Through watching the National Day parade roll down Tian’anmen Square last Thursday, foreign observers were impressed by China’s fast development and growing strength

China’s military parade, the birthday celebration was a showcase of fighter jets, tanks and ballistic missiles(弹道导弹).The display included 100,000 marchers, 80,000 children, 8,000 soldiers and 151 planes.President Hu Jintao, whose Mao suit(中山装)interested foreign media, told the watching nation that the Chinese people were “full of confidence,” USA Today reported.“Today, a socialist China, facing modernization, the world and the future, has stood rock-firm in the east of the world,” he said.

The celebration marked the day in 1949 when Chairman Mao Zedong announced the founding of the People’s Republic of China.In the years since, the nation has grown into the world’s third largest economy.

The Associated Press(美联社)quoted Geremie Barme, a China expert at Australian National University as saying that the displays “meant” to educate, excite, unite and entertain”.The New York Times said that while China’s military is still behind those of many developed nations, its progress since the last parade in 1999 was clear.

The rapidly improving ability of China’s army has worried some overseas analysts.Reuters said that Dongfeng 21C, the anti-ship missile, could force US aircraft carriers(航空母舰)to stay farther away from China’s waters, if models were developed into more powerful ballistic missiles.

Russell Moses, a political analyst, said China’s leaders are “right to congratulate themselves, but real test is not how they deal with success but how they deal with present challenges.” Among these are the imbalance in development between the town and the country, unemployment and the environment.

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously , did not give her good service , pretended not to understand her , or even acted as if they did not hear her . W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan..”

   And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week lone.”

And then, in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m

    When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

From Paragorph 2, we know that the author was          .

       A. good at pretending                                       B. rude to the stockbroker

       C. unwilling to phone for her mother              D. ready to help her mother

A. they forgave the stockbroker                     B. they went to New York immediately

       C .they failed to get the check                      D. they spoke to their boss at once

What does the author think of her mother’s English now? W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m

       A. It confuses her.                               B. It embarrasses her.

       C .It helps her tolerate rude people.                 D. It helps her understand the world.

We can inter from the passage that Chinese English         . w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m
