this nectar into the honey sacks of their bodies, and enzymes in their bodies turn the nectar
into honey. This newly made honey flows slowly from the underside of the bees and is
stored in cells in the hive to be used as food during the winter months. Some people are in
the honey business and keep hundreds of hives. Beekeepers remove honey from the hives
and pack it in bottles or jars. Honey usually appears as a clear golden-colored liquid, but this
depends on the kind of flower from which the bees have taken the nectar.

answer to each of the questions.
Pronouncing a language is a skill. Ever}’ normal person is an expert in the skill of
pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient at
pronouncing foreign languages. There are many reasons for this, some obvious, some
perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do
not speak foreign languages very well is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem
of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Too
many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill - one that needs
careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take
care of itself. I think even teachers of languages, while recognizing the importance of a good
accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with
speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must
be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and
should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention.
So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling,
are allowed for the moment to take second place.
28. What does the writer actually say about pronouncing foreign languages?
A. Only a few people are really proficient.
B. No one is really an expert in the skill.
C. There aren’t many people who are even fairly good.
D. There are a lot of people who are moderately proficient.


29. The writer argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way
is_______.
A. an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctly
B. a fundamental consequence of not speaking well
C. a consequence of not grasping the problem correctly
D. not an obvious cause of speaking poorly
