In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. Although some people do not agree to some parts of the program, parents praise it highly. Tests have shown that children have learned much from watching “Sesame Street”. The children who watch it five times a week learn more than those who watch it less. In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly. The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested, such as the educational theories of its producers, the support from both the government and businessmen, and the full use of various kinds of television skills. Perhaps another important reason is that mothers watch “Sesame Street” together with their children. This is partly because famous film stars often appear on “Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more. 36. The “Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world” because it is ___.

The bee, like the ant, is a social insect. Bees live in groups in a hive, and every bee does certain work that helps the other members of the group. In a beehive there are three kinds of bees: the queen bee, the drones, and the workers. The worker bees go from flower to flower collecting nectar, or juice, which is composed mostly of sugar mixed with water. Bees draw this nectar into the honey sacks of their bodies, and enzymes in their bodies turn the nectar into honey. This newly made honey flows slowly from the underside ol the bees and is stored in cells in the hive to be used as food during the winter months. Some people are in the honey business and keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers remove honey from the hives and pack it in bottles or jars. Honey usually appears as a clear golden-colored liquid, but this depends on the kind of flower from which the bees have taken the nectar. 36. Bees are called social insects because they ___.

Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. There are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very well 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. 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 2.ễTTAHN-A 17languages, 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 the tirst point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; die teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects ot English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place. J6. What does the writer actually say about pronouncing foreign languages? A. Only a few people are really proficient. B. No one is really an expert in the skill. C. There aren”t many people who are even fairly good. D. There are a lot of people who are moderately proficient. 37. The writer argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is ___. A. an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctly B. a fundamental consequence of not speaking well C. a consequence of not grasping the problem correctly D. not an obvious cause of speaking poorly 38. The underlined word “one” in the passage refers to , A. skill B. careful training C. special kind D. itself 39. The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, he suggests, is by ___. A. picking it up naturally as a child B. learning from a native speaker C. not concentrating much on pronunciation D. taking on systematic work 40. The underlined word “aspects” in the passage probably means___. A. pronunciations B. parts C. words D. sentences II.
