25、Swimming and English Learning

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well， how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice， practice and practice.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed， try to catch every word.

Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well， you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with， you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember， the more you speak， the fewer mistakes you’ll make.

Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.

Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

Easier said than done. Well， let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.

【1】 You can learn to swim by_______.

A. reading books about it B. looking at others swimming

C. having lessons on it D. going into the river and learning

【2】 We should learn English by _______.

A. listening and speaking B. reading and writing

C. A and B   D. swimming

【3】What will you do with mistakes when you speak?

A. Don’t make mistakes.   B. Study hard.

C. Try not to speak English.   D. Don’t be afraid.

【4】What’s more important for senior school students?

A. listening   B. speaking

C. reading and writing D. learning

【5】We can listen to English ______， according to the passage.

A. by train   B. on the radio

C. every minute   D. now and then

27、On Nov 8, Wang Yaping, a female astronaut (宇航员) of Shenzhou XIII, became China’s first and the world’s 16th female space walker. The expected six-month journey in space has left many curious about the differences between male and female astronauts, especially in terms of performing extravehicular (舱外的) activities (EVAs). Except body challenges, female astronauts have special advantages.

Understanding between astronauts is very important for carrying out EVAs, which is based on excellent communication skills. Women are better in communication and language expression, and this helps female astronauts do extravehicular activities, according to Yang Yuguang, head of Space Transportation Committee.

Men and women are different in body size, which also gives women special advantages for spacewalks. “Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as women will be able to control their weight better and perform different kinds of tasks,” Pang told China Daily.

Women in general weigh less, eat less food, use less oxygen(氧气), and therefore require less fuel(燃料) to get into space. An astronaut must weigh between 55 kilograms and 70 kilograms to fit in the cabin (舱) of spacecraft and use less fuel, according to CGIN.

A different body shape requires a different spacesuit. A spacesuit was prepared for Wang’s extravehicular activities, which was lighter than the males’. Designers optimized the pattern of this spacesuit in the lower part area to make it more suitable for astronauts with slimmer bodies.

According to Pang, many studies have found that female astronauts are more suitable for space tasks, and have advantages over male astronauts in qualities such as attention to detail and thinking thoughtfully .

Men do better in shorter-term, goal-oriented (目标导向的) situations while women are better in longer-term habitation-type (居住类) situations, according to National Geographic.

Women’s taking part in EVAs is an important part of space tasks, and we are seeing history thanks to Wang’s bravery, according to Yang.

【1】What do we know about Wang’s extravehicular activities?

A．She is the first ever female space walker.

B．The spacesuit she wore was specially designed.

C．The task was planned to show female’s advantages.

D．She performed some tasks that her male partners couldn’t do.

【2】What does the underlined word “optimize”in Paragraph 5 mean in this passage?

A．make something better

B．make something worse

C．make something colourful

D．make something colourless

【3】Which of the following is an advantage females have over male astronauts?

A．Females have better communication skills.

B．Female bodies are stronger and more smart.

C．Females can be used to the life in space more quickly.

D．Females deal with goal-oriented situations better than males.

【4】What’s the main idea of the article?

A．The challenges female astronauts face during a spacewalk.

B．The difficulty of females doing extravehicular activities.

C．The advantages of females doing extravehicular activities.

D．The preparations for the females to carry out space mission.
