Ms．White was also very kind...yet，I heard the young man，“Thank goodness! I'm lucky to have car insurance．But，how will I go to the wake (葬礼前的守夜)？”He was on their way to attend his newly dead grandmother's wake and now he also had no car! “I am so sorry．How did I do this？”I said in great regret．

If you are fond of learning languages，you must start learning Chinese．English is the most widely spoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields．But it is expected that Chinese，which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations (UN)，will be the most important language in the coming years．What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it
课时分层作业（十五）
My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process，I deepened my knowledge of the languages and literature．However，I did not feel self-sufficient from this knowledge．I gained a lot of information about the Western world．But my thinking was always about Asian civilizations．I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because “without learning Chinese，we see with one eye”．
My contact with many international organizations and government institutions made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time．After visiting the world's most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London，I discovered that Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places．In the subway in Paris，you will hear instructions in French，English and Chinese．In London，for example，the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools．
China is an important political and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before．The world is watching China with great surprise，and this peaceful Chinese rise makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture．
To be a global citizen these days，I would advise you to learn Chinese．It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilization．

Robots in space will be extracting gold from asteroids (小行星) within ten years if a new project backed by a Silicon Valley billionaire goes as planned．Peter Diamandis，the founder of Planetary Resources，said the company attempts to make the resources of space available to humanity．
The initial stage，to be achieved in the next 18 to 24 months，is to launch a series of private telescopes which will orbit Earth．These will be used to search for the right type of asteroids．The plan is to use commercially built robotic ships to extract rocket fuel and valuable minerals from the rocks that regularly pass by Earth．Diamandis predicts that they could have their version of a space-based petrol station up and running by 2025．
Several scientists not involved in the project argued that the project was daring，difficult and very pricey．They do not see how it could be cost-effective．But the founder of Planetary Resources has a track record of profiting from space exploration business．Diamandis was the first person to sell rides into space to tourists．“Before we started launching people into space as private citizens，people thought that was a ridiculous idea，”Diamandis said．“This is a long-term project．But
it's not a charity．We'll make money．”The idea that asteroids could be mined for resources has been around for years．There are probably 1，500 asteroids that pass near Earth that would be good initial targets．They are at least 50 meters wide，and Diamandis figures ten percent of them have water and other valuable minerals．
Richard Binzel，Professor of Planetary Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，says，“The idea might be many decades ahead of its time．But you have to start somewhere as it might offer a new perspective of saving the earth from being over explored．”

√
7．What does Richard Binzel think of the project
A．It is risky． B．It is complex．
C．It is worthwhile． D．It is demanding．

Dear Daniel，
I received your request to recommend a Chinese song for the “Foreigners Singing Chinese Songs”talent show．After giving it some thought，I believe “Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin”would be a great choice．
Firstly，the song is a classic Mandarin song that is beloved by many Chinese people．It has a beautiful melody and heartfelt lyrics that express deep emotions．Secondly，this song is not too challenging for non-native Chinese speakers to pronounce．It has a slow tempo and clear pronunciation，making it easier for you to convey the emotions behind the lyrics．
I look forward to hearing about your experience in the competition．
Yours，
Li Hua

The initial stage,to be achieved in the next 18 to 24 months,is to launch a series of private telescopes which will orbit Earth．These will be used to search for the right type of asteroids．The plan is to use commercially built robotic ships to extract rocket fuel and valuable minerals from the rocks that regularly pass by Earth．Diamandis predicts that they could have their version of a space-based petrol station up and running by 2025．
Several scientists not involved in the project argued that the project was daring,difficult and very pricey．They do not see how it could be cost-effective．But the founder of Planetary Resources has a track record of profiting from space exploration business．Diamandis was the first person to sell rides into space to tourists．“Before we started launching people into space as private citizens,people thought that was a ridiculous idea，” Diamandis said．“This is a long-term project．But it's not a charity．We'll make money．” The idea that asteroids could be mined for resources has been around for years．There are probably 1，500 asteroids that pass near Earth that would be good initial targets．They are at least 50 meters wide,and Diamandis figures ten percent of them have water and other valuable minerals．
Richard Binzel,Professor of Planetary Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,says,“The idea might be many decades ahead of its time．But you have to start somewhere as it might offer a new perspective of saving the earth from being over explored．”
5．What is supposed to be the first step of the project

Ⅱ．[参考范文]
Dear Daniel，
I received your request to recommend a Chinese song for the “Foreigners Singing Chinese Songs” talent show．After giving it some thought，I believe “Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin” would be a great choice．
Firstly，the song is a classic Mandarin song that is beloved by many Chinese people．It has a beautiful melody and heartfelt lyrics that express deep emotions．Secondly，this song is not too challenging for non-native Chinese speakers to pronounce．It has a slow tempo and clear pronunciation，making it easier for you to convey the emotions behind the lyrics．
I look forward to hearing about your experience in the competition．
Yours，
Li Hua
