Do you want to be an excellent English user, and how can you to be a good language user?

D. To a gym.

Since different people face different situations, I would like to give some general advice. First of all, you should be clear about your aim of learning English. Do you want to learn for your job, to help you stay abroad or to watch English movies?

Secondly, you should set a goal for your English level. How good you want your English to be? Thirdly, you should make a deadline for your goals.

Fourthly, you should better take an English course if you can pay for it. If it is impossible, you can go to every place where you can use English as much as possible, such as English corners or English salons.

Fifth, you should look for opportunities to learn and use English. Speak and listen to English as much as you can and read English whenever you are free. If you don’t want to lose it, use it. Opportunities will be available if you are seeking for it.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain(一定的) time. They move for different reasons : most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.

When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse(鼠). They leave their mountain homes when it becomes too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.

Recently (近来), scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why human and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to move.

46.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _______. A. give birth C. find food more easily

B. enjoy warmer weather D. find beautiful places

47.The fish called “salmon” stays a long time in ______. A. fresh water

B. rivers

C. salt water

D. its birthplace

48. The mice(鼠) in northern Europe move when _______. A. they give birth C. the weather is bad 49.The lobsters move ________. A. to the fresh water C. to the undersea

B. at a certain(一定的) time D. to find more food

B. the place gets too crowded D. they haven’t enough food

50. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Animals move to find food more easily.

6

B. The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration. C. Living things move from one place to another.

D. We don’t think it’s important to know why and how living things move from one place to another.

For that reason, more companies that make 71 books are now making electronic books (ebooks).
