While English is getting more important in our schools, Chinese has become popular among foreign kids. But Chinese can be more difficult to learn. At least 16-year-old Piao Chenglong thinks so. “English is easier for me. Chinese characters (汉字) have too many strokes (笔画),” said Piao. “But I want to learn it.

In Korea, there are more than 300, 000 Chinese learners like Piao. Some Korean students begin to learn to write the language on their first day at school. To help students learn Chinese, Korea holds speaking competitions for high school students every year.

People want to learn Chinese because China is becoming such an important country. Foreign countries want to understand China better to help them with business.

Can you survive an unannounced storm? Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cellphones, there are still some examples when the violent weather takes us by surprise.
While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning, sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a day’s time, endangering everyone and everything in their path.
There have been oil workers trapped off the coast when sudden storms appeared. Field archaeologists have been stuck in seaside areas without storm warnings. A few decades ago, a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise. There’ve been a few cases where travelers were trapped on an island or in a seaside area and unable to escape in time.
Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us - but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without a public shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.
But there are a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some unexpected emergencies. Being prepared for the unexpected may be your best and only defense. If you’re headed outdoors for a few days or weeks, you should always carry a flashlight (手电筒) with extra batteries, a GPS device (装置), and a basic medical box. If you’re traveling in your car, remember you may suffer from high winds. You’d better not stay inside to avoid being blown away along with your car. Keeping your head and your courage up is crucial to survival in any type of danger. Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for the worst. 12．According to the text, most Atlantic hurricanes ________.
A．form in the Caribbean Sea B．come from Gulf of Mexico
C．develop off the coast of Africa D．are from the Pacific Ocean
13．What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The bad situations of oil workers.B．People trapped by sudden storms.
C．The danger of traveling on an island.D．The Texas National Guard group. 14．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To give some advice.B．To encourage traveling.
C．To underline the danger of hurricanes.D．To give some warnings.
15．In which part of a website would you most probably find the text?
A．Food.B．Sports.C．Life.D．Culture.
二、七选五
Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not. 16
Wear protective equipment.
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets (头盔) are the most common protective equipment. They protect your head while you’re playing football, baseball, softball, skateboarding, and so on.
Warm up.
17 Doing some stretches (伸展) can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up and practicing a sport help keep you safe, too.
Know the rules of the games
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them--at least most of the time. 18 When players know the rules of the game, fewer injuries happen. For example, you know that in soccer you can’t come from behind, crash into a player’s legs, and steal the ball. It’s legal and safer to go after the ball rather than the player.
19 .
This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may want to get back in the games, even after an injury. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea. 20
Now you know how to prevent sports injuries. If you follow these rules, you can stay safer while you are playing sports.
A．It’s the same way with sports.
B．Don’t play when you’re injured.
C．Don’t do too much exercise.
D．It can lead to an even worse injury.
E．You and the other players know what to expect
F．It’s not a good idea to just go to the field and start playing.
G．Take these steps to prevent injuries so you can stay in the game.
