162．How to Learn a Foreign LanguageSpend the time!
   By far the most important factor is how much time you spend in learning the language.The more time you spend with the language，the faster you will learn.（1）
Focus on words and phrases!
   To build up your vocabulary，you'll need lots.（2） Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading.Read online，using online dictionaries，and make your own vocabulary lists for review.Gradually you will be able to use them.
（3）
   Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player.Read what you are listening to.Listen to and read things that you like，things that you can mostly understand.If you keep listening and reading，you will get used to the language.
Take responsibility for your own learning!
   If you do want to learn the language，take control.Choose contents of interest that you want to listen to and read.Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand in your listening and reading.（4） Discover the language by yourself.Talk when you feel like it.Write when you feel like it.
Relax and enjoy yourself!
   Do not worry about what you cannot remember，or cannot yet understand，or cannot yet say.It does not matter.（5）The language will gradually become clearer in your brain，but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control.Just make sure you spend enough time with the language.

A.Listen and read every day!
B.You are learning and improving.
C.That is the greatest guarantee of success.
D.Do not wait for someone else to show you the language.
E.Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases.
F.Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere.
G.This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.

165．You signed up for soccer，and played every game of the season.Sure，you're not the best player on the team，but most days you gave it your all.Do you deserve a trophy（獎杯）？
   If the decision is up to Carol Dweck，the answer would likely be no.She's a psychology professor at Stanford University，California.She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy.But those who receive an award should have to work for it.She suggests trophies go to the most improved player，or the one who contributed most to the team spirit，as well as to those who play the best.
   "The trophy has to stand for something，" Dweck told TFK."If we give a trophy to everyone，then the award has no value." Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons，such as improving in a sport，teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.
   Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport，regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.
   "I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports，" says Kenneth Barish，a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College，in New York City."A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts."
   Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy，we are teaching kids the wrong lesson.We are sending the message that winning is everything."Winning is only part of the equation（等式），" Barish told TFK."Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise."
   "There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older，" says Barish."They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl." For now，he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners.That means trophies for everyone.

（1）According to Carol Dweck，which player should receive a trophy？
A．Tony，the most attractive player of the soccer team.
B．David，a soccer player who is both clever and funny.
C．Peter，who is ready to help his partners to score goals.
D．Jim，a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.
（2）Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with？
A．There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.
B．Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.
C．Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.
D．It is necessary to encourage kids' participation in sports.
（3）The underlined phrase "single out" in Paragraph 6 probably means " ".
A．honour
B．choose
C．value
D．stress
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．Who deserves a trophy？
B．All kids deserve a trophy
C．What does a trophy deserve？
D．Best player deserves a trophy

    We took a plane to Albuquerque，a big city in the state of New Mexico．We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon．Uncle Paul，my dad's friend，picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos．
    His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle．My dad and I spent the night in the guest room of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby．Very early in the morning，Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast．"The day starts at dawn on my farm，"he said．After breakfast，I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens，while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze（吃草）．I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses．They looked really cool．
    In the afternoon，I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride，and he said yes，as long as my dad went with me．I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway．So，my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats，got on our horses，and headed slowly towards the mountains．"Don't be late for supper，"Uncle Paul cried，"and keep to the track so that you don't get lost！""OK！"my dad cried back．After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight．It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks，the deep green pine trees，and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene．It looked like a beautiful woven（編織的）blanket spread out upon the ground just for us．
