Because of Chinas fast development, Chinese has become more useful, and more and more Americans begin to learn it, said Scott McGinnis, a Washington language expert (专家). For example, in 1999, only three schools in Chicago had Chinese lessons. This year more than 30 schools there have Chinese during school days. Last year China gave them 3,000 textbooks because they had done a good job. Although Chinese is becoming more and more popular, it is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Usually, an English speaker takes about 1,320 hours to become good at Chinese. He needs only 480 hours for French, Spanish or Italian.（ ）52.

Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play music loudly as they drive on the street .Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. Most of the radio programs are music. Popular music singers make much money. They make CDs or tapes which radio stations in many places broadcast. There are other kinds of music that are popular among Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.

I dont, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So Im not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually dont need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?A lot of students say, “Things like exams are so difficult!” “Ive gotten a lot to learn. I forget things so easily!” This is not helpful or useful. Dont do it as it wont make you feel good. Good students dont wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So dont leave it till then.Too many students just try to remember what they have been taught This is not enough.It is important to understand things well because you can use them but not just repeat(重复) them. Ask yourself, “Do I really understand this?” And if the answer is “no”, ask your classmates, teachers or parents for help. If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what youre studying, then, when it is over, youll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”66.
