Chinese is your first language，your"mother tongue（舌头）"．For most of you，English is your second language，but in the college entrance exam，English is considered just as important as Chinese-each language is worth 150points．Some educators think this is unrealistic and unfair．
On Oct.22，2013Beijing Municipal Commission of Education（北京市教育委员会） announced that，from 2016，the English scores in the senior high school entrance exam will be reduced from 120to 100．Of the 100points，the listening ability scores will add to 50．They also want to allow students to take the English test more than once so that students have a better chance to get higher scores．
Why such a change？It places the importance on Chinese in our study，and cuts students'pressure，said Li Yi，spokesman of the commission．
"The change will also push us to pay attention to the practical usage of English，"said Li．"Students will be encouraged to learn to understand English menus and read English news on mobile phones．"
There is no news that other cities will have the same change．But several places are making changes to English tests in the college entrance exams．

But，"Being tested for less points doesn't mean the subject can be taken lightly，"Bai Ping wrote in China Daily．

14．I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters．Standing by her chair，looking at the ink bottle，pens，and white paper，I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world．Years later，during her final illness，mother kept different things for my sister and brother．"But the desk，"she'd said again，"it's for Elizabeth．"
I never saw her angry，never saw her cry．I knew she loved me； she showed it in action．But as a young girl，I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter．
They never happened．And a gulf（分歧） opened between us．I was"too emotional（易动感情的）"．But she lived"on the surface（表面）"．
As years passed I had my own family．I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family．I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅） me．
I posted the letter and waited for her answer．None came．
My hope turned to disappointment（失望），then little interest and，finally，peace-it seemed that nothing happened．I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother．I only knew that I had written it，and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not．
Now the present of her desk told，as she'd never been able to，that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work．I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter，folded（折叠） and refolded many times．
Give me an answer，my letter asks，in any way you choose．Mother，you always chose the act that speaks louder than words．
