要提高我们的英语水平，关键是多读、多写、多听、多说。另外，尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。若果你的脑子里没有存储大量好的英语文章，你就不能用英语自由的表达自己的思想。一边学一边总结经验

As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.

众多事实证实这一说法：要想让自己很快从低落的情绪中解脱出来，你得让自己哭。你不必为“哭”而感到羞愧。忧虑和悲伤能随同眼泪一起流出身体。

虽然英语是如何产生的对许多人来说还是个谜，语言学家认为它和很多欧洲语言来自同一个源头，即印
欧母语。英语最初是在公元五世纪入侵英格兰的盎格鲁撒克逊人使用的。他们将英语的基本词汇传给了我们。在十五个多世纪的发展中，英语通过大量借用丰富了自己。随着英国移民登陆美洲并建立了独立的美利坚合众国，英语又增添了一个新的变种：美语。虽然有人担忧英语的发展失控了，但大多数以英语为母语的人对他们语言的宽容性感到自豪。
Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.

1. 这个村庄曾因其优美的自然环境而闻名于世，这里终年树木长青，鲜花盛开。清澈的溪水从山间流出，穿过棋盘版的水稻田。鸟儿整天在歌唱，鹿悠闲地来来往往。然而，在使用DDT和其他杀虫剂后，这个村庄像是中了什么邪。灾难接踵而来。鸡突然死去；牛羊得了怪病；农场主抱怨说有种恶心的感觉，使村里的医生感到莫名其妙。曾经是生机勃勃的村广场，现在变得空荡荡。
This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.
