It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of
a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can't imagine we will
do without him when he's gone.
Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the
Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In
only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position
in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our
competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill's
leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.
As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to
work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and
I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.
1．The speech was made _______.
A. at a welcome meeting
B. at the opening of a new school term
C. when somebody was leaving
D. when they had a new manager
2．When Bill started to work in Houston area, he had _______to help him.
A. many people B. nobody
C. about 37 people D. very few people
3．Bill increased the company's sale _______.
A. by 37 per cent every month
B. to the second largest in the area
C. to be the fifth largest in the area
D. five times as much as before

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot
they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or
however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful,
reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict
mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up
whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a
gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself
(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off
the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no
more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know
what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners
we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use
them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him
and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the
furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like
your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven
out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere
much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
4．This text is most probably written by ______. A. a specialist（专家） in teenager studies
B. B. a headmaster of a middle school
C. a parent with teenage children
D. D. a doctor for mental health problems
5． The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child
B. the way that parents often blame themselves
C. the opinion that a child has of his parents
D. the advice that parents want their children to follow
6．From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two
daughters _________.
A. pay no attention to them B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them D. feel helpless to do much about them
C
Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.
Speak, speak, speak
Practise speaking as often as you can—even speaking to yourself is good
practice.
Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation
with the master version, see how you can do better and have another go.
If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better
than the last.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend
or a family member to study with you, it will make you keep working.
Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know.
Practise improvising（即兴的）ways of getting your meaning across when
speaking spontaneously（本能地）, even if you don’t know the exact words
or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare
time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your
meaning across.
Language learning is also about intuition（直觉）.
Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening
to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand everything
first round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most
probably understand something new each time.
Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary
is the key to successful language learning but don’t
try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short
