Now he had my _  _ . How could he possibly know what I did for a living just by __ at me? “You were dreaming and wondering just like an author. I could see in your eyes.

Learning English is one of the few things I have been doing consistently over the past 16 years. Like most Chinese students, I started learning English because it was a compulsory (必修的) course in my middle school. More importantly, English was a central subject for the college entrance exam.

At that time , studying English was not a pleasant experience for me . There was no fun in the process of learning . The focus of our English education was getting a good mark in exams . And nobody told me that the real meaning of studying mother language was communication.

When I became a university student , I spent nearly half of my time on English . In fact , more than 90 percent of the job offer ads in Shanghai list “ proficiency (精通) as a main requirement.

How did I improve my English ? People told me that TOEFL was very helpful and useful. As a result, I took a TOEFL training course and studied like mad. After six months’ preparation, I took part in the exam and got a high score . Later on , I had a chance to further my study in Britain . I soon discovered that all of my past English learning had been futile (沒(méi)用的) . When I first went shopping in a local supermarket , I really could not understand what the cashier was saying at all.

It was then that I realized I had totally missed the point . Instead of just passing exams , the main function of learning English or any other language is communication . What is more , lanuage does not exist independent of culture. Hence , mechanical memorization helps very little in communication. That’s why I was still unable to freely express myself after learning English for many years . By no means am I talented in any foreign language . I am still learing English . Why ?

First and foremost , my job requires me to use English everyday . Secondly , English helps me to have access to more information . Thirdly , as a bookworm , English gives me a chance to dive into the huge pool of inspiring English books . Last but not least , it is such a great experience to write in another language . Indeed , English has become part of my life .

How did the writer find English when he was a student?

A. He was interested in it .

B. He studied it because it was compulsory course.

C. He thought it funny to study English.

D. He often recited something when he studied English.

What is the purpose of studying English according to the writer’s idea ?

A. To get high marks in exams.

B. To prove that Englsih is very important.

C. Studying Eglish well can ehlp you get a good job.

D. To use English for communication with others.

According to the text , how is my English ?

A.I am good at English.

B.I can speak Englsih like natives.

C.I can master it but I can’t use it correctly.

D.I continued to study Englsih.

How can we master Englsih well ?

A.We need more mechanical memorization.

B.We should read and recite more books.

C.We should study Englsih as well as its culture and use it more .

D.We can study hard in classrooms and houses and get high marks in exams .

Not long ago the movie 2012 came into screen.The people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood, severe earthquake, terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disaster.Luckily, they are just the director' s imagination, but the present situation is not heading a positive direction, either.
Take my own experience in Alaska as an example.Once I took a trip to the glacier.Along the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years.They started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top that I finally saw melting glaciers(融化的冰川).My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second.
Sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact.Furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and that' s about the population of the entire Italy.According to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water.
Our fortune is in our own hands.It depends on us to shape our future, to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. Therefore, it's time for actions to be taken right now.Contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water.Let recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away.Let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place.It might cost more time for now, but it' s to the benefit of a permanent future.Take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them.
In a word, small drops of water make a big ocean The earth does not belong to us.On the contrary, we belong to the earth. Please bear in mind that the earth is our home.It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2012 from becoming reality.                
【小題1】Why does the author talk about the movie 2012 in the passage ? __________.

A.To give example.B.To lead into the topic.
C.To make prediction.D.To provide the evidence.
【小題2】How did the author feel when he took a trip to the glacier? ____________.
A.Worried.B.Puzzled.C.Scared.D.Bored.
【小題3】It can be inferred from the third paragraph that          .
A.56 million people in Italy have been killed owing to the rising sea level
B.Some islands and coastal cities will be drowned in water by the year of 2050
C.Human beings will be in danger if we don't take actions to prevent the global warming
D.It is certain that what happened in the movie 2012 will come into reality
【小題4】According to the passage, you are advised to         .
A.drive our own private cars instead of taking buses to some place
B.recycle everything that is used
C.go to see the movie 2012 at once
D.work together to take good care of our planet
【小題5】What does the author mean by saying "small drops of water make a big ocean"?

B.It's our duty to protect the ocean.
C.Everyone together can make a difference.
D.It's important to save every drop of water.
