As an exchange student, I have been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months. The parents are   36   in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5. In exchange for room and board, I teach their son   37  .

Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child. And though he has   38  plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know   39   he has the time to play. When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.

Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was   40   a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons. I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning English. Both his parents dream that he will have   41   jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses.

The boy seems to take no interest   42   learning English. He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate. He is,   43  , only 5. When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as   44   as he is.

In the evening, when his parents   45   him to speak with me in English, he gets   46  . He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally stops   47  , and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese,   48  . He speaks in his own language.

He   49   not be a very good student, but I’m not a great teacher. I just want to be his big brother   50   can speak in gibberish(胡言亂語) with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders.

閱讀下面的短文,并完成短文后的任務(wù)。

Draw a giraffe in your mind. How did you draw your giraffe? Does it have a long neck? Does it have long legs? Is it really tall? When people think of giraffes, they think of their long necks. A long neck and four long legs make the giraffe the tallest land animal on earth. A giraffe is 1.8m tall when it is born, and some giraffes get up to 6m tall when they are all grown up.

But did you know that giraffes also have long tongues? Have you seen the tongue of a giraffe before? A giraffe has a very long tongue which can hold and wrap (包) around objects. The tongue is designed for feeding, but it can be used in many different ways. For example, a giraffe can close its nose with its long tongue completely to keep out sand and dust. Also, a giraffe’s tongue is long enough to clean its owner’s ears as well!

The tongue is black in colour to protect it from getting sunburnt (曬傷). It is nearly 56cm long. Giraffe only eat plants, and a full grown giraffe can eat 33kg of leaves a day. When giraffes look for some tall trees to eat, they sometimes fight with elephants for food. Giraffes use their tongue to eat leaves from some tall trees. The giraffe’s tongue is a helpful tool for reaching leaves and breaking off branches.
