"home", but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the
names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that
these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their
original countries and have become "American" is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more
often a kind of "side-by-side" living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many
of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives-such
as in schools, business, and sports-but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially
and at home. This living "side-by-side" has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause
disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However,
there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands.
There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone
can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups,
or newspapers.
B. they settle there now
C. they want to make their home there
D. they like that land very much
B. to keep their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas
C. the groups of people who live nearby
D. that they get closer to American society
B. "Side-by-side" living style is not suitable.
C. Americans from different lands face the society they are not familiar with.
D. The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make life in America colorful.
B. Different Customs and Habits.
C. Home for the People.
D."Side-by-side" Living Style in America.

job. 1 .
So, you have to give a speech-and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to
say, you stumble (结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think,
"Thank Goodness, it"s over. I"m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again."
Cheep up! 2 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the
purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you
can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time
organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible,
and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3 . Don"t talk over
their heads, and don"t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your
thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 4 . And
be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your
audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don"t have to be afraid of public speaking. In
fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You"re not
convinced yet? 5 .

to go to school or go home.

speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call someone who speaks one language? An American.
To people in many countries, being bilingual or even trilingual is a way of life. But since the mother
tongue of most Americans is English-a language widely spoken around the world-they often don"t feel the
need to learn a foreign language. Moreover, people who live in the heartland of America have little contact
with other linguistic groups, making foreign language skills irrelevant.
Actually, though, this"land of immigrants" has always had people of many different nationalities and
languages. The 1990 census indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English at home. Yet
only 3% reported that they spoke English "not well" or "not at all". That means that slightly more than one
out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students and
even some elementary school students are required to take a foreign language as a part of their curriculum.
In addition to old standbys like Spanish, German and French, more and more students are opting (选择)for
Eastern European and Asian languages. Of course, not all students keep up their foreign language abilities.
As the old saying goes, "If you don"t use it, you lose it," But still, a growing number of Americans are coming
to appreciate the benefits of bein multilingual.
B. All Americans speak English very well.
C. Most Americans can only speak one language.
D. In America most students only study one language.
B. Because English, their mother tongue, is a language widely spoken around the world.
C. Because they don"t like foreign languages at all.
D. Because they have poor abilities to learn foreign languages.
B. Trilingual.
C. Language skill.
D. Speaking many languages.
B. Most Americans are studying foreign languages.
C. Most students in America are studying foreign languages.
D. Many elementary, high school and college students are required to learn five languages.
fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.
But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It"s just plain talking, and you talk all the time.
Public speaking is not a "gift" like musical talent or being able to draw. Anybody who can talk can speak in
public. Here are some tips:
Keep it simple. Your audience is going to learn one or two from your main ideas by heart. If you can"t
express, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you don"t have a clear idea of what you want
to say, then your audience will have no interest in your speech. Get organized. No matter how long or short
your speech is, you"d better get your materials in order: how you"re going to start, what major points you
want to make and how you"re going to close. You may often write the last sentence first. When you know
what your aim is, you can choose any ways to get there. A strong close is powerful. The last thing you say
is what your audience will most likely remember.
Keep it short. The standard length of a vaudeville (杂耍) act was 12 minutes. If all those troupers (演员)
want to sing and dance, they may make the audience bored. So make your speech short.
B. Because he considers that when someone speaks in public, he doesn"t bite his finger-nails.
C. Because he considers that people do public speaking all the time.
D. Because he considers that people are not afraid of public speaking.
B. How to make a speech.
C. To talk all the time.
D. How to have a clear idea when you speak.
B. You must say what your audience will most likely remember.
C. You must have a clear idea of what you want to say.
D. You must write the last sentence of your materials first.
B. Anybody who can talk is not frightened of public speaking.
C. The standard length of a speech is 12 minutes.
D. Public speaking is easy. Have a go, and you will make it.
"I"ve always been into bikes, but never thought I"d end up working with them," he says. "This scheme
has changed my life."
Karlos is learning to refurbish (翻新) old bicycles in the workshop of ReCycle Bikes, a local community
(社区) charity in Sheffied, which has a contract with the city council to provide training opportunities for
young people aged 14 to 16, particularly those dropping out of school.
"It"s about engaging youngsters with education and you thtraining by teaching them work and life skills,"
explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. "These young people have so much potential, but often
don"t realize it."
Established in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which, once restored, are
sold for ￡20. Abandoned bikes supplied by the council ensure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently
formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve further the prospects of the young mechanics.
"The student population presents a large and ready market," says Pearce. "So we approached the
university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus. They thought it was a great idea, and
agreed to supplement our council funding. This means we can train youngsters to repair extra 500 bikes
over three years."
Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the career
development of those who have passed through his workshop. "However, in the past we depended on
the evidence of personal accounts from the schools because of lack of human and material resources,"
he says.
That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. "Most kids have
ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a puncture. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the
young and old a sense of freedom and independence, and the impact on their well-being is immense. Add
to that a growing concern for the environment, and it"s no surprise that bike sales are on the increase."
B. It is a local community charity that provides training opportunities for reenagers.
C. It is a contract signed between a local community charity and the city council.
D. It is a training program offered by the city council to those excluded from school.
B. By donations from the public and Sheffield University.
C. By selling bicycles supplied by the city council.
D. By tuition fees from kids aged between 14 and 16.
B. Sheffield University offers many mechanical teachers to ReCycle Bikes
C. heffield University donates a lot of money to ReCycle Bikes
D. teenagers at ReCycle Bikes can study at Sheffield University
B. students disliked telling the truth when asked about their personal ideas
C. ReCycle Bikes didn"t have the ability to track students" career development
D. most of the training organizations did it this way at that moment
