You might think native English speakers are the best at speaking English. But some experts believe that when it comes to communicate in English, non-native English speakers are actually better at it.
"Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understand each other. And then suddenly an American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them," Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based expert, told the BBC.
Chong said that happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, use jokes, slang and make references to their country that others might not understand. "Once I told my workmate "no dramas", which means "no problem". She thought I was calling her a drama queen!" he said.
But don't worry. Experts say that it is the native speaker's fault if you can't understand them, not yours. The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don't be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.
(1) What do you know from paragraph 1
A．Native English speakers are the best at speaking the English language.
B．It's a good way for people from different countries to communicate in English.

a. They are poor at communication b. They don't like foreigners c. They talk too fast d. They use jokes and slang e. They make references to their country
A．abc B．bcd C．cde D．acd
(3) When the writer used the phrase "no dramas", his workmate thought it meant "_____".
A．You're welcome
B．You are too serious about small problems
C．You can play dramas well
D．You are not as beautiful as a queen
(4) When you find it difficult to understand native English speakers, _____.
A．you can ask them to slow down

When a thought has found words
Poetry (诗歌) is the forgotten child of literature. Few people read it for pleasure. In Western high schools, poetry is s taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today's students.
In China, however, poetry is s an important part of the curriculum (课程). Recently, the Ministry of Education has i the number of old Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite, from 14 to 72. Why is it important to learn poems
First of all, poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese c . It is a path to understanding your history and your society. It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that are c to everyone but that we may be unable to express—the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example. Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger, and a good poem can put those feelings into w and bring us self-understanding.
Poems can also express beauty. In a few short l , even something common can become beautiful. Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes/ on silent haunches (弓腰)/ and then moves on. Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and like a cat, and Sandberg c that feeling and image (形象), and makes it beautiful.
Of course, to really enjoy poetry, it has to be read aloud. After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most a poetry, like Homer's Epics (《荷马史诗》) and China's Book of Songs (《诗经》), was spoken for hundreds of years before it was w . The American poet Robert Frost said, "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."
You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!
