閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下列各題。

Many of you have been “bilingual talents (雙語人才)” 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 (生動的) 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.
