11、 A Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese The fourth-graders at Chicagos McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, its becoming their third language. Theyve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten(幼儿园）, and its now
12、second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom. The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language.

13、seful languages like Chinese, and pressure from themas well as from business leaders, politicians（政治家）, and parentshas driven a quick growth in the number of programs. Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 st
14、udents in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Its true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. Advocates see knowledge of the Ch
15、inese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the worlds next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Ch
16、inese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to need to think about their careers The question is, when not whether, the schools are going to adjust（调整）.” In Chicago, the trend（趋势） extends beyond schools with high numbers of Asian students. “The
17、 fact that my students are 98% low income and 99% Latino(拉丁美洲人) and they are succeeding in this, tells me everyone should have a try at learning languages,” says Virginia Rivera, principal at McCormick. “We want to give our young people opportunities to advance and Chinese is a great opportunity to

21、C. McCormick Primary School. D. Globalization（全球化） and Chinese learning.B Now Hear This What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common.? Both men have hearing damage from exposure(暴露） to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. As a
22、 teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist（吉他手） for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the publics attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music. Temporary hearing loss can h
23、appen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert. What happens is
24、 that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but theyre not dead, says physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, its possible to recondition the cells somewhat. However, he adds, Eventually, over a long period of time, ha
25、ir cells are permanently damaged. And this is no small problem. What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart（表） below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Heres another measurement you
26、can use. If youre at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you re at risk for hearing loss. Thats when wearing protective devices（设备） such as earplugs becomes critical（重要）. The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume.?
27、 Most arent. Rock music is supposed to be loud, says drummer Andrew Sather. I wouldnt have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, Theres no cure for hearing
28、 loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done.
