It can be really hard to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language.
At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this did not work well. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter,
highlight the new words and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context. Additionally, a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.
If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child, I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner. However, if you feel a bit more confident reading in English, I would personally recommend the series of ‘Harry Potter’ books by J. K. Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl children's books.
24. What makes it hard for the author to learn German? A. The author had a poor memory. B. The author had no interest in it.
C. The author had no one to ask for help. D. The author couldn't read books fluently.
25. What did the author think of reading children's books in the target language at first? A. Interesting. B. Stupid. C. Helpful. D. Boring. 26. What does the author try to express mainly in Paragraph 3? A. How to deal with new words while reading. B. Why it is helpful to read children's book at first. C. How to choose a proper book to match your level. D. How to form the habit of reading in the target language. 27. Why does the author write this text? A. To give tips on how to learn a new language. B. To persuade the readers to learn a new language. C. To stress the importance of reading in language learning. D. To share the author's stories of learning a new language.

I love winter birds and I love photographing them in snow. That being said, I admit that I'm a fair-weather birder(猎鸟者).Worse, I'm a lazy, fair-weather birder. I don't like weather extremes, so when it's very hot or really cold, it is hard to get me to leave the comfort of home. In summer, I only photograph hummingbirds(蜂鸟)in my yard, and in winter, I try to only go out on relatively
mild days. Most of my bird photography is done within an hour's drive of my hometown of Elmira, Ont. So it's all about finding a balance that works.
The winter of 2014 was a great year for snowy owls(雪枭)here in Woolwich Township. One day in early March, I was on my way home from work when I noticed a beautiful snowy owl sitting in a tree right at the crossing. I pulled over to admire him, and then kept heading home unwillingly.
Two hundred meters or so down the road, there were two more snowy owls in a field by a fence, and in the next field over, another on top of a fence post. I couldn't find words to express my feeling at that moment. Thus I rushed home, grabbed my camera and went right back out to get some pictures. It was one of the most magical local birding moments I've ever experienced.
When I'm looking for excellent opportunities to photograph snowy owls and other birds without spending dozens of hours searching for them-and if I'm lucky, finding one that's semi-cooperative-I head to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy (CRC) or the Mountsberg Raptor Centre. I've attended so many photo sessions at each of these fantastic facilities that I've lost count.
28. What factor has the most effect on whether the author goes out to photograph birds or not? A. Road conditions. B. Personal emotion. C. Weather conditions. D. Time arrangement. 29. How did the author feel when he saw the snowy owls on the way home? A. Sad. B. Excited. C. Untouched. D. Proud. 30. What does the underlined word \ A. Opportunities. B. Moments. C. Pictures. D. Birds. 31. What can we infer about the author? A. The author only photographs snowy owls. B. The author can take excellent photos easily. C. The author makes a living by photographing birds. D. The author values each chance to photograph birds.
D
A new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so
they’re an attractive target for advertisers.
John Taylor, the author of the report, says：“Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.”
Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片)．“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programme，” Taylor says.
There’re concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specialising in media analysis.“The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when they see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realise the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service，”she says.
There’re also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky(耍花招的) packaging.”
Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for children’s toys between 7 a．m. and 10 p．m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer self-regulation(自动调节)．
Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.
32．What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2? A．Ways in which advertisers reach children. B．The time children spend watching television. C．Examples of successful advertising to children. D．The serious problems of advertising to children.
33．Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children? A．TV ads limit children’s imagination. B．TV ads affect children’s brain development. C．Children lack the good sense to make decisions.
