“English is such a difficult language!” How many of you say so? English  speakers also say similar sentences. But what they say is: Chinese is so  difficult!

The US Department of State recently looked at many different foreign  languages. It found that it’s easy for English speakers to learn languages such  as Spanish, French and Italian. About 600 class hours will be enough if you want  to speak and read them well. It’s because such languages are similar to  English.

The most difficult languages, however, need around 2,200 class hours, said  the report. Chinese, Korean, Arabic ( 阿拉伯语 ) and Japanese are most difficult  languages.

Each of the four “hard” languages is difficult for its own reasons. Arabic  is difficult to read for an English speaker. Chinese and Japanese learners need  to remember over 1,000 character s. Also, Chinese words have tones ( 音调 ). A  word’s meaning changes when you change the tone. That makes many foreign  learners scared.

( ) 36. What is the difficult foreign language for English speakers?

A. English B. Japanese C. Spanish D. Chinese

( ) 37. Why is French easy for English speakers to learn?

A. Because it’s the same as English.

B. Because it’s similar to English.

C. Because France is close to England.

D. Because English speakers love French.

( ) 38. How many class hours do English speakers need to learn Chinese?

A. About 2,200 class hours.

B. About 600 class hours.

C. About 1,000 class hours.

D. About 1,500 class hours.

( ) 39. What does the underlined word “character” mean in the passage?

A. 性格 B. 角色 C. 特点 D. 字

( ) 40. Which of the following statements is false?

A. It’s easy for English speakers to learn languages such as Spanish,  French and Japanese.

B. Korean is one of the most difficult languages.

Mother Teresa was born in 1910. She spent most of her life helping others.  In 1928, she decided to be a nun ( 修女 ). Soon she arrived in India. At first,  she worked in a school in Calcutta. Most of the students came from the rich  family, and Mother Teresa’s life was easy and relaxing.

20 years later, she left the school and started to help poor people. First,  she opened a school that was free. Some of her old students came to help her at  her new school. In 1950, she started the Missionaries of Charity with some other  nuns. In 1952, she opened the first Home for the dying people. Some people  didn’t like it because they were afraid of having dying people in their  neighborhood. But slowly people change their minds. They began to see all the  good that Mother Teresa and her nuns were doing. Later, Mother Teresa became  famous, and received a lot of money from people who wanted to help with her  work. In 1979, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Now, more people are doing volunteer work all over the world. There are  homes for the dying in many different countries. Mother Teresa died when she was  87 years old, but people still remember her for what she did for the poor.
