     Witness the sweeping cinematic scenery of the movie Harry Potter by booking a seat on the Jacobite Steam Train.Stop for lunch in Mallaig and then make the return journey to Fort William.Please be sure to book the steam train in advance，as it is very popular.By the way，it runs seasonally.
     Day 4 Overview lakes and glens （峽谷）

• 2．English is the most widely spoken language in the world.And of the roughly 1.5 billion speakers globally，the vast majority speak it as a second language.So where are the world's best non-native English speakers？According to a new report by EF Education First，an international education company，Northern Europeans are the most fluent.Middle Easterners are the least proficient （精通的）.
     The index （指數(shù)） is based on the results of a free online test taken by 2.3 million volunteers in 100 countries.Nearly six in ten of this year's test-takers were female.Women have always performed better than men，but this year men closed the gap somewhat.
     In Europe，the powerhouse economies perform surprisingly badly：only Germany makes the top place of "very high proficiency" countries.France is next，while Spain and Italy are continuously falling behind.A study by a Spanish research institute reported the bad news：60% of adults say they speak no English at all.The fact that Spanish is a global language in its own right （the language declares 400 million native speakers） is probably the cause.If you speak Danish，you need another language to take part in global culture；speaking French or Spanish （or Arabic） means hundreds of millions of people to talk to without English.
     Asia is the region of greatest diversity （多樣性）.Only Singapore makes the top level，but the Philippines，Malaysia，and India are not far behind.China is further back but still in the second level，a few places ahead of Japan.Struggling in the bottom places are a group of South-East and Central Asian countries like Cambodia and Kyrgyzstan.This relates with another factor：the company repeatedly finds that English skills are highly related with connections and openness to the rest of the world.
  
  （1）Which is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Where are the world's most non-native English speakers？
  B．Where are the fewest non-native English speakers？
  C．Where are the world's best non-native English speakers？
  D．Where are the last non-native English speakers？
  （2）What can we know about the online test？

  
  A．Half of this year's test-takers were female.
  B．Nearly 1.38 million of this year's test-takers were female.
  C．Women and men equally performed this year.
  D．The gap between female and male is getting close year by year.
  （3）Why 60% of Spanish adults say they speak no English at all？

  
  A．Spanish is a global language itself.
  B．400 million Spanish speak English.
  C．Spanish is easy to understand.
  D．English fails to attract them.
  （4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Asia is the region with the best non-native English speakers.
  B．China is the second place with the best non-native English speakers.
  C．Countries in South-East and Central Asian are less open in Asia.
  D．Countries in South-West and Central Asian line in the bottom places.

• 3．One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read．
     In the library，I found my way into the "Children's Room．"I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a beagle．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forgot my beagle．
     There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer．
     Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together．
     My mother's call returned me to the real world．I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book．Everyone knew I could not read But I had read it．Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them．
     I never told my mother about my "miraculous"（奇跡般地）experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year．And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction．The power of the words has held．
