Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time. For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible. The word “friend ” can be applied to a wide range of relationships ---- to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant. 1.Many Americans move from place to place for the following reasons except______.

Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，and you are speaking quite fluently.____1__ First of all，remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.___2____ The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated by limited understanding._____3____ Here is some of the advice I give my students： •Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. •Stay relaxed when you do not understand，and try listening to the material for more times. •Do not translate everything into your native language. •_____4_____Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas. •Listen to something you enjoy. I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning，when I didn’t understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion._____5_____Firstly，translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm，I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said. A．But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all! B．What should you do? C．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! D．However，after several weeks，I got used to the new environment in Germany. E．So，what you need to do is to find listening resources. F．Then，after the first six months，I discovered two extremely important facts. G．Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
