　　My friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation（住宿） wasn't wonderful，but we had everything we needed (beds，blankets，food)，and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.

　　On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn't know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.

　　We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunch time.

Though we were covered with mud，we were pleased and excited by what we'd done.

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “ How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master( 掌握 ) the rules( 规则 ) for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

“She only likes apples.” Only she likes apples.” I have seen the film already.” I have already seen the film.”

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit( 精神实质 ) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

59. From the passage we know that _______ when we are learning English.

A. we shouldn’t put every word into our own language

B. we should look up every word in the dictionary

C. we need to put every word into our own language

D. we must read word by word

60. The writer thinks it is _______ in learning English.

A. difficult to understand different
