When I met my host (主人) mum at the airport, she asked, “Do you want to go to the bathroom?” I was not sure what she was asking. I thought bathroom meant shower room, so I answered, “No, I forgot to take the soap (肥皂)!” Later I knew “bathroom” meant “toilet”.

Eric: Before I went to the US, I thought that everything in the US was large: tall people, big meals and large clothes. When I first got to my school, I was surprised by the size of the school: there was only one building with three floors. And there were fewer than 500 students in the school.

22、   All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in tea houses. They prefer their tea with nothing else in it.

Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony （仪式）. It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.

Another tea-drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “Teatime”. Most of English have cups of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot （茶壶）and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime.

In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals.Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea—“iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda（汽水）.

24、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

Learning a new language is never easy—and it will be even more difficult for you to learn it well if you make these three common mistakes below.

You do not practice listening enough.

The same way as how babies learn to speak, we learn a language 【1】 listening and repeating what we hear. Language learners need to practice listening. It’s difficult to do it if you don’t live abroad or have language classes. So you need to find a way. There are some interesting ways, such as 【2】 to English radio programs and watching English movies or TV show.

You are not curious(好奇的)enough.

In language learning, interest the most important. If you 【3】 interested in the language you are learning, you may never learn it well no matter how hard you try. If the language itself does not seem interesting to you, try to get to know more about the culture(文化) behind 【4】. The words, phrases and sentences will come back to life 【5】 you hear them from the people that are speaking it instead of reading them from books.

You are not brave enough.

It doesn’t matter how well you can write in the language or if you can get good 【6】 in a test. To learn, improve, and truly use the language, you need to speak it out loud. “I am really shy.” “I am 【7】 that others will laugh at me.” “I get cold feet when I speak in public.”… These are just excuses for not trying. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. The more you practice speaking in front of others, the less difficult it will get.

A wise man said, “You live a new life for every new language you speak. If you know only one language, you live only 【8】. “So stop making these mistakes and try to enjoy the fantastic world the new language brings you!
