Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Mandarin? Some people share their opinions online.Ted(UK): The learning of any language can be valuable and rewarding, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK has a poor reputation for teaching foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?Mark(US): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesnt speak English. But it is far from being fluent. Learning additional languages is a great thing, which offers a different perspective on the world around us. Nowadays, its almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your native tongue. George (UK): No, unless theyre taught from a very early stage of childhood. Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to dominate the world, itll have to do so by speaking the worlds dominant language-English.Sam (UK): I dont think Chinese will become as widely spoken throughout the world as English. It is too difficult to learn as a second language. To learn Chinese you completely have to devote yourself to learning how to write and read it. If you have to learn it besides other subjects you cant be good at it. But Chinese will become more popular, and that is a good thing.21What is probably Marks main motivation（动机） for learning Chinese?A. Further education.B. Effective communicationC. His frequent travel D. The official policy22What does Sam think of learning Chinese? A. Its necessary.B.Its of little use. C. It takes too much time.D.Its not popular.23What seems to be the major problem when foreigners try to learn Chinese? A. Its difficulty as a languageB. Misunderstanding about China C. The great popularity of EnglishD. A lack of learning resources.BReserve seats on any 2017 Rick Steves tour today, and youll save $ 100 per person!

I like that now I can throw a football further than when I didnt have hands,” he said. The nations youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how to use his new hands. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after suffering from a serious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throwing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team leader of Zions operation, said Zion was faced with the operation much braver than many adults. “Ive never seen Zion cry,” Levin said. “Hes just an amazing boy. He has such courage and determination and gives us all inspiration.” Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said, “Its been a long journey but now I feel like I am living in my dream. Its his dream, and its mine, too. Im just living through him, and Im just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do.” However，Zion told reporters his mom wouldnt let him try out for football. His mom said its too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids, not professionals, and she told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter her argument. “My next goal: convince Mom to let me play football,” he said.27. What is Zions attitude towards his transplanted hands? A. He likes them a lot B. He tries to ignore them C. He accepts them unwillingly D. He has mixed feelings about them.28. What did Dr. Scott Levin think of Zion? A. He was unusually quiet. B. He was well worth praising. C. He was cleverer than expected. D. He was a talented football player.29. Which of the following words can best describe Pattie Ray? A. Sensitive and strict. B. Devoted and supportive C. Optimistic and active D. Open-minded and outgoing.30. What does the underlined word “counter” in the last paragraph mean? A. Accept B. Prove C. Be against D. CommentD What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job? Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off. But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education? 76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy. Even if you dont have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. Its a valuable skill. But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success. So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.31. Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlined part?A. Practice makes perfectB. Nothing is impossibleC. Hope for the bestD. No pains, no gains32. According to the government survey，the most important factor to help people move up the ladder is _. A. hard workB. educationC. social relationshipD. social activity33.
