Jan Tchamani, an English teacher in Birmingham, UK, suddenly developed a serious illness and had to quit her job. At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck (被困住) at home with only her computer to keep her company. After a while, she discovered that surfing the Internet could help her feel less lonely and bored. She could listen to music, watch films, play games, and explore the world. She also joined an online group where she could talk about her problems and get support and advice from others. She realised that one of the greatest benefits of the Internet was its ability to remove the distance that usually exists between people.

She was so inspired by the people she met online that she decided to start an IT club to teach older people how to use computers and the Internet. She and her friends now organise events and collect money to pay for private teachers. Many people have been helped by the club. A 59-year-old man learnt how to apply for work online and found a great job. Now that he works and can take care of himself, his daughter has time to study at university. A 61-year-old woman who was living alone has started a small online company together with two friends. She no longer feels lonely, and her company has become quite successful.

Jan has started taking online classes to learn more about how to use the Internet to make society better. She believes that it is highly important to bridge the digital gap and make sure that everyone has access to the Internet and knows how to use new technology. Her next goal is to start a charity website to raise money for children in poor countries.

Jan’s life has been greatly improved by the Internet. “When you go through hard times, you meet others who are facing similar challenges,” Jan says. “Thinking about other people’s situations inspired me to offer help.”

Mary-Jo Saunders goes to kindergarten every morning, just like many other five-year-olds in New York. Today, she is learning a poem. What is special is that it’s a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite it without an accent. Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too. “Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in her future jobs” says her mother Alison. “I think it’s good for her to stretch herself (端尽所能) by listening to and pronouncing new sounds, as well as learning to read and. write Chinese characters.”

More and more parents in the world are sending their children to Chinese classes. Keen for their sons and daughters to succeed in lift, they see being fluent in a second or third language as an advantage. Learning Chinese is becoming so popular that the language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries. Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China.

It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular. Learning Chinese may help people get more chances to work. China is already a global economic power, and its influence is growing. For example, there’s China’s Belt and Road Initiative (倡议), which encourages many countries along the Silk Road to work together more closely. It has created thousands of local jobs, many of which need people with a knowledge of Chinese. Another reason is that studying Chinese provides chances to explore wonderful Chinese history and culture. Adam Turner, a school head teacher in the UK, mentions this as one of the most attractive parts of the recently added Chinese course. “Students love the mystery (奥秘) of China,” he explains. “They want to know all about its traditions, dynasties and art forms. Learning Chinese helps them see life differently and increase their knowledge of the outside world.”

11．Why did the writer mention Mary-Jo Saunders’ story in paragraph 1?

A．To praise Mary-Jo Saunders’ hard work in learning Chinese.

B．To introduce a funny way of learning Chinese in New York.

C．To stress the great difficulty of learning Chinese for foreigners.

D．To show the growing interest in learning Chinese outside China.

12．Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “keen for” in paragraph 2?

A．Telling. B．Expecting.

C．Requesting. D．Advising.

13．How does the writer show people’s attitude towards learning Chinese outside China?

A．By listing numbers. B．By finding excuses.

C．By making comparisons. D．By offering suggestions.

14．What advantage can learning Chinese bring?

A．Traveling all over the world and having fun.

B．Doing business globally and making more money.

C．Getting a job and a deeper understanding of China.

D．Improving relationships with other countries.

15．What is the best title for this text?

A．Chinese Learning: Increasing Popularity.

B．Chinese Language: A Head Start in School.

C．Chinese Handwriting: Traditions and Art Forms.

D．Chinese Characters: Reading and Writing for Fun.
