This time he found that all the mud had settled (沉淀)to the bottom. the water was very clear and looked fit to drink. So he filled his water bottle and took it to the wise man.

The wise man took the water bottle and drank, then looked up at the follower. “ See what you did to make the water clean?” he said. “you let it be for a while and the mud settled down on its own, so that you could get some clear drinking water.

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981.At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English?speaking country.

Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they can't communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.

One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people around the world. You don't have to depend on others to talk for you, so you are more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.

Furthermore, speaking the second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively .Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of other culture. So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.

Finally, having more multi?language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.

The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It's even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.

1.What's the passage mainly about?

A.The benefits of learning other languages. B.The reasons why people come to America.

C.The importance of learning English. D.How to learn another language.

2.The passage begins with the experience of Vieira family in order to ________.

A.discuss the need of teaching a new language

B.introduce the passage's main characters to the readers

C.describe the advantages of moving to another country

D.show the problem of speaking only one language

3.The underlined phrase “multi?language speakers” (paragraph 5) means “people who know ________.”

A.their mother language B.a new language

C.more than one language D.baby language

4.According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can ________

A.find a better job B.make more friends

C.better understand history D.communicate more independently

5.Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?

Nowadays 3D.printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, musical instruments, model cars and so on. People and businesses are able to create the things they need in life very quickly and easily using 3D.printers

There is a 3D-printed public toilet in Sun Mountain National Forest Park, Suzhou ,Jiangsu Province, China. The green-and-wood-colored toilet has been named"little box in forest.” It covers 20 square meters. It was made from garbage using 3D.printing technology .The eco-friendly (環(huán)保)toilet was built without any metal, but it's even stronger than those built from concrete material(水泥材料)

As part of China's “toilet revolution (革命)”, the government tries to improve public toilets. Suzhou has been using the top technology in its toilet building.

At some tourist areas, tourists can scan QR codes(掃碼)with their mobile phones in order to receive 80cm toilet paper. They can scan the codes many times for more paper, but have to pay if they scan too many times. The invention can prevent toilet paper waste. The technology can help save nearly 9, 000 yuan per toilet every year.

Suzhou is also using big data( 數(shù)據(jù))technology to manage public toilets. An online service platform (平臺(tái)) has been set up for toilets in tourist areas. The platform helps users to quickly find the nearest toilet and know how many people are waiting. Users can also post comment(評(píng)價(jià)) about toilets on the platform.
