When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just the two of you?

Parents who take their young children to music，swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day.But it doesn’t have to be that way.Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way，especially if you do it through a class or an event.When parent and child become students together，it puts them on the same level，at least for a while.

“I really like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sh aring things and talking about what they’re doing and what they like，”said art teacher Pyper Dixon.

However，finding something new in common is a big choice for

3 / 12实用精品文档

them，especially when kids get involved in sports and other after-school activities.But it’s po ssible to learn a new skill or hobby together.

That’s certainly true of Lauren,11，from Silver Spring，who is in Dixon’s class with her father，Dennis.“I was just going to drop her off，” Dennis said，“but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”

Now Lauren gets to nag her father about doing his art homework.“He always leaves it to the last minute，” she said.“But then he’ll turn around to do amazing drawings，”she added.“We have different styles of drawing，so it’s interesting to talk it over with him.”

Without the Saturday morning art class，Dennis said，he would be reading the paper，and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer.But they talk more now.“I can’t think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely，” he said.

1．The author raises the question at the beginning to________.

A．expect an answer B．criticize some parents

C．introduce the topic D．support his argument

2．What does Dixon think is the benefit of parent and child studying art together?

A．They will become equal.

B．They will communicate more.

C．The child will learn art much better.

D．The parent will learn something new.

3．The underlined word “nag” in the text probably means________.

A．urge B．help

C．ignore D．teach

A．Lauren used to talk a lot with her father

Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English，European experts say.

“Hopefully，the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated，” says Michel Hockx，professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London.“Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already.Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive，with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”

Jonathan Ruppin，web editor of bookseller Foyles，says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary (富于幻想的) writer.“We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available，” Ruppin says.He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.

As East-West cultural exchange has been booming，Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years.Hockx explains，“It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for

Chinese writers to visit other countries，to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad.At the same time，more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”

University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says，“The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself.People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit (缺少) between China and its international counterparts—in particular，China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way round—and reading Chinese literature is an effective，simple means of solving that gap.”

5．The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．

A．start out B．burn up

C．set off D．appeal to

6．Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because________.

A．Chinese writers have been writing more and more books in English

B．the Chinese language has become the most widely used language in the world

C．the Chinese government attaches great importance to literature D．the cultural communication between China and western countries has developed

7．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
