China’s economy is the world’s fastest growing one and it shows no sign of slowing down. Signing contracts with Chinese businesses is the top priority for every British company that wants to stay ahead in global trade. Now schools in the United Kingdom want to give their students a head start by teaching them Mandarin -- and they are making it compulsory.
Brighton College is a private school on the south coast of Britain and (26) already teaches Latin, Spanish and French to its 1,200 pupils. At present, students can choose between these languages, but from the autumn, which is the beginning of the new academic year in British schools, every student must study Mandarin whether they like it or not.
Richard Calms, headmaster of Brighton College, describes the move as" all the more radical" as there is very few native Chinese pupils studying at the College. (27) Mr. Cairns is considered a radical person himself because he will begin Mandarin classes in September as a pupil in an ordinary class of students.
(28) Calms is convinced that teaching Mandarin is essential for his students that already have a good record in succeeding in business. With Mandarin added to a pupil’s portfolio, that record can be sustained and improved. "One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils are equipped for the realities of the 21st century and one is that China has the fastest growing economy." he said.
Brighton College is following a national trend as studying Chinese to the British A-level standard is destined to overtake Spanish and German, according to recent figures showing the number of students taking language examinations.
选项
A、To let them know another language.
B、To enable them to succeed in business.
C、To let them know the fact that China is the fastest growing country.
D、To make learning Mandarin a national trend.
答案
B
解析
从文中可以看出,Mr. Cairns认为对于那些已经在商业领域取得成功的学生学习汉语至关重要,故本题答案为B项。
