They also determined which languages tend to lead to the best career opportunities as an adult. "We believe that language learning is hugely beneficial fbr children's development and it's a real investment for the future/5 said Antonella Sorace, professor of developmental Inguistics and director of offinguatlsm matters at Edinburgh University. The study involved a survey of 2,001 parents with children under the age of 18, along with another survey of more than 500 business leaders.So which languages took the top spot? Results indicated that children should be learning French, German, and/or Mandarin if they want to be successful within the next ten years. Proficiency in a second language opens the door to new markets for businesses and allows them to create new relationships with prospective partners.Aside from being able to speak another language, the academic and interpersonal skills that can be gained from learning a new language are important as well. "Children who are exposed different languages become more aware of different cultures,other people,and other points of view. They also tend to be better than monolinguals at multitasking and are often more advanced readers, said Sorace.A vast majority of parents surveyed in this study (85 percent) believe it is important for their children to learn a second language, and about one in four believe it will enhance their child's career opportunities and boost employability.The future employment market are in need of space tour guide, robot coach, frontline e-commerce worker, nurse practitioner etc. No matter what a child choose to be, multilinguals and cross-culture talents will probably stand a good chance to take the lead.

They could tell exact dates, locations, and fight numbers effortlessly Vance9s “big one is Swiss Air Flight 11 in 1998. He was put in the position of dealing with all the families from very early on, many of whom held the hope that their relatives could have survived. All 229 passengers and crew died. Burning fabric; burning flesh. The smell catches in your throat, and stays in your mind long after you've left the scene. Investigations can take anywhere from days to years.What can affect people in these jobs is the ongoing emotional damage, said Vivien Lee, a psychologist. But mental health assistance is often lacking within the industry. Evidence suggests that investigators, like first responders, can suffer from negative emotional effects, including frequent thoughts and PTSD （仓伤后应激障 碍）.“One emotion of losing relatives is anger,“ Brickhouse reflected. "And they,re looking to you to figure out what happened to their loved ones." Depending on the size of the crash, that anger can come alongside a lot of international media attention.But more often, Vance said, the questions he faces are perhaps even tougher to answer than what caused the crash. "How did my loved one die? What were they feeling? What were they seeing?” And tougher still: “Were they su他ring?”Listening to the black box recordings takes an emotional damage. He said it was more unbearable by knowing that he's listening to the final minutes of someone's life. Some people in his industry listen to a black box recording once and choose to never do it again, he said.The knowledge that they're doing an essential job can make the tougher aspects of the work a little easier. “The end result of your work is that you try to make the world a safer place, so that this doesn't happen to somebody else J Vance said.30. What can be inferred about the air-crash investigators?A.They often get throat problems.B.They must have good memories.C.They experienced the same accident.D.They have to deal with many difficulties.31. What should be done to help the air-crash investigators?A.Helping them avoid air crashes.B.Sending first respondents with them.C.Offering qualified psychologists.D.Teaching them how to communicate.32. What is the most difficult part in Vance's job?A.Finding the black box.B.Answering the questions.C Smelling the burning things.D.Investigating the cause of the crash.33. . Which word can be used to describe the air-crash investigators?A. Generous.B. Easy-going. C. Self-giving. D. Independent.第二节（共5小题；每小题分，满分分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。With the expected firework （烟花）displays, pet owners know the holiday can be somewhat hard for their pet friends.
