Of the 7,000 languages spoken in the world today, linguists (語言學(xué)家) say, nearly half are likely to disappear this century. In fact, one falls out of use about every two weeks.
Some languages die out in an instant, at the death of the only surviving speaker. Others are lost gradually in bilingual (雙語的) cultures, as local tongues are edged out by the dominant (占主導(dǎo)地位的) language at school, in the marketplace and on television.
New research, supported by the National Geographic Society and the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages, has found the five regions where languages are disappearing most rapidly. They are northern Australia, central South America, North America's upper Pacific coastal zone, eastern Siberia, and Oklahoma and the southwestern United States.
K. David Harrison, an associate professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College, US, said that more than half the languages had no written form and were vulnerable to loss and being forgotten." Their loss leaves no dictionary, no text, or no record of the accumulated knowledge and history of a disappeared culture.
Harrison and other researchers started their rescue project last year. They have been trying to identify and record endangered languages. They interviewed and made recordings of the few remaining speakers of a language and collected basic word lists. The individual projects, some lasting three to four years, involve hundreds of hours of recording speech, developing grammar and preparing children's readers in the obscure (逐漸沒落的) language. The research has concentrated on preserving entire language families.
"These are probably languages that cannot be brought back, but at least we made records of them," said Gregory Anderson, director of the Living Tongues Institute, in Oregon, US.
【小題1】What does the passage mainly tell us?          

A．Many languages are quickly disappearing.
B．Some languages are disappearing because they are hard to remember.
C．Chinese is one of the languages that are disappearing.
D．Thanks to some researchers, many endangered languages have been rescued.
【小題2】What does the word vulnerable in the fourth paragraph mean?  
A．easy to remember.B．easy to forget.
C．likely to be damaged.D．likely to be protected.
【小題3】Which of the following is true according to the fifth paragraph?  
A．Harrison and other researchers are trying to find out why some languages died out.
B．Harrison and other researchers tried to start a rescue project.
C．Harrison and other researchers have concentrated on preserving all the languages.
D．Harrison and other researchers have done some rescue work on the obscure languages.
【小題4】One of the things that Harrison and other researchers did was         .   
A．to have more people speak the disappearing language
B．to make records of the disappearing language
C．to limit dominant languages
D．to publish a dictionary of the disappearing language
【小題5】What do you think is the suggested reason for some languages disappearing?     
A．Local tongues are gradually edged out by the dominant language at school, in the marketplace and on television.
B．The number of people who speak the languages are small.
C．There are no dictionaries for the languages.
D．No one make records of the languages, so they gradually disappear.

For more than ten years John Grimshaw has been pioneering a gentle revolution. He aims to get us going by bike on Britain’s network of disused railways. He works as an engineer for Sustrans, a Bristol-based charity.[來源:Z。xx。k.Com]
He believes that there is no benefit or logic behind the building of bigger and faster roads that only encourage people to use cars more extravagantly(過分地). Britain’s roads being built ignore all but the motorists while miles of railway tracks no longer used by trains lie wasted.
His organization started work in 1994 with a modest five mile track from Bristol to Bath, and cyclists and walkers now make a million journeys a year on the path. Sustrans has since completed a further 150 miles throughout Britain with the help of volunteer workers.
Building such paths is not easy or cheap. Sustrans buys or leases(租借) land from British Rail and the paths can cost from 6,000 pounds up to 8, 0000 pounds per kilometer to build. Money comes from central and local government, charity bodies and gifts from individuals.
To encourage more walkers and cyclists along its paths, Sustrans plans to construct a work of art on every mile of path it builds. Most of their tracks quickly transport people from the city to the countryside. The latest route runs from the heart of Glasgow to Loch Lomond. Relics (遺跡)of the great railway age litter the routes—station houses, signals boxes and even steam trains.
Some might consider John Grimshaw a traveler from the past, out of touch with the modern world, but for many he is preparing the way for an alternative for a car-mad world.
【小題1】The aim of Sustrans is to _________.
a. encourage people to use cars more efficiently
b. use old railway lines for leisure purposes
c. provide a cycling network across Britain
d. build better and faster roads[來源:Z.xx.k.Com]
【小題2】How does Sustrans finance its work?
a. with a mixture of money from the government and donations
b. with money from British Rail
c. by leasing its land
d. by using volunteer workers
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE?
a. Sustrans will not build any more tracks after Glasgow to Loch Lomond
b. Sustrans will have to clear the track of relics
c. Sustrans makes the countryside more accessible to the public
d. Sustrans believes more drivers will use their tracks.

In Greek mythology（神話）, the gods punished Sisyphus by forcing him to roll a rock up a steep hill for eternity（來世）. But he was probably better off than if they’d forced him to sit and stare into space until the end of time, conclude the authors of a new study on keeping busy. They found that people who have something to do, even something pointless, are happier than people who sit around.
“The general phenomenon I’m interested in is why people are too busy doing what they are doing in modern society,” says Christopher K. Hsee, of the University of Chicago. “People are running around, working hard, the way beyond the basic level.” Sure, there are reasons, like making a living, earning money, and so on. But, Hsee says, “I think there’s something deeper: We have extra energy and we want to avoid idleness.”
In a study 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. Not everyone chose to go to the faraway location. Two-thirds chose the lazy option. Yet those who chose to stay busy by going to the faraway location were found to be happier than those who had stayed put.
But if the chocolate bars offered at the  two locations were different, they were more likely to choose the far location—because they could make up a good and acceptable reason for the trip, Hsee and his colleagues say.
Hsee thinks it may be possible to use this principle—people like being busy, and they like being able to show being busy right or reasonable—to benefit society. “If we can find a way for idle people to engage in activity that is at least not harmful, I think it is better than destructive business,” he says. Hsee himself has been known to  give a research assistant a useless task when he doesn’t have anything to do, so he isn’t sitting around the office getting bored and depressed.
【小題1】The author starts the passage with the Greek mythology story to ________.

A．make it easier to understand the passage
B．draw readers’ attention to Greek culture
C．show Greek people enjoyed being busy
D．bring about the subject of the passage
【小題2】According to Hsee, people are busy in modern society because they want to _________.
A．make others think they are not lazy
B．keep their energy at the basic level
C．earn more money to support their family
D．a(chǎn)void the state of having nothing to do
【小題3】The underlined phrase “stayed put” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A．remained thereB．kept occupiedC．got aroundD．stayed awake
【小題4】How does Hsee’s assistant probably feel while performing a task?
A．Blue.B．Empty.C．Contented.D．Trapped.

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly.

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week late.”
