Everything has a name. All people, places, and things have names. For example, Jenny is the name of a student from England. England is the name of her country. Cities and towns have names, too. Schools and office buildings also have names. All things have names. For example, tomato, potato and bean are names of vegetables. Apple, orange and banana are names of fruits. Names are important.

We use names every day. When we meet a new person, we usually ask: "What's your name?" It's important to learn a person's name. Most people have two names. Some people have more names. Names are different all over the world. In Jenny's class, Jenny must learn the names of students from all over the world. This is very difficult because the names are different.

In the USA, most people have a first name, a middle name, and a last name. Parents choose the first and middle names for their baby. There are names for boys and names for girls. For example, John, Peter, Tom and Mike are all names for boys. Elizabeth, Betty, Susan, and Mary are all names for girls. The last name is the family name. Usually it is the father's family name. In a family, the mother, the father, and the children usually have the same last name.

Sometimes a person has a nickname, too. A nickname is a special name. It is not a person's real name. Abraham Lincoln's nickname was 'Honest Abe'. An honest person always tells the truth, and Abe is short for Abraham. Because he was an honest person, his nickname was 'Honest Abe '. Pele is a nickname, too. The football player's real name is Edison Arantes de Nascimento, but everyone calls him Pele. Do you have a nickname?

To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write.Lenin and his wife translated a long English book into Russian but when they went to England in 1902, English people couldn't understand a word Lenin and his wife said, and Lenin and his wife couldn't understand what was said to them.This shows the importance of spoken language.

Speaking, of course can't go without listening.If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly.The sounds of Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same.If you don't listen carefully, you'll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.

Well, what about writing﹖ Like speaking, it's to exchange ideas.People usually use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing.

The important thing is to make your idea clear in your mind and then to write it in a clear lively language.

Chinese students read too slowly.If you read fast, you understand better.If you read too slowly by the time you have reached to the end of a page, you have forgotten what the beginning is about.When you meet with new words, don't look them up in the dictionary.Guess the meaning from the context. You may not guess quite correctly the first time but as new words appear again and again in different context their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, you'll never finish a book.

Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they're studying. They should study those subjects in the foreign language not only in translation.In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.

51.In England Lenin    

A.could be understood by Englishmen

B.could understand Englishmen

C.and Englishmen couldn't understand each other

D.and Englishmen could understand each other

52.In the first paragraph the writer told us     

A.how to speak English

B.how to read and write

C.why English people couldn't understand the Lenins

D.why spoken English is important

53.In the fifth paragraph the writer advised us on    

A.how to guess the meaning of the words

B.how to read fast

C.how to look up new words in the dictionary

D.how to read carefully

54.“Kill two birds with one stone” means    

A.to get some particular knowledge

B.to get more than what one pays

C.the stone is very useful

D.the birds are blind enough

55.In the last paragraph the writer advised us    

A.to kill two birds with one stone

B.to learn two languages at the same time

C.to study all the subjects in a foreign language

D.to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language we are studying
