“I don’t speak English”—these are the first words I learned when I came to America.Soon I was able to pronounce the four words clearly,and said them whenever an American tried to talk to me.This answer was very effective(有效的)at ending our conversation and saving me from another uncomfortable situation,or I would have to communicate in a language that I was not familiar with.
Before coming to the States,I thought I knew English pretty well.But the truth is that the grammar and vocabulary-based English that is taught in schools overseas(海外的)is not the English people speak in America.
But fear not!Once you are in America,you can immediately begin to bridge the gap(彌補差距)between the learned English that you already know and the spoken English that is all around you.To do this,first of all,it is important not to fear when you realize that you may not be as prepared for daily communication as you thought.For me,as soon as I stopped worrying about my accent and started speaking,I made rapid progress.Often the people didn’t notice my mistakes because they were so glad to finally be able to communicate with me.
Another good idea is to listen carefully and pay attention to the way in which ideas are expressed.For example,if you are working hard and you want to stop working and rest for a little while,you can either say “I would like to stop working and rest for a while” or “I want to take a quick break from work.” The first sentence,I quickly learned,sounds dry and too formal for any kind of communication,while the second is an idiom(成語)that is widely used in American English conversation.
Finally,use what you already know—the vocabulary,the grammar and the spelling.Try to use these into the spoken language for more impressive and accurate(精確)speaking results.

Boredom and Creativity
Most of us think of being bored at work as a negative experience, but a new study suggests it can have positive results including an increase in creativity because it gives us time to daydream.
That is the finding of Dr. Sandi Mann from the University of Central Lancashire. Dr. Mann conducted two studies. In the first experiment, 40 people were asked to carry out a boring task. They were told to copy numbers out of a telephone directory for 15 minutes. After that they were asked to complete another task. A pair of cups were given to each of them. Everyone tried to come up with different uses of the cups, and was given a chance to display their creativity. Meanwhile, another group of 40 people were just asked to come up with uses for the cups without doing any boring tasks before. It turned out that the 40 people who had first copied out the telephone numbers were more creative than the control group(對照組).
To see if daydreaming was a factor in this effect, a second boring task was introduced that allowed even more daydreaming than the boring writing task. This second study saw 30 people copying out the numbers as before, but also included a second group of 30 reading rather than writing them.
Again the researchers found that the people in the control group were least creative, but the people who had just read the names were more creative than those who had to write them out. This suggests that more passive boring activities, like reading or perhaps attending meetings, can lead to more creativity. Compared with reading, writing reduced the scope(范圍) for daydreaming. As a result, it reduces the effects of boredom on creativity.
Dr. Mann says: “Boredom at work has always been seen as something to be avoided, but perhaps we should accept it in order to promote our creativity. What we want to do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people who are bored at work become more creative in other areas of their work -- or do they go home and write novels?”
67. Who proved to be the most creative in the two studies?
A. The people who attended meetings.
B. The people who did the reading task.
C. The people who invented uses for cups.
D. The people who copied telephone numbers.
68. The studies conducted by Dr. Mann indicate that creativity results from _______.
A. creative tasks
B. controlled activities
C. the range of daydreaming
D. reading and writing ability
69. What is Dr. Mann’s attitude towards boredom at work?
A. Positive.
B. Skeptical.
C. Subjective.
D. Disapproving.
70. What will Dr. Mann probably continue to research in their study?
A. The real causes of creativity.
B. The actual use of boredom.
C. The practical reasons of boredom.
D. The writing ability improved by boredom.

About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings.
Instead, they receive their elementary(初等)and high school education by working at home on computers. The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyber schools.” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for students to attend a cyber school comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyber schools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyber schools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgment of cyber schools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cyber school called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.
Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.
Students at cyber schools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.
( ) 1. What do we know from the text about students of a cyber school?
A. They have to take long bus rides to school.
B. They study at home rather than in classrooms.
C. They receive money from traditional public schools.
D. They do well in traditional school programs.
