阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Many of you have been “bilingual talents (双语人才)” for years. We are not talking about English, but your local dialect (方言) and putonghua.
Zhang Yaoyi, 14, from Shanghai, is such a talent. “When I was very young, I spoke the Shanghai dialect at home, but putonghua in school,” she said.
China encourages students to speak putonghua in classrooms. And students find it natural to speak putonghua even during class breaks (休息).
A report in 2011 showed that only 60 percent of Shanghai students could fully understand their local dialect. Many people are worried. “The local culture is dying if a dialect is no longer popular,” said a famous teacher. “The most vivid (生动的) words and expressions are all born of dialects,” he added. Zhang Yaoyi agrees with it. She finds it strange to use putonghua for some words.
Some cities have taken action to save dialects now. Since 2008, some primary schools in Guangzhou have asked students to speak the Guangdong dialect one day a week. Starting from this year, 20 Shanghai kindergartens have encouraged children to speak their dialect during breaks.
However, protecting dialects doesn’t mean saying no to putonghua. Dialects are just part of a multi-cultural (多元文化的) society.

American high schools have a dropout rate (辍学率) of up to 50%. There are many reasons for students leaving school:
● For two thirds of the dropouts, motivation (动力) is the problem. They can’t just work hard enough.
● Almost half of them said that they had missed so many classes that they could not follow any more.
● Many said that they were not ready well enough in their earlier school.
● For a third of them, getting a job is more important than finishing school.
High school dropouts have more problems in their future lives. They are more likely (可能的) to be out of work or live a poor life. There is also a big difference in income (收入) if you compare high school dropouts with graduates. A study shows Americans with a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) get about $50,000, those with a high school diploma about $28,000 and dropouts only about $20,000.
Many younger students do not understand the influence of dropping out of school. They often need better teachers, more lessons to get good grades in subjects and more help with learning problems. Some schools in America have changed this situation. Some schools offer evening classes or allow students to come back at a later age.
