Four Cool Languages

Chinese

Around 1.4 billion people speak Chinese. Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the

tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to

have developed starting around 2000 B. C.

Arabic

Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like

artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many

other languages.

English

Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of

other countries.

English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native

language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as

a first language.

Italian

Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of

Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian.

Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings

of musical terms in greater depth.

1. What is a feature of Arabic?

A. It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B. It helps artists with their artworks.

C. It is written from right to left. D. It is closely related to music.

2. Which language is the most widely used as a second language in the world?

A. Arabic. B. English. C. Chinese. D. Italian.

3. What’s the number of people who speak Italian?

A. Nearly 68 million. B. Around 370 million.

C. Over 379 million. D. Around 1.4 billion.

Valentina is 9 years old living in Plano, Texas with her parents. She loves Beatrice, an American Girl doll ( 洋

娃娃) very much. But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy

and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend,

Beatrice.

“Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she

was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.”

When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with

brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called

the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it.

The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot

James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano.

James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate ( 定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on

a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia.

James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to

locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he

carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family

to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done.

4. What can we know about Valentina?

A. She was sad at losing Beatrice. B. She has brown hair.

C. She loved taking photos with Beatrice. D. She lives in Tokyo.

5. What did the Texas family do first when finding Beatrice lost?

A. They sent an email to the airline. B. They got in touch with James.

C. They searched their travel bags. D. They spread the message online.

6. How did Valentina get her doll back?

A. She found it at home. B. James sent it back in person.

C. She got it from the waiting room. D. Her parents discovered it on the plane.

7. How did the Texas family feel about James act?

A. Encouraged. B. Confident. C. Calm. D. Thankful.

Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the

parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for

now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores?

Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to

clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important

things you’ll ever do.

While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you

should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-

known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and

independent adults.

Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life? One

reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making

their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores

also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for

them and it encourages them to be good adults.

Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills

such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps

your children live independently.

8. Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1?

A. To list examples. B. To make a warning.

C. To lead in the topic. D. To provide background information.

What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study?

A. Chores. B. Less homework.
