First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, with confidence and without hesitation(猶豫). Thirdly, we must do much reading. Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar. There are no shortcuts to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is not much learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must learn through use. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.（1）The most important things to learn a foreign language are .

We must learn through use. Practice is important. “如果我們對(duì)于記點(diǎn)語(yǔ)法規(guī)則就很滿足，但在并不是真正在學(xué)語(yǔ)言。我們必須通過(guò)使用它來(lái)學(xué)這門(mén)語(yǔ)言。所以選B。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”P(pán)ractice is important.
