Pet adoption is the perfect way to add a new family member. But if a pet is too young to be adopted, it must be fostered (寄养) first. That’s how a puppy named Maggie that was rescued by the North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), ended up being fostered by a sweet six-year-old boy.
The animal rescue organization in Port Washington needed to find a foster home for Maggie because she needed to be trained with basic obedience (顺从) skills and to become comfortable with a home environment. NSALA put out a call for a foster family.
Roman Duncan’s family was the lucky one chosen for the job. The boy fell in love with the puppy and was able to be part of her growth during those formative months. The family always made it clear to Roman that Maggie would eventually be adopted and move to a different home.
When it came time for Maggie to be adopted, Roman couldn’t hold his tears. He decided to write letters to the puppy’s future family. He wrote letters about his furry friend, saying “Maggie is so cute and loves to play fetch. She is the best dog ever,” and slipped the notes and some photos into Maggie’s paperwork.
The rescue team were surprised and then incredibly touched by the notes they found when opening Maggie’s file. NSALA made sure that Roman’s notes reached her adopted family. The boy’s gesture is exactly what pet fostering is about.
A dog or cat that has gone through terrible sufferings such as being abusing needs to learn what it means to live in a home. Fostering helps reduce the animal’s stress and makes it trust people again. It is also an opportunity for people who love pets but can’t have them full-time due to some restrictions. Pet fosters can get to enjoy helping a pet in need. If you are interested in pet fostering, contact a local shelter or animal rescue near you.
4. What happened to Maggie at first
A. She was released into the wild. B. She was settled in a new home.
C. She was saved by a rescue team. D. She was fostered by Roman’s family.
5. Why did Roman write notes about Maggie
A. To express his mixed feelings. B. To preserve Maggie’s paperwork.
C. To choose Maggie’s future family. D. To help Maggie adapt to new home.
6 What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph
A. The benefits of pet fostering. B. The access to fostering a pet.
C. A homeless animal’s barriers. D. The restrictions to adopting a pet.
7. What is the best title of the text
A. Maggie Lives Happily in a Comforting Foster Home
B. A Boy Writes Sweet Letter to Puppy’s Forever Family
C. Pet fostering Plays Great Roles in Rescuing Lost Animals
D. Roman Duncan’s Family Adopts a new Family Member
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B

Nobody knows the value of a good doll better than Jandrisevits. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,” she said. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those dolls. But for the kids missing a limb or who had lost their hair, there were none they could relate to.
So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was stuck in self-doubt and self-distrust, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period. “It’s hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are,’ and to build self-esteem (自尊) that way, but never offer them anything that looks like them,”she says.
Jandrisevits went about changing that. She crafted a doll by hand — using fabric, stitching, and markers — that resembled (像) her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the happy child and doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was missing a leg.
Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with scars, birthmarks, facial deformities(畸形), — in short, a doll that looked like them. She quit her job and started a nonprofit, A Doll Like Me.
Working out of her home in Milwaukee, from photos sent by parents or caregivers, it takes Jandrisevits roughly three days to craft only one doll. A GoFundMe page helps her cover costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn’t charged for a doll since she began her nonprofit.
In all, she’s made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandriscvits will never give up. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, “Every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”
8. What made Jandrisevits realize the value of dolls
A. The influence of dolls on her. B. Her working experience.
C. The changing medical situations. D. Her relation to the unlucky kids.
9 What does the underlined word ―that‖ refer to in paragraph 3
A. Children’s concern about their looks.
B. The problems faced by the child of a friend.
C. The challenging period the youth are going through.
D. The fact that words alone fail to help build self-esteem.
10. What can be inferred about Jandrisevits’ making dolls
A. It targets children with mental problems. B. It is time-consuming but meaningful.
C. It is thought poorly of by people. D. It brings in a good fortune.
11. Which of the following best describes Jandrisevits
A. Creative and caring. B. Ambitious and devoted.
C. Considerate and sensitive. D. Knowledgeable and generous.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是Jandrisevits使用洋娃娃来帮助年轻客户适应不断变化的医疗状况。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Nobody knows the value of a good doll better than Jandrisevits. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,” she said. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations.(没有人比詹德里塞维斯更了解一个好娃娃的价值了。“娃娃有一种我们不完全理解的力量，”她说。这是她在做社会工作者时得出的结论，当时她使用洋娃娃来帮助年轻客户适应不断变化的医疗状况。)”可知，让Jandrisevits意识到洋娃娃的价值的是她的工作经验。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“It’s hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are,’ and to build self-esteem（自尊） that way(对一个孩子说，‘你这样就很完美’，并通过这种方式建立自尊是很难的)”及第三段的“Jandrisevits went about changing that.(Jandrisevits着手改变这种状况)”可知，光靠语言无法建立自尊，所以Jandrisevits通过制作娃娃来改变这种状况。由此推知，that指代的是“光靠言语是无法帮助建立信心的这个事实”。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“it takes Jandrisevits roughly three days to craft only one doll(Jandrisevits大约花了三天时间制作一个娃娃)”和第一段的“It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations.(这是她在做社会工作者时得出的结论，当时她使用洋娃娃来帮助年轻客户适应不断变化的医疗状况。)”可知，Jandrisevits制作娃娃很耗时间，但很有意义。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“She crafted a doll by hand—using fabric, stitching, and markers—that resembled her friend’s child and sent it off.(她用布料、针线和马克笔手工制作了一个娃娃，和她朋友的孩子很像，然后送了出去。)”可知，她是有创造力的，即creative；根据第二段的“So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was stuck in self-doubt and self-distrust, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period.(因此，七年前，当一位朋友透露她的孩子陷入了自我怀疑和自我不信任的困境时，现年49岁的Jandrisevits知道什么可以帮助孩子度过这一充满挑战的时期。)”可知，她很关心那些生病的人，可用caring形容她。故选A。
D
Of the 7 billion people on Earth, roughly 6 billion own a cellphone, which is pretty shocking, given that only 4.5 billion have access to a working toilet.
So how are cellphones changing us On average, people spend 4.7 hours a day looking at their bined with the length of time spent in front of computers, this has led to an increase in the nearsightedness. In North America, in the 1970s about 1/4 of the population had nearsightedness, where today nearly half do; and in some parts of Asia, 80 — 90% of the population is now nearsighted.
And it can be hard to put your phone down, take for example the game Candy Crush. As you play the game, you achieve small goals causing your brain to be rewarded with little bursts of dopamine, and eventually, you are rewarded with new contents of the game. This novelty also gives little bursts of dopamine, and they together create what is known as a “compulsion loop”, which just happens to be the same loop responsible for the behavior associated with nicotine or cocaine. According to a recent study, 93% of young people aged 18—29 report using their smartphones to avoid boredom. Without their phones, they may suffer “nomophobia”—the fear or anxiety of being without their phones.
Your smartphone can also disrupt your sleep! The screen produces a blue light which has been shown to change our biological clock, reducing the time spent in deep sleep, which is linked to the development of diabetes, cancer, and obesity.
Of course, smartphones also completely change our ability to access information, most notably in poor and minority populations. 7% of Americans are entirely dependent on smartphones for their access to the Internet.
So while phones are in no way totally bad, and have been a part of positive change in the world, there’s no denying that they are changing us.
12 Why does the writer mention the near-sighted population in paragraph 2
A. To call on people to stop using cellphones.
B. To demonstrate the bad influence cellphones have on our eyes.
C. To show the eyesight differences between westerners and Asians.
D. To warn us that shortsightedness caused by computers is becoming worse.
13. How does a man with “nomophobia” probably feel if his phone isn’t accessible
A. Anxious. B. Energetic. C. Addicted. D. Excited.
14. How do cellphones influence our sleep according to the writer
A. They provide too much exciting information that makes us sleepless.
B. They produce a special light that can cause less deep sleeping time.
C. They can lead to serious diseases related to sleeping problems.
D. They have clocks that ring too loud for us to fall asleep.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How Do Cellphones Change Us B. Put Down Your Cellphone Now!
C. Can We Live Without Cellphones D. Don’t Let Cellphones Ruin Your Eyes!
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手机正在改变我们，并从不同方面对此进行了具体说明。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“So how are cellphones changing us On average, people spend 4.7 hours a day looking at their bined with the length of time spent in front of computers, this has led to an increase in the nearsightedness. In North America, in the 1970s about 1/4 of the population had nearsightedness, where today nearly half do; and in some parts of Asia, 80 — 90% of the population is now nearsighted.(那么手机是如何改变我们的呢？平均而言，人们每天花4.7小时看手机。再加上在电脑前花费的时间，这就导致了近视的增加。在20世纪70年代的北美，大约1/4的人口患有近视，而今天这一比例接近一半；在亚洲的一些地区，80%到90%的人口都患有近视)”可推知，作者在第二段提到近视人群是为了证明手机对我们眼睛的不良影响。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Without their phones, they may suffer “nomophobia”—the fear or anxiety of being without their phones.(没有手机，他们可能会患上“无手机恐惧症”——对没有手机的恐惧或焦虑)”可知，一个患有“无手机恐惧症”的人，如果他的手机无法访问，他会感觉焦虑。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“The screen produces a blue light which has been shown to change our biological clock, reducing the time spent in deep sleep, which is linked to the development of diabetes, cancer, and obesity.(屏幕会发出蓝光，这种蓝光会改变我们的生物钟，减少深度睡眠的时间，而深度睡眠与糖尿病、癌症和肥胖的发生有关)”可知，作者认为手机产生一种特殊的光，可以减少深度睡眠时间，从而影响我们的睡眠。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“So how are cellphones changing us (那么手机是如何改变我们的呢？)”以及最后一段“So while phones are in no way totally bad, and have been a part of positive change in the world, there’s no denying that they are changing us.(所以，虽然手机并不是完全坏的，而且是世界积极变化的一部分，但不可否认的是，它们正在改变我们)”且文章主要介绍了手机正在改变我们，并从不同方面对此进行了具体说明。可知，A选项“手机是如何改变我们的？”最符合文章标题。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
They say that children learn languages the best. ___16___. We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.
Get real. Decide on a simple, achievable goal to start with so that you don’t feel confused. German translator Judith Matz suggests: “Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people — ___17___.”
Play house with the language. The more you invite a foreign language into your daily life, the more your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about. “Use every opportunity to get involved in the new language,” says Russian translator Olga Dmitrochenkova. ___18___, read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend.
___19___. Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...
Make new friends. ___20___ — it will teach you to naturally express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. Find native speakers near you. Or search for foreign penpals or set up a language connection online, where two volunteers help one another practice their own languages.
A. Let technology help you out
B. and look up them in the dictionary
C. Do not worry about making mistakes
D. and then slowly start picking up grammar
E. Communicating in the new language is key
F. But that doesn’t mean that adults should give up
G. Stick every object in your house in this language
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了掌握外语的几个基本原则。
【16题详解】
F选项“但这并不意味着成年人应该放弃”与上文“They say that children learn languages the best.(他们说孩子们学习语言最好)”形成转折关系，引出下文“We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.(我们邀请了TED开放翻译项目中的一些多语者分享他们掌握外语的秘诀。几个基本原则如下)”讲掌握外语的几个基本原则。故选F项。
【17题详解】
由上文German translator Judith Matz的话“Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people(先找50个外语单词，用它们来跟别人交流)”可知，Judith Matz建议先选择所学语言的50个单词在真实场景中使用，然后慢慢学习语法，上下文先后关系，D选项“然后慢慢开始学习语法”切题。故选D项。
【18题详解】
由下文“read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend(读用那门语言写的童话，看有字幕的TED演讲，或者跟你想象中的外国朋友讲述一些一天里发生的事)”可知，该选项与后文两个分句构成平行关系，它们都是在家使用语言的日常场景，G选项“把家里的每一件物品都用这种语言粘起来”也呼应小标题“Play house with the language.(和语言玩过家家)”。故选G项。
【19题详解】
空处是该段段落小标题，由下文“Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...(德米特罗琴科娃有一个很好的主意：“重新设置手机语言就能让你马上学到新单词，”她说。同样，你也可以在浏览器上更改语言。或者在网上找一些更系统的学习资源。荷兰语翻译家埃尔斯·德·凯瑟推荐用“多邻国”像玩游戏一样学习语法，用Anki的智能卡片背单词)”可知，本段主要讲可以运用技术来帮助学习语言，A选项“让技术帮助你”切题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由小标题“Make new friends. (结交新朋友)”可知该段主题是通过交友练习语言，E选项中的“Communicating”是关键，E选项“用新语言交流是关键”切题。故选E项。

【解析】

【详解】1.考查时态。句意：我们都想开心，健康地成长，为了这个目标我们必须做一些事情。分析句子可知，这是对客观事实的陈述，所以应用一般现在时。故将wanted改为want。
2.考查代词。我们都想开心，健康地成长，为了这个目标我们必须做一些事情。根据句意可知，这里指的是“我们”，所以应将you改为we。故将you改为we。
3.考查主谓一致。句意：生活中不仅有阳光也有艰难的岁月。分析句子结构可知，主语为“Life”，所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故将consist改为consists。

5.考查固定搭配。句意：第二，我们必须努力学习，因为知识就是力量。知识就是力量是一句谚语，固定表达为“knowledge is power”，所以应删除the。故删除the。
6. 考查状语从句。如果我们有了这个力量，我们就可以帮助建造我们国家和更好的享受生活。分析句子结构可知，从句部分是主句的条件，此处应用条件状语从句的引导词，根据句意可知，表示“如果”应用if引导条件状语从句。故将Because改为If。
7. 考查情态动词。如果我们有了这个力量，我们就有能力帮助建造我们的国家和更好的享受生活。根据句意可知，如果我们有了这个力量，我们才有能力去做某事，所以应在help在加can。故在help在加can。
8.考查固定搭配。句意：为了好好学习，我们需要多做运动以保持身体健康。“好好学习”应用“study well”，it多余。故删除it。
9.考查形容词。句意：为了好好学习，我们需要多做运动以保持身体健康。“保持健康”应用“keep fit/healthy”，所以应将good改为healthy或fit。故将good改为healthy或fit。
10.考查介词。句意：我们可以在一天的学习后去跑步，打球或者只是简单的散步。根据句意可知，要在一天的学习后做一些运动，所以应用介词after。故将before改为after。

Pet adoption is the perfect way to add a new family member. But if a pet is too young to be adopted, it must be fostered (寄养) first. That’s how a puppy named Maggie that was rescued by the North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), ended up being fostered by a sweet six-year-old boy.
The animal rescue organization in Port Washington needed to find a foster home for Maggie because she needed to be trained with basic obedience (顺从) skills and to become comfortable with a home environment. NSALA put out a call for a foster family.
Roman Duncan’s family was the lucky one chosen for the job. The boy fell in love with the puppy and was able to be part of her growth during those formative months. The family always made it clear to Roman that Maggie would eventually be adopted and move to a different home.
When it came time for Maggie to be adopted, Roman couldn’t hold his tears. He decided to write letters to the puppy’s future family. He wrote letters about his furry friend, saying “Maggie is so cute and loves to play fetch. She is the best dog ever,” and slipped the notes and some photos into Maggie’s paperwork.
The rescue team were surprised and then incredibly touched by the notes they found when opening Maggie’s file. NSALA made sure that Roman’s notes reached her adopted family. The boy’s gesture is exactly what pet fostering is about.
A dog or cat that has gone through terrible sufferings such as being abusing needs to learn what it means to live in a home. Fostering helps reduce the animal’s stress and makes it trust people again. It is also an opportunity for people who love pets but can’t have them full-time due to some restrictions. Pet fosters can get to enjoy helping a pet in need. If you are interested in pet fostering, contact a local shelter or animal rescue near you.
4. What happened to Maggie at first
A. She was released into the wild. B. She was settled in a new home.
C. She was saved by a rescue team. D. She was fostered by Roman’s family.
5. Why did Roman write notes about Maggie
A. To express his mixed feelings. B. To preserve Maggie’s paperwork.
C. To choose Maggie’s future family. D. To help Maggie adapt to new home.
6. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph
A. The benefits of pet fostering. B. The access to fostering a pet.
C. A homeless animal’s barriers. D. The restrictions to adopting a pet.
7. What is the best title of the text
A. Maggie Lives Happily in a Comforting Foster Home
B A Boy Writes Sweet Letter to Puppy’s Forever Family
C. Pet fostering Plays Great Roles in Rescuing Lost Animals
D. Roman Duncan’s Family Adopts a new Family Member

Nobody knows the value of a good doll better than Jandrisevits. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,” she said. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those dolls. But for the kids missing a limb or who had lost their hair, there were none they could relate to.
So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was stuck in self-doubt and self-distrust, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period. “It’s hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are,’ and to build self-esteem (自尊) that way, but never offer them anything that looks like them,”she says.
Jandrisevits went about changing that. She crafted a doll by hand — using fabric, stitching, and markers — that resembled (像) her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the happy child and doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was missing a leg.
Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with scars, birthmarks, facial deformities(畸形), — in short, a doll that looked like them. She quit her job and started a nonprofit, A Doll Like Me.
Working out of her home in Milwaukee, from photos sent by parents or caregivers, it takes Jandrisevits roughly three days to craft only one doll. A GoFundMe page helps her cover costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn’t charged for a doll since she began her nonprofit.
In all, she’s made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandriscvits will never give up. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, “Every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”
8. What made Jandrisevits realize the value of dolls
A. The influence of dolls on her. B. Her working experience.
C. The changing medical situations. D. Her relation to the unlucky kids.
9. What does the underlined word ―that‖ refer to in paragraph 3
A. Children’s concern about their looks.
B. The problems faced by the child of a friend.
C. The challenging period the youth are going through.
D. The fact that words alone fail to help build self-esteem.
10. What can be inferred about Jandrisevits’ making dolls
A. It targets children with mental problems. B. It is time-consuming but meaningful.
C. It is thought poorly of by people. D. It brings in a good fortune.
11 Which of the following best describes Jandrisevits
A. Creative and caring. B. Ambitious and devoted.
C. Considerate and sensitive. D. Knowledgeable and generous.
D
Of the 7 billion people on Earth, roughly 6 billion own a cellphone, which is pretty shocking, given that only 4.5 billion have access to a working toilet.
So how are cellphones changing us On average, people spend 4.7 hours a day looking at their bined with the length of time spent in front of computers, this has led to an increase in the nearsightedness. In North America, in the 1970s about 1/4 of the population had nearsightedness, where today nearly half do; and in some parts of Asia, 80 — 90% of the population is now nearsighted.
And it can be hard to put your phone down, take for example the game Candy Crush. As you play the game, you achieve small goals causing your brain to be rewarded with little bursts of dopamine, and eventually, you are rewarded with new contents of the game. This novelty also gives little bursts of dopamine, and they together create what is known as a “compulsion loop”, which just happens to be the same loop responsible for the behavior associated with nicotine or cocaine. According to a recent study, 93% of young people aged 18—29 report using their smartphones to avoid boredom. Without their phones, they may suffer “nomophobia”—the fear or anxiety of being without their phones.
Your smartphone can also disrupt your sleep! The screen produces a blue light which has been shown to change our biological clock, reducing the time spent in deep sleep, which is linked to the development of diabetes, cancer, and obesity.
Of course, smartphones also completely change our ability to access information, most notably in poor and minority populations. 7% of Americans are entirely dependent on smartphones for their access to the Internet.
So while phones are in no way totally bad, and have been a part of positive change in the world, there’s no denying that they are changing us.
12. Why does the writer mention the near-sighted population in paragraph 2
A. To call on people to stop using cellphones.
B. To demonstrate the bad influence cellphones have on our eyes.
C. To show the eyesight differences between westerners and Asians.
D. To warn us that shortsightedness caused by computers is becoming worse.
13. How does a man with “nomophobia” probably feel if his phone isn’t accessible
A Anxious. B. Energetic. C. Addicted. D. Excited.
14. How do cellphones influence our sleep according to the writer
A. They provide too much exciting information that makes us sleepless.
B. They produce a special light that can cause less deep sleeping time.
C. They can lead to serious diseases related to sleeping problems.
D. They have clocks that ring too loud for us to fall asleep.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How Do Cellphones Change Us B. Put Down Your Cellphone Now!
C. Can We Live Without Cellphones D. Don’t Let Cellphones Ruin Your Eyes!

They say that children learn languages the best. ___16___. We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.
Get real. Decide on a simple, achievable goal to start with so that you don’t feel confused. German translator Judith Matz suggests: “Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people — ___17___.”
Play house with the language. The more you invite a foreign language into your daily life, the more your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about. “Use every opportunity to get involved in the new language,” says Russian translator Olga Dmitrochenkova. ___18___, read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend.
___19___. Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...
Make new friends. ___20___ — it will teach you to naturally express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. Find native speakers near you. Or search for foreign penpals or set up a language connection online, where two volunteers help one another practice their own languages.

B. and look up them in the dictionary
C. Do not worry about making mistakes
D. and then slowly start picking up grammar
