Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a \hao\when strangers enter the classroom, \really fun!\interview with Jackie Chan. \。\ The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them - as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents - has produced a quick growth in the number of programs。
Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance. \says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. \has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers. The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust\
(80) The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees,
is having enough teachers. Finding teacher \the challenge,\says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. \ 【翻译】芝加哥McCormick小学四年级的学生，不知道汉语理应是很难学的语言。对于他们中大多数在家说西班牙语的人而言，汉语正变成他们的第三种语言。他们一直听人说、自己用汉语，很自然有陌生人进教室时就会\你好\。\真的很有趣\， Miranda Lucas在上完一堂涉及到成龙的会谈的课、休息时说道，\我现在在教我妈妈说汉语。\
Miranda Lucas课堂上的一幕不是常见，但在很快美国许多学校，汉语正日益成为热门外语的时候，这一现象会很常见。政府官员长久以来希望关注像汉语这样实用的语言，而且来自他们、商界领导人、政治家们、家长们的压力，也使汉语培训项目得以快速发展。 芝加哥市的官员们做了最佳的努力，把汉语纳入进了公立学校的教学科目，这些项目发展到了20所学校、3，000名学生，而且还有更多的学校也在计划之中。这样的培训项目也扩展到了像洛杉矶、纽约和北卡罗林纳州。对这一项目持支持态度的人把汉语语言及文化知识看做在全球经济中的一大优势，（因为）在全球经济中，中国的重要性正在增长。Michael Levine，是已开办了五所培训汉语的亚洲教育教育集团的校长，他说：\全球化已经改变了今天的孩子如何考虑他们今后的职业安排，问题是学校何时，而不是是否去（对此）作出调整\。
相对于学习西班牙语或法语的学生来说，学习汉语的人数很少。但有一个报告表明：未上大学报名学习的人数，从1992年到2002年期间内，几乎增加了4倍。但尽管有需求，开发这样的项目并不容易。每个人都同意：首要问题就是没有足够的师职。身为大学教育顾问并担任大学水平汉语老师的Scott McGinnis就说：找汉语老师是个\很有挑战性的工作，相比之下，教材并不难找，或许可以让学校出资解决\。
