I sat back and started to register the achievement: I was actually read
21、ing Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, Budui! It meant, literally, Not correct. You could also translate it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Clearly incorrect. There were many Chinese words that I didnt know, but I kne
22、w that one well. A voice in my head whined: All of the rest of them were right; isnt that worth(值得) something? But for Teacher Liao it didnt work like that. If one character was wrong it was simply budui. Whats this word? I asked, pointing at the character I had missed. Zhe the zhe in Zhejiang. Thir
23、d tone? Fourth tone. I breathed deeply and read again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying): How do you like me now?

29、 learning.D. Teacher Liao was not friendly with her students.DThe widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.

But many senior citizens, especially those living in the countryside or those whose grown-up children dont live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphon
34、es, either because of financial(财政的) problems or because they cannot learn new things beyond a certain point.
