A
One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary (必要的) to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.
1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I…"
2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"
3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…"
You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing "is very important in understanding English, especially (尤其)spoken English.

Children's Games in Ancient China
During ancient times, children didn't have much to enjoy themselves. However, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood.
Kicking stone balls During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular game in the northern part of China, and it was often played in winter to keep warm. |
Playing hide-and-seek Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play; covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them. |
Flying kites Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each has its own feature. For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite. |

阅读下列短 文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Have you ever met a person who is an author, farmer and explorer? How about a doctor who believes that we should all learn to be good at giving up? These were some of the people I met and the ideas I heard when I attended the TEDxABQ meeting.
TEDx events are held all over the world, from cities like Amsterdam and Sydney to even small towns like my hometown of Albuquerque. Speakers are invited from everywhere in the world to share encouraging ideas about science, education or simply the art of living.
At that meeting, workers encouraged us to use our smartphones to tweet live (发微博直播) from the event and share pictures with others. Then, every tweet was put onto a huge screen in the hall so even the audience could take part in the discussion.
The atmosphere was comfortable. Everyone walked around wearing red T-shirts. We were served cookies and sandwiches. As the event began, I talked to some of the audience, which was full of people from different backgrounds, including engineers and teachers. I felt like the youngest one there!
