What is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists,the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently(流利地). They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly. "But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication(交际)first.
56.Language is used to ________.
A. express oneself B. practice grammar rules
B. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words
57.Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.
A. never makes mistakes

C. can't avoid making mistakes
D. always makes mistakes
58."Foreigners often speak English too correctly. "This sentence means that ________.
A. foreigners speak correct English
B. foreigners speak incorrect English
C. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
59.If too many native speakers break a rule, ________.
A. what they use will become right
B. they are against the law
C. they should say sorry to others
D. they will become heroes
60.When we speak a foreign language, we should ________.
A. speak in Chinese way
B. speak by the rules
C. speak to native speakers
D. not be afraid of making mistakes

(一)One possible version:
English Online made a survey on what junior middle school students do in their spare time. Here is the result.
After school, 60% of them study and read books or do homework at home. 5% watch TV and 15% play computers games. 20% do sports or play outdoors with classmates or friends.
Things are much better than before, but still about 60% of students are busy at studying in their free time. Study is not the only important thing for children. Playing is important for them, too. By playing, children can keep healthy, and can learn things that they can’t get from books. So children need more time to do different kinds of activities.
