I have always been interested in making things. When I was a child, I enjoyed drawing, but I also liked making things out of clay(粘土). I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That may be why I went to art school four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery(制陶). I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay. I'm happy working by myself and being near my home. I don't like mass-produced(集体生产)things, because they are made by machines. I think crafts(手工艺) are very important and crafts-people make things cleverly with hands. They make our lives colorful. When I left school, I got some money. I hope to become a full-time crafts-woman. This work-place is small, but I wish to move to a larger one next year.

6．As more and more people speak the global languages of English，Chinese，Spanish，and Arabic，other languages are rapidly disappearing．In fact，half of the 6，000-7，000languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century，according to the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization （UNESCO）．
In an effort to prevent language loss，scholars from a number of organizations----UNESCO and National Geographic among them----have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect．
Mark Turin，a scientist at the Macmillan Center，Yale University，who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas，is following in that tradition．His recently published book，A grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，working，and raising a family in a village in Nepal．
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin，who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India，Nepal，Bhutan，and China．But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record．
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials----including photographs，films，tape recordings，and field notes----which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection．
Now，through the two organizations that he has founded----the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project----Turin has started a campaign to make such documents，found in libraries and stores around the world，available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected．Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities．

32．Many scholars are making efforts toB．
A．promote global language
B．rescue disappearing languages
C．search for language communities
D．set up language research organizations
33．What does"that tradition"in Paragraph 3refer to？A
A．Having full records of the languages．
B．Writing books on language teaching．
C．Telling stories about language users．
D．Living with the native speakers．
34．What is Turin's book based on？D
A．The cultural studies in India．
B．The documents available at Yale．
C．His language research in Bhutan．
D．His personal experience in Nepal．
35．Which of the following best describes Turin's work？D
A．Write，sell and donate．
B．Record，repair and reward．
C．Design，experiment and report．
D．Collect，protect and reconnect．
13．The  internet will open up new vistas （前景），creat the global village--you can make new friends all around the world．That，at least，is what it promised us．The difficulty is that
    It did not take the human mind into account．The reality is that we cannot keep relationship than a limited number of people．No matter how hard the internet tries to put
    You in communication，its best efforts will be defeated by your mind．
    The problem is twofold（双重的）．First，there is a limit on the number of people we can hole in mind and have a meaningful relationship with．That number is about 150and is set by the size of our brain．Second，the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest （投入） in then．We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what's left among as many others as we can．The problem is that if we invest little time in a person，our engagementwith that person will decline （减弱）until eventually it dies into"someone I once knew"．
    This is not，of course，to say that the internet doesn't serve a socially valuable function．Of course it does．But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world，but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to more to the other side of the world．
     In one sense，that's a good thing．But it also has a disadvantage．If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then，then certainly you aren't using your time to make new friends where you now live．And I suspect that probably isn't the best use of your time．Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other，face to face．The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end，but it won't stop that happening eventually．

72．What is stressed in the first paragraph？D
A．The present situation of the internet．
B．The difficulty in communication on the internet．
C．The socially valuable function of the internet．
D．The role of the human mind in the internet communication．
73．The underlined word"engagement"in the second paragraph probably means"B"．
A．appointment   B．connection   C．interview    D．agreement
74．According to the passenger，the author holds the view thatA．
A．the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promised
B．the internet determines the quality of social relationships
C．the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D．the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
75．What is the author's attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships？D
A．He is uncertain about it．  B．He is hopeful of it．
C．He approves of it．         D．He doubts it．
