"Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!"
Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with the above sentences. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours to study and practise, and that will not guarantee success for every adult language learner.
Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in language learning. However, some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.
Language teachers often offer advice to language learners: Read as much as you can in the new language; practise speaking the language every day; live with people who speak the language you want to learn; don't translate—try to think in the new language; learn as a child would learn—play with the language and so on.
But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
First of all, successful language learners are independent(独立的) learners.
Secondly, successful language learning is active learning.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose(目的).
What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully.
61. What does the underlined word "guarantee" mean in Chinese?
A. 许诺 B. 几率 C. 计划 D. 保证
62. From the passage, we know that language learning is learning to ride.
A. easier than B. less difficult than

A. Practise speaking the language every day.
B. Try to play with children as often as possible.
C. Try to think in the new language.

64. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Most adults think it is very easy to learn a second language.
B. You can always get useful advice on language learning from your relatives.
C. Intelligent people can learn a second language easily.

Tan Wei said, "I thought texting was much cheaper than phoning, so I've been texting my friends all day long and even into the early hours of the morning. Sometimes my fingers hurt because I pressed the buttons(按键) so much, but I was having such good fun that I couldn't stop!"
His father said, "I am angry with the phone company as they are encouraging this crazy behaviour." He has made his son promise to pay back the money, so Tan Wei has been working on Saturdays.

Dear editor,
My English teacher is very strict (严厉) with us. Several days ago, when we were having class, Tom asked me a question. But she thought we were speaking in class. She asked us to stand at the back of the classroom for a few minutes. This made me uncomfortable. After that, I feel nervous in her class, so I don't like her class. However, I really want to learn English well. What should I do?
Yours,
Mike
Dear Mike,
I am sorry you are having difficulty with your English class. Every teacher wants his or her students to study hard especially in class. So I think you should have a talk with your English teacher and tell her what you were doing with Tom that day. If she knows your worries, maybe she will help you with your English. And she will be pleased to hear you want to learn English well. I believe when students are not trying as hard as they can, a teacher is forced(被迫) to take actions.
Yours,
Editor

Once upon a time there lived a poor farmer called Smith. He didn't like to share things with others. Smith had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
One day, his friend gave Smith a young apple tree and told him to take it home and planted. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant.
He thought and thought. Finally at night he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place.
"What's the difference?" the farmer said angrily. "If I had planted it near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted it in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit,"
"Yes," said the friend, "but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have got nothing, but also you have destroyed a good apple tree."
