In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it spoken. Suddenly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to compose sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to arrange sentences in paragraphs, so as to write good letter or composition.

听第十段材料，回答第18、19、20三个小题
The American family is changing. In fact, today there isn’t one typical American family, but rather there are many types of families. In the past, however, there were more or less typical U. S. families.
During the first half of this century, the “average” family had a mother ,a father, and two or more children. In addition, aunts, uncles, and grandparents would often live with their relatives in extended family groups. In rural families, the entire family usually worked together on the farm. In urban families, the father held a job while the mother was homemaker. In both rural and urban families, the mother generally took care of the house and children, and divorce was unusual.
By World War II, the typical family had begun to change. Thousands of farm families had moved to the cities in search of jobs, and the nuclear family was becoming more common. Large numbers of women had begun to work outside the home, though most mothers continued to be housewives.
Since the 1960s, U. S. families have changed a great deal, partly because of the high divorce rate in America. Increasing economic pressures have also led to new variations on the American family. Today, in addition to traditional families, there are single – parent families, step or blended families, and families with young children where both parents work full – time.
