第二节 短文理解1
阅读下面短文,从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。
wenty years ago people had one telephone in the house or in the office. Today, people have telephones at home, in cars, in offices, almost everywhere. You can even see people talking into cell phones(手机) on the streets. Once I asked a newspaper reporter for his telephone number. He answered, "Which number do you want? Home number, work number, weekend number, or car number?"
Now there are even answering machines, but it seems that nobody likes them. For callers there is the problem of how to talk to them because it is very difficult to have a conversation with a ma- chine. For owners of answering machines, there are problems, too. What kind of message(信息) should be recorded(录音) for the caller? If the message is too short, like "This is an answering machine. Speak now", the caller may not have enough time to get ready. Others may be too long. One long message goes like this: "This is Nathan's answering machine. Please leave your name, telephone number, what you are like, name of your school or work place and your mother's first name. Speak now. "Probably, people will never call Nathan again.
Telephones develop very slowly.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Doesn't Say
听力原文: [29] To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor -- the key point is that you must know how to hold the attention and interest of your audience. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time while teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.
Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. [29] However, all this doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. [31] His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't Understand something, they say so. [30] The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the need of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

Learning a language
When Do We Learn a Language?
Children begin learning languages at birth(infants pay attention to their parents' voices, as opposed to random noises or even other languages), and haven't really mastered the subtleties before the age of ten years. Indeed, we never really stop learning our language. This isn't exactly the sort of behavior(like foals walking an hour after birth) that we call "instinct" in animals.
Do We Learn When We Don't Have to?
But at least it's effortless, isn't it? Well, no, as we can see when children have a choice of languages to learn. What's found is that, to be frank, children don't learn a language if they can get away with not learning it.
Many an immigrant family in the U.S. intends to teach their child their native language; and for the first few years it goes swimmingly so much so that the parents worry that the child won't learn English. Then the child goes to school, picks up English, and within a few years the worry is reversed: the child still understands his parents, but responds in English. Eventually the parents may give up, and the home language becomes English.
People's Influence
A child is likely to end up as a fluent speaker of a language only if there are significant people in her life who speak it: a nanny who only speaks Spanish, a relative who doesn't speak English, etc. Once a child discovers that his parents understand English perfectly well, he's likely to give up on the home language, even in the face of strong disapproval from the parents.
It's a myth that children learn to speak mainly from their parents. They don't: they learn mostly from their peers. This is most easily seen among children of immigrants, whether they come from differing language backgrounds or merely different dialect areas: the children invariably come to speak the dialect of their neighborhood and school, not that of their parents.(I found a neat example of this in my college's alumni magazine: A liberal family in Mississippi sent their daughter to the public schools, which except for her were all black. She grew up speaking fluent African-American Vernacular English.)
Do We Need Grammar?
Supporters of the "language instinct" make much of the fact that children learn to speak without formal instruction—indeed, they notoriously ignore explicit corrections.
Very little of what we learn is through formal instruction. Children aren't schooled in video games, either, yet they pick them up with the same seeming ease.
The apparent effortlessness is largely an illusion caused by psychological distance. We just don't remember how hard it was to learn language. (In fact, there's some studies suggesting that memory is tied to language, so that we can't remember the language learning process.) The perception of effortlessness should be balanced, anyway, by the universal amusement(which some cartoonists have been mining for nearly half a century) over children's language mistakes.
Do Children Learn Faster?
One may fall back on the position that languages may be hard for children to learn, but at least they do it better than adults. This, however, turns out to be surprisingly difficult to prove. Singleton examined hundreds of studies, and found them resoundingly ambiguous. Quite a few studies, in fact, find that adult learners progress faster than children. Even in phonetics, sometimes the last stronghold of the kids-learn-free position, there are studies finding that adults are better at recognizing and producing foreign sounds.
Now, I think Singleton misses a key point in understanding this discrepancy: the studies he reviews compare children vs. adults who are learning languages. That's quite reasonable, and indeed it's hard to imagine an alternative approach; but th

the attention and interest of your audience;you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control;and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching;he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage,for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's.The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart;he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays certain part,even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand.What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn't keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

Dear Julie,
I'm sorry I haven't written for a while, but I've been busy at work and have spent almost all my spare time looking for a flat(公寓). I saw a really nice place this morning--a third floor flat with two bedrooms. I have been tired of living in this hotel.
I met a very nice Japanese couple(夫妇) the other night and they've asked me to spend a weekend with them at their house in the country. It'll be nice to get away from Tokyo for a few days. The only problem is that they don't speak much English, and my Japanese is still very poor.
By the way, I can't remember if I thanked you for the things you sent me. Believe me, they'll be really useful when I get a flat and start doing a bit of cooking for myself.
I'm afraid I'll have to finish now. Sorry it's a short letter but I've planned to go out with some friends. I'll write again at the end of the week. Until then, take care of yourself and give my love to Tim.
Love,
John
