.Name things as you pass them—chairtelevision,cat,tree,school.Learn basic phrases like—“it is cold today” or “it is sunny today” and use whichever is appropriate when you first look out of the window.This simple language learning tip will help this everyday vocabulary sink in and become second nature.
Talk to friends
Even if they don't speak the language,talk to the people you know in your new language.Warm them in advance that you are practicing your new knowledge and they will know what's coming.Even a simple “good morning” or “see you later” in your new language will make those phrases more natural to you.Your friends may even start to pick up a few phrases as well.
Listen to music
Listen to music in your new language.You'll hear the language used in a real context and this will help you pick out the rhythm and the pronunciation even better.You will also come to further understand and better appreciate the culture behind the language.
Make mistakes
The easiest language learning tip is to try! Go ahead and speak and write! Don't be afraid to make mistakes,because I guarantee you will! In fact,you will learn as much from your mistake as you will learn from your success.Never let the fear of making any mistakes hold you back.Without making any mistakes,how will you ever be fluent or even comfortable with the language?
Find a language club
When you are ready,try to find a language club in your area.Speaking with other people who have already gone through or are still going through the process of learning the language can be extremely helpful.They will give you lots of language learning tips and helpful advice.

Think you can keep a straight face while watching your favorite comedian?Now,the comedy club named Teatre in Barcelona is betting you can't.The club is even basing its ticket prices on how often it can make you laugh.It's said you can get into the club show for free,but every laugh will cost you 38 cents more.Would you like to deliberately keep from laughing in order to save money?
The Teatre club has equipped facialrecognition technology on the back of its chairs.It can track how much each person in their theatre has enjoyed the show.The system was developed by advertising agency The Cyranos McCann,after Teatre asked them to think up a way to increase ticket sales.
A number of people have tried to sit through a comedy show without laughing in an attempt to get a free ticket,but they all failed.Using the new system,the average ticket price per person has so far been $7.58.It seems the pricing system has caught__on,with other theatres in Spain now copying the payperlaugh technology.
It is unclear which kind of facial recognition software is being used,but most use algorithms (算法) to track facial marks on an audience's face.For example,an algorithm can analyze the position,size or shape of the mouth to determine whether a person is laughing,smiling or sad.The comedy club has also launched a mobile app as a method of payment and a payperlaugh season ticket.
James Woron,director of the Club,said,“The idea sounds fun.It'd be a big technical challenge—as people laugh so often,we'd have to put a cash machine by every seat.”

阅读下列材料,从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁:记叙文 话题:学校生活 词数:638 时间:8′
As graduation day approached, excitement increased.Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age.Soon I would be on my own,making my own decisions, doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder and it meant going to school with boys—a welcome change coming from an allgirl high school.
There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a college away from home.My mother's idea, on the other hand, was just the opposite.Trying her best not to force her preferences on me, she would subtly ask whether I had considered particular schools, all of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago.Once it was established that, as long as it was financially affordable, I would be going away anyway, my family's perspective changed.Their concern shifted from whether I was going away to how far.The schools I was considering on the East Coast suddenly looked much more attractive than those in California.
But which college I would attend was just one of what seemed like a neverending list of unknowns:What would college be like?Would I be unbearably lonely not knowing anyone else who was going to the same school?Would the other students like me?Would I make friends easily?Would I miss my family so much that I wouldn't be able to stand it?And what about the work—would I be able to keep up?(Being an A student in high school seemed to offer little assurance that I would be able to survive college.) What if the college I selected turned out to be a horrible mistake?Would I be able to transfer to another school?
Then panic set in.My feelings took a 180degree turn.I really didn't want to leave high school at all, and it was questionable whether I wanted to grow up after all.It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year; I didn't enjoy the idea of being__on__the__bottom__rung__of__the__ladder again.
Despite months of expectation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day.As the familiar music of “Pomp and Circumstance” echoed in the background, I looked around at the other students in white caps and gowns as we solemnly (庄严地) filed into the auditorium (礼堂).Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes, and I was consumed by a rush of sadness.As if in a daze, I rose from my seat when I heard my name called and slowly crossed the stage to receive my diploma (毕业证书).As I reached out my hand, I knew that I was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brandnew life.Exciting as the prospect of a new life seemed, it wasn't easy saying goodbye to the old ones—the familiar faces, the familiar routine.I would even miss that chemistry class I wasn't particularly fond of and the long commute each day between home and school that I hated.Good or bad, it was what I knew.
That September, I was fortunate to attend a wonderful university in Providence, Rhode Island.I needn't have worried about liking it.My years there turned out to be some of the best years of my life.And as for friends, I still treasure some of the friendships I formed there today.Years later, financial difficulties forced my high school to close its doors for good.Although going back is impossible, it's comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.

A.Making her own decision.

.The author's mother ________.
A.didn't care which college her daughter went to
B.tried her best to tell the author which college was her favorite
C.preferred the colleges on the East Coast to those in California
D.was willing to allow the author to make her own choice
答案 C [考查细节理解。由第二段中的The schools I was considering on the East Coast suddenly looked much more attractive than those in California”可知,作者所考虑的在东海岸的那些学校突然间就比那些在加利福尼亚的学校看上去更吸引人。因此,作者的母亲更喜欢离家比较近的在东海岸的学校。]

B.Feeling lonely in an entirely new school may have a negative influence.
C.Unbearable homesickness may stop the author from focusing on study.

答案 A [考查细节理解。由第三段中的“Being an A student in high school seemed to offer little assurance that I would be able to survive college”可知,作为高中时的尖子生似乎并不能保证作者在大学的学习中立于不败之地,作者因此对大学学业感到担忧。故答案选A。]
.What does the underlined part “being on the bottom rung of the ladder” mean?
A.Being a freshman.
B.Being an unpopular student.
C.Being a loser.
D.Being a childish person.
答案 A [考查短语猜测。由第四段中的“It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year;I didn't enjoy the idea...”可知,作者很喜欢作为毕业班学生被学弟学妹们尊重的日子,而到了大学就会变成一名新生(freshman),就没有学弟学妹了。由此推知答案选A。]

B.The author found she was attached to her old school on graduation day.
C.The author missed her chemistry lessons because they were her favorite.

A.Her happiness to be admitted to a wonderful university.
B.Her eagerness to go to a wonderful university far away from home.
C.Her excitement during the months leading to the graduation ceremony.
