【题目】Can you imagine a world without a writing system for your language? It may be hard to picture it now, but a man named Sequoyah lived in such a world. Sequoyah was a member of a native American tribe, the Cherokee. Cherokee people speak their own language, but for hundreds of years they did not have a system of writing. Without a writing system, the Cherokee had no newspapers or books before 1809.

Sequoyah was probably born around the year 1770 and lived with his mother in a small village in the mountains of Tennessee. When he grew up, he became a blacksmith. When he was doing business with those “English-speaking people”, he noticed that they used paper with marks to record their thoughts and ideas. Sequoyah called these pieces of paper with marks “talking leaves”. He began to wonder why people who spoke Cherokee did not have a way to write down their words.

In 1809, Sequoyah decided to give the Cherokee their own “talking leaves”. At first he tried to make a different symbol for every word in the Cherokee language. But in that case, there would be so many symbols and too hard for people to remember, so he decided to make a picture for each syllable (音节). After much hard work, Sequoyah invented 85 symbols. In order to see whether it would work, he helped his six-year-old daughter Ayoka learn each symbol and found she could learn to read and write very quickly. Sequoyah’s invention was a success!

Before long, Sequoyah’s writing system had spread far and wide. Cherokee people living in all different parts of the country learned to read and write. In 1825, Sequoyah’s system was made the official written language for Cherokee people. To this day, Cherokee speakers still use Sequoyah’s writing system. In some parts of the United States, you can see street signs and billboards written in both English and Cherokee. Sequoyah will always be remembered for his important contribution to Cherokee people.

【题目】People all over the world make edible (可食用的) homes and villages out of gingerbread (姜饼). Gingerbread can be smooth, soft bread, but if you want to build a house out of it, you make it as a cookie.

Gingerbread probably came from the Middle East or Asia. People there have been making it for over a thousand years. It is said that gingerbread arrived in Europe in the tenth century. A man named Gregory Makar brought the recipe (食谱) from Armenia to France.

Although gingerbread became popular in many parts of Europe, it really caught on in Germany. After the Brothers Grimm wrote the story of Hansel and Gretel, Germans began to make gingerbread houses. Later, when Germans moved to America, they brought this tradition with them. And it became a tradition for many Americans, especially around Christmastime.

In 1991, the city of Bergen, Norway, started a gingerbread tradition of its own. Every winter, children aged eleven and under are invited to build a city out of gingerbread.

There is also a gingerbread house competition in North Carolina, America. It’s called the National Gingerbread House Competition. Anyone aged five or older can join in.

From cookies to houses, and from Armenia to America, gingerbread has changed a lot over the past one thousand years. And people keep imagining new uses for the delicious dessert.
