Eighty-four per cent of US people are monolingual (speakers of only one language). This leaves a small number who 38 to speak two or more languages. No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything 39 English is a marker of difference here. Thats why fourteen-year-old Umar is 40 when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umars mother points out: “In U.S.A, its not 41 for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in U.S.A, it is thought that you are not helping them to 42 society.” But in fact, the general 43 among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilinguals people who speak _44 languages have a clear learning advantage 45 their monolingual schoolmates. This 46 on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used, 47 they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language. Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says: “A lot of studies have 48 that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more 49 , but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects.” The view is that there is a(n) 50 from the effort of learning another language. A few other 51 agree that “Bilinguals tend to use language better as a whole. They also 52 greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily”. With all of the benefits, why do we not show more 53 for learning other languages. Parents and teachers 54 in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general 55 to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame.36.

As the sign-up sheet went up and down the rows, I started to come up with my 41 . Maybe it was the distance to the college where the event was to take place, or the early hour that 42 had to report for duty. Whatever the reasons that made me hesitate, I am thankful to this day that I 43 up volunteering. If I had missed the event, I would have missed one of the most unforgettable moments that I have ever 44 . I arrived at the volunteer tent bright and early. My task was 45 . I was to stand at the finish line only and wait until the event was over and then take the 46 to the announcing booth(公告处). Standing at the finish line, I was able to witness many amazing efforts and close races. I was most impressed by the effort each athlete put into his or her 47 . What also impressed me was the sincere 48 each athlete expressed while participating though sometimes the joy of participating in a sporting event can get 49 in the fierce competition of winning and losing. Then an amazing moment happened right before my eyes. A group of athletes were 50up to run a short race. One of them was in a wheelchair, a little girl with a 51 smile, wearing bright bows in her hair. Her smile filled the stadium that day. I couldnt help but smile back at her. The gun sounded. They were off. Runners sped up in the 52 with all their might. My eyes 53 for the little girl with the bright bows. There she was, pumping her arms with all the 54 she had. Her efforts were getting little result, but that did not stop her. I noticed as she got closer that she also had an injured arm. But that did not stop this bright star. The race was long over 55 the young athlete kept pumping her arms. As she finally 56 the finish line, the noise of the crowd was thunderous. There I stood 57 , with tears falling down my cheeks. After all these years, I can still hear those cheers. I wish I could thank that remarkable athlete for what her efforts 58 this unmotivated college guy. I grew up a lot that day because of the 59 of that little girl in the wheelchair. I was 60 that day of a poem from a book that states, “Whatever you do, do it with all your might.”41.
