Sometimes it is difficult to talk to taxi drivers. They must give all their attention to the road as they work out the shortest way to the place where you are going. However, passengers from Wangfujing were in surprise when they took a taxi. The driver just would not stop talking ―in English.

Organized by the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy, “Dare to Speak” examines if Chinese people will speak English in “real-life” situations. Matthew Knowles, an acting student from South Carolina at Beijing Film Academy, acted the part as the “driver”. He collected six passengers on Saturday morning, most of whom were female white-collar workers.

“Of course they were surprised at first, wondering why I’m driving a taxi, and wondering whether this is a real taxi, but then most of them were pretty willing to speak,” he said. Knowles said he was also surprised by his “passengers”. “Apart from my first ‘passenger’, who could speak very little English, all the rest spoke English very well, and it was fun to communicate with them,” he said, adding that some “passengers” were quite talkative.

The “foreign taxi driver” project was just one of the “Dare to Speak” activities, which have been going on since the end of October. Other projects included a foreign store owner near a high school in Beijing, a cook in a Shanghai university canteen. They were testing the willingness of Chinese people, especially students and white-collar workers, to speak to foreigners in English. Rong Xin, senior manager of IELTS (雅思) with the British Embassy, said they hoped to let IELTS takers in China know that communication is the most important goal of IELTS.

“We hope that more and more IELTS takers in China can realize the importance of communicating in English in real life, instead of just getting high test scores,” she said.

1. Why did Matthew Knowles drive a taxi?

A. He enjoyed chatting with people in English.

B. He played the role of a taxi driver in a film.

C. He took part in the project “Dare to speak”

D. He wanted to improve his Chinese while driving.

2.The Chinese may meet and talk to _______ in “Dare to speak” projects.

A. a white-collar worker

B. a high school student

C. a restaurant manager

D. a foreign store owner

3.The purpose of the project “Dare to Speak” is to _______ .

A. draw Chinese people’s attention to IELTS

B. remind language learners of the goal of learning

C. attract more foreigners to start business in China

D. give more chances for English learners in China

It is of great importance for students to be able to get a feel for the rhythm and sounds of a poem---more so than for most pieces of prose (散文). This isn’t always easy in a second language, and so listening to their teacher read the poem, or to a professional recording, perhaps by the poet or by an actor, is, I feel, necessary.

As with any listening activity, students will need some kind of preparation and task so that they can be actively engaged. They might be asked to check predictions that arose from a warm-up discussion, to compare their suggested rhyming couplets with the poet’s, or to identify stressed words and syllables.

You might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or live discussions about poems. This can, for example, take the form of a couple of teachers or a group of students giving their views on a poem, or even an interview with the poet.

I’m a big fan of jigsaw listening because of the natural information gap. If your school has the facilities, you might like to:

divide your students into two, or even three groups

give each group a different cassette or CD and tasks to work on

then they come back together to share what they have learned.

Remember that your own enthusiasm is a key factor in any activity relating to literature in the classroom.

Finally, don’t forget to encourage art for art’s sake. Listening for pleasure, to poetry (or to anything else, for that matter), is to be fostered at every opportunity, because of the obvious benefits which include motivation, vocabulary acquisition and learner independence. Many good song lyrics (歌詞) could be termed poetry and treated accordingly in the classroom, copyright rules permitting.

1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. An English student will have difficulty understanding Li Bai’s poems.

B. an English student will have some difficulty understanding Walt Whitman.

C. A Chinese student will have some difficulty understanding Du Fu’s works.

D. An American student will have some difficulty understanding William Shakespeare.

2.What kind of preparations should the students do in the listening activity？

a. They’d better predict what the poem is about.

b. They’d better have a warm-up discussion.

c. They will share their own works with their classmates

d. They should know the stressed words.

e. They should make clear the stressed syllables.

f. They should first go to an actor.

A. abcf B. abde C. cdef D. bcdf

3.Who do you think is this passage written for?

A. The students. B. The poets.

C. The teachers. D. The readers.

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. How to use poems to develop the students’ skills.

B. Listening to poem is more difficult than reading prose.

C. The schools should encourage the students to study poems.

D. Preparations should be done before teaching.

Zebras have their own bug repellent(驅(qū)蟲劑)?

Eww bugs! They are so annoying! We humans are lucky that we can apply repellents to avoid nasty bites. But what’s an animal to do? They have no choice but to spend their days shooing them off with their tails, unless, of course, they are zebras, who apparently have their own automatic repellent--- their striped skin!

Scientists had originally thought that the reason why the animal had developed the black and white lines was to help protect itself from predators (食肉動物)in the African savannah(大草原), because the stripes make it difficult to single out one zebra that is traveling with a herd.While that may be true, the theory has never been tested or proven. Now the experts have another---that the stripes have evolved to repel the annoying horse flies that not only feed off their blood, but also, transmit dangerous germs into the bodies of these innocent animals.

The study was performed by a team of Swedish scientists. One of the clues that got them thinking along these lines was the fact that darker horses got bitten more often than light-colored or white ones.

The fact that zebras are born black and only develop stripes as they grow older made the scientists theorize that the stripes may be something the animals have developed to make themselves less attractive to flies.

To test if this may be the case, they painted some boards at a horse-infested(寄生的) horse farm in Budapest with patterns of black and white stripes of varying widths and applied a layer of glue on them. What they noticed was that the places where the black and white stripes were at their narrowest (similar to what zebras have) attracted the fewest flies. They achieved similar results when they painted horses with black and white zebra-like stripes.

While the research are not sure why this may be the case, they believe it may be something to do with the way insects operate---horseflies are attracted to horizontally polarized light(偏振光); since white does not reflect it, white horses are luckier than black ones. But zebras seem to be the luckiest of all. When the researchers measured the polarized light reflected from real zebra skins, they found that it matched light patterns that were the least attractive to horseflies.

While this theory does make logical sense, nobody is 100 percent sure that it is really true, given that it has never been tested on a real zebra. If it is true, it does raise the question of why a horse, a close relative of the zebra has failed to develop stripes. The researchers believe that this could be because there are more horseflies in Africa, where zebras reside, then anywhere else in the world.
