A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案):6%
Many people always say that listening to spoken English is too hard for them. But if you don’t understand what people are saying, how can you talk with them It may be difficult, but learning by listening is necessary. It can be done.
As we know, different people have different pronunciations(发音) of the same word. Standard(标准的) pronunciation is important for English speaking as well as for listening. In China, people from one area may not understand what people from another area are saying because of the different Chinese dialects (方言 ). Standard Chinese pronunciation can help people from different places understand each other easily.
It is the same with English. If your pronunciation is not standard, it is as hard for other people to understand you as it is for you to understand them. You can do it well like this.
Get some good books with tapes. Do the exercises, from the simple to the difficult, step by step.
You can also watch English-language films, listen to English-1anguage radio and TV programs.
Try to listen every day, even if only for a few minutes. At first you may understand few words. Don’t give up. Just listen.
Remember to read and speak English every day. It will help you to listen better. Spend an hour reading English every day and finally you will notice that you’re making progress.
Talk to English-speaking foreigners as often as possible. Foreigners will speak more slowly with you, use simple words, and use body languages to help you understand them. Don’t be afraid to talk to them. They won’t mind because they may have more trouble making themselves understood in Chinese.

Why do we count things in group of ten The reason is that we have ten fingers. Long time ago, when people had to count a lot of things, they matched them against their 66 . First they counted out enough objects (物)to match the fingers of 67 and then put them aside in one group. 68 there were more than ten, they formed more groups. We can call our numbers ‘two-handed’ numbers, because they developed from the 69 that people counted things on two hands.
Some people had ‘one-handed numbers’, too. Because there are five fingers on one hand, they counted things out in groups of five. It was 70 by Romans. We call them Roman numerals and even use them today. In Roman numerals, ‘I’ stands for one and ‘V’ stands for five.
71 people counted objects in groups of 12. We still use the 12-in-one-group system for telling time with a clock. We count the 72 from one to twelve and then start with one again.

Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency (紧急事件) , like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who is sick. Other days she is in the driver’s seat. Sometimes Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to take care of. Her husband is a firefighter, too.
Renee remembers the first time when she fought a fire. She was awoken early on a winter morning by the alarm. She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do.
When I asked Renee what the best part of her job was, she replied, “Helping people and saving their lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero (英雄). She’s always glad to do anything for anyone in trouble. With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women.
I think she’s great. We could never live without people like her who are glad to help others. Renee’s deed helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope some day to be just like her: always be ready to help people in trouble every day.
