If you are fond of learning languages，you must start learning Chinese.English is the most widely spoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields.But it is expected that Chinese，which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations（UN），will be the most important language in the coming years.What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it？
My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process，I deepened my knowledge of the languages and literature.However，I did not feel self-sufficient（自給自足的） from this knowledge.I gained a lot of information about the Western world.But my thinking was always about Asian civilizations.I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because "without learning Chinese，we see with one eye".
My contact with many international organizations and government institutions made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time.After visiting the world's most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London，I discovered that Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places.In the subway in Paris，you will hear instructions in French，English and Chjye.aiese.In London，for example，the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.
China is an important political（政治的）and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before.The world is watching China with great surprise，and this peaceful Chinese rise（崛起）makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture.
To be a global citizen these days，I would advise you to learn Chinese.It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilization（文明）.

2．A few weeks ago，I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro．I asked him what he wished to know about farmers．He smiled and said， "That we walk among you．We look like you and talk like you．We have advanced degrees and hobbies，just like you．"
Take Dave for example：He's a young man with a music degree．And if you walked past him on the street，you'd never think， "There goes a farmer．"
Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer？Probably not．I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls（工作服）．I can tell you，that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know．
Not only do we have to throw out our previous impression of farmers，but farming as a whole doesn't look much like it used to either．We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like，and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places．
In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn，they met a new crop of young farmers who were trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical（垂直的） farms．In a Florida field under the fight path of an airport，they discovered farmers with university degrees growing plants that might someday fuel our cars．And in a modern farm in California，they observed how farmers were using technology to take the best possible care of their animals．
These farmers all spend their days in very different ways-none of them looks like the previous farmer we have in our mind-but they're all working on new ways to feed our planet．Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like，but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from．Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together．
（1）How does Dave describe today's farmers？
A．They often walk on the street．
B．They are leading a very busy life．
C．They are similar to ordinary people．
D．They have little time to make friends．
（2）How does the author think most people see farmers？
A．They usually wear overalls．
B．They have interesting hobbies．
C．They are skilled at growing crops．
D．They know modern farming practices．
（3）What was the purpose of the team？
A．To deepen connections among farmers．
B．To study different technologies in farming．
C．To find the new developments of modern farming．
D．To encourage farmers to use new farming method．
（4）What do the farmers mentioned in Paragraph 5 have in common？
A．They all work in the city．
B．They all use high technology．
C．They all do hard physical work．
D．They all work with universities．發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：26引用：5難度：0.7 -
3．Your child is unique，but what all children have in common is natural curiosity and an ability to learn they are born with.Our brains are active all the time，and a baby's brain is the busiest of all.Research has shown that babies begin to understand language about twice as fast as they actually speak it.By showing children other languages at an early age，you are giving them the opportunity to make use of their natural ability to hear and recognize between the sounds of other languages，and their ability to make sense of what they are hearing.
Communication is something that children do to help them achieve something else，and they are unaware of the large amount of learning taking place.They take everything in through their senses，making connections between what they hear，see，smell，taste and touch.As long as we provide the right conditions，their learning and development will take place in a natural way.
In your child's early years，the emotional environment is just as important as the physical environment.Children learn when they feel safe，happy，valued and listened to.This is central to any learning experience in a child's early years，including learning an additional language.Your child has a trial-and-error approach to its development，and making mistakes is a valuable part of the learning process.When children learn an additional language at an early age，they get the benefits of experimenting with that language as a natural part of their development.Their progress isn't prevented by a fear of getting it wrong，and very young children are simply working their way towards getting it right.
The long-term benefits of learning another language go beyond being able to communicate with others.Studies suggest that children learning an additional language tend to score better on standardized tests because learning languages develops listening，observation，problem-solving and critical （批判性的） thinking skills.These are skills that are of life-long benefit，both personally and professionally.Encouraging in children a love of language at an early age prepares them well for school and for life.
