阅读理解
For the past few
months, my three-year-old daughter has spent an
hour every week learning a
foreign
language. She walks into a small room in a local
school, where she and a handful of three
and
four-year-old
spend
the
next
hour
dancing
to
“
La
Vaca
Lola”,
a
song
about
a
Spanish
cow,
creating finger
puppets(
木偶
) to voice what
they like and don't like (me gusta, no me gusta)
and
shouting out which animals are big
(grande) or small (pequeno).
She tells us little about the
classes. In fact, for the first few weeks, nothing
at all. I begin to
wonder if it was a
huge mistake (each lesson works out at about ?9)
but then I show her “La Vaca
Lola” on
YouTube. She shouts vaca with enthusiasm and with
what I hope is
a Spanish
accent.
The wish to enro
ll(
使
……
加入
) her in language lessons came, like most things, gradually and
then in a sudden
rush. In my day job, I read and edit stories about
the Chinese economy. For a
long time, I
felt that it would be good for her to learn
another language but I had no great plan as
to when.
Then
I read Edward Luce's
The Retreat of
Western Liberalism
and all my thoughts
and worry
about
the
economy
combined
into
a
panic.
Waking
in
a
sweat,
it
seemed
obvious
that
if
my
daughter was to have any
kind of future, she would have to learn another
language. Ideally
(
理想
地
)
immediately.
I thought
about Mandarin Chinese, one of the top 10
languages most important for our future,
according
to
the
British
Council
(others
include
Arabic,
French,
German,
Portuguese,
Italian,
Russian, Dutch and
Japanese). But there were no classes for young
children nearby. There were,
however,
local Spanish classes
—
the
number-one language on the list. When she started
to sing
Wincy
Spider
in
Spanish
and
English
—
helped
by
a
Spanish
nursery
worker-our
decision
was
made.

I'd
like
to
share
a
little
story
with
you
about
something
that
happened
when
I
was
four.
I
remember it clearly. Our loving family
dog was nearing the end of his life. My father
picked him
up and put him in a little
bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion,
whom we had cared
for, bit my father
when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why?
I couldn't understand it. I
didn't like
him anymore.
I
hadn't
thought
about
that
story
for
a
long
time
but
something
that
happened
last
week
brought it back to me.
I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on
the door, I met in an
instant an angry
look and a few
harsh(
尖刻的
)words. When the
door was slammed(
砰地关上
)in
my face, I stood there shocked, and in
a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20
years
ago or so. What brought that
story back was that same feeling of
betrayal.
Both stories
taught me something the next day. You see, when I
got up in the morning and was
told my
dog had died, it became clear to me that he must
have been in great pain. For him to
have bitten a family member, he could
not have been himself. Much the same for the other
story
when I learned that my friend's
wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our
opinions and feelings. And all of those things can
cause
you
to
say
and
do
things
that
can't
be
understood
by
those
who
are
not
in
the
same
situation with
you.
If you meet someone
either behaving out of character or acting in a
way that doesn't seem to
fit the
situation, put out your hand and be patient when
you think it is least possible for him to
do so. You may turn around a story that
has a sad ending simply by your
actions.

What is the influence of the
incident mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. It hurt his father's
feeling deeply.
B. It has
puzzled the author ever since.
C. It left a deep impression on the
author.
D. It made the
author dislike dogs.

Why
did the author's friend say harsh words to the
author?
A. He

B. He was
suffering the pain of losing his wife.
C. He was bothered by an unexpected
visit.
D. They once
quarreled and he couldn't forgive the
author.

What's the author's advice to us?
A. Help those in
need.
