A few days ago I was sitting in a Thai restaurant enjoying a meal when I got a phone call from a friend I hadn’t spoken to for a long time. Full of enthusiasm and excitement I talked slightly louder than usual and in Spanish, my mother tongue.
A few minutes into the call the lady sitting beside me got up, seemingly upset, and asked the restaurant staff to relocate her to a table as far away as possible from “this man who won’t get off his phone”
I sank in my seat out of embarrassment. I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to go over and apologize. Before getting up I looked around to see where she was and I found she was, indeed, at the table furthest away from me. I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window, looking a bit sad.
Right then I quit my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture and decided to conduct an experiment. Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet, I took one out. When signing my check I asked the waiter to secretly charge the lady’s meal to my credit card instead of her bill.
I left the restaurant, letting the waiter know I would be back in a few hours to pick up my credit card. I returned later as promised, excited to learn the result.
To my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way. A group of restaurant staff approached me with joy, telling me that the lady had dined there many times, but they had never seen her smile and laugh like she did upon receiving the smile card and the $0 check. 24. Why did the lady ask the restaurant staff to relocate her? A. She didn’t understand Spanish. B. She preferred to stay on her own.
C. She wanted to sit beside the window. D. She felt bothered by the author’s phone call.
25.What did the author want to do first after he ended his phone call? A. Apologize to the lady. B. Pay for the lady’s meal. C. Conduct an experiment. D. Give the lady a smile card. 26. According to the text, the lady_______. A. was unfriendly to others B. was too poor to afford a meal C. was not happy deep in her heart D. was particular about where she sat 27. What is the best title fir the text?
A.A poor lonely lady B.A smile card apology C.An improper phone call D.An unpleasant experience

Speaking many languages fluently is generally considered cool yet difficult to achieve, especially if second, third and fourth languages are acquired later in life. As an advocate of language learning, I of course agree that it’s cool, but I challenge the assumption that it’s difficult.
My name is Luca Lampariello. Aged 35, I speak 11 languages fluently. For learning a language, motivation is fundamental. Heaps of books and hours of study are nowhere near enough. It’s about travelling to remarkable places, meeting inspiring people, enjoying delicious food and starting many journeys of self-discovery. I find my motivation to learn more languages from these experiences, the experiences that these languages make possible.
I still remember that English was already a world language by the time I turned 10 in 1991. Its study was compulsory. I struggled at first. I didn’t like the teacher, grammar explanations confused me, and the material was dull. I thought I’d never learn it. Then my parents decided to hire a private English tutor. I was 13 and she was wonderful. She didn’t simply instruct me in the language, but helped me discover
