M: Hi, Zhang Hong!W: Hi, Mr. Anderson!M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. What keeps you so busy latelyW: Studying English.M: What makes you study English so hardW: You know I’m planning to go to the United States this coming summer. I’m a bit nervous about my English.M: Your English is very good.W: Thank you, but I’m afraid my pronunciation isn’t accurate enough and that I might get confused.M: Don’t worry about it. As an American I understand you quite well. Besides, you’ve passed the "PETS Level 5".W: Yes. I have passed the "PETS Level 5"but I still find the word order very difficult. Sometimes I know every word in an expression, but I don’t know what it implies. Honestly, when I see an English film, I understand very little.M: Well, the speakers in the film may speak so emotionally and sometimes with so much local accent that even native audience can hardly tell exactly what they say.W: I used to study English for entertainment because I didn’t have a special hobby, like playing mahjongg, to kill time. Now I have a particular purpose for it.M: So what’s the problemW: The teacher assigned me a bunch of homework. She wants me to memorize all the phrases and expressions.M: She simply wants you to practice them over and over again until they are fixed in your mind.W: Yes, she said it is necessary to drill as much as possible and the more I apply it in real situations the more natural it will become. Drill is boring!M: She is right.W: So, that’s the problem, I need so much practice and I’m getting discouraged.M: Actually, the fastest way to reach your goal would be to have a VCD player or a tape recorder.W: ReallyM: The laser discs or tapes have native voices and you can study them by listening again and again and imitating the sounds as many times as you wish.W: That way I’m not only training my listening comprehension but also my speaking ability.M: Besides, since English is not your native tongue, you must develop the muscles of your speech organs to produce unfamiliar sounds. When you read, read aloud.W: And my teacher also said that language is an instrument.W: Yes, language is intimately tied to man’s feelings and activities. It is bound up with nationality, religion, and the feeling of self. As groups of men developed in different areas of the world, each group created its own spoken language. However, the written language came about long after the spoken language was created.W: She said that too.M: She surely sounds like an expert.W: She is, I guess.M: You’re certainly lucky to have her as your teacher.W: I’m glad to hear you say that. And one more problem with’ my English is that I’ve so got used to British English that I feel it hard to understand American English. British English and American English are really about the same, aren’t theyM: Yes, but it seems to me that some of the spellings are different.W: That I know. Words like theater and center end in r-e in England instead of in e-r as Americans spell them.M: Right. And many words which end in o-r in American English are spelled o-u-r in British English.W: That is not the biggest problem to me. What puzzles me is the American accent. I mean, if someone comes here from England, can you understand what he’s saying completelyM: Practieally no problem at all. But I remember seeing an English movie where the actors kept calling their apartment a flat. Half o{ the movie was over before I realized what they were talking about.W: So there are slight differences in spelling and some vocabulary.M: And pronunciation, too. But basically, we all agree that British English and American English are the same language.W: Not so different that it prevents Americans and Englishmen from understanding each other.M: That’s what I mean.W: Thank you for answering so many questions.M: My pleasure. Good-bye!W: Bye! Mr. Anderson implies that Americans don’t call their apartment a flat.

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something m all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. Without the artist’s work, the public might not ______ .
A. notice particular shapes and colors
B. see the shapes and colors that express his experience
C. feel his delight in shapes and colors
D. all of the above
Children are a relatively modem invention. Until a few hundred years ago they look like adult, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved. Children today not only exist; they have taken over in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid’s body is our physical ideal. In Kids Country we do not permit middle-aged. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come. We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy situation has come to abort at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the father, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever- expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the father was ever inheriting from his son. Kids Country may be the inevitable result. Kids Country is not at all bad. America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids Country. We not only wear kids clothes and eat kids food; we dream kids dreams and make them come tree. It was, after all, a boys’ game to go to the moon. If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups against eternity. The young man was advised to Go West to ______ .
A. find and accumulate more wealth
B. get more free land for the family
C. be the pioneers of the West
D. expand the country’s territory
