Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. A person who is filed with his own importance and pride is said to have his nose in the air.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of realty(现实). He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is real.

The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day-dreamer.

When we have both our feet on the ground and when we are down to earth. we do not have our noses in the air. We act honestly and openly to others. Our lives are like the ground below us-solid(牢固的)and strong.

【题目】 The late president of South Africa , Nelson Mandela , once said :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.

After all, it’s the language we first hear – usually from our parents – and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced(微妙的)way through our mother language , expressing our emotions and moods more fluently . We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. We suffer bereavement(丧亲之痛)in our mother language . When we die, we know that people will mourn(哀悼)for us in our mother language .

For the people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language , it is the repository(贮藏库)of tradition . The language is their main link with their ancestors. And it’s also how they imagine the future.

So it’s a serious matter for a language to disappear. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, such as Yagan, a language from Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperilled.

Why are we humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has a lot to do with globalization. With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. It’s become more useful to speak some languages – English is the obvious example – than others. the effect has been to kill certain languages, usually ones spoken by less populous(人口众多的)and powerful peoples.

But there are people and organizations all over the world that aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on.

The United Nations recognizes this work. This is why each year on Feb 21, it holds International Mother Language Day to raise notice of dying languages, as well as praises the people who are struggling to protect them.

This work is surely important. Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going.
