Answer：Many people have asked me this question．（37）FHere I will give you several tips for learning English．
（38）BFirst of all，you must want to learn．If you are not interested in learning English，no class will help you and no book will help you．So you have to be honest with yourself．Ask yourself，"Do I really want to learn English？"If you can't answer"yes"to this question，it is better for you to set English aside until you're ready and willing to learn．
Set goals （目標(biāo)）．
To learn English well，you must set some goals．（39）GIt will also help you to see your progress．Ask yourself，"What are my goals？What areas would I like to improve？"Think about what your goals are，and review once in a while to see that you are making progress toward your goals．
Practice，practice，and practice．
After you have set your goals，you have a better idea of what you need to practice．Just like the athlete whose goal is the Olympics must train daily，you as a language learner must practice language every day to make progress toward your goal．（40）E

B．Want to learn．
C．Reading is a very good way to learn new words．
D．Make friends with some Americans online．
E．The more you practice，the more progress you will make．

6．For over one hundred and fifty years，Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans．（36）FWhether they are worn for work or for fashion today，Strauss'invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world．
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829．（37）AHe grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853，Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1949，Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead，he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first，he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth．（38）DWhen he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining，he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more．
In 1873，Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（鉚釘）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea，he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent．（39）C．
By the time Strauss died in 1902，he had made a great contribution to American fashion．（40）EThe business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss'company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．

B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable．
C．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since．
D．However，he did not get much business for those products．
E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry．
F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss，they have become a symbol of American consumer culture．
G．As the business grew，Strauss got much money from it．

5．Travaling is one of life's great joys．It's a way to see the world and learn about places you've never been before．（36）GThe best things can come from the worst experiences
Once，when I was in Sicily，I was cheated by a stranger for a hundred dollars．At first I was astonished．（37）Band what I would do if I had it．But what I learned from this about humanity，about the nature of good and evil within people，and how circumstances force them to do bad things showed me a lot about myself and how to deal with misfortune．（38）F
The cost of a trip may be a couple of thousand dollars，depending on how big you go．But the value it could have on your life and your memories could be priceless．Think about how much you are willing to spend，sure，but also consider what else you want from your vacation，who you want to meet，what kind of experiences you want to have，and how you want to remember it ten years from now．
Don't follow others'footsteps and find your own path
（39）C，but I look forward to wandering away from the group，down labyrinthine alleys（迷宮般的小巷），into different shops and neighborhoods，to experience my own understanding of a city and its environment．The same applies to when I come home from my trip．（40）E

4．One answer to the questions of land shortage was suggested by a committee some years ago．A city was to be built at sea，housing 30000people．
（36）DThe outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed．Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow．The people would live in flats in the fifty-meter high outer wall．The flats would all face inwards．（37）CThe glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun．The planners called this water the lake．
（8）EOn it would be floating islands carrying more buildings：a hospital，two theaters，a museum，an art exhibition hall and a church．On one of the islands would be a special plant．（39）F
People living in the city could move around on small boats dnven by electricity．（40）G There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies．People could also travel to the mainknd by molorboat or water plane．

C．And they would be made of concrete and glass．
D．The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor．
E．The water inside this man-made haAor would be calm．
F．It will take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water．
G．Thus there would be no air pollution from the burning of petrol．
