Let's Save Our Language Heritage
Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO holds an International Mother Language Day（IMLD）. The event is to draw attention to the disappearance of the world's languages：dozens of them are vanishing each year. UNESCO sees this as a tragedy（悲�。�, and with good reason.
What happens when a language dies out? Something huge is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people make sense of the world and communicate with each other. And it is through language that we have culture and tradition. Kill a language and all this is killed too.
Through IMLD, more people are becoming aware of the destruction of linguistic（語言學(xué)的）diversity in modern times and trying to stop it. Google's 2012 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. Speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload text, audio and video files to the project site. They want to introduce people to the wonders of the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.
The Myaamia Project is a similar kind of effort. This is an attempt to revive（重新使用）the language spoken by the Miami and Illinois tribes（部落）of the US. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which formally died out in the 1960s.
These activities, which breathe life into languages on the verge（邊緣）of extinction, might seem old-fashioned to some. But those who work to keep languages alive are not enslaved（束縛）to the past. They are enthusiastic young people who design apps and use social media to champion their activities. As the US-based social event calendar website Upcoming puts it, they“spread the word" to save the word.
So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling for our mother tongue, although those of us who speak one that is not endangered might not always be aware of it. This is why we should recall（回憶）the wise words of the late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela：“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”

【題目】 Mark Twain once said that everyone talks about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it. This was true in his day. But it may not be the cave in today’s world. In fact, humans have found many different ways to control the weather.
Cloud seeding(云催化) is a kind of technology that can control rain. It is done by spreading chemicals like dry ice or silver iodide(碘化銀) inside of clouds, either by rocket or airplane. This changes water content inside the cloud, which helps to control the rainfall, the time and even the place where it rains.
This technology has helped to solve natural disasters, such as droughts(干旱). It has also played a key role during important events. For example, China used cloud seeding in Beijing just before the 2008 Olympic Games in order to stop rain from falling during the event.
Cloud seeding has been put into use for some time, however, some scientists are still wondering whether this technology is safe. On one hand, it is believed that it might have side effects(副作用). For example, silver iodide may be bad for the environment. On the other hand, no two clouds are the same, so every new experiment introduces new conditions.
In addition to controlling rain, scientists have also tried to find ways to weaken storms and hurricanes. Scientists at the US National Hurricane Centre Headquarters think it might be possible to control hurricanes by using lasers(激光). Others believe that burning rock oil in a hurricane’s path could slow the storms down.
【1】The material above may be from a(an) ___________.
A.poemB.playC.advertisementD.magazine
【2】What can we learn about cloud seeding?
A.Cloud seeding may not be environmentally friendly.
B.Cloud seeding can solve all the problems caused by rain.
C.Cloud seeding technology is welcomed by all the scientists.
D.Cloud seeding has been in use to control storms and hurricanes.
【3】This passage is probably written to tell ___________.
A.the advantages of cloud seedingB.the importance of technology
C.the ways of controlling the weatherD.the side effects of cloud seeding

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as 【4】(usually), I noticed that my dad had totally forgotten some things that we talked 【5】(late). I was in a hurry, so our conversation was a bit short.
