A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.

Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.

“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.

“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua?ble lesson today. No matter (無論) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (價值). It was still worth ¥ l00!”

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crum?pled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.

You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!

When 4-year-old British Prince George started his first day of school in September, 2017, Chinese language was on his course.

And he wasn't alone According to a report in September, about 51 percent of UK parents want their children to learn Chinese, as it's believed to be one of the most useful languages to know.

In fact, the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Chinese Excellence Program in September last year. Its goal is to make at least 5, 000 British state middle school students speak Chinese well by 2020.

The language has become the second most spoken foreign language in the US, after only Spanish (西班牙語), with over2. 1 million speakers, according to a survey.

Many US famous people such as Facebook founder(臉書創(chuàng)始人) Mark Zuckerberg and Obama's daughter, Malia Obama, study Chinese as a second language.

So far, 67 countries and regions (地區(qū))have included Chinese in their national course, so why are so many countries crazy about learning Chinese?

One reason could be that as China continues to develop quickly, Chinese is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people's personal and professional growth. “I think everyone believes that China will be the next great superpower(超級大國)... even if it' s not a superpower like America. It still has an important influence in the future,” said Aisling McCaffrey from Canada, who studied at the Renmin University of China, “Learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth.”

This opinion was shared by former(前任的) British Prime Minister David Cameron, who urged(呼吁) British students to learn Chinese to “seal(抓住)tomorrows business deals” in 2013.

1.Why do UK parents want their children to learn Chinese?

A.Chinese is on the course.

B.Princess George starts to learn Chinese.

C.The UK government sets up the program.

D.Chinese is one of the most useful languages.

2.What does the underlined word “l(fā)aunch” mean in Chinese?

A.成立 B.制造 C.設(shè)置 D.興建

3._______ asked British students to learn Chinese.

A.Malia Obama B.David Cameron C.Prince George D.Mark Zuckerberg

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Aisling McCaffery is from Canada.

B.Learning Chinese is the best way to be famous.

C.There are more than 2.1 million Chinese speakers in the US.

D.67 countries and regions have included Chinese in their national course.

5.What's the best title of the passage?

A.The ways to learn Chinese well

B.The increasing number in learning Chinese

C.Why learning Chinese has risen around the world

D.The relationship between language and development
