第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

In schools all over the world boys and girls are learning foreign languages. Many grown-ups are doing so in their spare time. Everybody knows his own language, but to know another is very useful.

Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember we all learnt our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. It listens to what people say and tries to imitate（模仿） what it hears. When it wants something, it has to ask for it. It is using the language. It is talking and thinking in it all the time. If one has to use a second language all the time, he would learn it quickly.

It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words through the ear. Of course you also learn to read them, spell them and write them.

There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough simply to memorize (记住) rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are satisfied with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. "Learn through practice" is a good piece of advice for those who are learning a new language. Practice is important as much as we can. We learn to swim by getting into the water and swimming. And we learn to speak English by speaking it and not being told about it.

56. The writer’s main purpose in writing this passage is to tell _________.

A. something about foreign language

B. the beginners how to learn a foreign language

C. the readers how to imitate others

D. something about how to practice listening and speaking

57. People know their native language well only because _________.

A. they know their native language is useful

B. they learn it by reading and writing

C. they learn it by hearing it and master it by using it

D. they treat it as their own language

58. It would be _________ if we learn
