Lessons for Americans, From a Chines Classroom
Observing how Chinese 2- and 3-year-olds navigated a second language, I wondered whether I could have done this for my children.
SHANGHAI — We sat in toddler-size wooden chairs around an orderly circle of Chinese 2-year-olds, busy with circle time. As a parent of three children who collectively spent 15 years in American day care, I am very familiar with circle time.
But I was in this Shanghai classroom as a professor, with college students from many different countries in a class I’m teaching here on children and childhood.
We were observing in a private kindergarten, designed to provide young children — starting at age 2 — with a carefully structured, fully bilingual curriculum, especially important because English language skills are vital for educational success in China.
Visits to Chinese educational institutions allow the college students in my course to get a look at real children and the ways that they learn, while also thinking about Chinese society today. They get windows onto certain slices of this complex country: a high-end private bilingual program that starts with toddlers; a city high school for academically gifted students; a middle school created for the children of the rural migrants who have come by the millions from China’s poorer provinces to work in Shanghai, but whose rights to social benefits are severely limited in the city.
These visits offer the college students insights into many of the social issues facing China, and we spend time in class discussing questions like the huge role that the annual gaokao college entrance exam plays in determining a child’s educational destiny (English is one of the required subjects), the pressures on families that create a culture of cram schools, and the controversies over reserving spots in colleges for kids from rural areas.
But all of those questions have powerful resonances when you think about the issues of childhood education and child development, which have to be addressed in every country. As my college students discuss the different facets of childhood around the world, visiting the Chinese schools also helps them in remembering and thinking about what children look like at different ages, and how they play and interact and learn.

GEORGE FLOYD, FROM ‘I WANT TO TOUCH THE WORLD’ TO ‘I CAN’T BREATHE’
Mr. Floyd had big plans for life nearly 30 years ago. His death in police custody is powering a movement against police brutality and racial injustice.
HOUSTON — It was the last day of 11th grade at Jack Yates High School in Houston, nearly three decades ago. A group of close friends, on their way home, were contemplating what senior year and beyond would bring. They were black teenagers on the precipice of manhood. What, they asked one another, did they want to do with their lives?
“George turned to me and said, ‘I want to touch the world,’” said Jonathan Veal, 45, recalling the aspiration of one of the young men — a tall, gregarious star athlete named George Floyd whom he had met in the school cafeteria on the first day of sixth grade. To their 17-year-old minds, touching the world maybe meant the N.B.A. or the N.F.L.
“It was one of the first moments I remembered after learning what happened to him,” Mr. Veal said. “He could not have imagined that this is the tragic way people would know his name.”
The world now knows George Perry Floyd Jr. through his final harrowing moments, as he begged for air, his face wedged for nearly nine minutes between a city street and a police officer’s knee.

Among the press‘s roles are what are called the “three
I’s” – information, interpretation, and interest. Roger Hilsman,
a political scientist and State Department official in the John
F. Kennedy administration, identified “the gathering and
dissemination of information” as a major function of the press.
The flow of information through the press [...] is the lifeblood of
America’s democratic system.
Information in press coverage of foreign affairs is
almost always accompanied by interpretation. Journalists
provide contexts (often called “frames”) in which information
is conveyed. “By suggesting the cause and relationships
of various events,” the political scientist Doris A. Graber
observes, “the media may shape opinions even without telling
their audiences what to believe or think. For example, linking
civil strife in El Salvador [in the 1980s] to the activities of
Soviet and Cuban agents ensured that the American public
would view the situation with considerable alarm.” Among
policymakers in Washington, Hilsman notes, “the press is not
the sole source of interpretation. The president, the secretary
of state, the assistant secretaries, American ambassadors,
senators, congressmen, academic experts – all are sources
of interpretation. But the fact that the press is there every day,
day after day, with its interpretations makes it the principal
competitor of all the others in interpreting events”.
The press also can play an important role in stirring interest
in an issue both in Washington and among the public. During
the Ronald Reagan years media reporting awakened public
interest on starvation in Ethiopia, a topic that Americans had
shown little interest in prior to the appearance of illustrated
stories about dying children in the press and on television. An
example from the James Earl Carter years was the debate
over whether to deploy enhanced radiation nuclear bombs
(also called neutron bombs) in western Europe. The debate
began with a story by Walter Pincus in the Washington Post
on 6 June 1977. A quotation in the story noted that the bombs
would „kill people“ while „leaving buildings and tanks standing.“
Once the story was framed in this negative way – on television
and radio as well as in newspapers and magazines – the
administration was not able to gain public and congressional
support for deploying the new weapon. The unfolding of this
story illustrates a frequent pattern in foreign policy: print
journalists often bring stories to public attention, after which
they are covered by other print and electronic reporters.

TEXT
When we are young, we learn that
tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We
might be scared of them because they are big
and powerful. As we get older, however, we
learn that sometimes the most dangerous
animals are also the smallest animals. In fact,
the animal that kills the most people every year
is one that you have probably killed yourself
many times: the mosquito.
While it may seem that all mosquitoes
are biters, this is not actually the case. Male
mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand,
female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They
need this blood to live and produce eggs. When
a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the
blood. This saliva may or may not contain a
deadly disease. The result of the bite can be as
minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many
people in the course of its life, it can carry
diseases from one person to another very
easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried
by mosquitoes are malaria and yellow fever.
More than 700 million people become sick
from these diseases every year. At least 2
million of these people will die from these
diseases.
Many scientists are working on safer
and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far,
there is no sure way to protect everyone in the
world from their deadly bites. Mosquito nets
can be placed over beds to protect people
against being bitten. These nets help people
stay safe at night, but they do not kill any
mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural
enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and
certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these
animals into places where mosquitoes live
might help to cut down the amount of
mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural
solution, but it does not always work very well.
Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or
sprays. Even though these sprays kill
mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or
animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as
scary as larger, more powerful animals, they
are far more dangerous to human beings. But
things are changing. It is highly likely that one
day scientists will find a way to keep everyone
safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they
carry.
What does the word “minor” mean on the
second paragraph?

As a young democracy, Brazil has confronted economic
and financial upheavals in the past. The country’s economic
crisis of 2014—2017 saw a drastic fall in gross domestic product
(GDP), stark rise in unemployment, a severe fiscal crisis, and an
increased budget deficit. Since then, the economy has been a
prominent issue in political conversations, especially regarding
globalization and the ways in which trade liberalization can affect
economic growth. Those running for office in 2018 differed
slightly in this debate, and comparing the proposals and
backgrounds of their economic advisors was as important as
comparing the candidates themselves.
Lara Bartilotti Picanço, Mariana Nozela Prado & Andrew Allen.
Economy and Trade — Brazil 2018 Understanding
the Issues. August 14, 2018. Internet: <www.wilsoncenter.org> (adapted).
Considering the text above, judge the following item.
In “especially regarding globalization and the ways in which
trade liberalization can affect economic growth” (third
sentence), the word “growth” can be substituted by the word
expansion without substantially changing the meaning of the
sentence.

account the language teaching
methodologies, which one best aligns
with the PCN proposal for teaching a

I happily advertise the fact I breastfed – it’s
high time that brands embraced it too
by Nell Frizzell
New ads by Aldi, Adidas and Sainsbury’s all
feature breastfeeding mothers. Hopefully this will
normalize the process to help new parents feed
with ease
It may be some time yet until we see a mother
in an advert precariously balancing her
child/bag/shopping/pets before pushing a nipple
into the mouth of a howling, jam-smeared toddler.
But when they do, oh boy, are my days as a model
really going to get going.
In recent weeks, a series of adverts have
appeared from Tu at Sainsbury’s, Adidas and Aldi,
all featuring breastfeeding mothers. Some are
wearing flowery blouses and have tattoos, others
are holding a naked baby between the zips of a
sports top. Of course the women are good-looking,
of course they are slim, of course we cannot
actually see anything as erotically charged or as
morally unsettling as an areola – this is still
advertising, after all. But it is, surely, a start.
As someone who breastfed her son for 21 shirtlifting, bra-soaking, carefree months, I am of
course pleased to see breastfeeding being held up
as something both everyday and aspirational. It is
as prosaic as a trip to the supermarket yet as
physically impressive as professional sport. It
belongs on billboards and screens as much as
beds and sofas.
here is no such thing as “normal” when it
comes to babies or bodies. But to normalize
something that, in the words of UNICEF, has a
profoundly positive impact on child health, is of
course to be celebrated. You might find yourself
whipping out a boob on a train full of football fans;
you might squirt milk across somebody else’s coat
on the bus; you might find yourself answering the
door with your full breast outside your clothes
without noticing. And if the presence of big brands
behind your bra straps encourage you to keep
feeding, then all power to your elbow. It is a shame
that this hasn’t happened sooner, but it’s better late
than never – and there’s no use crying over spilled
(breast) milk.

something that, in the words of UNICEF, has a
profoundly positive impact on child health, is of
course to be celebrated. You might find yourself

you might squirt milk across somebody else’s coat
on the bus; you might find yourself answering the
door with your full breast outside your clothes
without noticing. And if the presence of big brands
behind your bra straps encourage you to keep
feeding, then all power to your elbow. It is a shame
that this hasn’t happened sooner, but it’s better late
than never – and there’s no use crying over spilled
(breast) milk.

I happily advertise the fact I breastfed – it’s

The text also talks about normalizing
breastfeeding, that is, women who
breastfeed would feel comfortable and
not ashamed of doing so in public places.
As a result of such normalization, women
might find themselves in the following

TEXT IV
Sleep (slēp):
A natural state of rest, occurring at regular
intervals, in which the eyes usually close, the
muscles relax, and
responsiveness to external events decreases.
Growth and repair of the tissues of the body are
thought to occur duringsleep, and energy is
conserved and stored. In humans and some other
animals, scientists have identified one phase of
sleep (called REM sleep) as the phase in which
dreams occur.
Did You Know? Shakespeare had it right. He
said that sleep was the "balm of hurt minds" and
that sleep "knits up the ravel'd sleeve of care." In
other words, sleep helps overcome the stress of
everyday life. So the third of your life you spend
asleep is not a waste of time. All warm-blooded
animals have the need to sleep. Studies have
shown that animals that are not allowed to sleep
for a long enough time can actually die. Babies,
human and animal, sleep even more than adults
do. Researchers think that babies may sleep so
much because it helps the young body continue to
develop quickly. Not only are babies' bodies
growing, but their brains are, too – and sleep is
very important for the brain. During sleep, the brain
sorts through experiences and stores important
new information for later use. This processing of
experiences, in fact, is thought to be a major
source of dreams.
