Hello, everyone! My name is Kate. I’m glad to stand here to tell you something about my mother.
I had a mean mother, maybe the meanest mother in the world. while other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to
have cereal（麦片）and eggs. When others had sugary drinks and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at
least I wasn’t alone. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother knew where we were all the time. She knew who our friends were. We had to wear clean clothes and
take a bath every day. We had to be in bed by 9:00 p.m. and get up at 8:00 a.m. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our
friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to
cook, I believe she lay awake at night, thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn’t change a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss
school.
My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of
us have ever done bad things. She made us grow up into educated and honest people. I am trying to raise my children
call me a mean mother because, you see, I am lucky that I had the meanest mother in the whole world.

As an English, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people
are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.
Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of
the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more.
Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign
language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking
foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people
can have a conversation in English. That’s why my people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.
In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is
only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and
many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they
think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.
To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at
school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.
Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government
decides to try!
41. Which country does the writer come from?
A. America. . B. China. . C. Britain. . D. Egypt.
42. Which of the following about the British people is true?
A. They are good language learners.
B. 62% of them speak two or more languages.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. They are famous for speaking foreign languages.

43. According to the passage, students in Britain prefer to learn _____.
A. science or German . B. history or German
C. science or history . D. German or French
44. In Paragraph 4, “an option” means _____.
A. a choice . B. a game . C. a mistake . D. a conversation
45. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Speaking English . B. Foreign Language Learning in UK
C. Schools in UK . D. Young English Learners
