【解析】文章大意：本文介紹了漢語(yǔ)在世界其他國(guó)家越來(lái)越受歡迎，但是它是最困難的語(yǔ)言之一。
（1）句意：美國(guó)孩子正在努力學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)，你知道嗎？try to do sth努力做某事，根據(jù)句意此處用主動(dòng)形式，根據(jù)are可知此處用現(xiàn)在分詞trying。故填trying。
（2）句意：漢語(yǔ)比其他語(yǔ)言更有用。修飾名詞language，故用形容詞，故填other。

（3）句意：在許多美國(guó)城市，學(xué)生在假期或周末上漢語(yǔ)課。此處連接并列的介詞短語(yǔ)during holidays和on the weekends，故用連詞or。故填or。
（4）句意：盡管漢語(yǔ)課變得受歡迎，但是它是最困難的語(yǔ)言之一。此處連接兩個(gè)句子，表示讓步關(guān)系，故用連詞Although。故填A(yù)lthough。
