Learning a second language
Nowadays, more and more people are learning a second language. So why should we invest time in learning a second language? Is it worth it? What are the benefits of learning a second language? Let us see.
1.
If your work involves regular contact with speakers of foreign languages, being able to talk to them in their own languages will help you to communicate with them better. It may also help you to make sales and to negotiate and secure contracts. Knowledge of foreign languages may also increase your chance of finding a new job, getting a promotion or a transfer overseas, or of going on foreign business trips.
2.
Needless to say, being able to speak a foreign language, for example, the Japanese, would benefit you a lot when you are travelling to Japan. Being able to speak the language of the target country will save you a lot of communication trouble and inconvenience. 3.
Education
If you are a high school student or a college student who is interested in going abroad for further education, then you will, in all possibility, have to learn the language of the country where you wish to move to, for further studies. 4.
5.
Learning a second language can help in broadening one’s horizon, it can help in learning about the culture of that particular country and it can pave the way for new interests and hobbies.

He Jiang, who was the first person from China to deliver a Harvard University commencement (學位授予典禮) address, has made the 2017 Forbes 30 Under 30 List.
Forbes’ 30 Under 30 is a set of lists issued annually by Forbes magazine. On Tuesday, the magazine published the sixth annual 30 Under 30, featuring 600 young inventors and leaders who challenge conventional wisdom and rewrite the rules for the next generation.
The list recognizes 30 game-changers in each of 20 industries. All under 30 years old, the candidates were examined by a group of judges in their fields. “The winners are the people that will run every field for the next 50 years,” said Randall Lane, editor of Forbes.
He, a 29-year-old postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was chosen for the healthcare category. He was recommended by his professors at Harvard.
At Harvard, He used a new technology to understand more about how flu infects cells, and discovered human genes with strong anti-viral effects. He is now applying the same techniques to white blood cells. He hopes the lab research he did could be put to practical use in healthcare.
He grew up in a small village with limited educational opportunities. By studying hard, he graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China with a bachelor’s degree in 2009, and was accepted into Harvard’s PhD program on a full scholarship the same year.
In May, the biochemistry PhD delivered a speech representing the university’s 13 graduate and professional schools at the ceremony. In the speech, he talked about the unbalanced distribution of science and medicine into places they aren’t reaching, like his own village, where his mother once treated his spider bite with fire.

Back in 2001, Pen Hadow and I traveled to the North Pole. One morning we’d just taken down our tent and started skiing. Pen was in front, and I was following him. Suddenly I got a strange feeling that something was behind us. I stopped, looked back and saw a polar bear, walking towards us.
Pen and I planned to stay where we were, try and look big, and frighten it away. Pen had a shotgun that we’d bought in Russia. That was his job. My job was to look big and to take off my skis, hold the skis in the air, make lots of noise, and frighten away the bear. Pen raised the gun and fired into the air. However, it jammed and failed to work.
The bear was walking towards us. Pen tried again, but again it didn’t work. Then he walked towards the bear, and I thought, “Wow, Pen’s gone completely mad. He’s going to get eaten. What should I do?”
I thought maybe I could throw a ski at it or stab (刺) it with a ski pole or something. Suddenly, the bear stopped. Pen stopped. Bang. The gun went off in the air. There was a big cloud of smoke that I thought surprised Pen and me more than it surprised the bear. The animal looked up, looked down, turned around and walked off. Pen turned round and said, “Quick, get the camera and take a photograph,” and that was when suddenly I felt really nervous. I couldn’t even undo the zip on our bag.
That was the morning of the second day of this journey. We were out there for two months — fifty-nine days, but we never saw another bear that close.
1.What happened to the author and Pen?
A. They lost their way.
B. They felt terribly ill.
C. They broke their tent.
D. They were followed by a bear.
2.Which of the following can best describe the author and Pen?
A. Calm and brave.
B. Caring and proud.
C. Honest and friendly.
D. Careful and humorous.
3.Who frightened the bear away in the end?

A. his discovery in the North Pole
B. his experience in the North Pole
C. why he traveled to the North Pole
