• 2．    Before arriving in China，I had read lots of books about China.Therefore，when I arrived，I was excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country.It was so greatly different from the UK.The food，the landmarks，the big cities and everyday life—I couldn't wait to explore.
     However，learning Chinese hadn't even entered my mind，not because I was lazy，but because I had no confidence to learn the most difficult language in the world.Besides this，once I moved to China，I lived in Shanghai.It is an international city，with many people speaking English as a second language.So I thought English would be sufficient.
     But after a year in China I found many expats（僑民） spoke Chinese.Perhaps it was achievable after all？I felt uncomfortable because so many Chinese people could speak English while I couldn't even speak the most basic Chinese.To face the challenge，I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn't start earlier.
     In the two years since starting to learn I have made great progress.Now，I am able to talk in Chinese on many topics.Learning to speak Chinese isn't as difficult as I once expected.When I speak to Chinese people in Chinese，they almost always understand me.The most challenging thing is listening since Chinese people talk at such a speed.I can't always understand what's been said，but my weekly online language exchanges help with this.Learning Chinese has taken a lot of hard work.But there is still a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency（流利）.Learning Chinese not only helps me in day-to-day life，but deepens my cultural understanding of such a great country.So，to all my non-Chinese friends I say this，don't be afraid，face the challenge and be confident.
  
  （1）What did the writer do after arriving in China？

  
  A．Read a lot of books about China.
  B．Couldn't wait to study Chinese.
  C．Tried to learn more about China.
  D．Missed his life in his home of UK.
  （2）What does the underlined word "sufficient" probably mean？

  
  A．Enough.
  B．Important.
  C．Necessary.
  D．Possible.
  （3）Why does the writer think listening is the most challenging？

  
  A．He has a hearing problem.
  B．Chinese people speak too fast.
  C．Chinese is the most difficult language.
  D．He doesn't know much about many topics.
  （4）Which is the main idea of the text？

  
  A．A new opinion in learning.
  B．Exploring the joy of learning Chinese.
  C．The writer's journey of learning Chinese.
  D．The value of learning a new language.

  時間慢了下來. The empty hours stretched out in front of me，and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything.It was scary at first.Then somehow I began to feel free.Most important of all，（4）
