When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to learn the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
"She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples."
"I have seen the film already." "I have already seen the film."
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.According to the passage we know that _____ when we are learning English.
| A．we shouldn't put every word into our own language |
| B．we should look up every word in the dictionary |
| C．we need to put every word into our own language |
| D．we must read word by word |

Jane Austen (1775-1817), an English novelist, started writing young and completed six novels in her life．Today Austen’s books are more popular than ever．In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers．
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today．“The stories are timeless,” Jenkyns said．
Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austen’s most famous work．It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr．Darcy．At first, these two dislike each other．Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively．She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family．Mr．Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background．So, he is proud as well．At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family．He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands．He thinks they are vulgar．Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple(夫妻) but their families don’t want them to．
In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows．Opposites can attract（吸引） each other．Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other．

A
As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost．These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared (使惊恐) me so much．There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal．Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind．A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day．My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast．I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school．Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home．That was no problem．After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places．On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others．Being popular was so important t o me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes (过程) about growing up is being able to realize and overcome (克服) our fears．Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.________would scare the writer at night.
| A．Streetlight and car lights |
| B．Wild animals and enemies |
| C．Moving curtains and wind |
| D．Strange sights and sounds |

| B．take a bus by herself |
| C．follow others closely |

| D．She was not at all liked by others. |
