单选题   越来越多受英文教育的海外华人父母认识到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同时,通晓中文同样重要。中国的崛起让他们充分认识到孩子掌握双语的好处——既能增加他们的就业机会,也能让他们接触和熟悉东西方两种不同的文化。这些人对中文的态度几乎完全改变。曾几何时,他们还非常骄傲地宣称自己只懂英文。现在,他们已开始积极支持孩子学习中文和中国文化,而且还不时走访中国,欣赏壮观的自然风光,认识丰富的文化遗产。
 
【正确答案】An ever-growing number of Chinese parents receiving education in English-speaking countries have realized that while English learning is indispensable to their children, a good command of Chinese is also crucial for their children. China's rise has got them to realize that a mastery of two languages is beneficial to their children—on the one hand, it provides more job opportunities for them; on the other hand, it gives them an opportunity to learn and familiarize the two different cultures. They have nearly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. At one time, they took pride in their mastery of English. Nowadays, they have started to encourage their kids to learn Chinese and its culture. Furthermore, they also make occasional visits to China to appreciate the splendid natural landscapes and get to know its rich cultural heritages.
