24、US President Donald Trump showed the video of his 5-year-old granddaughter, Arabella, singing and reciting poems in Chinese to President Xi Jinping when he paid his first visit to China. It became a hot topic.

What the video didnH show is the growing movement by many American families to have their children study Chinese at a young age.

“ It was a surprise for everyone to see the little girl speak Chinese excellently，and it’s such a wonderful honor to their parents,” said Corman, founder and president of a private language school in Manhattan where Ivanka Trump’s three children studied Chinese.

She said the school has seen a major increase in American families having their children learn Chinese, and now there are more than 100 at the school.

“It’s a huge investment (投资）in their children’s future, not only because of China’s large market, but Chinese is an attractive language — children love to leam Chinese because it’s such a tonal language (声调语言)，and it is the language with the most native speakers in the world，’’ Corman said.

She said the families learning Chinese at the school are from all over the world, and they are there for different reasons. There are families where one or both parents are from China, who want their children to keep their traditional culture, and there are American families who are interested in China and its culture.

“Americans have completely changed their plans about learning foreign languages, and we even have their children start learning foreign languages as young as four months,” added Corman.

Besides Ivanka Trump, many wealthy parents are also pushing their young children to learn Chinese, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.

All about Electric Cars

Electric vehicles(电动车辆) have been around for more than a hundred years. But they have really been liked by a large number of people over the last ten years. More than three million all-electric cars trucks and vans are now on the road worldwide.

Helping the Environment

Most cars run on gasoline(汽油). Burning gasoline and other fossil fuels(矿物燃料) produces greenhouse gases. Electric vehicles don’t burn gasoline. Instead, strong batteries run their electric engines. So, electric vehicles don’t directly produce greenhouse gases.

Poop Power!

Electric vehicles are better for the environment. But they are not perfect. Their batteries often use electricity(电) that was made by burning fossil fuels. But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on gasoline. Plus, some of the electricity comes from “greener” sources, such as solar and wind power. And some may soon come from a new source — cow poop(牛粪)! An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm. They plan to make electricity using a greenhouse gas from cow poop.

Always Improving

One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range. This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge(充电). But now their range is improving. Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as far as older ones did. Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries. But the number of charging stations is going up as well. China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago. In Sweden, engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along.

【1】When did electric vehicles come into use?

A.10 years ago. B.A hundred years ago. C.3 years ago. D.We don’t know.

【2】Which of the following truly describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1?

A.Useless. B.Popular. C.Cheap. D.Perfect.

【3】What does the picture above show?

A.Parts of an electric car. B.Ways of driving a car.

C.Wheels on an electric car. D.Batteries in an electric car.

【4】How does the electric car company plan to make electricity according to Paragraph 3?

A.By burning gasoline. B.By burning fossil fuels.

C.By using a gas coming from cow poop. D.By using solar and wind power.

【5】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.Reasons for buying new electric cars. B.Importance of electric cars in our life.

C.Ways to produce more electric vehicles. D.Problems and improvements of electric vehicles.
