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.

“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.

All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone 1.. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain. Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of them disappears.

2.. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are “factories”. They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air. Plants feed all other living things.

Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. 3.. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.

What about our human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We watched a display show. It was exciting. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chain, 4.. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.

Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.

A. They burn forests and kill wild animals.

B. Food chains should not be broken up.

C. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten.

D. All life needs sunlight to live on.

E. Some animals feed directly on plants and others eat smaller animals.

I used to show great interest in music, dance and plays. I felt happy and I didn’t think I was different from anyone else.

Then one night at a high school dance, I overheard(偶然听到) someone say,“ That girl, what a pity she is blind.” Blind! That ugly word hurt me badly. Quickly I turned and called out, “Please don’t feel sorry for me. I’m having lots of fun.” But the fun was not to last.

After I went to college, I found a part-time job to make a living. I played the piano in bars to make a little money. But still I was always too poor to buy what I needed. That made me very upset.

I became more and more upset when my sisters and friends went off exciting dates while I could only stay on my own.

Then one day, I met a girl who lived two blocks away from my house. We got to know each other. She found out my sadness. "Stop knocking on closed doors. Keep up your beautiful music. You are trying too hard. Why not stop complaining and try your best to help each other?” She said.

The idea sounded fresh to me. So I decided to have a try. From then on, the girl and I often worked in a school for blind children. I liked to help them get through the hard times of life. Now my life is full of pleasure and comfort though the dark is still around me.

Every country has its own special customs. 45. Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time. If a person is invited to dinner at six thirty, the hostess expects him to be there at six-thirty, or not more than a few minutes late. When the guest cannot come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he can come. 46. 有时候，客人应该带一盒糖果或一些鲜花给女主人。

As guests continue to arrive, it is usually considered polite for the men in the group to stand when a woman enters the room. When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them.

47. There is a difference between American and European customs in using the knife and fork. Europeans keep the knife in the right hand, the fork in the left. They use both hands in eating. Americans, on the contrary, use just one hand whenever possible and keep the other one on their lap. If for any reason a guest has to leave the table during a meal, he or she should ask the hostess. “Would you please excuse me for a minute?” 48. 没有告诉女主人就离开是不礼貌的。

Following dinner, guests usually stay for two or three hours, and most dinner parties breakup at about 11 o’clock. 49. As the guests leave, it is the custom to thank the hostess for a very pleasant evening. One may say anything that expresses appreciation. Common expressions are: “Goodbye. It was so nice of you to have me,” or “Thank you. I’ve had a very nice time.”
