About eighteen thousand refugees from Burma have come to the United States each year since 2007. Some have settled in Howard County, Maryland. A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees.[26]But while the children learned the language, their parents did not. That makes communication with teachers difficult. Currently almost 50 Burmese youngsters attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School.
    Laurel Conran is a teacher there. One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang. Another student is Tha Neih’s mother, Tin Iang. Ms. Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mother’s workplace. Many Burmese refugees work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses. Laurel Conran started classes at the company to help them learn English.[27]As the Burmese workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills. They sit in small groups with an English-speaking volunteer. Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge. She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt. She helped Ms. Conran develop the lessons, which she says have really helped. "[28]When the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy. Now I find that more responsive as employees. They’re more communicative. They’re also, as parents, more involved in their children’s school. "
    Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School. He sees it as the beginning of a great partnership between a business and a school, and thinks it will benefit the greater community.
26. What problem did the Burmese parents encounter when sending their children to school in America?
27. What do the Burmese workers do during their lunch time?
28. In which way can the English lesson help the company?

选项 A、They found it difficult to communicate with teachers.
B、They found it difficult to adapt to the new environment.
C、They can’t afford the time and money that schooling takes.
D、They found it hard to send their children to school.

答案A

解析 细节题。短文中提到,一些缅甸难民在Howard County定居了下来,一所当地学校开始对难民子女教授英文,但是只有孩子们在学习,而他们的父母却没学,这就导致父母与老师交流很困难(makes communication with teachers difficult),由此可知缅甸父母很难与老师交流,故答案为[A]。
