Unit 2 Growing pains 一、阅读理解My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids triathlon(三项全能).On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my sons birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment shed need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasnt because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadnt seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.1.Kelly is nervous when _.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that_.A. the race began in the early morningB.

Eighty-four per cent of US people are monolingual(speakers of only one language). This leaves a small number who 3 to speak two or more languages.No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything _4 English is a marker of difference here. Thats why fourteen-year-old Umar is 5 when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umars mother points out: “In U.S.A, its not 6 for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in U.S.A, it is thought that you are not helping them to 7 society.”But in fact, the general 8 among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilinguals people who speak _9 languages have a clear learning advantage 10 their monolingual schoolmates. This 11 on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used, 12 they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language.Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says: “A lot of studies have 13 that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more 14 , but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects.”The view is that there is a(n) 15 in general intelligence from the effort of learning another language. A few other 16 agree that “Bilinguals tend to use language better as a whole. They also 17 greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily”.With all of the benefits, why do we not show more 18 for learning other languages? Parents and teachers 19 in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general 20 to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame.语篇解读:学习第二种语言会促进孩子们的智力发展并且让他们拥有更光明的职业前景。然而接受双语教育的孩子毕竟是少数。文章阐述了双语教育的益处以及遇到的困难及原因。1.
