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 is your translation?It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages don't just have different sounds;they are different in many ways. It's important to master the rules for the word order in the study of English,too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order,the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed,the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when 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 movie already.”“I have already seen the movie.”
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.
( )11.From the passage we know that ________ when we are learning English.
A.we shouldn't put every word into our own language
B.we should look up every word in the dictionary
C.we need to put every word into our own language
D.we must read word by word
( )12.The writer thinks it is ________ in learning English.
A.difficult to understand different sounds
B.possible to remember the word order
C.important to master the rules for the word order
D.easy to master the rules for the word order
( )13.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
B.the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C.sometimes different orders of words have different meanings
D.if the order of words is different,the meaning of the sentence must be different
( )14.“She only likes apples.”________
A.is the same as “Only she likes apples.”
B.is different from “Only she likes apples.”
C.means “She likes fruit except apples.”
D.means “She doesn't like apples.”
( )15.Which is the best title for this passage

A Carpenter’s Story
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire(退休). He told his boss of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife and family.
The boss was sorry to see his skillful worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used shoddy workmanship(粗糙的手艺) and low-quality materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a perfect career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his boss came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said,“This is you house. It’s my gift to you.”
The carpenter was shocked!
“What a shame! If I had only known he was building my own house, I would have done it all so differently...” the carpenter said to himself.
So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often put less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.
But, you cannot go back. Someone once said,“Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your attitude and the choices you made today, help build the “house” you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build wisely!
