• 2．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-olds 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 wisn to enroll（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）9 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，F(xiàn)rench，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 "Incy Wincy Spider" in Spanish and English一helped by a Spanish nursery worker一our decision was made．
  
  （1）What can we learn about the author's daughter from the first paragraph？

  
  A．She uses finger puppets to make her voice heard．
  B．She is the oldest student in her Spanish class．
  C．She learns Spanish by dancing to songs．
  D．She has learnt Spanish for one month．
  （2）How did the author feel about her daughter's class at first？

  
  A．Proud．
  B．Surprised．
  C．Delighted?
  D．Doubtful．
  （3）Why did the author ask her daughter tb learn a foreign language？

  
  A．To prepare her for the coming school education．
  B．To equip her for her future．
  C．To encourage her to have belief in herself?
  D．To develop her interest in singing．
