ESL and EFL
Although the methods introduced by using the example of learning English as a second or foreign language, I have used them to learn various other languages and they are based upon research which is cross cultural and has now occurred across many different language groups. The resources have been written in order to help both teachers and language learners. The targets include offering assistance for:
Learning language quickly and effectively.
Using educationally sound, well targeted learning methodologies.
Developing appropriate goals and using methodologies which support those goals.
Ensuring that study schedules are effective.
Studies of language over the past hundred, and particularly the past thirty years have shown that the many languages of the world have certain common characteristics:
Strengths of Human Languages
Humans have a natural, innate ability to acquire and create language.
Language is fluid — it changes quickly.
Focusing on how to use a language is by far the fastest way to acquire the ability to effectively communicate in that language.
Language learners learn primarily from their peers, even when the peers are also learners.
The targets to help both teachers and language learners include all of the following BUT
A.learning language quickly and effectively.
B.using educationally sound, well targeted learning methodologies.
C.developing appropriate methodologies that support the new ideas.
D.ensuring that study schedules are effective.
In addition, Americans may need to place a strong value on cooperation on a national scale to achieve important national objectives. The American idea of the national good has never been based on national cooperation but rather on the freedom of the individual, maintaining those conditions that provide the greatest freedom and prosperity for the individual. It is far more difficult for Americans to accept shared sacrifice for the common good and well-being of the entire country. For example, although the majority of Americans believe that it is extremely important to balance the national budget and reduce the deficit, they do not want to see cuts in government programs that benefit them personally.
The American value of competition also hinders the development of a spirit of national cooperation. Competition sometimes encourages feelings of suspicion rather than the mutual trust that is necessary for successful national cooperation. Although Americans often cooperate successfully on the local level -- in neighborhood groups and churches, for example -- they become suspicious when the national government becomes involved. For example, on the national level, they may see themselves as part of an interest group that is competing with other interest groups for government funds. A request by the national government for shared sacrifice may be seen as coercive and destructive rather than voluntary and constructive. However, the demands of the 21st century may compel Americans to place a greater value on national cooperation to solve problems that affect them all, directly and indirectly.
Considering natural resources, what should Americans do according to the passage?
A.They should use less and waste less.
B.They should try to help the developing countries with the conversation of resources.
C.They should raise money in order to protect the natural resources.
D.They should be united as one to fight against the destruction of forests.
Recently, progress has been made—more and more Americans are recycling their paper, cans, bottles, and other goods—but old wasteful habits die hard. Furthermore, the need to protect the environment may conflict with the need for jobs, as in the Northwest, where conservationists battle lumber companies that want to cut down ancient redwood trees. A belief in the value of conservation is still compared with other American values; it can become stronger only as Americans see the need for it more clearly.

听力原文: We are now living in a world in which robots are taking over much of the work.Robots make our cars, fly our planes and work out wages.
But these robots are not mechanical men and women.They do not look like us.They are machines specially built to do some of the things that human beings can.
Although they may not look like us,robots need some human features in order to be able to do human work.First of all they need some kind of brain.Their "brain" is a computer,which has a memory to human member instructions and ability to control other equipment.Another essential feature of many robots is an arm that can do the kind of things that human beings can with their arms.One-armed robots are now coming into widespread use in industry.They are being used,for example,on car assembly lines.
The great advantage of robots over human workers is that they can work non-stop for long periods. They never get tired,and always work with the same accuracy.They can also work in conditions that humans could not bear.Last but not least,as more robots are built,their cost will come down.
Although robots are rapidly taking over many jobs in industry, they seem a long way from taking over in the home. The problem is that it would take a very complex and costly robot to perform. half the tasks involved in housework.
According to the speaker,what can the present-day robots do?
A.Drive cars.
B.Fly planes.
C.Pay wages.
D.Repair machines.
In this passage______ different cultures are mentioned.
A.five

You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else, in this case you should ask for a "person-to-person" call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the international line is busy, you can reserve(留下) a call, explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country that you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer.
What is the most expensive type of call?
A.Direct dial.
B.Through the operator.
C.Reverse charge call.
D.Calling outside office hours.
