24、My dad lost his job a few years ago. At the time, I thought it didn’t matter much, but I was wrong. That event changed my life.

Dad said we had to make some changes. Mom explained that I would have to stop taking dance lessons for a while. My brother Kenny couldn’t go to the summer camp, either. And we would have to save some money by cutting out unnecessary things.

The next few months we all helped out. Mom went back to work full-time. We had to cut out going to the movies. Kenny got a part-time job to make money in his free time. He even studied harder in college and got a scholarship (奖学金). As a middle school student, I couldn’t find a part-time job like my brother. I wanted to help, so I took out all the money I had saved to help our family pull through. As my mom was busy doing the job, I took on the responsibility of doing housework. Though it was hard for us, no one gave up and we encouraged each other.

After a few months, Dad found a job in the city Dad thanked us for helping out. He said, “We all came together as a family.”

Later on, I thought about what Dad said and realized he was right. We were all upset about giving things up, but we did what we could to help each other. Even though it was bad that my dad lost his job, it showed me what a family is all about.

26、In a US classroom, there are some paintings of Chinese stories and characters (人物) on the wall. Twelve children are singing popular songs in Chinese, such as Daddy, Where Are We Going and Stars in the Sky.

Started in 2008, the school tries to help children to have a better future in life by teaching them in a Chinese educational environment. The school's teaching model has caused the children's interest in learning Chinese and learning about China.

From Monday to Friday every week, Anna spends two hours learning Chinese at the school, playing games and reading the Three Character Primer, or San Zi Jing, one of the ancient Chinese classic texts.

Seven-year-old Anna has studied Chinese for two years in the Confucius(孔子) Classroom in Washington Yuying Public Charter School. During class, Anna and the other children are interested in introducing themselves and teaching visitors how to say “hello”, “thank you” and “goodbye” in Chinese.

“I haven't been to China yet, but I will go there in a few years,” the girl says in Chinese.

“When she grows up, she will be able to communicate with Chinese. I hope she learns Chinese as early as possible,” says Anna's mother . “I have to spend more on this, but I think it's helpful, because what she will get is a lifelong skill.”

In March, the children shared their trip to Chinese cities such as Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai with former(以前的) US First Lady Michelle Obama. The First Lady told the children that it is very important for American students to learn foreign languages and cultures at a school like Yuying, if they truly wish to learn more about other countries.

B．Anna doesn't do well in learning Chinese

C．Anna does well in learning English

【4】Why does Anna's mother send her to the Confucius Classroom?
