Sassoon the “Chanel of hair”.

“Like Columbus”

British hairdresser and friend Nicky Clarke said he was a hugely important hairdresser. Before

Sassoon’s arrival on the scene, he said, “people were putting their hair back. What he brought was a different kind of hairdressing. It was all about modern time — in some ways he explained the 60s. He

helped to put Britain on the map.” Clarke said Sassoon was a “modest person” who “loved h and would be greatly missed.

Learning a foreign language can be a difficult task for most people. The degree of difficulty,

however, differs from one person to another. Like studying any other subjects, we have to make an

effort and put in the time. Besides, an individual’s learning ability can be determined by the following factors:

My husband says I am a quick learner, but I easily forget new information, especially dates and

figures. My husband spends more time learning a new subject but seldom forgets what he has learned.

We’re exactly the opposite, and we represent the two basic kinds of learners. Some people can learn

new information fast, while others have to work a little bit harder at it. Others remember new

knowledge longer, like my husband, while others easily forget what they have just learned. How fast

and well you learn new things are determined by your genes (基因) and your environment. My mother

is a fast learner, while my husband has slow learning parents. The way we learn also differs. I like to

write down what I’ve just learned. I also find that drawing diagrams(图表) works better for me.

Compared with my husband, I hate memorizing data and definition (定义), for example, the definition

of a family. I’d rather write down something like this: family = husband wife children. I remember

things better when I can visually picture it in my mind, a mental picture or diagram. Determine your

own learning ability by observing the way you learn new information, how fast you can learn it, and

how long you can keep this new data. By doing so, you can choose the method best suited to your

learning style.

In my opinion, this is the most important factor in learning a foreign language: your drive to learn.

Different people are driven by different

s a will, there’s a way.”　

As the saying goes, “Where there’

motivations (动机). I want to learn a new language because I find it challenging. Others may need to

learn a foreign language because of having a new job or working in foreign countries. The point is to

determine whether you truly need or just want to learn a foreign language. There’s a difference between

the two. The first is a requirement which needs to be done immediately, while the latter can be delayed

and will not influence your performance in your job directly.

53. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. A person’s ability determines how he learns a foreign language.

B. Effort and time play a key role in learning a foreign language.

C. It’s not difficult for most people to learn a foreign language.

D. Learning a foreign language isn’t the same for everyone.

54. Compared with the author, her husband _____.

A. easily forgets new information

B. likes memorizing data and figures

C. has quick learning parents

D. likes to draw diagrams

55. Which of the following affects people’s foreign language learning most?

A. The degree of difficulty of the foreign language.

B. The determination to overcome the difficulty.

C. The motivation to learn a foreign language.

D. The foreign language learning ability.

56. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To share her experience in learning a foreign language.

B. To analyze why people cannot learn a foreign language well.

C. To tell us how to find the method of learning a foreign language.

D. To introduce some factors which affect our language learning ability.

We can have conflicts(冲突) with some people that are important to us like friends, relatives,

workmates, etc. But the conflict doesn’t necessarily mean that the relationship will be destroyed. In fact,

sometimes conflicts help people to let out their silent feelings, allowing them to free their suppressed

emotions (被抑制的情绪). However, when in conflict, we usually get angry and say or do things which

are not linked to the problem at hand. Therefore, it is important that we should try to avoid conflicts

through good communication.

In a heated argument, we usually say things that aren’t related to the real problem, and even use

bad language to make sure we gain an advantage over the other people. Then the whole situation

worsens. So we should segregate (隔离) the root cause of the problem and build our discussion around

it. This ensures that there’re no rude remarks and the situation moves in a positive direction.

It’s easy for us to think we’re right and if something doesn’t work out, it surely must be someone

else’s fault. However, if you want to solve a conflict, first of all, you should show respect for others and

allow the other party to express themselves. Using remarks like “I understand your concern on this “I know you’re right at your end” would make the other person feel more appreciated.

Sometimes some people get too excited and may behave in the wrong way or say something

others may not appreciate. This can worsen the situation. Actually, they should control their emotions

and keep calm. This has to be learned through self-control and observing behavior of other people.

The tips mentioned above are useful in most situations. However, we don’t rule out the possibility

that there are some people who always want to create some sort of trouble for others. You can tell them

from others, and making an effort to end a conflict with them may just not be a wise idea. The best way

to deal with these people is to forget them. A famous saying can help you and it is, “You s fight with a pig; you both get dirty and only the pig likes it.”

57. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Conflicts may help us deal with our emotions.

B. Conflicts can improve our relationships with others greatly.

C. Good communication may fail to prevent conflicts successfully.

D. The closer two friends are, the more conflicts are between them.

58. When making discussions to solve conflicts, we should __________.

A. know others’ personal quality

B. know others’ ability of expression

C. compare our strengths and weaknesses

D. discuss around the root cause of the problem

59. In order to solve a conflict, what should we do first?

A. Respect other people and listen to their opinions.

B. Control our emotions and express our opinions carefully.

C. Express we are sorry and guilty.

D. Show our advantages and excuses.

60. In the author’s opinion, how should people deal with those who always want to create trouble?

A. Fight with them.

B. Ignore them.

C. Have a talk with them.

D. Give them something they like.
