23、ple seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quicldy than others.

They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own ways to learn the l

25、anguage. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is

26、 active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find the people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate; they are not afraid to re

27、peat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpo

28、se. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want t

One of the

34、other lines was longer, one shorter, one equal to the standard; the differences were great enough that they could be told easily. All but one member of each group had been instructed to agree upon a wrong answer for a majority of the trials. The experimental subject was thus put against a majority,

35、and the subjects problem was whether to disagree with the majority, or to doubt his or her own judgment and agree. Many subjects refused to change and continued to hold to their independent ideas. But a rather large number of them yielded under pressure from others apparent judgments. The amount of

36、yielding depended on the clarity of conditions (lack of clariw led to their following majority opinion) , individual differences, and the size of the opposition. With the opposition of only one other person, there was very little yielding; with two against one the amount of yielding became pronounce

37、d (显著的) ; and a majority of three was nearly as effective as larger majorities against the only one who disagreed.（分数：5.00）(1).What does the passage mainly discuss?（分数：1.00）A.The accuracy of threshold judgment.B.The inability of groups to estimate correct line length.C.The impact of majority opinion

39、 could not accurately judge which lines were equal in length.B.They were told to do so for the purpose of the study.C.They wanted to punish the person who disagreed.D.They did not understand the instruction.(4).It can be inferred from the passage that the main purpose of the experiment was to examin
