Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such1that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on 2things in life and about devoting ourselves to3is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would4the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 5 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at6street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His7was dirty, and a stench came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of8all over the house 9he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon10that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to11 the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a12man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said13; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up14, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans,15or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can be easy if you don’t want or need to learn too much.
The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like running. Even if you run twice a week, you don’t necessarily want to be able to run a marathon (馬拉松). You might just want to keep a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning.
Let’s get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the country, you know that you will be sure to do this. However, if you decide to talk to people with great fluency (流利), unless you are quite a talented person, you will probably fail and give up in half-way.
It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will not be able to move further because of grammar, making sentences, learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and sentences, you will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won’t have to spend too much time.
The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn’t the usual way to language learning, but it can be a very meaningful and enjoyable activity.
【小題1】In the writer’s opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _______.

A.they are especially talented people
B.they don’t want or need to learn too much
C.they have to spend a lot of time on it
D.they have a chance to go abroad
【小題2】The writer believes that if you want to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _______.
A.forget your own goals
B.become a talented language learner
C.get tired of learning it
D.reach your learning goal
【小題3】The best title of this passage would be _______.
A.Easy Language Learning B.Hard Language Learning
C.Fluency in a Foreign Language D.A way of Language Learning
