 阅读短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

English is very important to us. Here are two tips of learning English.

Read an English book, newspaper or magazine.

Reading is a necessary part of learning a new language, so don't forget to read! Find something you are really interested in whether that's a famous English novel, a copy of The New York Times, or a fashion magazine, and then start working your way through it. If you find the content(内容) boring, you will be less inclined(倾向于······的)to continue with it.

Again, make an active effort to actually understand what you're reading;don't just skim over it. Mark any words or phrases that you don't understand, and then look them up in the dictionary.

If you're alone, you could also try reading aloud. You will get the benefits of reading aloud.For example, this will allow you to improve your reading comprehension(理解力)as well as your pronunciation.

Keep a diary in English.

Besides reading and listening comprehension,you should also spend some time improving your written English skills. This may be one of the most difficult aspects of your language learning, but it is really important. Writing in English will help you to work on your sentence structure,grammar and spelling.

Try to keep an English diary in which you write down a few sentences every day. It doesn't have to be deeply personal. You could write about the weather,what you ate for dinner or what your plans are for the day.If you feel comfortable with it, get a native speaker to look over what you've written and check it for any mistakes. This will help you to avoid making the same mistakes over and over again.

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

 Morse code (密码) is a system of communication that uses dots (●), dashes(), and spaces to represent(代表) the letters and numbers. In Morse code, the letters used often (such as"E") got a simple code, while those letters not often used (such as"Q") got a longer and more eomplex code. For example, letter A is one dot and one dash, letter E is one dot, and letter I is two dots. While letter Q is two dashes, one dot and one dash, and letter Z is two dashes and two dots.

The first message using Morse code was sent by Samuel Morse, one of its inventors, to Alfred Vail on May 24th,

1844. The two men were nearly 65 kilometers away from each other at that time. From then on, the way to communicate with people in far places was changed.

 Morse code is a helpful way to communicate, even in difficult and noisy environments. It can be sent by sounds, light, or in other unexpected ways. Jeremiah Denton Jr. was a prisoner(犯人) of war between 1965 and 1973 As a high ranking officer, he was forced to take part in a TV interview on May 2nd, 

1966. During the broadcast(直播), Denton Jr. pretended (假装) to be blinded by the camera lights in order to blink(眨眼) a Morse code message to those people watching at home.

 Later, Morse code was replaced first by the telephone, then the fax machine, and finally by the Internet. But isn' t it fun to send a message in Morse code to your friends? Give it a try!
