A
Betty is not a traditional American nice girl. She is unfashionable, has thick red glasses, untidy hair and large metal braces(牙套)on her teeth. But this hasn't stopped her from becoming one of American's favourite TV characters. So how did she manage to do it? The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty. Betty is the main character in a TV show Ugly Betty. The show is about her life as an office worker at a fashion magazine in New York. Betty has many exciting experiences and romantic stories. Betty is often looked down on and laughed at by the people around. But she manages to do better than others with her hard work, charm and wisdom. The show tells us about how a girl goes from an ugly young duck into a beautiful swan. Though you may know the ending of the show from the beginning and the story is familiar to many of us, it has still been a big success in the USA. It has attracted a large number of viewers and won two Golden Globes awards, one of the highest honors for a television program in the USA.“I think you can see a bit of Betty in all of us, and I mean men as well, because it's about the underdog(弱者),” says Ashley Jensen, who plays one of the characters on the show. The program is so popular because of the performance of the 23-year-old actress America Ferrera who plays the role of Betty. She brings the character alive on the screen.

There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of them. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200, 000, 000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language. Millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads(廣告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? "Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back. . . " "Easy and funny. . . " "Our records and tapes help you master English in a month."Of course, it never happened quite like that.   
The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts(努力) and takes much time. Good teachers, records, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student's work for him.
(1)How many languages are very important in the world?
A.Few.
B.A few.
C.Many.
D.Little.
(2)Which countries use English as the mother tongue?

B.Japan and Italy.
C.Germany and France.
D.England and America.
(3)Which language is easy to learn?

C.Japanese.
D.The mother tongue.
(4)If we want to learn English well, what shall we do?
A.We should study it without any help.
B.We must do a lot of practice.
C.We need to get much money back.
D.We must live in England or America.
