27、Experts say over half of the world’s 7,000 languages are in danger of disappearing. Every two weeks one language disappears. As the last speakers of a language die off, the valuable information contained within a language also disappears. 【1】
What would happen if you were the only person left who spoke your language? Who would you share stories with, sing songs to, or exchange jokes with? 【2】 This is the example scientists use to explain the situation of many people around the world whose local languages are disappearing.
Sometimes a language disappears immediately when the last person speaking it dies. 【3】 This happens when an official language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. This is not a new process. Official languages often represent a form of control over a group of people. Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful ethnic (种族) group spreads across a kind of culture.
【4】
So, smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in power becomes the stronger influence.
Languages contain the histories, ideas and knowledge of a culture. Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, plants and animals. Many endangered languages are spoken by native cultures in close connection with the natural world.
【5】
The Internet could be thought of as a new method of language control. The United Nations cultural organization — UNESCO, says that ninety percent of the world’s languages are not shown on the Internet.
A.Learn a language that will disappear now.
B.Or a local language might disappear more slowly.
C.That’s why endangered languages must be protected.
D.Protecting languages is very important for these reasons.
E.The more powerful culture almost never respects that of smaller groups.
F.Who would understand your names for local plants, animals and traditions?
G.Your interest in language may be changed with more languages disappearing.
28、How to Sleep Well
Get some exercise at least three hours before bed.
Go for a run, hit the gym, take long walk, or do some stretches to help you get your heart rate going before you ease into bed. 【1】 Doing this at least three hours before bed will work. If you work out shortly before bed, then you will feel more awake than ever.
【2】
If you want to make it easier for you to fall asleep, then you have to get used to falling asleep at around the same time every night and waking up around the same time every morning. That way, your body will get used to feeling more tired at the same time every night.
Stick to the fifteen-minute rule.
【3】 If you’ve been lying in bed for more than fifteen minutes and are unable to fall asleep because you’re not tired, then try something else. If you continue to lie there, your mind will continue churning, and you may even work yourself up and feel even more awake. Once fifteen minutes have passed and you’re no closer to falling asleep, do something else. Read a magazine. Pace around your room. Sit up and stare at your hands. 【4】
Think about everything you did that day.
Another way to calm your mind is to go through everything you did that day, up to the most boring little detail. Try to break it down hour by hour and see how specific you can get and how many things you can end up remembering. 【5】
A.Don’t sleep late in the morning to stick to your regular habit.
B.This will work out your body and will make you more tired.
C.Do something new and you will start to fall asleep gradually.
D.Chances are that this alone will be boring enough to put you to sleep.
E.Make your bed more comfortable.
F.This rule is simple.
G.Go to bed around the same time every night.
29、 The United States space agency will send a spacecraft to explore the sun more closely than ever before on Saturday. NASA'S Parker Solar Probe(探测器)will fly through the hot solar atmosphere and come within just 6 million kilometers of the sun's surface.
The Parker Probe will get almost seven times closer to the sun than earlier spacecraft. To do this, it will fly past Venus(金星)seven times over seven years. Each pass will change the probe's orbit by providing a gravity push. It will move ever closer to the sun and straight into the corona(日冕), the sun's outermost atmosphere.
By exploring the sun's corona, scientists hope to learn why it is hundreds of times hotter than the sun's surface. They will also study what drives the solar wind.
The project was proposed in 1958, the same year NASA was established. Now, "it's becoming a reality," said project manager Andy Driesman.
The Parker spacecraft has a 2.4 meter heat shield(护罩)that is 11 centimeters thick. It is made of two carbon sheets. The front has a white coating to reflect sunlight. It is expected to shine red when it experiences the extreme solar heat. Almost everything on the spacecraft will be behind this shield to keep its scientific instruments relatively cool.
Besides, the spacecraft will also be traveling at a high speed. The probe will reach 690,000 kilometers per hour in the corona. The spacecraft will make its first flight past Venus in early October. Its first pass by the sun is expected in November.
The Parker Solar Probe is the first NASA spacecraft to be named after someone who is still alive. Eugene Parker is a 91-year-old professor at the University of Chicago. He predicted the existence of solar wind 60 years ago. He plans to be at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in the southern state of Florida to see the launch.
【1】What's the advantage of the Parker Probe compared to the earlier ones?
A.It can change the orbit by flying past the sun.
B.It can get closer to the sun and into the corona.
C.It can study the effect of solar wind.
D.It can fly through the hot solar atmosphere without protection.
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Human had little achievements in exploring the sun.
B.Eugene Parker is the first one to study the sun.
C.The Parker Probe has to get close to the sun with the help of Venus.
D.Human can get close to the sun's surface within 6 million kilometers today.
【3】What can we learn about Eugene Parker?
A.He started NASA.
B.He foresaw the solar wind when he was 31.
C.He designed the Parker spacecraft.
D.He will study the sun using the Parker spacecraft.
【4】Judging from the content, the passage most probably belongs to .
A.a story book B.an advertisement
C.a science fiction D.a news report
