T 'went to the window and as I began 25 , I could feel my throat 26 and my eyes overflowed with tears. However I managed to tell him the story, and after writing a 27 I left carrying it.
The bicycle was 28 the next day, and Gayle's dream came true. The following day I received a letter that read:
Dear Bonnie,

Television is now playing a very important part in our life. But television, like many 31 things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the 32 outweigh (比…更重要) the latter?
In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also 33 comparatively cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is 34 as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.
All they have to do is 35 (press) a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention the latest 36 (excite) football match. Some people, 37 maintain that this is precisely 38 the danger lies. The television viewer makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything 39 (present) to 40 without any effort on his part.

A
Dogs have rules too
VIENNA, the capital of Austria, is graced by its wealth of art, music, museums and parks. But some locals are saying that the city's charm is damaged by dog owners who don't clean up after their pets.
And, last week they came up with a solution. There is a citywide campaign telling dog owners to pick up after their dogs. That means "Don't leave a mess on city streets and in parks."
There are about 158, 000 dogs in Vienna. The city requires their owners to bag the pet's mess when walking it outdoors. But it is believed that only a minority of the city's dog lovers actually follow the rules.
Every day dogs drop between 5 and 10 tons of their waste around the city. Vienna spends 7 million euros (70 million yuan) every year just to keep the streets mess-free.
The fine for leaving a dog mess is high — as much as 72 euros. The rules, however, are seldom enforced.
City officials said: "The city does a lot for peaceful co-existence by establishing areas for dogs or providing bags for dog waste. But dog owners must do their part as well and accept these offers."
Worldwide pet policies
Austria: Dog owners must get a licence when the dog is three months old. A rabies vaccination (狂犬病接种) is required. The dog must be kept on a leash (=be tied with a belt) in public places. Dangerous dogs must wear a muzzle (动物的口套) . Dogs are allowed in most public places at all times, including on buses. But dogs on public transport must wear a muzzle and the owner must buy the dog a ticket.
China: All dogs require a licence and a rabies vaccination. In some cities, such as Shanghai, neighbours' approval is required. In Beijing, the licence is 5, 000 yuan for the first year and 2, 000 yuan annually after that. A home can only have one dog and dogs are not allowed in some public places like supermarkets. In Beijing they are only allowed outdoors on a leash between 8 pm and 7 am.
US: Most states require a dog over four months old to have a licence. Fees range from a few dollars to 30 dollars. Dogs also need a rabies vaccination. The dog must wear a licence tag with the owner's name and address on it at all times. Most states put a maximum limit of five dogs for one home. Owners can get insurance to cover injury to the dog or damage done by the dog.
41. If a dog owner breaks the rules, ________.
A. he will be ordered to clean the street B. he will be charged for 72 euros
C. his dog will be punished D. his licence fee will cost more next rear
42. Wherever you are, when you want to raise a pet dog, what are the basic musts included?
A. Neighbour' approval, rabies vaccination. B. A muzzle, a licence, annual fee.
C. An insurance, rabies vaccination. D. A licence, rabies vaccination.
43. The writer believes that the rules in Vienna will __________.
A. be carried out thoroughly and effectively B. really work to solve the problem
C. be followed by most of the pet owners D. not make much sense to solve the problem
44. The city government in Vienna ___________ every year.
A. needs to spend 7 million euros just to do the cleaning of the streets
B. may get 70milliom yuan from cleaning the streets
C. shares a budget of 7 million euros on the dog mess problem

When Kirn Bogue accidentally threw her wallet away with her lunch leftovers, she had little hope that she'd recover the ￥900 and the credit cards inside.
With a team of co -workers, she twice searched the Santa Ana civic (市民的) buildings where she works as a doorwoman, but found nothing. "I was sick all weekend," said Bogue, who was saving the money for a trip to her native Thailand.
That same weekend, a homeless man came to the Santa Ana civic buildings and he was also searching for something. He made his routine visit to the dustbins nearby to look for waste cans and bottles. Instead, he found Bogue's wallet. That Monday, the man, who declined to be identified, gave the money to Sherry Wesley who works in one of the buildings.
" He came to me with the wallet wrapped in a plastic bag and said ' This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you return it?'" Wesley said.
Grateful, Bogue gave the man a ￥100 reward, which he split with Wesley. She gave the money to her church. While the money would serve as a tempting find, especially for a homeless man, Wesley said the man's actions did not surprise her.
"I know he has got the biggest heart," she said. "Somebody like that who is so down on their luck and willing to help someone out is a rare thing."
The man is familiar to many employees in the area, even though not everyone knows his name. The 6-foot—5-inch man could frighten most people, but he has a friendly and polite nature.
He greets people throughout the day and often speaks to Wesley, who serves food to the homeless community on Sundays with the Homeless Coalition of Orange County.
"Every Sunday he always gives us a few dollars for lunch even though it's free. He says ' You always bless me and I want to bless you back,'" she said.
46. Kirn Bogue lost her wallet ____.
A. because of her sickness B. because of her carelessness
C. with secret intention D. casually but deliberately
47. What can we leam about Kim Bogue?
A. She never doubted of getting the wallet back. B. She is from the country of Thailand.
C. She asked Wesley to give the man ￥100. D. She fell ill when having lunch.
48. The homeless man ____.
A. searched the dustbins nearby regularly B. returned the wallet to Bogue directly
C. told Sherry Wesley his identity D. took ￥100 as a reward from the loser
49. Which of the following is NOT proper to describe the homeless man?
A. Noble-minded. B. Tall. C. Lucky. D. Honest.
50. The passage mainly tells us about ____.
A. a homeless man who returned a wallet with ￥900
B. a doorwoman who recovered her wallet
C. Sherry Wesley, who works in the Santa Ana civic buildings
D. two women in the Santa Ana civic buildings
C
SEATTLE — As the pack ice that is the bedrock of their existence melts because of global warming, polar bears are facing great environmental stress that will cause their numbers to drop, according to a report by several of the world's leading specialists on the species.
In a closed meeting last month in Seattle, 40 members of the polar bear specialist group of the World Conservation Union concluded that the animals — the world's largest bears — should now be classified as a "vulnerable (脆弱的) " species.
Their conclusion was based on what they said was a likely 30 percent decline in their worldwide population over the next 35 to 50 years. There are now 20, 000 to 25, 000 polar bears across the Arctic.
"The principal cause of this decline is climatic warning," according to a statement of the meeting. "All the evidence is heading in the same direction," said Scott Schliebe, who led the Seattle meeting and is polar bear project leader in Alaska for the US Fish and Wildlife Service. "In a shrinking (收缩) ice environment, the ability of the bears to find food, to reproduce, and to survive will all be reduced." Schliebe said that he was speaking for the panel (专门小组) and not for the US government.
The panel's conclusions became public this week as President Bush traveled to the Group of Eight meeting in Scotland, where US officials have tried to prevent any specific targets for reducing so-called greenhouse gases from being included in the meeting. Those gases are widely believed to cause the warming that causes polar icecaps to melt.
The United States is the only G-8 member that has refused to permit the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书) , which calls for reducing poisonous gases that many scientists say are causing Earth to warm up.
The best information on the effect of global warming on polar bears comes perhaps from the western coast of Hudson Bay, in Manitoba. It found a 17 percent decline in the bears' population in the past 10 years, from 1, 200 to fewer than 1, 000. The panel in Seattle used the Canadian research as a basis for its warning about the future of polar bears around the world.
"We have seen with our own eyes that climatic warming is causing the ice to break up earlier," said Ian Stirling, a scientist for the Canadian Wildlife Service.
Ice is melting there about three weeks earlier than it did 30 years ago. "For a polar bear, not all weeks are created equal," Stirling said. "They are losing three weeks at the best time of the year for feeding on the ice, when little seals are abundant and bears put on fat that they store for the four months that they have to live onshore."
51. The reason why the number of polar bears will drop is that ____.
A. polar bears are becoming smaller in size B. polar icecaps are melting
C. polar bears are suffering from air pollution D. polar bears are forced to move
52. Which of the following statements is TRUE about polar bears?
A. They are the largest animal in the world.
B. 30 percent of them have died in the last 35 to 50 years.
C. There are 20, 000 to 25, 000 polar bears now.
D. Their ability to survive is being reduced.
53. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. Hudson Bay lies in Canada B. the United States is the only G-8 member
C. US wants to reduce greenhouse gases D. Schliebe was speaking for the US government
54. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph "For a polar bear, not all weeks are created equal" means ____.
A. different polar bears play different roles in their life in a year
B. some weeks are the best time for polar bears to survive and grow
C. polar bears have missed the best time of the year
D. polar bears play different parts at different times on the ice
55. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Bad Effects of Global Warming B. The Population of Polar' Bears on Earth
C. No More Greenhouse Gases D. Experts Predict Polar Bear Decline
第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息，请在答题卡上将对应题号的相
选项字母涂黑。
A resume (简历) is to convince an employer to offer you an interview. There are two kinds. One is the familiar "tombstone" that lists where you went to school and where you've worked in time order. The other is the "functional" resume— descriptive, fun to read, unique 'to you and much more likely to land you an interview.
What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers.
56. Put yourself first:
In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself.
57. Sell what you can do, not who you are:
Practice translating your personality, character, gift and achievements into skill areas. There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work. Show yours!
58. Be specific, be concrete, and be brief!
Remember that "brevity is the best policy." ?
59. Turn bad news into good:
Everybody has had disappointments in work. If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side.
60. Never apologize:
If you're returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph (summary of background). Don't apologize for working at being a mother;
it's the hardest job of all. If you have no special training or higher education, just don't mention education.
请阅读下面六个简历的信息，然后匹配与其相反的简历写伯建议。选项中有一项是多余的。
[A] A woman who lost her job as a teacher's assistant due to a cutback in government funding wrote: "Principal of elementary school told and considered me as the only teacher's assistant she would rehire if government funds became available."
[B] One resume I 'received included the following: "invited by my superior to straighten out our organization's accounts receivable. Set up orderly repayment schedule, reconciled accounts weekly, and improved cash flow 100 percent. Rewarded with raise and promotion." Notice how this woman focuses on results, specifies how she accomplished them, and mentions her reward-all in 34 words.
[C] For example, I have an ability for saving, managing and investing money. In my
resume, I wrote "I have money management skills."
[d] An acquaintance complained of not having been hired when losing an opportunity due
to the statement "Ready to learn though not so well educated" .
[E] One of my former colleagues wrote resumes in three different styles in order to find out
which was more preferred. The result is quite surprising.
[F] A woman once told me about a cash-flow crisis (资源流动危机) her employer had
faced. She'd agreed to work without pay for three months until business improved. Her
reward was her back pay plus a 20 percent bonus. I asked why that marvelous story
wasn't in her resume. She answered, "It wasn't important." What she was really
saying of course was "I'm not important."

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
It is well known that English learning is fairly important to the student, but also it is a money hunter. That is, students are, day by day, challenging the knowledge from a sea of reference books, cassette tapes, CDs and even VCDs.
Buying books is always the biggest sum of a student's expense, which has ranged from 10 to 60 RMB yuan during the latest decades. Perhaps VCDs may help students improve listening comprehension. Therefore, they have spent 50 RMB yuan on VCDs.
No one can deny the fact that CDs have something to do with learning English. In most situations, they are helpful to improve our understanding of foreign cultures, which are often considered difficult and tedious (=boring) for students to leam form the textbooks. Compared with this, listening tapes is rather boring, so in 1999 a student spent less than 20 RMB yuan on tapes.
However, much money does not mean obtaining a better acquisition of foreign language. It depends1 on how hard one works.

This is Room 2818.I’m calling to complain about the room I'm staying in. I booked a non-smoking room last week but this room is smoky. disappointed to find there is no hot water in the bathroom, the computer doesn't work and I can't get onto the Internet. I’m not really happy with the room and I would be grateful if you can change it for me.
第二节：读写任务(25分) Possible version:
While learning English, students buy reference books, tapes, CDs or VCDs, which cost them a large sum of money. These tools are helpful in learning English but they aren't everything.
I can't agree more. Reference books are necessary in solving difficulties; tapes are needed to improve listening; VCDs provide fun. With their assistance, we may find it easier and more interesting to learn English well. Therefore, having some necessary books or CDs is useful.
For example, an English-Chinese dictionary and an English-English dictionary are the basic tools for me. And I buy one reference book to go with each textbook. Besides, I prefer CDs to VCDs because CDs are more convenient in school. I seldom buy tapes since I don't have a tape-recorder.
Therefore, to make a sensible choice based on your own situation is important. More importantly, make full use of what you've got. Otherwise, no matter how much money you spend, It may be merely a waste. (159w)

Television is now playing a very important part in our life. But television, like many 31 things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the 32 outweigh (比…更重要) the latter?
In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also 33 comparatively cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is 34 as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.
All they have to do is 35 (press) a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention the latest 36 (excite) football match. Some people, 37 maintain that this is precisely 38 the danger lies. The television viewer makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything 39 (present) to 40 without any effort on his part.

Dogs have rules too
VIENNA, the capital of Austria, is graced by its wealth of art, music, museums and parks. But some locals are saying that the city's charm is damaged by dog owners who don't clean up after their pets.
And, last week they came up with a solution. There is a citywide campaign telling dog owners to pick up after their dogs. That means "Don't leave a mess on city streets and in parks."
There are about 158, 000 dogs in Vienna. The city requires their owners to bag the pet's mess when walking it outdoors. But it is believed that only a minority of the city's dog lovers actually follow the rules.
Every day dogs drop between 5 and 10 tons of their waste around the city. Vienna spends 7 million euros (70 million yuan) every year just to keep the streets mess-free.
The fine for leaving a dog mess is high — as much as 72 euros. The rules, however, are seldom enforced.
City officials said: "The city does a lot for peaceful co-existence by establishing areas for dogs or providing bags for dog waste. But dog owners must do their part as well and accept these offers."
Worldwide pet policies
Austria: Dog owners must get a licence when the dog is three months old. A rabies vaccination (狂犬病接种) is required. The dog must be kept on a leash (=be tied with a belt) in public places. Dangerous dogs must wear a muzzle (动物的口套) . Dogs are allowed in most public places at all times, including on buses. But dogs on public transport must wear a muzzle and the owner must buy the dog a ticket.
China: All dogs require a licence and a rabies vaccination. In some cities, such as Shanghai, neighbours' approval is required. In Beijing, the licence is 5, 000 yuan for the first year and 2, 000 yuan annually after that. A home can only have one dog and dogs are not allowed in some public places like supermarkets. In Beijing they are only allowed outdoors on a leash between 8 pm and 7 am.
US: Most states require a dog over four months old to have a licence. Fees range from a few dollars to 30 dollars. Dogs also need a rabies vaccination. The dog must wear a licence tag with the owner's name and address on it at all times. Most states put a maximum limit of five dogs for one home. Owners can get insurance to cover injury to the dog or damage done by the dog.
41. If a dog owner breaks the rules, ________.
A. he will be ordered to clean the street B. he will be charged for 72 euros

When Kirn Bogue accidentally threw her wallet away with her lunch leftovers, she had little hope that she'd recover the ￥900 and the credit cards inside.
With a team of co -workers, she twice searched the Santa Ana civic (市民的) buildings where she works as a doorwoman, but found nothing. "I was sick all weekend," said Bogue, who was saving the money for a trip to her native Thailand.
That same weekend, a homeless man came to the Santa Ana civic buildings and he was also searching for something. He made his routine visit to the dustbins nearby to look for waste cans and bottles. Instead, he found Bogue's wallet. That Monday, the man, who declined to be identified, gave the money to Sherry Wesley who works in one of the buildings.
" He came to me with the wallet wrapped in a plastic bag and said ' This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you return it?'" Wesley said.
Grateful, Bogue gave the man a ￥100 reward, which he split with Wesley. She gave the money to her church. While the money would serve as a tempting find, especially for a homeless man, Wesley said the man's actions did not surprise her.
"I know he has got the biggest heart," she said. "Somebody like that who is so down on their luck and willing to help someone out is a rare thing."
The man is familiar to many employees in the area, even though not everyone knows his name. The 6-foot—5-inch man could frighten most people, but he has a friendly and polite nature.
He greets people throughout the day and often speaks to Wesley, who serves food to the homeless community on Sundays with the Homeless Coalition of Orange County.
"Every Sunday he always gives us a few dollars for lunch even though it's free. He says ' You always bless me and I want to bless you back,'" she said.
46. Kirn Bogue lost her wallet ____.
A. because of her sickness B. because of her carelessness
C. with secret intention D. casually but deliberately
47. What can we leam about Kim Bogue?
A. She never doubted of getting the wallet back. B. She is from the country of Thailand.
C. She asked Wesley to give the man ￥100. D. She fell ill when having lunch.
48. The homeless man ____.
A. searched the dustbins nearby regularly B. returned the wallet to Bogue directly
C. told Sherry Wesley his identity D. took ￥100 as a reward from the loser
49. Which of the following is NOT proper to describe the homeless man?
A. Noble-minded. B. Tall. C. Lucky. D. Honest.
50. The passage mainly tells us about ____.
A. a homeless man who returned a wallet with ￥900
B. a doorwoman who recovered her wallet
C. Sherry Wesley, who works in the Santa Ana civic buildings
D. two women in the Santa Ana civic buildings

SEATTLE — As the pack ice that is the bedrock of their existence melts because of global warming, polar bears are facing great environmental stress that will cause their numbers to drop, according to a report by several of the world's leading specialists on the species.
In a closed meeting last month in Seattle, 40 members of the polar bear specialist group of the World Conservation Union concluded that the animals — the world's largest bears — should now be classified as a "vulnerable (脆弱的) " species.
Their conclusion was based on what they said was a likely 30 percent decline in their worldwide population over the next 35 to 50 years. There are now 20, 000 to 25, 000 polar bears across the Arctic.
"The principal cause of this decline is climatic warning," according to a statement of the meeting. "All the evidence is heading in the same direction," said Scott Schliebe, who led the Seattle meeting and is polar bear project leader in Alaska for the US Fish and Wildlife Service. "In a shrinking (收缩) ice environment, the ability of the bears to find food, to reproduce, and to survive will all be reduced." Schliebe said that he was speaking for the panel (专门小组) and not for the US government.
The panel's conclusions became public this week as President Bush traveled to the Group of Eight meeting in Scotland, where US officials have tried to prevent any specific targets for reducing so-called greenhouse gases from being included in the meeting. Those gases are widely believed to cause the warming that causes polar icecaps to melt.
The United States is the only G-8 member that has refused to permit the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书) , which calls for reducing poisonous gases that many scientists say are causing Earth to warm up.
The best information on the effect of global warming on polar bears comes perhaps from the western coast of Hudson Bay, in Manitoba. It found a 17 percent decline in the bears' population in the past 10 years, from 1, 200 to fewer than 1, 000. The panel in Seattle used the Canadian research as a basis for its warning about the future of polar bears around the world.
"We have seen with our own eyes that climatic warming is causing the ice to break up earlier," said Ian Stirling, a scientist for the Canadian Wildlife Service.
Ice is melting there about three weeks earlier than it did 30 years ago. "For a polar bear, not all weeks are created equal," Stirling said. "They are losing three weeks at the best time of the year for feeding on the ice, when little seals are abundant and bears put on fat that they store for the four months that they have to live onshore."
51. The reason why the number of polar bears will drop is that ____.
A. polar bears are becoming smaller in size B. polar icecaps are melting
C. polar bears are suffering from air pollution D. polar bears are forced to move
52. Which of the following statements is TRUE about polar bears?
A. They are the largest animal in the world.
B. 30 percent of them have died in the last 35 to 50 years.
C. There are 20, 000 to 25, 000 polar bears now.
D. Their ability to survive is being reduced.
53. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. Hudson Bay lies in Canada B. the United States is the only G-8 member
C. US wants to reduce greenhouse gases D. Schliebe was speaking for the US government
54. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph "For a polar bear, not all weeks are created equal" means ____.
A. different polar bears play different roles in their life in a year
B. some weeks are the best time for polar bears to survive and grow
C. polar bears have missed the best time of the year
D. polar bears play different parts at different times on the ice
55. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Bad Effects of Global Warming B. The Population of Polar' Bears on Earth
C. No More Greenhouse Gases D. Experts Predict Polar Bear Decline

A resume (简历) is to convince an employer to offer you an interview. There are two kinds. One is the familiar "tombstone" that lists where you went to school and where you've worked in time order. The other is the "functional" resume— descriptive, fun to read, unique 'to you and much more likely to land you an interview.
What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers.
56. Put yourself first:
In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself.
57. Sell what you can do, not who you are:
Practice translating your personality, character, gift and achievements into skill areas. There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work. Show yours!
58. Be specific, be concrete, and be brief!
Remember that "brevity is the best policy." ?
59. Turn bad news into good:
Everybody has had disappointments in work. If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side.
60. Never apologize:
If you're returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph (summary of background). Don't apologize for working at being a mother;
it's the hardest job of all. If you have no special training or higher education, just don't mention education.
请阅读下面六个简历的信息，然后匹配与其相反的简历写伯建议。选项中有一项是多余的。
[A] A woman who lost her job as a teacher's assistant due to a cutback in government funding wrote: "Principal of elementary school told and considered me as the only teacher's assistant she would rehire if government funds became available."
[B] One resume I 'received included the following: "invited by my superior to straighten out our organization's accounts receivable. Set up orderly repayment schedule, reconciled accounts weekly, and improved cash flow 100 percent. Rewarded with raise and promotion." Notice how this woman focuses on results, specifies how she accomplished them, and mentions her reward-all in 34 words.
[C] For example, I have an ability for saving, managing and investing money. In my
resume, I wrote "I have money management skills."
[d] An acquaintance complained of not having been hired when losing an opportunity due
to the statement "Ready to learn though not so well educated" .
[E] One of my former colleagues wrote resumes in three different styles in order to find out
which was more preferred. The result is quite surprising.
[F] A woman once told me about a cash-flow crisis (资源流动危机) her employer had
faced. She'd agreed to work without pay for three months until business improved. Her
reward was her back pay plus a 20 percent bonus. I asked why that marvelous story
wasn't in her resume. She answered, "It wasn't important." What she was really
saying of course was "I'm not important."

It is well known that English learning is fairly important to the student, but also it is a money hunter. That is, students are, day by day, challenging the knowledge from a sea of reference books, cassette tapes, CDs and even VCDs.
Buying books is always the biggest sum of a student's expense, which has ranged from 10 to 60 RMB yuan during the latest decades. Perhaps VCDs may help students improve listening comprehension. Therefore, they have spent 50 RMB yuan on VCDs.
No one can deny the fact that CDs have something to do with learning English. In most situations, they are helpful to improve our understanding of foreign cultures, which are often considered difficult and tedious (=boring) for students to leam form the textbooks. Compared with this, listening tapes is rather boring, so in 1999 a student spent less than 20 RMB yuan on tapes.
However, much money does not mean obtaining a better acquisition of foreign language. It depends1 on how hard one works.

This is Room 2818.I’m calling to complain about the room I'm staying in. I booked a non-smoking room last week but this room is smoky. disappointed to find there is no hot water in the bathroom, the computer doesn't work and I can't get onto the Internet. I’m not really happy with the room and I would be grateful if you can change it for me.
第二节：读写任务(25分) Possible version:
While learning English, students buy reference books, tapes, CDs or VCDs, which cost them a large sum of money. These tools are helpful in learning English but they aren't everything.
I can't agree more. Reference books are necessary in solving difficulties; tapes are needed to improve listening; VCDs provide fun. With their assistance, we may find it easier and more interesting to learn English well. Therefore, having some necessary books or CDs is useful.
For example, an English-Chinese dictionary and an English-English dictionary are the basic tools for me. And I buy one reference book to go with each textbook. Besides, I prefer CDs to VCDs because CDs are more convenient in school. I seldom buy tapes since I don't have a tape-recorder.
Therefore, to make a sensible choice based on your own situation is important. More importantly, make full use of what you've got. Otherwise, no matter how much money you spend, It may be merely a waste. (159w)
