Three years ago, I started working at the University of Leeds. After moving to a new city, I was looking for things to do which can help me to make some new friends. I noticed that a community school was offering Chinese evening classes. Without much thought, I signed up for a Chinese class.

There was one lesson a week, each lasting 90 minutes. Mr.Kong,the teacher, was full of energy. For each class, he would teach us hundreds of new words. After each lesson, I felt it too difficult to continue. Luckily, after a few months, I got used to this.Between classes, I would try to review what I had learned until I understood it. Gradually(逐渐地),I began to realise that the more work I put into Chinese study, the more interesting I found it.

To make further progress,I planned to find a Chinese student to help me with my Chinese. The University of Leeds had more than 600 Chinese students. So it was not difficult to find one. Soon I met my new Chinese friend, Li Hua. He helped me practice my spoken Chinese and go over everything I had learned in class. Finally, I made it.

Although there are so many words and idioms(习语)in Chinese, I am confident to get over any difficulty and become good at Chinese.

1.1.Why did the writer learn Chinese?

A To build a community school

B To make new friends.

C To help with his work

D To move to China.

解析：选B。细节理解题B。文章第一段提到，作者搬到新城市后想找些事情做，以结交新朋友（looking for things to do which can help me to make some new friends），随后报名了中文课。因此，学习中文的主要目的是交朋友，选择B项。

2.2.What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A The writer found the lesson easy at first.

B The writer took the Chinese lesson every day.

C The writer reviewed the lesson between classes

D The teacher taught several new words each lesso

解析：选C。细节理解题C。A 选项，文中提到 “After each lesson, I felt it too difficult to continue.”，说明作者一开始觉得课程难，不是容易，所以 A 错误。B 选项，文中明确说 “There was one lesson a week”，是一周上一节课，不是每天，所以 B 错误。C 选项，由 “Between classes, I would try to review what I had learned until I understood it.” 可知作者在课间会复习所学内容，C 正确。D 选项，文中说 “For each class, he would teach us hundreds of new words.”，是每节课教几百个新单词，不是几个，所以 D 错误。

3.3.How did the writer make further progress in Chinese study?

A By listening to Chinese songs.

B By learning more Chinese idioms.

C By asking a Chinese student for help.

D By working hard on Chinese grammar.

解析：选C。细节理解题C。根据 “To make further progress, I planned to find a Chinese student to help me with my Chinese. Soon I met my new ....go over everything I had learned in class.” 可知，作者为了取得更大进步，找了一位中国学生帮忙学习中文，答案选 C。

4.4.What lesson can we learn from the passage?

A No pains,no gains.

B A good book is a good friend.

C Helping others is helping yourself.

解析：选A。主旨大意题A。文章讲述了作者学中文一开始觉得难，但通过自己的努力复习以及找中国学生帮忙，最终取得进步的故事。这体现了“一分耕耘，一分收获”的道理。A 选项意思是不劳无获，符合文章主旨,选择A为正确答案。B 选项意思是好书如挚友，与文章内容无关。C 选项意思是帮助别人就是帮助自己，文章未体现。D 选项意思是入乡随俗，也不符合文章主旨。
