15.As an international student,you are probably not as comfortable listening and speaking as reading and writing in English.Here are some tips to help you strengthen your skills in conversation.
Make friends with American students.Many international students make friends only with each other,which I don't think is a good idea.(36)GBesides,it helps you pick up cultural and social cues(信號(hào)).
(37)ATell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills,and would like them to help you.If you pronounce a word incorrectly,or misuse an idiom,you want them to tell you.You will learn much faster this way.
Expand your knowledge.(38)FIf you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation,you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk,and of being able to express yourself well.This helps you overcome both a culture gap and language barriers-and gives you a great excuse to watch TV.
Become a tutor at your school.(39)D,you try to find alternative ways to make yourself understood.I owe most of my fluent English to my years of being a math tutor in college.Tutors are also usually relatively well paid,so this is a good way to make some extra cash while improving your conversational English skills(40).C
A.Learn from native speakers.
B.Once you have trouble in the U.S
C.It's a win-win for international students.
D.If you have to explain something to someone in English
E.Learn which U.S.colleges welcome the most international students.
F.Read books,keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.
G.Hanging out with natives naturally pushes you to improve your oral English.

4.Do you have any skiing equipment you are no longer need?A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use.
In March we published a photostory about the extraordinary Zsnskar region in northern India,which is cut off from the outside wodd for more than seven months of the year,and only accessible via a frozen river.We also included information about the limited use of skiing in the region and the recent creation of the Zanskar Ski School:
"Despite the difficulties of travelling through the region when the snow comes,skiing hash't traditionally been used as a means of transport by the locals,largely because trees don't grow here,so there is little in the way of raw materials from which to make skis.In 1995,a group of British scientists in the region noticed the lack of skis and one of them returned to set up the Zanskar Ski School in Padam.The school provides lessons for a small fee and rents out donated skis to the local people.Among the benefits that the school hopes to bring are improved education-children often find it difficult to get to school through the deep snow-and the possibility of offering ski tours to tourists in the future.So far,more than 300 local people have received training,and local doctors and policemen regularly borrow skis."
But,what we weren't able to include in the article is that the ski school is always on the look out for old skiing equipment-particularly of a size suitable for children-and,I thought.now the European ski season is drawing to a close,there might be a few of you out there who have some old equipment you'd like to see go to a good home.If that's the ease you can get in touch with the school via their website www.zanskarskischooL.org.
66.What's the purpose in writing the text?A
A.To ask people to give away their skis to the school
B.To attract more tourists to the area
C.To appeal to more locals to attend the school
D.To raise money to develop this area
67.The local people don't use skiing to go about becauseC.
A.it is against the local custom
B.trees are in the way of the skiing route
C.they don't have the wood to make skis
D.it is dangerous to go skiing in this region
68.The Zanskar Ski SchoolB.
A.has donated money to the local community
B.makes it easier for the students to attend school
C.provides special training to the tourists
D.has borrowed many skis from Europe
69.Who would be the most helpful to the school now?C
A.Locals in Zanskar region.           B.Students in the Zanskar Ski School.
C.People having old skiing equipment.  D.Tavellers enjoying skiing.
70.What can be the best title for the text?D
A.An extraordinary region in India    B.The Zanskar Ski School
C.A good means of transport         D.A home for old skis.
