People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.
A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn.
Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.
Different cultures and individuals will find different languages more difficult. In the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a similar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers may find it easier, struggling with languages that the British find relatively hard.
No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that one language that is the most difficult language in the world.
1.Who might find Portuguese an easier language to learn?
A. The Chinese. B. Russians.
C. Spanish people. D. The Japanese.
2.Why do Japanese speakers find the Chinese less difficult to learn?
A. They use Chinese characters.
B. Japan is the neighbor of China.
C. Chinese is their second language.
D. Many Japanese are learning Chinese.
3.Which is the most difficult of Hungarian for British learners?
A. Writing. B. Pronunciation.
C. Grammar. D. Alphabet.
4.What might be the author’s opinion?
A. Chinese is the hardest language.
B. Native language is always easy to learn.
C. No languages are difficult to learn well.

Controlling your food longings and dropping pounds fast is easy: Just eat breakfast. The editors of Eat This, Not That! carried out researches to determine some best breakfast food for weight loss.
Black Beans
Protein, per 1/2 cup: 7g
Black beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers found that with black beans consumed daily, study participants’ fat reduced by 4 percent over two years.
Peanut Butter
Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7—8g
While processed peanut butter is filled with sugar and oils, the real stuff is made with just two ingredients: salt and peanuts. The peanut is filled with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Nutritionist and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger suggests using the healthy fat in an AM smoothie.
Almond Butter
Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7—8g
“Almond butter is high in protein, fiber and monounsaturated fats,” says Martha McKittrick, RDN, CDE. “Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those who avoid them, likely because it helps you feel fuller.” To get the benefits at breakfast, McKittrick suggests spreading some nut butter on the whole grain toast.
Eggs
Protein, per two large eggs: 13g
“Eggs are an excellent source of protein and other healthy nutrients including fat-burning choline(胆碱),” says McKittrick. Choline, also found in lean meats, seafood and collard greens, attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver, according to Zero Belly Cookbook. The more eggs you eat, the less egg-shaped you get.
1.Which two foods contain the same amount of protein?
A. Black beans and eggs
B. Almond butter and eggs
C. Black beans and peanut butter
D. Peanut butter and almond butter
2.How does Almond Butter help control weight?
A. It helps people sleep better B. It offers people more protein
C. It makes people feel fuller D. It makes people burn more calories
3.Which of the following foods contains fat-burning choline?
A. Shellfish B. Corn
C. Fat D. Tomatoes

Are you running a restaurant but can’t afford to hire waiters? Well, you could learn from this Japanese restaurant that hires monkeys for the job. In order to make them look more human, the restaurant owner even masks(用面具遮掩) their faces.
The restaurant is Kayabuki, which a traditional Japanese restaurant. They have hired a couple of monkeys named Yat-chan and Fuku-chan to work as waiters (or waitresses, we’re not sure). 16-year-old Yat-chan is the older of the two, but he moves quickly between tables as he takes the customers’ drink orders. Fuku-chan gives customers a hot towel and helps them clean their hands before they order their drinks, as is the custom in Japan. Believe it or not, the pair is actually certified(授予执照) by local authorities to work at the restaurant. The customers like them as well, so they give them beans as tips. One customer, Takayoshi, said, “The monkeys are actually better waiters than some really bad human ones.”
Yat-chan and Fuku-chan were once the household pets of the restaurant owner, Kaoru Otsuka. But the older one started imitating him in restaurant duties, and that was when he realized they were actually capable of working there. “Yat-chan first learned by just watching me working in the restaurant,” he said. “It all started when one day I gave him a hot towel and he brought the towel to the customer.”
Some customers even feel that the little monkeys are just like children, or even better. 62-year-old Shiochi Yano, a regular at Kayabuki, says, “Actually, they’re better. My son doesn’t listen to me, but Yat-chan will.” Customers also say that Yat-chan is able to understand exact orders and remember them. “We called out for more beer,” said one customer, “and he just brought us some beer. It’s amazing how he seems to understand human words.”
1.What can we learn about Yat-chan and Fuku-chan?
A. They both get beans as tips.
B. Fuku-chan is older than Yat-chan.
C. Yat-chan helps customers clean their hands.
D. Fuku-chan takes the customers’ drink orders.
2.According to Takayoshi, the two monkey waiters .
A. can understand exact orders
B. listen to him very carefully
C. can remember the regular customers
D. behave better than some human waiters
3.What does the underlined word, “imitating” in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. surprise B. copy
C. laugh D. frustrate
4.Why did Kaoru Otsuka let the monkeys work in the restaurant?

B. He thought monkeys worked better than humans.
C. He found his monkeys were able to work
like waiters.
D. The officials encouraged him to hire the monkeys.
