Hi, my name is Toby, and I am now eight years old. When I was five, I decided that I wanted to find out lots about the world, so I started writing letters to somebody in every country in the world. I started the project because I wanted to find out more about the world, help people understand each other better, and make the world a better place---and I still do! It’s really not easy to find people in every country, but lots of people have helped me. Thank you!

We look up all countries, and I think of questions I would like to ask. I’m interested in history, stars and planets, science, wild animals, film making, writing, dancing, reading and how people protect the environment in lots of places all over the world! I also want to know how people live, what food they eat, and what school is like! Until now, I’ve written 780 letters and gotten 327 replies.

I write all letters by hand. My mother is looking after this website for me. You can read all the letters I have written, and all the replies I have gotten. I am also raising money for Shelter Box, because they help people in need all over the world. Thank you for reading about my project!

16.Toby began his project three years ago.

17.Toby thinks it is easy to find people in every country.

18.Toby’s questions show that he is a person of wide interests

19.Toby has gotten replies for each letter he has written.

20.Toby looks after his website by himself.

As an English, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

Some statistics(数据) from the survey done by the European Commission(欧盟委员会) showed that 62﹪of the British people only speak English.38﹪speak at least one foreign language and 18﹪speak two or more .Compared with the British people, 56﹪of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28﹪speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. Tha t’s why many people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language. In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign language at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve

language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices. Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!

A. America

B. China

C. Britain

22. Which of the following about the British people is true?

23. According to the passage, students in Britain prefer to learn

A. science or German

B. history or German

C. science or history

D. German or French

24. In Paragraph 4,“an option” means

A. a choice

B. a game

C. a mistake

D. a conversation

25. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Speaking English

B. Foreign language learning in UK

They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture. The honeymoon period At first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes. Trouble in paradise In many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background. The road to recovery Gradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness. Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind. 21. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first? A. They find foreign living much easier. B. They have the necessary language skills. C. They love the adventure and exploration. D. They enjoy meeting people from different cultures. 22. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face? A. Homesickness. B. Culture shock C. Health problems. D. Lack of employment. 23. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do? A. Study the local language. B. Go on holidays frequently. C. Learn how to open a bank account. D. Seek out people from their home country. B Australia loves interesting money. In 1988, it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future! At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant. Tilt（使倾斜）the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of “5” changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining, that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them. Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes. The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money. It has a raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value. The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria. To
