I.阅读理解。
It's believed that Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world.For one
thing, Chinese has tens of thousands of characters( 汉字).And its writing way is also one
of the main difficulties for all the learners.More importantly, the language has different
tones(声调),so how you speak a word can change its meaning.For example,“ma”with
the first Chinese tone means “Mom”,but with the third tone,it means "horse”
However,according to the Ministry of Education(教育部)in China,the Chinese language
learning is available( 可获得的 )in more than 180 countries around the world.76 countries
have included the Chinese language in their national education systems and nearly 200
million people have received Chinese language training.
