The Rise of China's Economy
Monsieur Label and his wife, both respected architects living in Paris' Sixth Quarter, have enrolled their daughter in a nearby school where Chinese classes start at kindergarten. Monsieur Label says of China: "I and my colleagues witnessed the country's amazing development when we .attended a recent seminar in Shenzhen. I believe that China is the economic superpower of the future. My wife and I speak French, English and Spanish, but my daughter should also learn Chinese because it will be useful to her when she grows up."
Since Chinese courses were added to the curricula of 132 French junior and senior high schools their enrollment has doubled. That at the Oriental Language and Culture College, one of France's largest Chinese teaching colleges, has skyrocketed in recent yearn, according to Xu Dan, dean of the Chinese Department. She confirms that Chinese and Japanese are now the two most studied Asian languages.
French junior student Beida says totally fluent in Chinese. "I'm learning Chinese because I want to be an international lawyer in China, "he explains.
Young French entrepreneur Petrie Penia established his Beiyan Consultancy Company in Paris, and it now works together with China Central Television in introducing French traditions and culture to Chinese audiences. Patric also cooperated with Beijing's University of Finance and Economies and Central University of Finance and Economies in launching a three-week crash course in Chinese in Beijing. In 2005, he initiated the "Chinese people and business management" training course in Paris, which consists of seminars to help French businessmen understand how Chinese business operates.
Germany has also caught on to the benefits of Chinese language learning, and has added Chinese to its high school graduation exams. Many international corporations also hold introductory Chinese courses for employee's assigned work in China. "English isn't enough," says Herr Gerck, president of Siemens China, "We need to equip our staff with the ability to deal with Chinese merchants in their own language."
In Britain, a Chinese teaching program that will form. part of the national curriculum has been formulated and approved by the Department of Education and Skills. In the U. S. , Chinese is part of the Advance Placement Program for American high school students. This means that students can take college-level Chinese in the same way as they learn French, Spanish and German and gain credits if they get good test results. More than 2,500 primary and high schools now offer AP courses in the Chinese language.
Cultural Echoes
Chinese characters, along with the Confucian philosophy, have always had profound influence on Hah cultural circles in Asia, and after a brief hiatus, Chinese language teaching is in demand once more in the Singapore, Japan and Vietnam.
"Singaporeans rushed to learn English in the 1970s, when it was believed to be the most useful language for the future. Now, in the 21st century, a lack of Chinese-speaking skills is seen as a disadvantage," says one Singaporean student, who recently graduated from Beijing University with a BA in international relations.
The German ambassador to the ROK once told vice minister of Education Zhang Xinsheng: "Nowadays, high school teachers of German and French must also learn Chinese if they want to keep their jobs."
In the ROK, a high HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi -- the Chinese Language Proficiency Test

听力原文： Janet's sister is a stewardess for a famous international airline, and Janet wants to become one too. Of course she is still too young. The minimum age for a stewardess is twenty and Janet is only just over sixteen.
For the moment she has taken a job in an office. But she is going to attend evening classes. In particular, she -wants to improve her French and she has also decided to take up a second language. This is because foreign languages are essential for a stewardess.
Later on, when she is about eighteen, she plans to work in a hotel for a while. This will not be difficult to arrange because one of her- uncles is the manager of a big London hotel. Among other things, she proposes to work in the kitchen and the dining-room. This will be especially valuable experience because an important part of a stewardess' work is to serve and feed the passengers.
Finally, if she has the time, she will go and work in a hospital for a while. Again this will provide mere valuable experience.
So, you see, Janet has made up her mind and she is preparing for her career very carefully. But it was not easy for her to decide. She asked a large number of people and they all gave her conflicting advice!

How to Get Ready for Studying Abroad
It was ail so misleadingly simple. I had studied French in college, and my university offered a year abroad in France. My scholarship would apply; credit for courses was assured; advisers were available on campus to discuss passports, visas, shots, international student IDs and driver' s licenses. A charter flight had been booked and housing had been arranged. There was even a list of suggestions for packing. What could be simpler？
Of course, we were told at the orientation meetings that it might be difficult to adjust to a foreign language, strange customs, and the European academic system. I remember paying insufficient attention. "The tour is arranged," I said to myself. "Everything works out."
And everything did work out--more or less--but I came across some big surprises. If you are planning to study overseas, let me suggest a few key points to consider before you leave the USA.
Learn the Language
In France, they speak French. Why, then, did ! not strive vigorously to learn the language before I arrived？ The requirement of two years of college French is minimal. One of my teachers warned that I was only marginally grounded in the language.
But learning to speak French in the US was hard work, so I put it off until I got to France, where I assumed language skills could be acquired effortlessly. Unfortunately, I was so embarrassed by my poor command of the language that I was afraid to speak.
Help came in the form. of a Gallic proverb: "In order to speak good French, you have to relax; and in order to relax, you have to drink wine. "At least half of that adage (谚语) proved to be true. The greatest obstacle to learning a foreign language isn' t vocabulary or grammar or pronunciation; it' s self-consciousness. I eventually learned to relax while making ridiculous mistakes.
Don't Insist on the American Way
Adjusting to another country demands changes in behavior. and an open mind. Daily bath ing, for example, is an American way of life, while many European cannot imagine why anyone would want to shower more often than once a week. Because I lived in a dorm, I could follow my hygienic habits, and the French theirs. But in some student housing, such freedom wash' t possible, either because the proprietors (经营者) considered dally showers extravagant or because there were no showers at all.
Social interactions can be a lot more complex. In France, for instance, a woman will not let a man pay for so much as a cup of espresso (浓咖啡) --to do so would be equal to inviting amorous (性爱的) advances. American women were assumed to play by the same rules, whether they knew the rules or not.
On the other hand, the French see absolutely nothing wrong with a group of young men dancing together. We male Americans were not about to dance without women--until one night when we went out on the town with several male French friends, and the lot of them took to the dance floor. Whenever such cultural customs conflicted, I had to choose to remain aloof and risk offending, or embrace their ways. I dance.
Some of these rules and customs can be learned in advance; others are picked up easily abroad. Remaining flexible is the key.
Be Prepared for Independent Study
The cultural difference that jolted me the most was in the university system itself. In Europe, the professor is a man on a pedestal (显要地位), expecting and receiving deference. His contact with students is minimal. Even in the classroom, students neither question nor discuss the material presented.
Attendance at the once-a-week classes is entirely voluntary. No assignments are given. The final exam does not consist of materials presented in lectures. The course is defined not by how much material a professor covers, but by a syllabus which lists the texts, periods, or literary

Man: That's quite a load.
Woman: Yes. I know it's going to be a lot of work, but it should be an interesting semester. And I'm not going to have to work this term because I managed to save quite a bit of money from my summer job at the cannery. So I should have enough time to study.
Man: That's good. I'm going to have to work twenty hours a week at the library.
Woman: What do you do there？ Do you like it？
Man: I shelve books on the third floor. Sometimes it gets monotonous, but the pay isn't bad. And I can arrange my hours to suit my class schedule.
Woman: What are you taking this semester？
Man: French, Biology, and Accounting. I like the French and Biology instructors, but the Accounting professor is very dry and boring.
Woman: Do you have Professor Stillwell？ I've heard he's terrible.
Man: Yes. Do you know of anybody who's better？
Woman: My friend Antonio took Accounting with Professor Atkins last spring. He said that she was wonderful—knew her subject well and had a great sense of humor.
Man: I'll have to check to see if she's teaching this semester. If she is, I'll try to transfer into her class.
