26、There are five keys to success in learning a foreign language.

Spend the time.

By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed(浸入) in the language.

【1】This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.

Listen and read every day.

Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player.【2】 Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.

【3】

Build up your vocabulary, you’ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.

Take responsibility for your own learning.

If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. 【4】Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up.

【5】

Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or can’t yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you can’t control. So just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.

A．Relax and make sure of the time spent with the language.

B．Focus on words and phrases.

C．Read what you are listening to.

D．Chat with others in the language on the Internet.

E．If you do want to learn the language, take control.

F．The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn.

G．There are hundreds of easy conversations for you to practice speaking.

27、Three Feet From Gold

Darby’s uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold – rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore(矿石).He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So, with the “strike”, he returned home. And with the help of Darby, he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the machinery and having it shipped, Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.

The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!

Then something happened! The vein(矿脉) of gold ore disappeared! They drilled on, but all in vain. Finally, they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer’s calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek experts’ advice before giving up.

Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was years in doing so.

Long afterwards, Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune, for he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work, saying to himself, “I stopped three feet from gold, but I never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.”

Darby sold more than million dollars in life insurance annually. He owes his “stick-ability” to the lesson he learned from his “quit-ability” in the gold mining business.

【1】Darby’s uncle went back home to _________.

A．receive his reward

B．seek financial support

C．look for more helpers

D．consult an engineer

【2】From the passage, we can know Darby _________.

A．was unable to pay off the debts

B．mined his gold from the failure

C．learned a lesson from selling insurance

D．devoted himself to making new discoveries

【3】The author intends to tell us that _______.

A．hopes and difficulties exist side by side

B．correct decisions stem from correct judgment

C．we should catch it when opportunity comes

D．we won’t reach our goal unless we insist

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.

One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.

Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
