bid to keep competitive. “interest in learning chinese among american youth and their parents has grown quickly in the past five years,” said vivien stewart, vice president at the asia society. chinas quick rise to near-superpower and its effects politically, economically and culturally are driving the americans interest to learn the language, experts say. from kindergartens to high schools, studies by the asia society show, there is a “rapid rise” in interest among pupils to study the chinese language.“the chinese rich cultural traditions and blossoming economy mean that it is now important for all of our students to be better prepared,” said michael levine, asia societys executive director of education. a survey found that 2,400 high schools - an unbelievably high number - would be interested in offering the advanced placement (ap) courses in chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2006. china, the worlds most populous nation, is important to the united states because it is a leading trader, consumer(消费者) and investor. its political influence is also rising across the world. it has replaced the united states as the worlds largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, after the united states, in the next two to three decades.even though the us state department has described the chinese language “critical” to national prosperity and security, “the current facilities to support recruitment(招募) of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programs is terribly not enough,” an asia society study says. the society has set an aim of having at least five percent of american high school students learning chinese by 2015.“millions of chinese are learning english, but only 24,000 americans are learning chinese,” said andrew corcoran of the san francisco-based chinese american international school. the most popular languages after english in us schools at present are spanish and french while japanese is the most popular asian language.56the underlined word blossoming (para. 2) means _.aweak bold cdeveloping ddeveloped57why do more and more americans begin to learn the chinese language?ato be a bridge between the two big countries.bto keep competitive.cbecause they are always interested in it.dto gain advantage in trade.58what problems is the us faced with when it comes to learning chinese?aa lack in current facilities to support recruitment of students and teachers and programs.bnot many people want to learn foreign languages.cthe language is rather difficult compared with english.dtoo many chinese are learning english.59what is the best title for this passage?aforeign language learningbdanger from chinacthe chinese language gets more popularddifficulties in learning the chinese language.60which of the following is true according to the passage?athe chinese language is the most popular asian language in us schools.bthe us government is worried because more and more americans learn the chinese language.cchina is the second largest economy in the world.dchina is the largest consumer in the world. bwhat do you see from a handful of seeds? some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. but one group of shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.eight students from no 2 secondary school attached to east china normal university started a virtual company selling different seeds and seed products. they successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week ago. the company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.we donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of anhui province. its great to realize our ideal of spreading love and culture with seeds after many tests and lots of hard work, said senior 2 shi chen, ceo of the company.just like any other company, shis didnt develop smoothly. shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. they bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. the creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.with little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations (pr), sales and marketing. they persuaded a joint sino-french company near their school to give them training in business management. they also asked some local businessmen to act as their consultants.they helped us overcome our shyness. we also learned quite a lot of business theory. i found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job, said senior 1 qian yifei.the 16-year-old was elected as pr manager thanks to her talent for speaking. she is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.as the head of the company, ceo shi has a lot more to think about. first of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies. so she established a system to evaluate every ones performance, in terms of punctuality, efficiency,profits knowledge and so on. it makes the company more formal, she said.61. at a campus auction a week ago, they _ .a. sold 28 green plants with different flowers. b. sold 28 seeds pasted with different pictures.c. sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds. d. sold 28 flowers pasted with different pictures.62. what is the purpose of opening the company?a. to earn money for their education fees. b. to spread love and culture with seeds.c. to see whether they can open a company. d. to collect money to open a hope school.63. what does the word it (in the last paragraph) refer to?a. selling seeds. b. to have a person as ceo.c. every colleagues performance. d. to make her colleagues work efficiently.64. according to qian yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations? a. communication skills and teamwork. b. creative and critical thinking.c. educational background. d. business theories.65. what can we learn from the passage?a. the company is owned by 8 students. b. the company is over-night successful. c. the company gets a

problem. i told him that i couldnt do it. he asked, “why not?” i paused, and then i said, “because im educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).” he came from behind his desk and looked at me. “dont ever say that again. someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said. it was a very special moment for me. doctors said that i was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and i was put back into the fourth grade. when i was in the eighth grade, i failed again. but mr washington changed my life. this person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. he often said, “you have greatness within you.” one day, i caught up with him in the parking place and said, “mr washington, is there greatness within me, sir?” he said, “yes, mr brown.” “but what about the fact that i failed english, math, and history? what about that, sir? im slower than most kids.” “it doesnt matter. it just means that you have to work harder. your grades dont determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.” “i want to buy my mother a house.” “it is possible, mr brown. you can do that.” and he turned to walk away. “mr washington?” “what do you want now?” “uh, im the one, sir. one day youre going to hear my name. im the one, sir.” school was a real struggle for me. mr washington put many demands on me. he made me believe that i could do it. at the end of that year, i was on the honor roll for the first time in my life. years later, i produced five programs on public television. when one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, i had some friends call him. i was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. he said, “may i speak to mr brown, please?” “oh, mr washington, is that you?” “yes, its me. you were the one, werent you?” “yes, sir, i was.”66. what does mr washington mean by saying “someones opinion of you does
