         I  still remember father spent plenty of time teaching me how to

my father used to say to me, "I love you, son. Say you love me, son. "  
Naturally ,I would scream, "I love you, Dad. " When I was growing up,
I found that I had little in  2 with my father gradually.Sometimes we often
argued about something sharply and then the argument changed into a
quarrel(争吵). I knew there was a gap between us. I didn't  3  hearing

       A few years ago, an Englishman called Roy Jones went on holiday to
a small town near the sea in the west of England. He was swimming in the
sea one day. As he opened his mouth, his false ( not real) teeth fell out and
floated(漂) away. The following year, Mr. Jones returned  to the same
town. When he was having dinner in a local cafe one evening, he mentioned
the story of his lost teeth  to the manager. The manager looked surprised.
He explained that he had found a set of false teeth on the beach last month.
Then he asked Roy Jones if he wanted to try them on. "OK. " said Mr.
Jones. "I suppose it won't do any harm. " When the manager brought him
the teeth, Mr. Jones put them into the mouth, and laughed and laughed.
They were his !

to the beach and searched for the ring for three hours, but couldn't find it.
A few months later, Mr. Bentley went fishin8 0ff the same beach. As he
pulled a large crab(螃蟹) out of the sea, he noticed that there was
something on one of its claws(爪) . It was his wife's wedding ring !

       Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says " Learn a foreign
language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your
pronunciation will be excellent. Just send..."  and so on?
      Of course, it never happens quite like that. Anyone who learns a
foreign language would think that it is not true.
     The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. What is
the mother tongue? It is the first and main language that you learnt when
you were a child. And think how much practice that a child gets!
      Before the Second World War, people usually learned a foreign
language in order to read the literary (文学的) works of the  country.
Nowadays, speaking the foreign language is what most people want.
Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they
do it?
      Some people try at home , with books and tapes; some use radio
or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the
language only two or three times a week, learning it will take a long
time, like language leaning at school. A few people try to lean a
language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly
easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However,
most people cannot afford this, and many language learners need the
language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and
doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign
language. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the
student's work for him. Whether the language is learned quickly or
slowly, it is hard work with a lot of training in reading, listening,
speaking, and writing.

1. In the advertisement it is possible for a person to learn a foreign, language          In fact, everyone
who learns English would think it is not true.

A. using the language six or more hours a day
B. learning the language at school
C. studying the language in the foreign country
D. reading the foreign stories as many as possible 

       You should be careful in the giving of gifts. Never give a gift in a job
interview or go to a business meeting. Gifts are usually given during special
holidays or as "thank you" for special invitations.
       At the time of arriving, you may give your gift to the host (主人) once
the introductions are made. With gift giving a few rules are in order: Be
modest  (适度的 ) with  your  gift, do  not  buy  expensive gifts.
      Special food from your country or a bottle of wine are best if you do
not know the host very well,but be certain that your gift will not require
attention. You can usually say something like "I thought you would like
this a little later" when you offer your gift.
     Be careful of giving wine , a bottle of wine is usually all right if you
know your host drinks wine. Flowers are good but remember: roses are
for personal relationships. Do not give roses. Cut flowers are nice if they
are in a vase(花瓶) . A small cultural gift from your'country is usually
very suitable. 
     Make sure your gift is packaged nicely with a nice card.

3. We can ________ some gifts each other during the special holidays ,
such as Christmas Day.

The girl( G) has talked with some foreign teachers at the English Corner.
Now she is telling her English teacher ( T) about it.
