It seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old.The most popular way to teach these young children another language is called immersion(沉浸式语言教学法).
Children in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom. The children play games, sing songs and talk to one another in the new language. Some experts(专家)say immersion programs are the most effective(有效的)way for young children to learn a language. But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age. Not many elementary schools continue to teach a foreign language. Only seven of the fifty states require(要求)schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve. Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language. Still, American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary schools. By then, students are about thirteen years old.
American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs. The government has increased support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind.
At the college, the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages and more languages are being studied now than in the past. Spanish is the most widely(广泛地)taught in American colleges and universities. French, German, Chinese and Italian are also popular.
21．The most popular way to teach the American children another language is called 　　　.
A．task B．speaking C．immersion D．listening
22．Where is Spanish the most widely taught
A．In American colleges and universities. B．In American secondary schools.

I have a friend named Gina. Today Gina was starting school in a new town. When she walked slowly to the school building, she had butterflies in her stomach. She was not sure if she would make new friends here.
At her old school, Gina had many good friends. They had known each other since their childhood. When Gina got braces (牙箍), her friends never made fun of her. But that was the past. The future was here—inside the new school.

“Gina,” the teacher advised, “play shortstop (游击手) today, OK ”
“Of course!” Gina said and then ran to her place between second and third base (垒).
She looked around and saw a tall boy standing at second base. Suddenly, the batter (击球员) hit the ball very hard. The ball went to Gina fast, and Gina caught it! As the runner ran to second base. Gina threw the ball to the tall boy. The runner was out!
“Good throw!” the tall boy said with a smile. His smile was metallic (金属般的) and shiny, just like Gina’s. She smiled back, allowing her braces to show. They both laughed, and Gina knew her future was going to be just fine.

It may take time for her to be able to forgive you, but that’s up to her. Then you might want to do something nice for her. Perhaps send her some flowers to show you’re truly sorry. Also, you should remember that old saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” And good luck! Carla

I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.
This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had a difficult time. She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.
Alice thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized (意识) that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.
The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.

Dear Anna,
How are you My name is Cindy. I’ve been looking forward to having a pen friend for a long time. I hope we can become good friends.
I got your name and e-mail from my English teacher, Ms. Sands. These days I’m thinking about what to write. At first, I wanted to tell you what it’s like to go to school here in Minnesota, but later I thought you could look up Minnesota on the Internet and read about it yourself. Then I had the idea to tell you about my family, but I realized that the story of my little brother losing a tooth or the time we got a new cat might be kind of boring. After that, I thought about asking you questions about what it’s like to live in Belgium, but I’m afraid you might think my questions are silly.
I think I can tell you a little about myself. In fact, you probably already learned one thing about me. I sometimes have a hard time making up my mind (想法)! I hope you can write back to me anyway.
Yours,
Cindy

Twice a month, Nona Avery sits down, picks up her pen and writes a letter to her best friend. The British woman has been doing it for 77 years. She has sent more than 1, 500 letters to her pen pal in America.
The hobby started in 1942. Nona, then 12, was reading a magazine. Some ads in the magazine were asking for pen pals. One of them caught Nona’s eye. It was from Alice Powers. She lived in America and was also 12. “I was very excited” Nona said. “I sat down immediately, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope—together with a picture of myself—and posted it.”
Nona spent every day waiting for the postman. Two weeks later—which felt like a lifetime—a reply dropped through the letterbox. “I was overjoyed, ” Nona said. “There was a letter and a picture of my new friend. She was on the other side of the world!”
Nona and Alice wanted to learn more about each other. They kept writing. The two found that they had a lot in common （共同点）. They liked the same books and the same films.
