Here is a passage about learning a foreign language.
Outside of class, the most natural way of finding out if you are making mistakes is from other people’s responses. If the mistakes are too serious, your listeners will be asking you all the time what you mean. If they are not so serious, then people may be asking you whether you said such and such. That will tell you how close you are to speaking “cogently”.
Of course, there are other times when it is important to have errors pointed out. Your class assignments(作業(yè)) are probably marked in this way, in which case you need to spend time going over them to take advantage of the individual feedback. In some classes the teacher gets better and better at grammar because she does all the corrections, but the students make slow progress if, when an assignment is returned, they quickly stuff it into their folders without looking.
You are the person who should be connecting your error, even if the marker has signaled them, When you look at them, there are some steps to work through. One distinction that has been made about learners’ language is this. You make mistakes about rules that you already know but you make errors about points you haven’t learned yet. In other words, you can find your own mistakes, but not your errors. First, make sure you understand what you have written or said, or your correction will simply be another stab at the right answer. Next, decide on the best way of practicing the correct form. Would it help you to write out the sentence once more. Can you make up another similar sentence? Then you could test yourself in a few days time to see whether you have remembered the right form, Anyone can get it right immediately after being told. He challenge is to remember it and apply it later.
57．We can learn from the passage that__________in learning a foreign language.
A．making mistakes about rules can always be avoided
B．speaking is the only way to correct mistakes
C．getting and using responses is important
D．errors can be easily corrected
58．How can you know that you are making fewer mistakes when speaking a foreign language?

　　YOU may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not recognize that their ideas could be the start of an invention.

　　Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.

　　For example, the inventor of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.

　　Like Cochrane's, most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem.

　　You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now. * You can ask grandparents or neighbors if they remember ever saying:“I wish someone would invent something for...”* Or you can look at people in different areas--such as on the street, or at school. Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement. * Remember to record you ideas and work. * This will help you develop your invention and protect (保護(hù)) it when it is completed.

　　The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many, varied (各種各樣的), and unusual ways.

　　You can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle (角度) or thinking about it in a new way.

　　Example 1-instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground, think of using something to protect the ground from you feet.

　　Example 2-instead of thinking about how you can carry oranges home from a store, think of how they can come to you--by delivery or growing your own.

　　Example 3-instead of experimenting with only one solution, can you put two or three solutions together, or arrange them in different orders?

　　And if one solution doesn't work, can it be put to other uses? That was how yellow post-it notes (N次貼) came about ----a“failed”adhesive (粘合劑) experiment proved a weak adhesive had good uses too!

　　After all, most inventions are not brand new (全新的). * They do not come out of nowhere, but come out of things or ideas that already exit (存在).

　　And the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention.

　　This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world?

　　Choose the best choice according to the story.
