In Spain（西班牙）, it39。s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9:00 p. m. In Saudi Arabia（沙特阿拉伯）, men kiss one another on the cheek. Your host may wele you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite of you to do the same. In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don39。t put it into your pocket（口袋）as soon as you get it.

The most popular way to teach young children another language is called immersion （沉浸式語言教學(xué)法）. Children in the immersion program hear only the new language in the classroom. The children play games, sing songs and talk to one another in the new language. Some experts （家） say the immersion program is the most effective （有效的） for young children to learn a language. But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age. Not many elementary schools continue to teach a foreign language. Only seven of the fifty states require （要求） schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve. Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language. Still, American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary school. By then, students are about thirteen years old. American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs. The government has increased support for foreign language study in its Education Law called No Child Left Behind. At college, the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages and more languages are being studied now. Spanish is the most widely taught at American colleges and universities. French, German, Chinese and Italian are also popular.（1）Where is Spanish the most widely taught?
