When I looked at the grade on my math paper my jaw (下巴) almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.
when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt my words.

A month later. Dad casually (隨意地) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice. I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.
For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off(斥責(zé)) than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. No one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest with your dad. who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to get a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”
Dad’s words touched my heart. I could not forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized(道歉）sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me , but to those around me that truly care about me.
In one of Shakespeare’s plays a character says: “No legacy (遺產(chǎn)) is so rich as honesty.” After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.

    If you want to become a fluent(流利的)English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

    Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_

    As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

    For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.  Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.

    If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

46. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?

    A. Reading and writing.                    B. Reading and listening.

    C. Writing and speaking.                         D. Speaking and listening.

47. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".

    A. meet by accident                                B. discover

    C. find on purpose                           D. look for

48. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.

    A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day

    B. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day

    C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening

    D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing

49. The passage is mainly about how to_______.

    A. choose suitable listening materials

    B. deal with new words in reading

    C. read as many English books as possible

    D. become fluent in speaking and writing English

Once there was a piano player in a bar (酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.

“I don’t sing,” said the man.

But the lady told the waiter, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”

The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”

So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!

He had talent(天賦) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.

You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.
