Tom went to the USA during the summer holiday. He took a summer course in English. He went there on July 5th and came back on August 25th. When he was in New York, he lived with an American family. The course was also very good. The teachers taught them to listen, speak, read and write in English. But it was mostly speaking. One interesting thing he found was that the American classes are different from our classes because they are quite free. They can sit anywhere they like in the classroom. They can ask the teacher question at any time during the class. And the student is welcome to share his ideas with the class. Tom really liked this kind of class.

听第二篇短文，回答第16至20小题。

When my parents asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I told them I wanted a DVD of Simon Smith playing table tennis. He is my favorite table tennis player. He is really fast and never seems to get tired. No one can ever guess where he will hit the ball next. He has won six international competitions. I want to be just like him. I play table tennis for my school team and I practise five days a week. However, my parents didn’t give me the DVD. Instead, they took me to see Simon Smith play a real table tennis match! We had wonderful seats that were very close to the court. Of course, Smith won the match. It was the best day of my life.
