their list of foreign languages or expand Chinese programs already in place.

　　“It really is almost unprecedented (无前例的). People are looking at China as a force to be reckoned with... And to ensure that the U. S. has the ability to conduct trade, and to work with the Chinese, certainly having an understanding of Chinese language and culture is an advantage，” said Marty Abbott of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages(ACTFL)．

　　To develop Chinese­language programs has not been smooth. A shortage of trained teachers

　　has made it difficult for some schools to join the race. When schools do get teachers, they often

　　hire them straight from China, and the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U. S.

　　Robert Liu remembers his first two years in an American classroom.

　　It was not an easy adjustment. “In China, students respect their teachers，” he said.

　　Liu found that American students, however, expect an active teaching style. He had to use games to engage them rather than lectures.

　　To avoid many of the problems with foreign teaching styles, the CAIS has been working with the Chinese government to improve training of teachers who are sent to the U. S.

　　文章大意：本文为一篇说明文。随着中国经济地位的增长，美国的很多学校掀起了学习汉语的热潮。
