15．It seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old．The most popular way to teach these young children another language is called immersion （沉浸式語言教學(xué)法）．
     Children in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom．The children play games，sing songs and talk to one another in the new language．Some experts （專家） say immersion programs are the most effective （有效的） way for young children to learn a language．But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age．Not many elementary schools continue to teach a foreign language．Only seven of the fifty states require （要求） schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve．Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language．Still，American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary schools．By then，students are about thirteen years old．
     American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs．The government has increased support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind．
     At the college，the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages and more languages are being studied now than in the past．Spanish is the most widely （廣泛地） taught in American colleges and universities．French，German，Chinese and Italian are also popular．

11．Online，English has become a common language for users from all over the world．In the process，the language itself is changing．
There are now about 4，500 million web pages around the world．Some people say that within  10 years people will use English widely on the Internet，but in forms it is very different from what we accept and know as English today．Why？
That's because more people now speak English as a second language．And they use it to communicate with other nonnative speakers，especially on the Internet where they pay little attention to grammar and spelling．
"The Internet gives non-native speakers more freedom to use English in important and meaningful ways，"says Bill Smith，a professor of language at American University in Washington D．C．
Internet users already create a number of different"Englishes"like Hinglish（Indian English），Spanglish（Spanish English） and Konlish（Korean English）．Though these different forms have been there within different cultures，they are now going far and wide online．
Some words are taken from traditional English．"Blur"（="not clear"or"slow"），for example，is often used in Singlish （Singaporean English），Some English words are put together to make something new．In Chinglish（Chinese English），"long time no see"means"have not seen you for a long time"．
"In fact，most people speak different languages-it's less common to speak only one，"says Mr Smith．English has become the world's language，but it's not pushing out other languages．Instead，other languages are pushing their into English，and in the process，creating something new．

10．Some people have to use public transport，some dislike it and still some love it．If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go，there will be serious traffic problems on the road．Luckily，trains are a good form of public transport．
British people use trains a lot．This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris．Every day about 20 trains leave London．They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris．It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car．This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and lowly for many reasons，such as speed limits and traffic jams．However，when you are travelling by train，the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train．
Besides，Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground．Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made．More importantly，they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track．
What's more，trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users．When you are on a London train，you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit．They also provide food services and power plugs（電源插頭） for personal computers or mobile phone．

The exhibition will visit 15 US and international cities in the next five years．Organizers say they want more kids to learn why math is important in daily life．Think of simple things，like clocks．They tell time，but only if you know how to read them．That means using math．How much longer until school ends？How long did you sleep last night？That's all math，too．
