.Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in

Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class,he

quickly changed his mind.

"I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin," said Cheatham, who is now in his

second year of studying the language.

He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media post from

his Chinese- speaking friends. While it's a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who

plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. "Chinese is a good

language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power," he said.

Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide

will give American students an edge in the global economy.

"People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is

growing fast," said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign

Languages. "We're seeing it in all parts of the country."

Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and

private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定)Mandarin as

an " important need" language and provides professional development programs for teachers. "Our

government wants to increase our language ability for economic competitiveness," Abbott added.

At the same time,the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and

culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example,the Confucius Institute at

the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors

Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools^ where tens of thousands of students

are learning Mandarin.

4Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin?

A.Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.

B.Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.

C.Mandarin might help him learn more about China.

D.Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.

5.The underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably means “________".

A.a slight advantage B.the outside limit

C.a sharp tone of voice D.an exciting quality

6.Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?

A.Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.

B.Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.

C.The US government's policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.

D.Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national security.

7.What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?

A.The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.

.People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the-counter(非处

方的) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗) like herbal tea or

chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: Nothing really cures it.

So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor,

professor al the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week,

improving a little each clay after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than

time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.

It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless

against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To

understand it,you first need to know how antiviral(抗病毒的) drugs work. They attack the virus by

attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that,the drug must fit and lock

into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus
