When I saw Ronny for the first time, he looked like other kids in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as a Reading Mom. However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes.
On the day when it was Ronny's turn to read, he sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out “Bud the Sub”. It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said because of his difficulty with the alphabet （字母表）.
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but he was still not good at reading. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award ceremony
（颁奖典礼）. I had gifts and certificates （证书） for everyone. It took me a while to think about which fitted Ronny. I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on “The Most Progressive Reader”. I showed him the certificate and a book.
A few days later, I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school.
His teacher said, “He hasn't put that book down. That's the first book he's ever owned.”
Fighting back tears I came near Ronny and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny ” He nodded （点头）. And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more smoothly （流畅地） than I'd ever thought. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said, “Good book.”
At that moment, I was so deeply moved that I made a big decision—to care children and make them excellent.

C
There are about 6,000 languages spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out.
This has many reasons. One is that some communities （群体） of native （本地 的 ） speakers of the languages are gone. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns. What's more, to get better education and jobs, young people have to pay their attention to learning more popular languages like English, French and Chinese rather than their own languages.
Once a language dies, it hardly comes back to life. Governments across the world are taking action to stop this. In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20 percent of the country's population to be able to speak Maori （毛利语） by 2040. The country plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025. China is also trying to protect its languages. In 2015, the government started a project
（项目） to record about 130 languages spoken in China. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority （少数民族） language lessons for their students.
Some languages are in danger. It is just a fact. However, all languages are human heritage （遗产）. When we lose a language, we lose the culture of the people who
speak it. Language itself is often the only way to show a certain community's history and culture, as well as its knowledge of things like math and geography.

A useful skill in English is to be able to tell a story. Learning how to tell better stories can help you become a better communicator generally.
How to start 36 However, if you are going to tell your story after someone else has already spoken, you can say something like, “Something similar happened to me…”
37 First of all, your story should be quite short. Try to keep it simple in grammar as well, so that it is easy to follow. Make it easy for the listener to
understand by using sequencing words （first of all, secondly and so on） and linking words （because, as a result, in short and so on）.
Tenses （时态）. We can use a lot of tenses to tell stories. Jokes are often in the present tense. We also use the present tense to give a dramatic effect. 38 Use the past continuous （连续的） to describe activities in progress at the time of your story, or to describe the background.
Vocabulary. 39 Remember that you can “exaggerate （夸张）” when you tell a story, so instead of using words like “nice” or “bad”, try more interesting words, such as “beautiful”, “fabulous” or “wonderful”.
Finally, remember that you are telling a story. Look at the people listening, and try to make them take part in the story. 40 You might want to try practising a few stories in the mirror before “going live”. Have fun!
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
How to tell your story
Traditional stories often start with “Once upon a time”. C.However, we generally use past forms to talk about past events.
Try to use all kinds of words to make your story more interesting.
Keep eye contact （交流）, and use the right rise and fall of the voice in speaking.

Nowadays, lots of foreigners are learning Chinese. Like many of them, I only knew two 56 of Chinese （“Ni Hao” and “Xie Xie” ） when I first came to Beijing, China in 2009. As you can guess, my life was 57 for a while after I arrived. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite stressful.
I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I attended （参加） a Chinese class. My teacher was helpful （有帮助的）, 58 I didn't learn enough to have a real conversation. Later I studied on my own as well, but my 59 was still slow. And I decided to give up.
Around this time, I started 60 in a band with a Chinese man who became one of my best friends in Beijing. He 61 me a lot of words about music such as “melody”. He learned a lot of English 62 me in return, so it was a good way to exchange （交流） language and culture.
I have learned enough Chinese to 63 with many problems like booking train tickets. These days, there are more foreigners who are studying Chinese.

understand by using sequencing words（first of all, secondly and so on） and linking
words（because, as a result, in short and so on）.
Tenses（时态）. We can use a lot of tenses to tell stories. Jokes are often in the
present tense. We also use the present tense to give a dramatic effect. 38 C Use the
past continuous（连续的） to describe activities in progress at the time of your story,
or to describe the background.
Vocabulary. 39 D Remember that you can“exaggerate（夸张）” when you
tell a story, so instead of using words like“nice” or“bad”, try more interesting
words, such as“beautiful”,“fabulous” or“wonderful”.
Finally, remember that you are telling a story. Look at the people listening, and
try to make them take part in the story. 40 E You might want to try practising a few
stories in the mirror before“going live”. Have fun!

friend final teach although deal
difficult word from progress play
Nowadays, lots of foreigners are learning Chinese. Like many of them, I only
knew two 56 words of Chinese（“Ni Hao” and“Xie Xie”） when I first came
to Beijing, China in 2009. As you can guess, my life was 57 difficult for a while after
I arrived. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite stressful.
I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I attended（参加） a Chinese class. My
teacher was helpful（有帮助的）, 58 althoughI didn't learn enough to have a real
conversation. Later I studied on my own as well, but my 59 progress was still slow.
And I decided to give up.
Around this time, I started 60 playing in a band with a Chinese man who became
one of my best friends in Beijing. He 61 taught me a lot of words about music such as
“melody”. He learned a lot of English 62 from me in return, so it was a good way
to exchange（交流） language and culture.

I have learned enough Chinese to 63 deal with many problems like booking train
tickets. These days, there are more foreigners who are studying Chinese. I can realize

them.

“How about meeting at two o'clock OK ”“OK.” Every day, we use the
word“OK” a lot. It is easy to say, write and understand.
The word first showed up in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839. It 66
was a short form of the phrase（短语）“oll korrect”, a wrong spelling of“all
correct”. Although it was only a joke then, people later began writing“OK” 67
on papers and using“OK” on the telegraph（电报）. It means that all is well.
68 There are many different ways of spelling“OK”, including“okay” and
“OK”. They have 69 the same pronunciation. But“OK” is more common and
people often use it in writing. Some people like“okay” better because it looks
more like a word.
Next time, when you travel to another country, 70 don't worry if you don't know
the language well. Saying“OK”with gestures（手势） can help you out.
66. was
67. on

Methods of learning English
Here are my methods of learning English. First, I usually watch English movies
and listen to English songs. I think it's a relaxing way to learn correct pronunciation
and proper expressions. Second, reading passages on the same topic helps a lot in
learning new words. In this way, the new words can be repeated and I can understand
their meanings better. What's more, it's a good habit to keep a diary in English. That
helps me think in English and improve my writing skills as well.
English is a bridge which connects the world and us. It's interesting to learn it. I
hope I can make greater progress in the future.
