Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill -- one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained form books. It is possible to get from books idea of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory.

He said he wouldn’t go on for too long, and we saw him take his wrist-watch off and lay it on the table. I can’t remember what he said about smoking because Slater and I had other things to think about. He finished when the bell rang for play-time, and the headmaster told us to go out. Slater happened to slip… In the playground Slater showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked lovely. I was wishing that I’d been the one to slip by table, because it was a beautiful watch, gold by the look of it. The headmaster came outside then, and the old boy was with him. They walked about, looking around talking all the time. After a bit the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in. The headmaster said, “I’ve got a little job for you boys. This gentleman, our lecturer, has just lost his watch in the playground. It’s happened before, he says –it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will? See if you’re clever enough to find it. I’ve no doubt the boy who dose so will get a useful reward.” Well, of course, Slater wasn’t going to miss a chance like that. He’s just about the luckiest devil in the school --- rewards just drop into his hands. We all walked about the play ground, looking for the watch. And I wasn’t a bit surprised when Slater bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the old man. “Where are you going?” I called out, though I knew very well where he was going. “Where do you think?” he called back. And the next minute there was Slater, all smiles, handing over the watch to the old fellow and hanging about for the reward. But the lecturer didn’t seem at all pleased. In fact he looked quit ready to put a knife in Slater’s heart--- until the headmaster burst out laughing. Then they both laughed. Slater told afterwards that the old man didn’t even said “Thank you” for the watch. The thing that puzzled me most of all was that Slater didn’t get any reward. When he reminded the headmaster about it, the headmaster said: “Ah yes, we mustn’t forget that. I said ‘a useful reward’ didn’t I?” And the he gave Slater a big sheet of paper and told him to write a composition on the evils of smoking. Slater says he hasn’t got a clue what to write. (66%) 36. What were the two boys thinking about during the lecture? A).They were not thinking about anything. B) They were thinking about the evils of smoking. C) About the watch – and how to get it perhaps. D)They thought that the headmaster was very clever. 37. Why did the story-teller wished that he had slipped? A) Because it was a beautiful watch. B) Because he thought he could have taken the watch if he had slipped. C) Because the watch wouldn’t have been lost if that had happened. D) Because in that case he wouldn’t have given it back to the lecturer. 38. “The headmaster came out then, and the old boy was with him.” Who was the old boy? A) An old student. B) The lecturer. C) The headmaster’s son. D) A servant. 39. When Slater “bent down”, what was he trying to do? A) He had to bend down in order to pick up the watch. B) He was trying to hide the fact that he had found the watch. C) The watch had slipped off his wrist, and he was trying to pick it up. D) He was pretending to have found the watch
40. Why didn't Slater get the kind of reward he expected? A)Because the headmaster had forget it, probably B) Because the lecturer did not agree to give him any reward C) Because the headmaster never meant to give the usual kind of reward to anyone D) Because the he er did not keep his word Why don't birds get lost on their long migratory flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question foe many years. Now they are beginning to fill the blanks. Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that mainly fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights One such birds-a warbler(a]14)-had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky at migration time. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird's cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-belief stars caused a change in the direction of hi flight Scientists thought that warblers, when flying in the daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, cost lines, and river course. But when it's too dark to see these, the warblers circle helpless, unable to get their bearings(j a/ k).
