   Most people are poor listeners. Even when we think we are listening carefully,we usually 41 only half of what we hear,and we remember even less. Improving your listening skills can be 42 in every part of your life.

   The most important 43 of poor listening is giving in to distractions（分心的事物） and letting our thoughts 44 . Sometimes,however,we listen too 45 . We try to remember every word a speaker says,and we lose the 46 message by concentrating on details. In other situations,we may jump to conclusions and 47 a speaker without hearing out tbe message. Finally,we often judge people by their 48 or speaking manner 49 listening to what they say.

   You can 50 these poor listening habits by taking several steps. First,take listening 51 and commit yourself to becoming a better listener. Second,work at being a(n) 52 listener. Give your undivided attention to the speaker in a genuine effort to 53 her or his ideas. Third,54 distractions. Make a conscious effort to keep your mind on what the speaker is saying. Fourth,try not to be 55 by appearance or delivery. 56 preconceived(事先形成的) judgments based on a person's looks or manner of speech. Fifth,suspend (延缓.) judgment 57 you have heard the speaker's entire message. Sixth,58 your listening by paying attention to main points,to evidence,and to the speaker's techniques. Finally,develop your note-taking skills. When done 59 ,note taking is an excellent way to improve your concentration and to keep track of a speaker's 60 . It almost forces you to become a more attentive and creative listener.

   Long live language. That's the message Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and city councillor Amaijeet Sohi voiced when they declared Feb. 21 to be International Mother Language Day (IMLD) in Edmonton,the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta.

   The pair were on hand for the International and Heritage Languages Association's (IHLA) 12th annual Mother Language Day celebrations in an effort to save endangered languages.

   “Keeping languages alive is important for the richness of our culture and the diversity that strengthens Edmonton,” said Iveson.

There are nearly 7,000 unique languages spoken worldwide,but according to data from the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) half of those languages are at risk of going extinct in just a few generations.

   For example,there are currently over 3 ,000 languages spoken throughout Africa. This sounds impressive until you realize that there were over 10 ,000 languages spoken on the continent before colonization during the 19th century.

   “People who lose their language experience suffering,” said Olenka Bilash,professor of second language education at the University of Alberta. Bilash likened the loss of language to the loss of cultural identity.

   “As a multicultural society,it is very important to continue to preserve and pass on to future generations the language,culture,traditions and customs that we bring to Canada,” said IHLA president Olga Prokhorova.

   While the City of Edmonton's citizen and new arrival centre in city hall provides services in 150 languages,Bilash said research shows that “most people are still uncomfortable speaking their own language in public spaces."

   Bilash hopes the official announcement of International Mother Language Day in Edmonton — which echoes International Mother Language Day declared by UNESCO in 1999 — will be a step toward encouraging more language diversity in order to preserve the cultures tied to them.

   “Our words define us; our expressions and vocabulary define who we are as people,” said Marneen Kubinec,Alberta's minister of culture and tourism. “Our words are living examples,perhaps the best that there are,of human creativity.” 

32. The example of the languages in Africa is given to show .

   A. there’ re many languages in Africa

   B. a great number of languages became extinct

   C. Africa believes . in encouraging cultural diversity

   D. Africans are trying to save endangered languages

33. Both Bilash and Prokhorova stress the importance of .

   A. mastering more than one foreign language

   B. public policy on Canadian traditions and customs

   C. protecting languages and cultures from extinction

   D. the official announcement of IMLD by UNESCO

34. What does the underlined word “echoes” in the text mean?

   A. Suggests. B. Creates.

   C. Celebrates. D. Imitates.

35. What can we learn from Kubinec's words?

   A. Your language is your identity.

   B. Native language is disappearing.

   C. Alberta is rich in language diversity.

   D. Language can be saved by creativity.

   How did Indiana get its nickname as “The Hoosier State”? 36 There are many different theories about how the word Hoosier came to be and how it came to have such a connection with the state of Indiana.

   One of the earliest known uses of the term is found in an 1827 letter that states, “There is a trick for you — done up by a Hoosier." 37 Around this time,John Finley of Richmond wrote a poem called The Hoosier's which was widely read.

He wrote the word as “hoosher” and did not explain its meaning,which leads historians to believe that Finley felt his readers would already know and understand the word. Finley wrote, “With men of every hue and fashion,Flock to this rising ‘Hoosher’nation."

   38 In 1848,Bartlett* s Dictionary of Americanisms defined “Hoosier” as “A nickname given at the west,to natives of Indiana." In John Finley's poem,the word “Hoosher” seems to refer less to the pioneers of Indiana and more to the qualities he thought they possessed,like self-reliance and bravery.

   39 Some people think it was created to laugh at Indian訌 as a rough and backward (落后的) place.

Others think that early settlers used the term with pride to describe themselves as a courageous group. One historian,. Jacob Piatt Dunn,even suggested that the word “Hoosier” originally referred to boatmen who lived on the Indiana shore. We may never know for sure. 40

   A. So,what does the word mean?

   B. The word “Hoosier” was widely used by the 1830s.

   C. No one seems to know how the word “Hoosier” came to be.

   D. And how did people from Indiana come to be called “Hoosiers”？

   E. Other early uses provide some ideas about the meaning of the word.

   F. However,research and debate are likely to continue about this mysterious word.

   G. Some theories and stories about the origin of the word “Hoosier” are known to be false.

  A shopping center in Brazil is growing vegetables on its rooftop using waste collected from the mall's restaurants. The garden is on the roof of the Eldorado shopping center in Sao Paolo. Workers there use trash（垃圾） from the restaurants to create compost（堆肥） for the garden. Compost is used to improve the soil of the garden. A spokesman for the mall says that the waste from 10 ,000 meals served each day in its food court goes into the compost.

   Workers grow different kinds of fhiits and vegetables on the rooftop garden,including tomatoes,lettuce and eggplant. The fruits and vegetables grown there provide free food for the employees. Mall officials also hope to reduce the amount of waste that would end up in a garbage dump. This,they hope,will reduce carbon gases entering the atmosphere.

   Cicero Evangelista leads the waste recycling effort. He says about 400 kilograms of organic waste are created every day from the mair s'food court.

   He says ,“We weigh the material and add enzymes that remove bacteria,reduce humidity （湿度) and accelerate decomposition（分解）. This is how we turn organic waste into organic compost."

   Officials at the shopping center want to save as much waste as possible. So,they held workshops for employees to learn how to best collect waste from their stores. Neide Lopes is a food court worker. She says it is helpful to put in the extra work.

   “The program is active and creative,and they distribute the produce among us,so it's very good. It is a way of reducing waste,and we receive food that we don't have to pay for,and that's the best part!” 

   Mall employees say the project reuses waste food to make food and reduces the shopping center's carbon footprint(碳排放量） at the same time.
