阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题或翻译画线部分。
My name is Jeff. I like learning foreign languages. When I retired(退休) in 2018, I could speak three foreign languages. At that time, my
biggest wish was to learn a new one.
Later, I watched a program about Chinese culture on TV. I was so interested in it that I made the decision to learn Chinese. I found a cultural center in the north of London by chance. It offered Chinese language courses fit for me. In March 2019, I began to learn. To attend the classes, I left my home at 5 a.m. every Saturday and drove 3 hours to the cultural center. But this didn’t stop me. After class, I practiced a lot. Through learning, I developed a love for Chinese poems and joined in activities like Chinese poetry readings. I increasingly dreamed of visiting China.
My Chinese teacher Mr. Liu always mentioned “It’s better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” He suggested that I should take part in a study tour in China. So in August 2024, I visited Xi’an with my classmates of the cultural center. During the trip, as the student best at Chinese among us, I tried to act as an interpreter(口译者). I helped my classmates in many ways like asking the way and shopping in Chinese. This experience encouraged me to study further.
The British often say “Learning is lifelong pursuit(追求).”, which means “It is never too late to learn.” I will keep on learning Chinese, hoping to be a lifelong learner. I believe that learning Chinese will bring even more possibilities to my life.
17. When did Jeff begin to learn Chinese?
18. Who suggested a study tour in China?
19. What do you think of Jeff?
20. 特色考法 开放性试题 What new things will you try after reading Jeff’s story? Why?
21. 将短文中画线部分翻译成中文。
