听力原文: Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them.'? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.
First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves; They are good guessers who look for clues and form. their own conclusions. When guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.
Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They
find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.

Small space stations can be 【27】______ on the earth and launched orbit by 【28】______ rockets. Larger stations are 【29】______ in space. Rockets or space shuttles 【30】______ modules of the station into space, where astronauts assemble them. Old modules can be replaced, and new modules can be 【31】______ to expand the station.
A space station has 【32】______ one docking port 【33】______ which a visiting spacecraft can attach itself. Most docking ports 【34】______ of a rimmed doorway called a hatch that can connect 【35】______ the hatch on the visiting spacecraft to form. an airtight seal. When the two hatches open, they form. a pressurized tunnel between the station and the visiting spacecraft.
The main tasks of a space station crew involve scientific research. For example, they might analyze the 【36】______ of micro gravity on various materials, 【37】______ the earth's surface, or study the stars and planets.
Astronauts 【38】______ a space station also 【39】______ much of their time to the assembly of equipment and the expansion of the station's facilities.
