Eighty-four per cent of US people are monolingual (speakers of only one language). This leaves a small number who 38 to speak two or more languages. No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything 39 English is a marker of difference here. Thats why fourteen-year-old Umar is 40 when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umars mother points out: “In U.S.A, its not 41 for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in U.S.A, it is thought that you are not helping them to 42 society.” But in fact, the general 43 among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilinguals people who speak _44 languages have a clear learning advantage 45 their monolingual schoolmates. This 46 on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used, 47 they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language. Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says: “A lot of studies have 48 that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more 49 , but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects.” The view is that there is a(n) 50 from the effort of learning another language. A few other 51 agree that “Bilinguals tend to use language better as a whole. They also 52 greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily”. With all of the benefits, why do we not show more 53 for learning other languages. Parents and teachers 54 in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general 55 to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame.36.

CharingB At an age when many people are still looking to find a career, US director-screenwriter Damien Chazelle, 32, is already at the top of his. Two of the three movies he wrote and directed Whiplash (爆裂鼓手，2014) and La La Land (爱乐之城，2016) have won several Academy Awards . On Feb 27, La La Land took home six Oscars, including Best Director, which makes him the youngest director in history to win the award. At a moment like this, its perfectly normal if someone gets a little carried away with their sudden fame. But that “someone” is not Chazelle. This might be hard to believe, but the director said that he has been living in self-doubt for all his life. He has a habit of worrying that everything will go wrong and that people wont like his stories, even if the fact that he went to Harvard Film School is enough for many people to feel jealous. “The one thing I think that Im good at is not getting confident,” he said in an interview with website Firstshowing. In fact, he wrote the story for Whiplash in 2013 but didnt feel good about it at first. He locked it away for a year before finally having the courage to show it to a film producer. And it turned out to be a great story. But self-doubt didnt stop Chazelle from trying, because he knew that “the more a project scares you, the more that probably means its worth doing,” he told GQ magazine. And that was the attitude he took with La La Land, even if it was a big challenge. For starters, musicals are not as popular among audiences as regular movies. Shooting a musical is also much harder because its like making three projects all at once the movie itself, a singing album, and a dancing concert. But Chazelle managed to not only finish it, but also make it the biggest winner at the Oscars. To Chazelle, perhaps, no matter how scared he is, trying new ideas is always more important than staying in his comfort zone . “I have so much respect for movies that try something or risk being embarrassing . Thats much more inspiring to me than movies that play it safe,” he told Vice magazine.59.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Damien Chazelle according to the article? A. He taught himself directing and screenwriting. B. He has achieved in his career at a young age. C. All the movies he directed have won Academy Awards. D. He kept improving the story for Whiplash before making it into a movie.60. It can be concluded from Paragraph 3-5 that Chazelle _. A. isnt interested in winning Oscar awards B. has a habit of doubting everything around him C. always has little confidence in his work D. feels proud that he went to Harvard Film School61.What does the “attitude” in Paragraph 7 refer to? A. Doing whatever is worth doing. B. Taking on challenges bravely. C. Making the safest move. D. Trying to make things perfect.62.The article is mainly about _. A. what made La La Land the biggest Oscar winner B. Damien Chazelles long career as a film director C. the creative directing skills Damien Chazelle uses in his works D. how Damien Chazelle is successful, though he doubts himselfC Why not write in a foreign language? If people feel free to choose their profession, their religion, and even their sex, why not just decide which language you want to write in? Ever since Jhumpa published In Other Words in Italian, people have been asking me, “Why dont you write in Italian, Tim? After all, youve been in the country 35 years. What keeps you tied to English?” Is it just a question of economic convenience? Certainly economics can be important. It was the factor that pushed Conrad to abandon his Polish mother tongue. If it is not possible to publish at home, or to publish there as one would wish to publish, then one is likely to go elsewhere. And if to publish elsewhere one has to change language, then some authors are willing to take that step. Something of the same logic has driven many writers from Africa, Asia to write in French and English in recent years. There is also the fact that people in Europe and the West are interested in the countries they grew up in. Just as in the nineteenth century, novelists like Thomas Hardy could “sell” their familiarity with peasant life to a middle-class metropolitan public, so these writers have interested us with stories that might seem common in their home countries. There is also a real internationalism in the decision to change language. If you have “a message” and if English is the language that offers maximum spread, then it would seem appropriate to use it. All these are of meaning. Critics tend to pay attention only to those who have made a success of writing in a new language. In April 2014, a New York Times article essentially listed young literary stars who had switched to writing in the main Western languages. At this point, the native English speaker almost begins to feel at a disadvantage for having been born into the dominant culture. Should we perhaps head for Paris, like Beckett or Jonathan Littell, just to be between two worlds? Or look for something more exotic and have ourse
