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.

Paris is the city of
dreams. If you plan to head to Paris for a study
period, then perhaps a little
reality
check is in order. But my experience was a
romantic one.
I paved my
path to Paris
through an exchange
program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly
reminded of the official processes I
had to complete
—
forms to
be filled in, meetings to attend,
the
list seemed endless.
Then the real work began. Once classes were
underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral
presentations and assignments first,
rather than last. This method proved to be very
helpful.
Once
I
had
finished
class
for
the
week,
I
had
an
ever-increasing
list
of
museums
to
visit,
neighborhoods to explore, and cafés to
sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and
other
foreigners living there. But the
one thing that reading a book or talking to
someone cannot do is
to provide you
with the experience of wandering Paris on foot.
The people watching, the sounds
of the
city, the colors as the seasons change, they all
add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris
as an exchange student.
After spending five months
wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I
fell in love with
the
atmosphere
that
came
out
from
every
open
door,
and
with
every
spoken
word.
There
is
something comforting about walking to
the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful
display of
fruits, vegetables and dairy
products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the
passers-by.
On my last
day in Paris, I confidently said,
the
street. I guess the best part about going on
exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city
in
your own way. And I know mine is
unique and special to me, my own little pieces of
Paris.

What does the underlined word
A. Courage.
B. Imagination.
C. Happiness.
D. Reputation.

What does the
passage mainly tell us?
A. An exchange student's life.
B. Charming neighborhoods.

Beyo
nd reading books, which experience would the
author treasure most?
A. Enjoying coffee in his spare time.
B. Greeting people in French in the
street.
C. Buying vegetables
in the market.
D.
Hanging around in Paris.
（

According to the
passage, what left the author the deepest
impression?
A.
The friendly people he met in Paris.

in the city.

“The

My First Day of
School
Fear started
taking over, I was walking into my first school in
America. I had traveled a long
distance
from India in order to join my parents, who had
been for three years, hoping America
would help my future. My father decided
that I would be better off going to school here,
so I
enrolled(
登记
)in
the local high school in my new town.
I
was
afraid
how
I
would
do.
On
the
first
day,
I
went
to
my
second
period
class
after
I
had
missed my first. With
anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it
slowly. Without paying attention
to my
classmates, I went straight to the teacher and
asked if this was the right class. With a soft
voice
he
answered.
His
voice
comforted
me
a
little.
He
gave
me
a
sheet
called
Course
Requirements, which I
would never get in India because we didn't have
anything like that. Then
he asked me to
choose where I would sit. I didn't actually want
to pick a seat. In India we had
fixed
seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I
spent the rest of the class taking notes from
the image produced by the overhead
projector. In Indian schools, we didn't use the
technology
we had. We had to take notes
as the teacher spoke.
It
was noon. I was very confused about when I would
have lunch. I went to my next class and
the bell rang as I entered. I went
through the regular process of asking the teacher
if I was in the
right class. She said,
Changing from a gentle tone to a
harsher(
刺耳的
)one, she said,
man.
I
apologized. Without another word I headed for the
cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn't
have this in India. Every confusion
seemed like a barrier I had to get through to
reach my goal. At
the end of the day, I
was on my way to the bus which we didn't have in
India either. I spotted my
bus and sat
down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn't
so bad.

Generally speaking,
people like those who have a good sense of
humor.
Sometimes a touch
of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the
case of a young friend
of mine, who hit
a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after
receiving an ultimatum
(
最后通牒
)
about
being
late
on
the
job.
Although
there
was
a
good
reason
for
Brian's
being
late
—
serious
illness at
home
—
he decided that this
by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer.
His boss
was probably already pacing up
and down preparing a dismissal speech.
Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered
the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a
locker room
(
更衣室
): everyone
was hard at work. Brian's boss came up to him.
Suddenly, Brian forced a smile
and
stretched out his hand.
understand,
became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesn't the
early bird get the worm?
The room exploded in laughter. The boss
clamped off a smile and walked back to
his office.
Brian had saved his job,
with the only tool that could
win
—
a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet
frequently neglected means of handling the
difficult situations in
our lives. It
can be used for patching up differences,
apologizing, saying
the other fellow to
do what you want without his losing face. For some
jobs, it's the only tool that
can
succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so
sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel.
For
example, many believe that
comedians on television are doing more today for
racial and religious
tolerance
(
忍受力
) than people in any
other forum.

Brian was late for his job
because ________.
A. he got up late
