1．If you really want a taste of the everyday swing of Dutch life，a bike tour through Amsterdam is the way to go.

The bicycle is of course provided and included in the price of the tour.Some tours offer coffee and tea after the tour finishes.Every tour especially has its own theme and route.You can compare them by visiting webpages dedicated to a particular tour.
Amsterdam bicycle tour basics
These tours are usually between one and two hours long.They are guided by friendly and knowledgeable tour guides who are well capable in human interactions and Amsterdam information.What's more，the tour guides usually know multiple languages and are used to overcoming communications barriers.
In case of bad weather
If it rains，no worries，you can choose to cancel your tour free of charge.This applies of course also in case of other bad weather or in case you simply don't feel like taking the tour.The cancellation is easy，without question，and free.
Important during the bicycle tour of Amsterdam

2．I was at a new school in a new state and needed something solid to stand on：a place to feel grounded.I also needed to do laundry，so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes.As I struggled to close the washer door，the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand.The washer did its job，yet even after an hour，the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes.I left，having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later，I learned her name was Sandy，which she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor.I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air.I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it.The next week，Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.
It went on like this.I'd do laundry once a week，usually Thursday or Friday.Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we'd talk small while I folded clothes.She told me about her son and his grades，as well as the new dog they'd just adopted.She was fascinated that I was studying poetry.She teased（開玩笑） that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant.Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there：workers taking breaks by the door，a mother and her baby，and even some delivery drivers.But Sandy was the center of my community.For nearly three years and almost every week，I'd do laundry and talk with her.We checked on each other，expecting the other to be there.We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week.There was a note of concern for the other's absence，a note of joy at their return.
I'd found a place to stand on solid ground.

3．The classic 1951 science fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still"features a frightening robot（Gort） whose threatening actions are under control only when he is commanded，"Klaatubaradanikto".What does this mean？I don't know.But when I overhear my students speaking to each other，I am often similarly confused.
I teach at a university.One of the"problems"is that as the years pass，I get older，but my students remain the same age—18 to 22.Early on，when I was in my 20s and 30s，this wasn't an issue，as we were close enough in age to speak the same language.But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed，and I am not on board.
Let me illustrate：Recently，when I walked into my class，my students were chatting happily with each other.One of their comments caught my ear："Venmo it to me."I had no idea what "Venmo"meant，so I asked.The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me，and in return I nodded with an expression of silly embarrassment，as if I should have known better..
I went home that evening，absorbed in that moment of non-comprehension.I am not against change，but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails.If I were to awaken from a five-year nap，I'd have no idea what people were talking about.I just wouldn't understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort，and I congratulate myself on at least having the desire to know what they're talking about，as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon？The answer，to me，is clear：Klaatubaradanikto.
（1）What did the author probably meet with？
A．Hearing loss.
B．Cultural shock.
C．A language barrier.
D．A frightening robot.
（2）What makes the author fall behind in language？
A．Learning needs.
B．Age difference.
C．Teaching loads.
D．Language abuse.
（3）What does the author think of language change？
A．It is entirely avoidable.
B．It is really small.
C．It is very beneficial.
D．It is much too rapid.
（4）What does the underlined word"wanes"mean in the last paragraph？
A．Lessens.
B．Grows.
C．Happens.
D．Maintains.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5
五、短文改錯

8．I enjoy learning English but can remember individual words easy.However，when it comes to reading comprehension，it's really the challenge.Last weekend，I tried to read a storybook write in English to improve my reading.At first，I refer to the dictionary every time I came across a new word，which I found it not very helpful.I often felt puzzling about what I had read.Then I tried to finish a chapter completely with looking up the new words.What surprised me was I could understand the story merely from the context.I hope I will make great progresses in English in this way.
