She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots." Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to（接触）the language and culture?9 she says."Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.

Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.21 .

When I was nine years old, I learned how to make a coin disappear. rd read The Lord of the Rings and ventured into the adult section of the library to search for a book of spells-nine being that curious age at which you're old enough to work through more than 1,200 pages of fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found instead taught basic sleight-of-hand technique, and I dedicated the next months to practice.At first the magic wasn't any good. At first it wasn't even magic; it was just a tricka bad trick. I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day, and after two weeks of this my mom got a carpet from the hardware store and placed it under the mirror to muffle the sound of the coin falling again and again.I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano, so I knew how to practice-slowly, deliberately, going for precision rather than speed. One day I tried the illusion in the mirror and the coin vanished. It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle.One of the lessons you learn very early on as a magician is that the most amazing part of a trick has nothing to do with the secret. The secret is simple and often dull: a hidden piece of tape, a small mirror, a duplicate playing card, diversion of the audience's attention. In this case, the secret was a series of covert （ 暗 中的）technique to hide the coin behind my hand in the act of opening it, a dance of the fingers that I learned so completely I didn't even have to think. I would close my hand, then open it, and the coin would vanish not by skill but by real magic.23 .What book did the author intend to find in the library when he was nine years old?A.A book teaching people how to make a coin disappear.B.The second book of The Lord of the Rings.C.A book on how to become a magician.D.A book of real magic.24 .The underlined word “muffle'' probably means .A.cleanB.punishC.lowerD.kill.What did the author learn from his dad playing the piano?A.Without music, life is of no value.B.Practice makes perfect.C.Great liars are also great magicians.D.No pains, no gains.25 .Which of the following is not mentioned as a magician trick?A.Carrying out skillful hand moves.B.Using real magic to create miracles.C.Hiding some stage tools inside the coat.D.Guiding the audience to focus on something unimportant.CAfter 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you too, and she would love to spend some time with you.”The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out fbr dinner and a movie. "What's wrong, are you well? she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.“I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you J I responded. "Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Halfway through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversationnothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for
