7．Just 50years ago Manx seemed to be on the point of disappearing．"If you spoke Manx in a pub on the island in the 1960s，it was considered provocative（挑衅的） and you were likely to find yourself in a fight，"recalls Brian Stowell，a 76-year-old islander who has written a Manx-language novel，The Vampire Murders，and presents a radio show on Manx Radio spreading the language every Sunday．
The language itself is similar to the Gaelic tongues spoken in the island's neighbours，Ireland and Scotland．A century ago，"Moghrey mie"would have been commonly heard instead of good morning on the island．
"In the 1860s there were thousands of Manx people who couldn't speak English，"says Stowell．"But only a century later it was considered to be so backwards to speak the language that there were stories of Manx speakers getting stones thrown at them in the towns．"I learnt it myself from one of the last surviving native speakers back in the 1950s．"
Recession（经济衰退） in the mid 19th Century forced many Manx residents to leave the island to seek work in England．And parents were not willing to pass the language down through the generations，with many believing that to have Manx as a first language would affect job opportunities overseas．
There was a fall in the language．By the early 1960s there were perhaps as few as 200who spoke the tongue．The last native speaker，Ned Maddrell，died in 1974．Unesco（联合国教科文组织） pronounced the language died out in the 1990s．
Now there is even a Manx language primary school in which all subjects are taught in the language，with more than 60pupils attending．Manx is also taught in other schools across the island．
9．What does"Moghrey mie"mean according to the passage？D
A．All the best．
B．Congratulations．
C．Never mind．
D．Good morning．
10．Many Manx people went to England toC．
A．learn Manx    
B．teach English     
C．look for jobs     
D．attend college
11．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．The Manx language．
B．The life of Manx people
C．The Manx island．
D．The Manx language school．
8．Suppose you're in a rush，feeling tired，not paying attention to your screen，and you send an email that could get you in trouble．
Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked"send"．You freeze in horror and burn with shame．
What to do？Here are four common email accidents，and how to recover．
Clicking"send"too soon
Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet．Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored．
Writing the wrong name
The sooner you notice，the better．Respond quickly and briefly，apologising for your mistake．Keep the tone measured：don't handle it too lightly，as people can be offended，especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture（i．e．incorrect ordering of Chinese names）．
Clicking"reply all"unintentionally
You accidentally reveal（透露）to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner，or what holiday you'd like to take．In this instance，the best solution is to send a quick，light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness．But it can quickly rise to something worse，when everyone starts hitting"reply all"to join in a long and unpleasant conversation．In this instance，step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down．
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger．You write an unkind message about someone，intending to send it to a friend，but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing．In that case，ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry．Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly-see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person．

36．After realising an email accident，you are likely to feelC．
A．curious     B．tired     C．awful    D．funny
37．If you have written the wrong name in an email，it is best toA．
A．apologise in a serious manner
B．tell the receiver to ignore the error
C．learn to write the name correctly
D．send a short notice to everyone

A．Try offering other choices．
B．Avoid further involvement．
C．Meet other staff members．
D．Make a light-hearted apology．
39．How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email？D
A．By promising not to offend the receiver again．
B．By seeking support from the receiver's friends．
C．By asking the receiver to control his anger．
D．By talking to the receiver face to face．
40．What is the passage mainly about？C
A．Defining email errors．
B．Reducing email mistakes．
C．Handling email accidents．
D．Improving email writing．

Cooking from Scratch W11 Change Your Life

Cooking from scratch is more than just making fresh food to eat. Your relationship to food will be transformed the more you handle ingredients(原料)and turn them into delicious recipes.

1. 1.

Instead of rushing through the grocery store looking for things that can be easily reheated into easy meals, you start paying attention to ingredients. You learn how to read food labels and ingredient lists, figuring out what’s in the products you buy.

2. You begin to taste food differently.

All food, whether prepared from scratch or eaten in a restaurant # tastes different after you learn how to cook—because now you know what goes into creating a dish. 2.

3. You start to see your body in a different way.

The connection between what you put into your body and how it makes you feel becomes clearer, once you’re making the food yourself. 3.

4. You can control everything that goes into your food.

4. I there are things to which you’re sensitive or allergic, or simply do not like, you can leave those out. You’re the boss in your own kitchen. You can make your favorite foods over and over again.

5. You create balance in your life.

This is my most favorite point of all. After working all day and caring for a busy young family, there is something comforting and calming about the act of cooking. 5. It’s my fun, hands-on creative time.

A. This is hugely liberating.

B. You learn how to do grocery shopping.

C. You choose to buy organic food for health.

D. Eating home-made food contributes to a good life.

E. I love escaping to the kitchen for an hour to prepare dinner.

F. You star looking for inspiration for how to recreate those tastes at home.

G.. Meals are planned from the bottom up # making you more interested in healthy food.
3．By the logic（逻辑）of geography，the continent of Australia should have been populated with Asians．Instead，by an accident of history，Australia has been mainly populated with Westerners．
Sadly，no major Australian newspaper or expert commented．This made me aware that Australians are reluctant to face Australia's painful new geopolitical realities．
Against this background，the release of the Asian Century White Paper is timely．It should provide a sharp wake-up call to the Australian population that Australia's destiny（命运）is now firmly tied to Asia．Julia Gillard is right in saying，"The transformation of the Asian region into the economic powerhouse of the world is not only unstoppable，it is gathering pace．"
One truly impressive part of the paper is the data it provides on Asia's rise．It notes，for example，that"in the past 20 years，China and India have almost tripled（增三倍）their share of the global economy and increased their economic size almost six times over．By 2025，the region as a whole will account for almost half the world's output．"
In this Asian century，as Western power gets weak steadily，Australia will be left"beached"alone as the only Western country （together with New Zealand） in Asia．Twenty-two million Australians will have to learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians with great care and sensitivity．
Ignorance（无知）about Asia could prove to be fatal（致命的）for Australia's long-term future．This is why the report is right in focusing on Australian misunderstanding of Asia．
Sadly，this kind of terrible ignorance may be a result of Australian education．The report says，"Only a small proportion of Year 12 students study anything about Asia in the subjects of history，literature，geography，economics，politics and the arts under existing state-based curriculums．"Worse，only 5 per cent of each Australian groups study any kind of Asian language．
Learning Asian languages would open windows to Asian cultural and political sensitivities．The time for Australians to think deeply about their Asian destiny has arrived．The sooner Australia adjusts to its new Asian destiny，the less painful the adjustment will prove to be．
Title：It's （66）timeto accept our place in Asian region
（67）Background（68）Geographicallyspeaking，Australia is close to Asia，yet few Australians are willing to face Australia's new geopolitical （69）realities．
Release of the white paper  Aim：To tell Australians that their （70）destinydefinitely has much to do with Asia．
Cause：Asia has （71）become the economic powerhouse of the world．
（72）Data：China and India have tripled their share of the global economy and the region will account for half the world's output by 2025． 
Writer's opinionsAustralians will be lonely if they don't learn to deal with 3.5 billion Asians．
Australian （73）education，in part，is responsible for their ignorance about Asia． 
It's right for the paper to （74）focuson Australian misunderstanding of Asia．   
It's high time that Asia languages were （75）taught to Australian children．    
4．______our arriving at the airport，we were given a warm welcome by the local people．（　　）
A．WithB．As soon asC．UponD．Until
