    Jessica Bucknam shouts "tiao!"( tee-ow), and her fourth - grade students jump. "Dun!"( doo- wen) she commands (指令), and they do. They laugh as the commands keep coming in Chinese. Most of the kids have studied Chinese since they were in nursery school.

They are part of a Chinese一immersion program at Woodstock Primary School in Portland, Oregon. Bucknam,who is from China, introduces her students to about 150 new Chinese characters each year. Students read stories, sing songs, and learn math and science, all in Chinese. Half of the 340 students at the K- 5 school join in the program. They can continue studying Chinese in middle and high school. The goal: to speak like natives.

    At present, about 24, 000 American students are learning Chinese. Most are in high school. But the number of younger students is growing in response (回应) to China's rise as a global superpower.

    The United States government is helping to pay for language instruction. Recently, it gave Oregon schools $ 700, 000 for classes like Bucknam's. The Senate (参议院) is considering giving$ 1.3 billion for Chinese classes in public schools.

    "China has become a strong partner of the United States," says Mary Patterson,Woodstock's principal. "Children who learn Chinese at a young age will have more opportunities for jobs in the future."

    Isabel Weiss, aged nine, isn't thinking about the future. She thinks learning Chinese is fun. "When you hear people speaking in Chinese, you know what they're saying," she says." And they don't know that you know.

 阅读下列短文,从各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。

 Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan- style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you' re not in China- you' re in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities.

 Chinese products have been going all over the world. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes." One example is the meat." said Yin Hang,a Chinese student who is studying in Australia." We like to eat meat with the bone(骨头) in, but people here don't. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish."

 Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US- owned drones(无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They' re not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.

 In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands." Made in China" becomes cool." They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don't have." an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.

 As it is said, Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds to meet the needs of modern life.
