6. I consider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here I would like to make three relevant points. First, extensive reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learnt into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting ourEnglish. 我认为总结一下学习英语的经验是值得一试的。
这里，我想谈谈三个相关的问题。
首先，大量阅读应被视作学习过程中的重点，因为我们是通过阅读获取最大量语言输入的。
其次，尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。
大脑中储存了大量很好的文章，我们在用英语表达自己思想的时候，就会觉得容易多了。
最后，我们应把所学到的东西用到实践中去，这是至关重要的。
通过多读、多写、多听、多说，我们就能完成提高英语水平的任务。

9. Some people seem easy to understand：their character appears obvious on first meeting. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen.I don’t know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me. 有些人似乎容易了解：他们的个性在初次交往时就表露无遗。
然而，外表可能具有欺骗性。
三十年来，我一直在研究我的人类同胞，但至今了解不多。
每当有人跟我说他对一个人的首次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。
我想这种人不是无知，就是自大。

11. In America many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land.

Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life. 在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的想象，许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。
