9、cond language) students, but it is one of the most important rules. If you want to pass examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, then you should try to learn English without studying the grammar. Studying grammar will only slow you down and confuse you. You

10、 will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native. Remember that only a small fraction（部分）of English speakers know more than 20% of all the grammar rules. Many ESL students know more grammar than native speakers. I can confidently say this with

11、experience. I am a native English speaker, majored in English Literature, and have been teaching English for more than 10 years. However, many of my students know more details about English grammar than I do. When they sometimes ask me about grammar, I can easily look up the definition（定義）and apply

12、it, but I cant tell them the answer off the top of my head. I often ask my native English friends some grammar questions, and only a few of them know the correct answer. However, they are fluent in English and can read, speak, listen, and communicate effectively. Do you want to be able to recite the

13、 definition of a causative verb（使役動(dòng)詞）, or do you want to be able to speak English fluently?21. According to the author, what opinion do most ESL students hold?A. Grammar matters a lot only in speaking.B. Grammar doesnt matter much in speaking.C. Grammar is not important in English learning.D. Gramma

14、r is very important in English learning.22. What is the author?A. An ESL student. B. A native English teacher.C. A native English student. D. A teacher teaching English natives.23. The underlined part “off the top of my head” means _.A. without consideration B. on purposeC. after thinking D. with di

15、fficulty24. Which of the following titles best suits the text?A. Grammar Counts! B. Fluency or Grammar?C. Exams or No Exams? D. No More Grammar!BThere is much more to growing up in a bilingual（雙語(yǔ)的）family than learning two languages, and the cultural influences from both cultures are just as importan

16、t. In July we had a curious incident that shows the slight differences between cultures. My son has already changed a few of his baby teeth and since we lived in Italy we decided to go with the Italian version（版本）of the Tooth Fairy, which is not a fairy（仙女）but a little mouse. So last year when he lo

17、st his first tooth we had a visit from the little mouse who took the tooth away and left a rather good amount of coins - when he lost the second tooth a few days later, however, the amount was significantly less! That in itself caused quite a few questions, but the real questions started when in Jul

18、y during a visit to the UK another tooth left my sons mouth in Tooth Fairy land! The grandparents made a real problem out of it - it was their first grandsons tooth they got to say Goodbye to, so it was Tooth Fairy and rather generous, too! The Qs & AsSon: Mum, how is the little mouse going to s

19、mell my tooth all this way? (as the story goes the little mouse smells a milk tooth and comes to collect it)Me: No dear, it wont! We are in England now so the Tooth Fairy will come.Son: Oh, is she stronger than the little mouse? (I knew where this was going)Me: She is very strong, and she is magic.S

20、on: What does the Tooth Fairy bring? (straight to the point)Me: I am not sure. Well find out maybe a nice message. Son: So is the little mouse coming too?Me: No, it wont make it all the way from Italy.Son: But why dont they have little mice in England? Me: Because here the Tooth Fairy collects all b

21、aby teeth and shes too fast, so the little mouse would always get there late.Son: Oh!?25. Italian kids are supposed to believe _ will come and collect the milk teeth.A. a little mouse B.

Its shallow draft allows passengers into dist

25、ant corners of the Sepik Region and areas not otherwise accessible to larger boats. It was refurbished（裝修）in early 2006 to ensure that the Sepik Spirit meets the expectations of the modern travellers. The refurbishment includes new interior and improved noise resistance. The Sepik Spirit holds 18 pa

26、ssengers in 9 twin bedrooms each with private bathroom. Onboard facilities include a dining room, living room, bar, video and covered upper observatory deck（甲板）. The entire boat is air-conditioned. Because the Sepik Spirit is designed to operate in this unique environment, she is the ideal size for

27、exploration. This, combined with small passenger numbers, allows the travellers an excellent experience to little visited areas. Day trips from the Sepik Spirit are done in an 18-seater riverboat, also designed for the operation. Their open-air design gives the travellers a sense of place, a feeling

28、 for the river and its people. Areas that the Sepik Spirit and her guests may visit are the Karawari River, Blackwater Lakes, Chambri Lakes, the Middle Sepik and the Upper Sepik. The river banks where the boat operates are dotted with many large traditional villages each with its own unique “Haus Ta

29、mbaran” or spirit house decorated with ancestral figures. Mix with the friendly people and experience a culture that meets very few outsiders. Please E-Mail if you want to know more about us. Please note that private touring and transfers are not available on the Sepik Spirit. Please note that Sepik Spirit departure and termination（終結(jié)，終點(diǎn)）points sometimes change
