Chinese A-level has overtaken German for the first time, as it becomes the UK’s third most popular language.

This year 3,334 students took Chinese A-level, compared to 3,058 taking German. While entries(参加者) for Chinese have increased by 8.6 percent since last year, while German entries have declined by 16.5 percent.

Derek Richardson, the senior responsible officer at Pearson, said Chinese has changed the situation of the drop in popularity of modern languages.

“In languages we are seeing a drop in entries for the main modern languages; French, German and Spanish, he said. “But what we are also seeing is an increase in entries across some of the other languages that people study. What this means is that Chinese is now more popular than German. So maybe young people are beginning to think about what languages will be useful to them in the future.”

In the 1960s, 70s and even the 80s, Germany was the economic(经济的) powerhouse of Europe. Pupils were strongly encouraged to study German because of the importance of the German economy. Now China has become well known in the last 25 years at the fastest growing economy in the world.

French remains the most popular modern language A-level followed by Spanish, but both have seen a drop in entries compared to last year by right and four percent Russian has also increased in popularity since last year by 3.4 percent, from 1,122 to 1,160.

A.增加 B.改变 C.下降

C.Chinese → German → French → Russian → Spanish

B.The UK has offered more subjects to foreign students.

Chinese A-level has overtaken German for the first time, as it becomes the UK's third most popular language.

This year 3,334 students took Chinese A-level, compared to 3,058 taking German. While entries（报名者）for Chinese have increased by 8.6 percent since last year, the number of German entries has dropped by 16.5 percent. French remains the most popular modern language followed by Spanish（西班牙语），but both have seen a fall in entries compared to last year by eight and four percent separately.

Barnaby Lenon, expert of the independent Schools Council (ISC), said that the teachers used to tell pupils "It will really help your future if you learn German", but this is no longer the case.

In the 1960s, the 1970s and even the 1990s, pupils were strongly encouraged to study German because of the importance of the German economy（经济）．Although it is still strong, that argument has disappeared gradually, and China has become known in the last 25 years for the fastest growing economy in the world.”

Mr. Lenon, a former headmaster at Harrow School, said the increase in Chinese A-level is partly driven by private schools. Many of them have put more money in the subject in recent years. "It is not the case that a large number of state schools are now teaching Chinese A-level. They are not," he said. Many of the entries will be Chinese native speakers, adding that independent schools have attracted（吸引）"large numbers" of Chinese pupils in recent years.

Mark Herbert, director of schools and skills at the British Council, welcomed the rise in Chinese A-level entries. Our research shows that Mandarin（汉语）will be one of the most important languages for the UK's future and position-but we mustn't give no attention to Spanish, French and German which will still be important post-Brexit（脱欧后）．

Nick Gibb, the school minister, said, "It has never been more important for young people to learn a foreign language than now."

1.The underlined word overtake in Paragraph 1 means _________．

A.catch up and begin to do better than B.be strongly against

2.Which language has the second largest number of entries in the UK this year?

A.the late ninetieth century B.the early twentieth century

C.the late twentieth century D.the early twenty-first century

4.According to Mr. Lenon, the rise in Chinese A-level is, in some ways, caused by _________．

A.private schools B.state schools C.Chinese schools D.German schools

5.What can we learn from Mark Herbert's speech in Paragraph 6?

A.He is against learning Chinese.

Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists. The number of travelers to Tibet has grown by 10% every year for a few years. Since July 1,2006, when the first train ran 1956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.

The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the Potala Palace. Passengers can also enjoy many activities during the journey, like Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.

On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried chicken and green vegetables for lunch and dinner. Unlike most Chinese trains which have open – hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can collect the waste. There is also a special rubbish system (系统) in the train that keeps the environment clean. All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight. TV and electrical sockets (插座) for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train.

Because there isn’t much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks (氧气罩) for those who need them. It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous “roof of the world”. There are also doctors on the train to make sure that all of the travelers are safe.

When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice, I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems. After that, I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. I did not feel stressed out at all. At last, I finished my homework by myself for the first time.
