阅读理解

Some of Paul's schoolmates learn two languages—English and French. So does Paul. As an Englishman, Paul can also speak German and Spanish. So, do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren't.

The survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That's why British people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means at school learning a foreign language is only anoption. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good results in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this problem, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to have a try!

At this store,people looked around and chose their own goods. My mother was putting her things into shopping bags4 without talking to others. Suddenly a5 came up to her and said, "Here is the cup that you put back. " Then she6 my mother the cup. My mother asked for the woman's name and7 so that she could repay her by post (邮寄). But the woman told her the cup was her gift.

I learned a lot from my mother, a great woman. When I was a child, she always told me, "Sharing 1 is an easy act. You don't have to do much to make others happy." I didn't fully understand it until my friend Helen told me about her amazing trip to a small town called Gary. Then, I 2 to go there, too.

However, my parents didn't 3 at first when knowing my plan. They said I didn't know much about the place. They worried about my 4 there. After I told my plan to them in detail(详细地), they 5 said yes.

After arriving in Gary, I 6 the town was so different from where I lived. There were few stores or restaurants in the town, so you would be 7 enough to find a place to buy food or drinks. Houses were built on small hills and 8 of them had broken doors or windows. My job was to help the local people to9 their houses. The workdays were long and hot, 10 it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day.

The kids there were also different. They seemed to enjoy every moment in life though they were poor. The small things could make them 11 . I couldn't find words to describe their joy when they received an ice cream, a ball or 12 a hug. The community was like a big family. Everyone knew each other and was ready to 13 help. 

What a wonderful 14 I had in Gary! I truly learned the 15 of what my mother said, "You don't need to do much to make others happy."
