Research has shown that motivation is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives-the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment are only some of the possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.
Courage is an essential attribute in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, bat don’t be afraid of making mistakes--that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.
Curiosity is not only a possible motivation. It is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture or different cultures. It is no good learning strings of words and lists of grammatical tales unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas wich are being conveyed, the references which are being made, the inferences Which can be drawn from the information explicitly given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English--watch television programmes, listen to tile radio, try to obtain newspapers and magazines which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read--not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. They will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used, and much of its effect from a whole network of extra-linguistic knowledge. If you live in a country where English is the native language, you acquire this knowledge naturally, just as in China you acquire your own cultural knowledge unconsciously. But because you are unlikely to be able to visit countries where English is spoken as the native language, you have to make a conscious effort to acquire this cultural awareness and knowledge.

答案
B
解析
推断题。作者写作的目的主要是告诉中国学生怎样学好英语,由此可排除A;从文中倒数第二句,可以推断出作者不是中国人,故可排除C、D,因而选B。本题极易选成A,但如果从整体上把握作者的语气,A就可轻易排除了。
