The "invasion(人侵) ”of English words into the Chinese language must be stopped,the country's senior translator says.
Huang Youyi? of the International Federation of Translators,one of the country's largest publishers,says words such as OK， bye-bye? nice,modern and guitar are coming into everyday Chinese and causing problems. Mr Huang said, "If we do not pay attention and if we do not take measures to stop Chi?nese being mixed with English,Chinese will no longer be a pure language. For example, the words DV D.MP3 and CEO are used often in Chinese... But these imported terms can cause confusion.”
Mr Huang fears the increasing flow of English words into Chinese conver?sation could endanger the language. "In the long run,Chinese will lose its role as an independent language for communicating information and expressing hu?man feelings," he said.
China has struggled to integrate the flow of Western culture as it has opened up and modernized. Only 20 foreign films are allowed to be screened in cinemas each year,and a lot of websites, including YouTube,Facebook and Twitter,have been banned. But Western brands(品牌) have spread widely,English-language television shows are widely available and many students want to study English.
Mr Huang said, "Some of our people think that using foreign words is a sign of being open-minded and international. I do not think so. Instead,we should have confidence in our own language. You cannot expect others to re?spect you unless you respect yourself.”
But Gu Yueguo,of the Institute of Linguistics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences,said,"If we cleaned out all the borrowed words,less than half of modern Chinese would be left. Borrowing words from other languages is happening all over the world. It is a positive sign of cultural exchange and as-similation(吸收) .There is no way that China can close the door.”
1.Huang Youyi may agree that ,
A.more English words should be brought into Chinese
B.foreign words are seldom used in everyday Chinese
C.Chinese should remain an independent language
D.the mixing of languages should be encouraged

B.More foreign students studying in China.
C.English becoming popular in China.
D.The wide spread of Western brands.
4.According to Gu Yueguo,we can know that .

Although international students want to dive into American culture, it is easier to stay close to the familiar.
"Most international students told me that they want to meet and make friends with as many Americans as they can," said Mark Galloway, a student adviser of Institute for International Studies(IIS) at Murray State University. "But in reality, they are comfortable with being around people from their own country, if possible.”
Testing of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is an admission (A 學) test for international students enrolling in American universities. Gallo?way said students' scores decreased when they spent less time with American students.
More than 450 international students are on campus at Murray State Uni?versity. Thailand,Japan, South Korea,China and Germany are the countries with the most students this semester,according to an IIS report.
Wichien Eampromate,president of Thai Student Association,said poor English ability and cultural differences make it difficult for Thai students to spend time with Americans.
"We eat different things;we do different kinds of things," said Eampro-mate. On the other hand, Joon-Seong Bae,an exchange student from Korea University,said he tries to avoid hanging around with other Koreans. But it is not easy for him. He said he is less comfortable with Americans because he cannot say everything he wants to say,and not all Americans are patient with his limited English.
"There were two or three Americans and me," Bae said. "We talked a-bout something. As time went by,I was kind of excluded(排斥在外的) be?cause they talked to each other. " While international students venture outside their comfort zones, American students also have the opportunity to be ex?posed to other cultures.
"I know there are a lot(of American students) who want to get to know-international students," said Philip Lee,a senior from Boonville,Indiana. "They are just uncomfortable.”Lee said he has learnt about life from his in?ternational friends, although it is sometimes a challenge. "I can't live a com?fortable life all the time, " Lee said. "I realized there is great benefit of step?ping out of my comfort zone to meet people.”
