Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Even after studying English for years, many Chinese students find it hard to express themselves. Last week their worries were confirmed by the results of research into global IELTS scores in 2007 and 2008.
Although Chinese examinees did well in reading and listening, they scored the lowest out of any other countries in speaking.
This embarrassing result challenges the old English teaching pattern in China. It focuses too much on points of grammar and sentence structure, while losing sight of the language's communicative skills. But all skills improve with practice. What's more important is whether we have tried our best to practise.
A teenage reader told teens of his experience. One day, when he tried talking to his classmates in English, they not only refused to speak it but laughed at him as well. The boy was hurt and didn't know whether to continue his efforts.
What his classmates did is unwise. We all know practice is everything when it comes to improving speaking English, but most lose their chance while worrying about making mistakes.
Many teenagers owe their reluctance to the lack of an English environment. They put all their hope in getting a foreign partner or ask parents to send them abroad. Yet, they fail to see that opportunities lie everywhere, at any time.
While walking to school or waiting for a bus, you can speak to yourself in your mind on some topics or make up a dialogue. Invite your friends to chat in English for a little bit after school. Lots of people also make progress by playing English tapes until they can understand them without looking at the captions (说明), and then follow the pronunciation.
Of course, the best way to learn English varies from person to person. But, as the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”. You're certain to laugh at the end as long as you keep trying.

A. Because they lack an English environment.
B. Because they are too shy.

Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move and acting as a team member are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as ropejumping and hideandseek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they_translate_life_into_exciting_dramas_that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作).
Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grownups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called “bones”, which sharpens the handeye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or wars, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
