As we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English well, but some people don't know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your English.
The biggest problem is people's own fear. They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look foolish so that they don't speak English at all. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Only if we aren't afraid of making mistakes can we learn English well.
The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English radios, watch English news, movies and TV programs. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English materials that you have around you, the faster you will learn it.
Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by doing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are making progress.

答案解析：
(1)B.being afraid of being laughed at
在文章中提到：“The biggest problem is people's own fear. They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look foolish so that they don't speak English at all.” 这句话的意思是，学习英语最大的问题是人们自己的恐惧，他们担心自己说错话或者看起来很愚蠢，所以根本不说英语。因此，最大的问题是害怕被嘲笑，选项B是正确的。
(2)A.practicing over and over again
在原文中，作者明确提到：“The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice.”
这句话的意思是学习任何东西最快的方式就是一遍又一遍地练习，直到你做对为止。学习英语需要练习。因此，选项A，即一遍又一遍地练习，是学好英语最快的方式。
(3)D.speaking English with your friends only in class
在原文中提到“Speak English with your friends whenever you can.”，意思是要尽可能和朋友说英语，而不是仅限于在课堂上和朋友说英语。因此，选项D是除外项，即在创造良好环境方面，不需要仅限于在课堂上和朋友说英语。
(4)A.very necessary
文章中提到“However，by doing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself，you will never know how much you are making
progress.”，意思是通过做练习和考试可以真正提高英语水平，如果不测试自己，就不知道自己进步了多少。因此，可以推断出英语练习和考试是非常必要的，答案为A。
(5)C. Four
文章中提到了四个学习英语的建议，分别是克服恐惧、多练习、创造良好的学习环境和通过练习和测试来提高英语。因此，答案是C，即四个建议。
