One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary (必要的) to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.
1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I…"
2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"
3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…"
You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing "is very important in understanding English, especially (尤其)spoken English.This passage tells us mainly about _________.
| A．the importance of "guessing " in learning a foreign language |
| B．how to guess what one is going to talk about |
| C．some examples of right guessing |
| D．how important it is to guess all the time |
From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is _________.
| A．"… so I didn't have a good time." | B．"…so I went to bed very late." |
| C．"…. So I felt unhappy." | D．"… so I got up very early." |
Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.
| A．"I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself." |
| B．"I think you'd better have something to drink." |
| C．"I think you'd better get some help from your friends." |
| D．"I think you'd better be more careful." |

How much pocket money do you get from your parents every month? Maybe 200 yuan? But for Li Beibei, 30 yuan each month is enough. The only thing she buys is lunch—1.5 yuan each day. “Meat is too expensive for me,” said Li.
Li, 14, is a Junior 1 student at Beijing’s Xingzhi Experimental School. Her parents are migrant workers(外来务工人员). They came to Beijing from a village in Luohe, He’nan two years ago. Her father now works as a cleaner and gets 500 yuan every month. Her mother has no job.

What are the limits(极限) of human body? The BBC’s Focus magazine has some answers.
How cold can you stand?
Normal body temperature is around 37℃. At 35℃ you’re unable to write your name. Even walking is very difficult. At 33℃ you may find it difficult to think, understand and form(形成) opinions properly. By the time you have cooled to 20℃, your heart would have stopped beating.
Limit: 0℃. Ice would form in your tissues(纤维组织), killing all the cells.
How spicy can you eat?
There is capsaicin(辣椒素) in many foods. The more capsaicin, the hotter the dishes are. If you’re healthy enough, you can survive(存活) eating a teaspoon of pure capsaicin. But you would find it impossible to eat anything else for a few hours.
Limit: 5g capsaicin.
How fast can you run?
The fastest man in the world is Asafa Powell. The runner finished the 100m in 9. 74 seconds in 2007. This gives an average(平均的) speed of 36. 96km/h.
Top runners are at their fastest around 80 metres, so a runner’s greatest speed may reach 43.06km/h.
Limit: 43.06km/h.
How loud is too loud?
The loudest sound you can hear is 168 dB(分贝). Sound louder than that may do harm to your ears. The loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of Krakatoa(卡拉卡托火山爆发) in 1883. It was 180 dB, 160km away.
