问题     One of the latest trend(趋势)in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4, 000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.
    "I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age" Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. " I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future, " After only six months of being cared by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
    Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. " Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture(文化), " she says.
    " Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom, " says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. " But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12. "
    The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.
Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them______.
选项 A、to live in China some day
B、to speak the language at home
C、to catch up with other children
D、to learn about the Chinese culture
答案D
解析 根据文章第三段中的“Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children tokeep exposed to the language and culture”可知，Li Drake和她的丈夫都希望孩子能接触中国语言和文化。故答案为D。
