With the Chinese language growing in popularity, the UK government plans to invest 10 million pounds to help more kids learn Chinese. Do you think it is necessary for UK pupils to learn Chinese?

Seneca (Canada) I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college and get good marks. I studied Chinese for about 4 months before moving to China. Any language, if you don’t use it, it’s easy to lose. I’ve forgotten the French I learnt except for a few phrases. I speak Chinese every day. My writing, reading and listening are quite good, but far from being fluent. I think nowadays, it’s almost necessary to learn Chinese.

Tony (the UK) Learning any language can be valuable, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn, and the UK is not good for teaching foreign languages. But, China is a big and developing market for the UK business people. For them, Chinese is worth learning.

Bill (the USA) I don’t think Chinese will become as widely spoken all over the world as English is. To learn Chinese, you have to devote yourself to learning how to write and read it. It’s too difficult to learn. But in the future Chinese will become more popular, and that is a good thing.

1.Where does Tony come from?

A.China B.Canada C.The USA D.The UK

2.Seneca learnt German for____________.

A.2years B.4months C.4years D.6years

3.The underlined word “fluent” means____________ in Chinese.

A.糟糕的 B.流利的 C.完美的 D.成熟的

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.How to learn Chinese well B.Chinese will be the first language in the world

C.Do you like Chinese? D.Is it necessary to learn Chinese?

On a freezing January morning, Myron opened the library in Iowa. She heard a cat cry and finally found a yellow kitten in a pile of books.

“His little feet were frozen,” recalls Myron. “We gave him a bath to warm him up and he purred the whole time so that we know he liked us very much.” That was 1988 and it was a story for Dewey, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever since. “His story has a life of its own, we have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Dewey. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him. ”Shortly after the kitten’s rescue, a photo of the library’s “new employee” appeared in local newspapers. Local people were invited to vote for the name of the kitten. “We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasn’t even a prize,” Myron says with a laugh.

Dewey grew from a popular local “l(fā)ibrary employee” to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 125 libraries across America. Most live and “work” comfortable, small town libraries where they don’t get lost in the books. Library cats used to make a living by catching rats, but library cats have more duties: to a make the library a pleasant place.

“Library cats just create a nice, warm atmosphere（氣氛）, ”says Gary Roma, producer of Puss in Books, the film about library cats. “The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe can’t have pets in their apartments, ”says Roma, “Books, libraries, and cats just go together.”

A.spring B.summer C.autumn D.winter

2.The underlined word “purred”in the second paragraph means “___________”.

A.felt angry B.felt happy C.felt hungry D.felt sleepy

3.A contest was held after the kitten’s rescue to ___________ the cat.

A.win B.name C.film D.feed

4.Library cats can do many things, including ___________.

A.acting for a film B.catching rats

C.making people pleased D.All of the above

5.Puss in Books was ___________.

A.a book about cats B.a film about Dewey

C.a film about library cats D.a film about popular libraries

6.From the passage we can infer（推斷）that ___________.

A.library cats only attract children and old people

B.Dewey is one of the cats who live among books.

C.library cats are not as popular as they used to be

D.every library in America has at least one cat
