一、阅读单选
English is very important to us in the modern world． Many people want to learn it well． Here are some things that I want to say about learning English．
You need two things to learn English well—passion and good learning methods（方法）, and passion is the more important one． Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English, the learning methods only tell you how to do it better and faster．
If you love learning English, you’ll do it regularly and spend more time on it． Learning English will be easier for you． It’ll be easy for you to remember new words and grammars． ______． For example, some people like history and know everything about World War II． If you told a “normal person” to memorize（记忆）all these facts, they would never do it． We know you may not love learning English． And even if you love it, you won’t do it sometimes． This is how human psychology（心理）works—sometimes we’re very lazy and tired, so we don’t want to do anything though we like it very much．
When you don’t feel like learning English, you can do the following things:
First, imagine that you can talk to native speakers just like you talk in your native language． Imagine other people speak English as well as you do． Imagine the possibility of writing e-mail to people from all over the world．
Second, remember there’s a lot that you don’t know． You’re good, but your English probably isn’t good enough． Maybe you can’t understand English-language TV programs, read books in English, talk to English native speakers easily, or write letters without mistakes, etc．
Lastly, use English whenever you can． This is very, very important． The more you use English, the more you’ll want to learn it． Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere． You can watch American cartoons, you can sing English songs, and you can read interesting books written in English．
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1．The underlined word “passion” means “________” in Chinese．
A．态度 B．热情 C．步骤 D．情感
2．The missing part in the third paragraph can be “________”．
A．The brain can’t memorize everything
B．You’ll find it hard to learn English
C．That’s because the brain can easily remember information on a subject that you like
D．Everyone likes to learn what they like most
3．What can you do if you don’t want to learn English according to the passage?
A．Go to English-speaking countries． B．Read interesting books．
C．Stop learning it for some time． D．Listen to music or play sports．
4．Which is NOT right according to the passage?
A．Use English whenever you can．
B．The more you use English, the more you’ll want to learn it．
C．Methods are more important than passion．
D．Not everyone loves learning English all the time．
5．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Learning English is the most important thing．
B．What you should do when you learn English．
C．How to write e-mails to other people．
D．Some advice on how to learn English．
If we want to learn English well, we must improve our English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills． I don’t think improving our reading skills is very difficult． If you want to get the most from the study of a language, you must read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, etc． And when you read these kinds of books, the most important is to read the book as a whole． It is not possible for you to stop to think about every word that you don’t know． You can’t enjoy a story if you stop many times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary． That may even affect your understanding of the story．
When you read this kind of books, you’ll usually have to rely mainly on the context (上下文) to help you． If you meet a word that you don’t know, don’t take too much attention to look it up． You will probably meet it once more a few pages later in a different context, and then you can guess its meaning exactly．
The methods above may help you to improve your reading skills． Have a try!
6．According to the passage, it’s not important to look up every new word in the dictionary while __________．
A．speaking B．listening C．writing D．reading
7．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “rely”?

8．When you read, _________ may prevent understanding the story as a whole．
A．stopping half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary
B．stopping and thinking about the meaning of the whole story
C．paying less attention to look new words up
D．getting on with the book as a whole
9．When you read novels for pleasure, _________ is the main purpose．
A．to look up new words in the dictionary
B．to grasp the meaning of the whole story
C．to pay more attention to new words
D．to think about the meaning of each new word
10．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．You can enjoy a story if you stop to look up new words．
B．If you meet a word that you don’t know, you must stop．
C．When reading novels, plays, travel books and so on, it’s important to read the book as a whole．
D．The passage can tell us how to improve listening, speaking, reading and writing skills．
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly（彻底地）, four things are necessary． Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it． Secondly, we must be able to speak it by ourselves correctly, with confidence and without hesitation（犹豫）． Thirdly, we must be able to read the language． Fourthly, we must be able to make up sentences that are grammatically correct． We must know how to put sentences into paragraphs in order to write a good letter or article．
There is no easy way to succeed in learning a foreign language． A good memory（记忆力）is of much help, but it is not enough to simply remember rules from a grammar book． It is no much use learning long words and their meanings by heart．
We must learn not only words but also the use of them in sentences． We must learn by using the language． “Learn through using” is a good piece of advice for people to study a new language． Practice is very important． We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can．

Improving our English reading ability is helpful to learn English well． Reading is a fun thing to do in our free time and it’s also a good way to become a better student．

If we read a lot, we will meet many new words that we would not often use in our daily life． Reading also helps improve our writing because new words can be used in our compositions．
Another good reason to read books is that the story can take our minds to new places and help us get more open-minded． We’d better read different stories． This will get our minds wide． When we read books, we have to think over the background and persons and think of new and exciting people and places．
In a word, books are our best friends． Especially the English books can bring us richer knowledge and more fun．

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains． But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain． Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞)．
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times． Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC．
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade． And there was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power． In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as kings or queens．
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade． The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans． During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared． Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century． And again it became a symbol of power．
The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight． It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors．

Listening
Practicing listening is a good way to improve your listening skills． When you listen to something in English, try to note down key information． You can also write down key words and expressions． While listening, you may not understand much at first． Keep on listening and you will understand more．
Speaking
It’s the most important to believe yourself when you speak English． Don’t speak so fast that the others can not understand you． If you forget a word, try to use “um” or “er” as the English people do all the time． Remember to be polite-use “please” and “thank you” if you ask someone for help．

二、阅读判断
根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）。
When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence word for word into your own language． Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example． If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what will be your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language．
Languages don’t just have difference in sounds, they are different in many ways． It’s also important to master the rules for word order in the study of English． If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener will not understand the speaker’s sentence easily． Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes． However, sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change． Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences． “She only likes apples．” “Only she likes apples!” “I have seen the film already．” “I have already seen the film．”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does．
44．We should put every word into our own language when we are learning English．
45．The writer thinks it is important to master the rules for word order in learning English．
46．Sometimes different order of words has a different meaning．
47．“She only likes apples．” is different from “Only she likes apples．”
48．How to Learn English is the best title for this passage．
Are you learning a foreign language? Do you know what a successful language learner should do?
First of all, successful language learners are independent learners． They do not depend on books or teachers． They discover their own ways to learn the language． They also look for clues (线索) and get their own ideas by guessing． When they guess wrong, they try again． They try to learn from their mistakes．
Successful language learning is active learning, so successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language． They look for chances． They find native speakers and ask them for help when they make mistakes． They will try their best to communicate with others． They are not afraid to repeat what they heard or to say strange things．
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose (目的)． They want to learn the language in order to communicate with foreigners and learn about their lives, their culture and so on．

三、阅读填表
根据短文内容，完成下列表格。每空词数不限。
No matter how carefully we check a composition (作文), it seems there’s always one more little mistake waiting to be discovered． The following tips may help you find your mistakes before anybody else does．
First of all, give it a rest． If time permits (允许), set your composition aside for a few hours after you’ve finished it, and then read it carefully to correct mistakes with fresh eyes．
Secondly, look for one type of problem at a time． Read through your composition several times, concentrating first on sentence structures, then word choice, then spelling, and finally punctuation (标点)． As the saying goes, if you look for trouble, you’re likely to find it．
If you don’t believe in yourself, you can ask a friend for help． Read your composition to him aloud． You can also ask him to read it aloud． You may hear a problem that you haven’t been able to see． Your friend can also help you find some mistakes．
Then, try to read your composition backward (倒着)． Another way to catch spelling mistakes is to read backward, from right to left, starting with the last word in your composition．
Another method some writers usually use is to keep a list of the types of mistakes they commonly make, and then use the list each time they correct their works．

There is an old English saying, “Gain time, gain life．” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by． Time is always with us． When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable． We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious(珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back． But if time is gone away, it will never return． So, some of us even say time is priceless(无价的)．
We should always remember: future is now． For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own． We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today． We should do everything before us as well as possible． And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow．
As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man．” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow． So from now on, work hard． Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter． Remember: “No pains, no gains．” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest．

五、阅读回答问题
Usually, when we talk about reading, we think of using our eyes to see letters written in ink on paper． However, this is not always true． For example, blind people cannot see, but they can still read books．
The man who introduced blind people to reading was Louis Braille． Braille lost his eyesight at the age of three． When he was ten, he went to a school for the blind in Paris． In those days, books for blind people used paper pressed against metal wire to form letters． Since the metal wire was heavy, each book weighed as much as 100 pounds． Indeed, the school library only had fourteen such books in it．
In 1821, a soldier（士兵）visited the school and showed the students a system （系统）for passing messages at night． His system used paper with small, raised dots that could be felt with the fingers． Each letter of the alphabet was symbolized by a different pattern which consisted of twelve dots． The soldiers would pull their fingers over the raised dots to read the message．
While the students found the soldier’s idea interesting, the system was too difficult to be of practical use． However, young Louis Braille took the idea and worked on it． At the age of fifteen, he created a system with patterns of six raised dots symbolizing each letter． “Braille”, the system for reading used today by blind people around the world, was thus born．
The blind can easily recognize（辨别）Braille with their fingers． They can also easily write in Braille with a special typewriter． Today, it is the most common system used by blind people for reading and writing, and nearly every language, including Chinese, has its own version（版本）of Braille for its people to use．
74．Who introduced blind people to reading?

75．When did a soldier visit the school and show the students a system?

I’m Mike Trent, a businessman from the United States． I have lived in China for more than seven years． Like many foreigners, I only knew two words of Chinese (“hello” and “thank you”) when I came to China in 2009． As you can probably guess, my life was difficult for a while after I arrived． Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite difficult for me．
I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I signed up for a class． My teacher was very helpful, although I didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation． Later I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow． I became very frustrated (沮丧的)．
Finally, I found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native (本土的) speakers and spend time with them． Around this time, I started playing in a band with a Chinese woman who became one of my best friends in Beijing． I learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out with her．
For example, she taught me a lot of words about music, such as “melody (旋律)”． She learned a lot of English from me in return, so it was a good way to exchange language and culture． She is still one of my best friends and we talk to each other nearly every day．
Now I’ve learned enough Chinese to take care of complex (复杂的) tasks, such as booking train tickets and negotiating (谈判) with my business partners．

Once there were five beggars(乞丐)． One was English, one Turkish, one Greek, one was an Arab and one was Persian． One day they met and decided to stay together, sharing what they had and helping each other in trouble times．
Soon a man passed them in the street and gave them a coin． They talked about what to do with it． At last they decided to buy something to eat．
“Let’s buy some grapes!” said the Englishman． But the Turkish wanted “uzum”, the Arab “aneb”, the Greek “stafelea”, and the Persian insisted on “angur”． They did not understand each other’s language very well． Soon they were quarrelling and even fighting．
While they were fighting about how to spend the money, a stranger came along． He knew all the five languages． He asked them why they were fighting． After they told him, he said, “Give me your coin． I will buy what you want．”
He was soon back with a bunch of grapes． Each beggar was happy, as each had what he had wanted． They all asked for the same thing, but the word for “grapes” is different in different languages． If people could understand each other, there would be no need to fight．

Recently I’ve had a discussion about the ways to learn English better with Tom, a student from Britain． In his opinion, the best ways are reading English newspapers and talking with others in English as often as possible． Also, he believes watching English films can be helpful．
I quite agree with him． I think we can also study English on the Internet． Besides, looking for a penfriend from an English-speaking country is a good way for us to know more about his or her language and culture． Finally, keeping an English diary with the help of the dictionary is useful to improve written English． These are our ideas． Could you please give me more advice on how to learn English?
Yours,

英语人教版9年级上Unit 1单元专题卷
02 阅读与写作
一、阅读单选
English is very important to us in the modern world． Many people want to learn it well． Here are some things that I want to say about learning English．
You need two things to learn English well—passion and good learning methods（方法）, and passion is the more important one． Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English, the learning methods only tell you how to do it better and faster．
If you love learning English, you’ll do it regularly and spend more time on it． Learning English will be easier for you． It’ll be easy for you to remember new words and grammars． ______． For example, some people like history and know everything about World War II． If you told a “normal person” to memorize（记忆）all these facts, they would never do it． We know you may not love learning English． And even if you love it, you won’t do it sometimes． This is how human psychology（心理）works—sometimes we’re very lazy and tired, so we don’t want to do anything though we like it very much．
When you don’t feel like learning English, you can do the following things:
First, imagine that you can talk to native speakers just like you talk in your native language． Imagine other people speak English as well as you do． Imagine the possibility of writing e-mail to people from all over the world．
Second, remember there’s a lot that you don’t know． You’re good, but your English probably isn’t good enough． Maybe you can’t understand English-language TV programs, read books in English, talk to English native speakers easily, or write letters without mistakes, etc．
Lastly, use English whenever you can． This is very, very important． The more you use English, the more you’ll want to learn it． Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere． You can watch American cartoons, you can sing English songs, and you can read interesting books written in English．
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1．The underlined word “passion” means “________” in Chinese．
A．态度 B．热情 C．步骤 D．情感
2．The missing part in the third paragraph can be “________”．
A．The brain can’t memorize everything
B．You’ll find it hard to learn English
C．That’s because the brain can easily remember information on a subject that you like
D．Everyone likes to learn what they like most
3．What can you do if you don’t want to learn English according to the passage?
A．Go to English-speaking countries． B．Read interesting books．
C．Stop learning it for some time． D．Listen to music or play sports．
4．Which is NOT right according to the passage?
A．Use English whenever you can．
B．The more you use English, the more you’ll want to learn it．
C．Methods are more important than passion．
D．Not everyone loves learning English all the time．
5．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Learning English is the most important thing．
B．What you should do when you learn English．
C．How to write e-mails to other people．
D．Some advice on how to learn English．
If we want to learn English well, we must improve our English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills． I don’t think improving our reading skills is very difficult． If you want to get the most from the study of a language, you must read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, etc． And when you read these kinds of books, the most important is to read the book as a whole． It is not possible for you to stop to think about every word that you don’t know． You can’t enjoy a story if you stop many times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary． That may even affect your understanding of the story．
When you read this kind of books, you’ll usually have to rely mainly on the context (上下文) to help you． If you meet a word that you don’t know, don’t take too much attention to look it up． You will probably meet it once more a few pages later in a different context, and then you can guess its meaning exactly．
The methods above may help you to improve your reading skills． Have a try!
6．According to the passage, it’s not important to look up every new word in the dictionary while __________．
A．speaking B．listening C．writing D．reading
7．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “rely”?
A．查找 B．发现 C．依靠；取决于 D．重要
8．When you read, _________ may prevent understanding the story as a whole．
A．stopping half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary
B．stopping and thinking about the meaning of the whole story
C．paying less attention to look new words up
D．getting on with the book as a whole
9．When you read novels for pleasure, _________ is the main purpose．
A．to look up new words in the dictionary
B．to grasp the meaning of the whole story
C．to pay more attention to new words
D．to think about the meaning of each new word
10．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．You can enjoy a story if you stop to look up new words．
B．If you meet a word that you don’t know, you must stop．
C．When reading novels, plays, travel books and so on, it’s important to read the book as a whole．
D．The passage can tell us how to improve listening, speaking, reading and writing skills．
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly（彻底地）, four things are necessary． Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it． Secondly, we must be able to speak it by ourselves correctly, with confidence and without hesitation（犹豫）． Thirdly, we must be able to read the language． Fourthly, we must be able to make up sentences that are grammatically correct． We must know how to put sentences into paragraphs in order to write a good letter or article．
There is no easy way to succeed in learning a foreign language． A good memory（记忆力）is of much help, but it is not enough to simply remember rules from a grammar book． It is no much use learning long words and their meanings by heart．
We must learn not only words but also the use of them in sentences． We must learn by using the language． “Learn through using” is a good piece of advice for people to study a new language． Practice is very important． We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can．
11．When we try to speak a foreign language, we must _________ ourselves．
A．lost heart in B．give up C．believe in D．feel like
12．According to the passage, _________ are necessary in order to know a foreign language thoroughly
A．three things B．four things C．five things D．two things
13．________is very important． We must stick to doing it whenever we can．
A．Practice B．Reading C．Speaking D．Writing
14．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．We mustn’t learn a foreign language by using it
B．The writer advises us to use a dictionary whenever we can
C．Learn through using is good advice for those who are studying a new language
D．The passage is mainly about how to learn English
15．When we learn a new language, we must know how to put sentences into paragraphs in order to write _______．
A．a good letter B．a diary C．a good article D．A or C
Improving our English reading ability is helpful to learn English well． Reading is a fun thing to do in our free time and it’s also a good way to become a better student．
We can learn numbers of new words from reading． This can help us to have a bigger and richer vocabulary． Reading is one of the best ways to increase our vocabulary and improve our grammar in a nature and fun way．
If we read a lot, we will meet many new words that we would not often use in our daily life． Reading also helps improve our writing because new words can be used in our compositions．
Another good reason to read books is that the story can take our minds to new places and help us get more open-minded． We’d better read different stories． This will get our minds wide． When we read books, we have to think over the background and persons and think of new and exciting people and places．
In a word, books are our best friends． Especially the English books can bring us richer knowledge and more fun．
16．According to the passage, _________ can increase our vocabulary．

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains． But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain． Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞)．
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times． Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, back in the 11th century BC．
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade． And there was a strange thing that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power． In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as kings or queens．
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade． The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans． During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared． Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century． And again it became a symbol of power．
The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight． It wasn’t until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors．
31．Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________．
A．a symbol of honor B．protection against the sun

34．This passage is mainly about ________．
A．the sales of the umbrella B．the differences among umbrellas
C．the invention of the umbrella D．the history and use of the umbrella
Listening
Practicing listening is a good way to improve your listening skills． When you listen to something in English, try to note down key information． You can also write down key words and expressions． While listening, you may not understand much at first． Keep on listening and you will understand more．
Speaking
It’s the most important to believe yourself when you speak English． Don’t speak so fast that the others can not understand you． If you forget a word, try to use “um” or “er” as the English people do all the time． Remember to be polite-use “please” and “thank you” if you ask someone for help．
Reading
When you read, the most important thing to do is to understand the main ideas． Use the title and the picture to help you understand the main idea of a passage． When you read a passage, try to find who, what, when, where, why and how． This will help you understand the passage better．
Writing
When you write a composition, remember three things． Use something you have read as a model in your composition． Use expressions and sentences from the model and change the details． This will help you with the content (内容), the grammar and the vocabulary you include in your composition． Use words like “and”, “or” and “but” to join sentences．

Tina: Don’t worry, David． I often use chants, songs and pictures to help me remember new words, and they’re quite useful． I also check the number of words I can remember each day． Then I’ll test myself again after one or two days． For very difficult words, I’ll review them again one or two weeks later． The important thing is to review the new words often．
Brian: For long passages, you should try to understand the general meaning and key points first． And for the language structures, the best way to remember them is to use them． Try to do more reading, listening, speaking and writing in English． The more you use them, the easier learning English will be．

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence word for word into your own language． Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example． If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what will be your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language．
Languages don’t just have difference in sounds, they are different in many ways． It’s also important to master the rules for word order in the study of English． If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener will not understand the speaker’s sentence easily． Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes． However, sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change． Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences． “She only likes apples．” “Only she likes apples!” “I have seen the film already．” “I have already seen the film．”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does．
44．We should put every word into our own language when we are learning English．
45．The writer thinks it is important to master the rules for word order in learning English．
46．Sometimes different order of words has a different meaning．
47．“She only likes apples．” is different from “Only she likes apples．”
48．How to Learn English is the best title for this passage．
Are you learning a foreign language? Do you know what a successful language learner should do?
First of all, successful language learners are independent learners． They do not depend on books or teachers． They discover their own ways to learn the language． They also look for clues (线索) and get their own ideas by guessing． When they guess wrong, they try again． They try to learn from their mistakes．
Successful language learning is active learning, so successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language． They look for chances． They find native speakers and ask them for help when they make mistakes． They will try their best to communicate with others． They are not afraid to repeat what they heard or to say strange things．
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose (目的)． They want to learn the language in order to communicate with foreigners and learn about their lives, their culture and so on．

三、阅读填表
根据短文内容，完成下列表格。每空词数不限。
No matter how carefully we check a composition (作文), it seems there’s always one more little mistake waiting to be discovered． The following tips may help you find your mistakes before anybody else does．
First of all, give it a rest． If time permits (允许), set your composition aside for a few hours after you’ve finished it, and then read it carefully to correct mistakes with fresh eyes．
Secondly, look for one type of problem at a time． Read through your composition several times, concentrating first on sentence structures, then word choice, then spelling, and finally punctuation (标点)． As the saying goes, if you look for trouble, you’re likely to find it．
If you don’t believe in yourself, you can ask a friend for help． Read your composition to him aloud． You can also ask him to read it aloud． You may hear a problem that you haven’t been able to see． Your friend can also help you find some mistakes．
Then, try to read your composition backward (倒着)． Another way to catch spelling mistakes is to read backward, from right to left, starting with the last word in your composition．
Another method some writers usually use is to keep a list of the types of mistakes they commonly make, and then use the list each time they correct their works．

五、阅读回答问题
Usually, when we talk about reading, we think of using our eyes to see letters written in ink on paper． However, this is not always true． For example, blind people cannot see, but they can still read books．
The man who introduced blind people to reading was Louis Braille． Braille lost his eyesight at the age of three． When he was ten, he went to a school for the blind in Paris． In those days, books for blind people used paper pressed against metal wire to form letters． Since the metal wire was heavy, each book weighed as much as 100 pounds． Indeed, the school library only had fourteen such books in it．
In 1821, a soldier（士兵）visited the school and showed the students a system （系统）for passing messages at night． His system used paper with small, raised dots that could be felt with the fingers． Each letter of the alphabet was symbolized by a different pattern which consisted of twelve dots． The soldiers would pull their fingers over the raised dots to read the message．
While the students found the soldier’s idea interesting, the system was too difficult to be of practical use． However, young Louis Braille took the idea and worked on it． At the age of fifteen, he created a system with patterns of six raised dots symbolizing each letter． “Braille”, the system for reading used today by blind people around the world, was thus born．
The blind can easily recognize（辨别）Braille with their fingers． They can also easily write in Braille with a special typewriter． Today, it is the most common system used by blind people for reading and writing, and nearly every language, including Chinese, has its own version（版本）of Braille for its people to use．

I’m Mike Trent, a businessman from the United States． I have lived in China for more than seven years． Like many foreigners, I only knew two words of Chinese (“hello” and “thank you”) when I came to China in 2009． As you can probably guess, my life was difficult for a while after I arrived． Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite difficult for me．
I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I signed up for a class． My teacher was very helpful, although I didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation． Later I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow． I became very frustrated (沮丧的)．
Finally, I found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native (本土的) speakers and spend time with them． Around this time, I started playing in a band with a Chinese woman who became one of my best friends in Beijing． I learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out with her．
For example, she taught me a lot of words about music, such as “melody (旋律)”． She learned a lot of English from me in return, so it was a good way to exchange language and culture． She is still one of my best friends and we talk to each other nearly every day．
Now I’ve learned enough Chinese to take care of complex (复杂的) tasks, such as booking train tickets and negotiating (谈判) with my business partners．

Once there were five beggars(乞丐)． One was English, one Turkish, one Greek, one was an Arab and one was Persian． One day they met and decided to stay together, sharing what they had and helping each other in trouble times．
Soon a man passed them in the street and gave them a coin． They talked about what to do with it． At last they decided to buy something to eat．
“Let’s buy some grapes!” said the Englishman． But the Turkish wanted “uzum”, the Arab “aneb”, the Greek “stafelea”, and the Persian insisted on “angur”． They did not understand each other’s language very well． Soon they were quarrelling and even fighting．
While they were fighting about how to spend the money, a stranger came along． He knew all the five languages． He asked them why they were fighting． After they told him, he said, “Give me your coin． I will buy what you want．”
He was soon back with a bunch of grapes． Each beggar was happy, as each had what he had wanted． They all asked for the same thing, but the word for “grapes” is different in different languages． If people could understand each other, there would be no need to fight．

Recently I’ve had a discussion about the ways to learn English better with Tom, a student from Britain． In his opinion, the best ways are reading English newspapers and talking with others in English as often as possible． Also, he believes watching English films can be helpful．
I quite agree with him． I think we can also study English on the Internet． Besides, looking for a penfriend from an English-speaking country is a good way for us to know more about his or her language and culture． Finally, keeping an English diary with the help of the dictionary is useful to improve written English． These are our ideas． Could you please give me more advice on how to learn English?

Dear Lily,

It’s important for us to learn English, but learning a new language is not easy． I’d like to share some ways of my learning．
First, I think it’s useful to listen to English． Every morning, I listen to BBC after I wake up． Watching English movies is also helpful to me． Second, I speak English in class as much as possible． At first, I was afraid of making mistakes． With the help of my teacher, I knew that the more we speak, the fewer mistakes we’ll make． I also join the English club and practice with others． Third, I read English newspapers, magazines and novels． It can not only improve my reading ability but also widen my field of vision． At last, I recite many good passages which are good for my writing and I also keep diaries to make my writing better and better．
In a word, my English ability will be improved a lot as long as I do more listening, speaking, reading and writing．
