As an English,I can speak three languages—English,German and French,so do you think the British people are very good language learners?The fact is that they aren’t.

Some statistics(数据) from the survey done by the European Commission(欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English.38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more.Compared with the British people,56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more.From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language.Many European people can have a conversation in English.That’s why my people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain,students are not required to learn a foreign language.That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school.In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14.So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school?Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this situation,the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school.One way is to start learning it at a much younger age.Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!

Long,long ago people made fires from lightning(闪电).But they had to keep the fire burning,for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightning.Later,they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark(火花).The spark could fire dry leaves.In this way they could make the fire again if it went out.Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing(摩擦).They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole.They turned the stick again and again.After a few minutes they got a fire.

As years went by,people learned other ways to make a fire.Sometimes they used the heat from the sun.They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.

About two centuries ago,people began to make matches.Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires.Today matches are still being used,but people have more new ways to make fires.One of them is to use an electric fire starter.Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches.But it is very useful. 1.From the text we know that a spark can .

Recently the “China Dream” has been the subject of a public topic.Although it is quite common for Chinese people to dream of an empowered(强大的) or a prosperous(繁荣) China,most people also have their own dreams.Throughout China’s thousands of years of history,these “China Dreams” have always existed.Do you have a “China Dream”?I brought up this topic with several young Chinese students with higher US educational backgrounds.Unsurprisingly,they all had their own heartfelt hopes and dreams for their native country.

Fred Wang,an MBA candidate in the US said,“I dream of equal chance for the young in China.Equality means all young people can compete fairly,based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”

Yujie Zhao,another MBA candidate in California said,“I dream of a happy family with an affordable home.I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line,and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they retire(退休).” She said,“It seems like all my dreams are about family,but it is so true for most Chinese young dreamers today.”

Yiqiong Zhang,an MBA graduate from the US shared her dreams.“I have a dream which I have been holding for many years—that is after working hard for about 20 to 25 years,I can have enough money to build and manage a small bookstore or a flower shop.Besides working hard,I am able to enjoy life:to play the piano,to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year.This may be a common dream among young Chinese students.”

There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own “China Dream”.They all love China,and they all love chasing their dreams.Beautiful “China Dream” requires hard work.Everyone should work hard to make their dream come true. 1.Which is TRUE about the three young Chinese students? A.They receive higher education in China.

B.They have their own hopes and dreams for China. C.They have their own hopes and dreams for America. D.They only have dreams that can’t come true. 答案:B

解析:由最后一段“There is no doubt that all of these young students have their own ‘China Dream’.They all love China,...”可知答案。
