Are you a little shy when it comes to raising your hand in class? If so, that's totally normal. We've been there. With all attention on you, it can be so scary to speak up.
However, if you can break through your fear, we promise you can benefit （受益）a lot. According to a government study, some students are falling behind because they're too shy to put their hands up when a teacher asks a question. So try to raise your hand!
To start with, you'll realize the power of being wrong. Nobody is right all the time. Your teacher will be happy to see your participation and won't punish you for being wrong. He or she will explain why you're wrong. You'll learn something new. Chances are, other students think the same thing as you, but don't speak up. Not only do you help yourself, but you help your shy classmates, too.
Besides, your teacher will know you're interested in learning. Participating in class shows that you are not falling asleep behind your textbook. This is beneficial to you and your teacher. Your teacher will appreciate your interaction (互动) during the lesson and will remember your enthusiasm（热情）The next time you're one point away from an A+.
What's more, you'll have fun discussing with your classmates. When you and other classmates are raising hands to answer questions, it makes the class more interesting and allows you to actively engage with the lesson. Your teacher doesn't have to stand in the front of the room talking nonstop for a long time. Class time will fly by and your mind won't be wandering to the clock every 5 minutes.
Most importantly, you'll know that you've actually learned the material. One of the best ways to prove that you actually know something is by talking about it. Speaking up in class shows that you are trying to understand or have understood what you've been taught.
Don't be shy or afraid to raise your hand in class. Nobody is judging you. Seriously. It'll finally pay off?

Answer the questions.
Years ago, a walk around Beijing’s hutong would mean hearing chatting locals adding “-er” to the end of syllables.
However, this feature can hardly be heard among today’s Beijing dwellers(居民). A recent report by the Ministry of Education( 教 育 部 ) shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation.
With quick social development over recent years, an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China. However, people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other, making the existence of dialects in danger.
But rather than just letting the problem be, efforts are being made to save these local dialects because of the culture they carry. For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns, dialect is an important reminder of who they are and where they come from. From dialects, we can also know the history and local culture behind them.
To save these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission(国家语言文字工作委员会) has set up databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects, while many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang province have built museums. The Beijing municipal education authorities(北京市 教育部门) also plans to make the Beijing dialect part of its school-based curriculum.
And it’s not just the government that is making an effort to keep the country’s dialects – an increasing number of individuals are joining in the effort, too. Wang Han, a well-known host of Hunan TV, has invested several million yuan into the research and protection of Hunan dialects.
But all these efforts are still not enough to keep dialects from fading away. What we’re doing now is mostly rescue works. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect”(名人效应) to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.
1.We can’t often hear chatting locals adding “-er” to the end of syllables among today’s Beijing dwellers, can we?
2.What endangers the existence of dialects?
3.Why do we try to save dialects?
4.Who is making efforts to protect dialects?
5.How can we keep dialects alive in a more effective way?

6.Are you for or against the government’s efforts to save dialects? Can you think of any other way to help attract the young to use dialects?
Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20thcentury. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.
Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success.This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.
