五、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
I was always worried about careless mistakes before. I often thought they were just about "not being careful".
But over time, $\boldsymbol{1}$ We need to change how we work out problems.
I start by understanding that everyone makes mistakes. $\boldsymbol{2}$ Accepting this makes me feel less stressed and helps me get better. For example, once I made a mistake in a Maths test because I was in a rush. Knowing it was common to mess up (搞砸) sometimes made me less hard on myself.
Later, $\boldsymbol{3}$ I write down what I did wrong and organize my mistakes. This helps me learn from my mistakes. I even add some notes on how I could do better next time.
Next, $\boldsymbol{4}$ For Maths, there are steps like checking answers. For writing, I review the paper and do a grammar check. Each time I feel worried, I take a deep breath, and rethink my way and slow down my thinking. This helps me catch mistakes before they happen.
What's more, I celebrate my improvements (改善), no matter how small. $\boldsymbol{5}$ Like when I got one more question right in a quiz than last time, I treated myself to a small piece of chocolate. It really made me keep going and be more careful.
A. It is simply a part of being human.
B. I decided to keep a journal (日志) of my mistakes.
C. I make checklists (检查清单) for different subjects.
D. I learned that these mistakes could show how we think.
E. These checklists become my guides, helping me through my work.
F. This way not only makes me feel sure about my abilities, but also helps me improve.
1. D 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. F

答案： 1. D 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. F

六、阅读理解。
How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language.
"Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way. For example, kids can learn difficult words quickly when they are put in a song," said Dr Karen. The findings may help those who have trouble learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr Ludke writes, "A listen - and - repeat singing way can support foreign language learning and opens the door for future research in this area."
Many language teachers know the importance of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in the USA uses songs to teach Chinese. She says, "I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for kids."
"Sometimes I think if I learn English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak much better English than now," Hua Zhuying adds.
Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So if you are still having trouble learning a language, why not try singing it out?
