I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe wayit can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Languageis the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving morethought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to peopleas “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I canthink of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to befixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” forexample. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoplesperceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” Englishlimited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her Englishreflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed themimperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the factthat people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, didnot give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did nothear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to writestories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack ofa better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of herChinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, butneither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests cannever show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of herthoughts.36. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _.A. she uses English in foreign tradeB. she is fascinated by languagesC. she works as a translatorD. she is a writer by profession37.

Americans do not understand broken English.B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes.C. The author mother had positive influence on her.D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.39. The author gradually realizes her mothers English is _.A. well structuredB. in the old styleC. easy to translateD. rich in meaning40.

Itreceived a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that thetickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely tomusicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached. 13.6 million in 2020;2020,up 10 percent on 2020;2020, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2020;2020 toalmost 470 million.One theatre source criticised the Governments priorities(优先考虑的事) in funding freetickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I dont know why theGovernments wasting money on this.

Inreturn, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds,first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an excitingexperience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on itbecause they fear its not for them. Its time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not gettingenthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more youngpeople want to go in the first place.
