22、I moved here three years ago, and because of my business, I needed to fly both to Taiwan and the United States often. When I travelled alone, I felt lonely because I couldn’t speak English well. I made a decision that I had to learn English and study very hard.

I like to be in Rita Colina’s class at the Chinese Community Centre in Houston. I have many chances to speak and talk to others. Before I came to the class, I always walked away when I met any foreigner. I know that pronunciation, grammar and conversation are very important for me, so I came to this class. It’s completely different now. I try to communicate with Americans in English by myself. It’s really great for a person like me to live here. Now I like to talk to foreigners. I like to go to American supermarkets, Starbuck’s coffee shops and the post office. I can drive anywhere I like to go because I know the road signs. Not only the skill of life becomes more flexible（灵活的）, but also I really like to live here.

I learn English in four ways: First of all, I listen to what the teacher teaches in class. Then I keep speaking during the class. Second, I do my homework right away when I get home. I memorize at least five vocabulary words every day. Thirdly, I listen to American radio stations, and I watch the news channels and other American programmes with my family every day. I ask them whatever I don’ t know. Finally, I go to American stores as often as possible, so I will have more chances to learn more new words, and find any chance to talk to Americans in English.

Anyway, the most important thing is not to be afraid to open your mouth. It doesn’t matter even though you speak incorrectly. It’s a good start. I’m very grateful for the teaching and encouragement from Ms Colina. That is the key to the door of learning English for me.

【1】The writer flew both to Taiwan and the United States ________.

A．as a teacher

A．used to talk to foreigners

B．could drive anywhere she wanted to go

C．would not like to meet any foreigner

D．practised English in supermarkets, coffee shops and the post office

【4】The underlined word “grateful” in the last paragraph means “________”.

A．beautiful

B．careful

D．thankful

【5】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．how the writer moved to America

B．the writer’s story in learning English

24、In March, 2013, the H7N9 virus hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough.

Don’t be afraid — it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is some advice to help you protect yourself when it comes.

Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses.

Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneezes (打喷嚏) or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you’d better keep a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.

Wear a mask (口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.

Do sports often. Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist the virus.

【1】Most people who were infected with H7N9 had   .

A. a common flu   B. a stomachache

B. You should cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough.

C. Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 100%.

D. It’s easy to be infected with the H7N9 virus.

【3】How many ways to stop the virus are mentioned in the passage?

A. Three.   B. Four.   C. Five.   D. Six.

【4】What does the underlined word “resist” mean in Chinese?

A. 抵抗   B. 传播   C. 感染   D. 消灭

【5】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. It tells us how to wash hands.
