The US teenager 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 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 posts 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 in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American stud ents an edge in the global economy. “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing,” said Marty Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We"re seeing it in all parts of the country. ”
Abbott estimates that as many as 100, 000 students are now studying Mandarin throughout the US, in public and private schools. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as a “critical needs” language and provides p rofessional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language competency for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott said.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes established in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in 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.
Thomas Cheatham decided to study Mandarin instead of Latin because he thought ________.
A、Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin
B、Mandarin might help him learn more about Chinese food
C、Mandarin could enable him to make more friends online
D、Mandarin could be advantageous in his future career
The underlined word “proficiency” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A、strong interest
B、great skill
C、lack of practice
D、a level of difficulty
Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?
A、Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B、The US government"s policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.
C、Many Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national security.
D、Those competent at Chinese will be the most competitive in the US in the future.
What is the main idea of the article?
A、The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B、The influence of China"s growing power on American education.
C、The benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.
D、How Confucius Institutes in the US help promote Mandarin.

第10题【阅读理解】

You carry a 1.3 kg mass of fatty material in your head that controls everything you will ever do. This fantastic control center lets you think, learn, create, and feel emotions. It also controls everything your body does. What is this amazing machine? It"s your brain — a structure so amazing that the famous scientist James Watson called it ＂the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe＂.
Imagine your kitten jumped onto the kitchen counter, and was about to step onto a hot stove. You would have only seconds to act. In situations like this, your brain reads the signals from your eyes and quickly calculates when, where and at what speed you need to run to save her. Then it tells your muscles to move. No computer can match your brain"s great ability to download, process, and react to the flood of information from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs.
If a bee lands on your foot, sensory neurons(神经元) in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses motor neurons to send a message back to your foot: Shake the bee off quickly! Motor neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour!
Your brain contains about 100 billion tiny cells: neurons — it would take you more than 3,000 years if you tried to count them all. Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see or move, tiny chemical and electrical signals are racing between these neurons along billions of tiny neuron pathways. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Countless messages fly around inside it every second, like a super-fast game of table tennis. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the entire world. And although a single neuron generates only a tiny amount of electricity, all your neurons together can generate enough electricity to power a light bulb.
By ＂the most complex thing＂, James Watson means __________.
A、a supercomputer
B、the universe
C、human brains
D、our emotions
Which of the following statements is true according to the 2^nd and 3^rd paragraph?
A、Brains can download more information than any computer.
B、The kitten plays an important role in testing human brain power.
C、Motor neurons in human brains serve to send countless messages.
D、Your brains can use neurons to send messages back faster than bees".
The author mentions ＂to power light bulbs＂(Para. 4) to show __________.
A、neurons can send lots of messages
B、how many active tiny cells brains contain
C、how much electricity brains can generate
D、there is countless information in the brain
What is the main idea of the passage?
A、Powerful brain is a wonderful machine.
B、Brains work well in controlling body movements.
C、Brain is the most complex structure in the universe.
D、Human brains are composed of numerous neurons.
