I am a taxi driver. One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I found a well-dressed man dashing down the steps. He was waving to me. I waited until he jumped into the cab. “ LaGuardia Airport, please,” he said.

As always, I wondered about my passenger. “ What do you do?” “ I am in the neurology department(神经内科) at the hospital.” For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help.

“ Could I ask a favor of you?” He didn’t answer. “ I have a son, 16. He’s doing well in school. He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job?” After a pause, he said, “ The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school records.” He searched his pocket and handed me a card.

That evening, I pulled the card from my pocket. “ Robbie,” I announced proudly, “ this could be a summer job for you. Send him your school records.” He read it out loud, “ Fred Plum, New York Hospital.” “ Is this a joke?” he said in disbelief. After I shouted and threatened(恐吓) to cut off his pocket-money, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning.

Two weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum. He was to phone Plum’s secretary for an interview.

Robbie got the job. The white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was. As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation(推荐) for universities. To our delight, Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College.

It never occurred to me that a stranger should change my son’s future.

1.Who does the underlined phrase “ a well-dressed man” in the first paragraph refer to?

A. The author. B. Plum.

C. Robbie. D. A patient.

2.The author threatened to cut off Robbie’s pocket-money probably because .

A. he was tired after a day’s work

B. he didn’t earn enough money

C. Robbie was unwilling to work

D. Robbie didn’t believe what he said.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that Plum is .

A. patient and selfless

B. generous and respectful

C. kind and helpful

D. wealthy and handsome

4.What message does the passage want to tell us?

A. A stranger may change your life.

B. One must be friendly to strangers.

C. A father should be responsible for his son.

D. Doctors may have a great effect on people.

Long live language. That’s the message Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and city councilor Amarjeet 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 Heriage Languages Association’s (IHLA) 12th annual Mother Language Day celebrations in an effort to save endangered languages.

“Keeping languages alive is important for me 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.”

Bliash 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 Marueen Kubinec, Alberta’s minister of culture and tourism. “Our words are living examples, perhaps the best that there are, of human creativity.”

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

A．there’re many languages in Arica.

B．a great number of languages became extinct.

C．Africa believes in encouraging cultural diversity.

D．Africans are trying to save endangered languages.

2.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.

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

A．Suggests. B．Creates.

C．Celebrates. D．Imitates.

4.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.

The death of languages is not a new phenomenon. Languages usually have a short life span(寿命) as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.

What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial ruling caused a sharp decrease in language kinds, reducing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century.

The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting national languages. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education, the media, national governments have tried to reduce minority languages.

This process of language standardization(标准化) has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress, which have created new methods of communication that are fast, straightforward and practical. Language kinds came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism(单种语言) became an perfect choice.

More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have led to the danger to “small” languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that “no longer exists” in the modern world. It is out of the game.

The serious effects of the death of languages are clear. First of all, it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of “the first language”. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.

Multilingualism(多语种) is the most right solution. The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second. Creating a language without any links to a people’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift. A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world vision of those who speak it, their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.

1.Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?

A. Colonial conquests of Europe

B. The rise of nation-states

C. Advances in science and industrialization

D. The increase of human population

2.The underlined word “ stifles” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.

A. kills B. cheer C. creates D. improve

3.The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that_______.

A. People would fail to understand how languages started

B. Monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism

C. Language kinds would become an difficulty to globalization

D. Human brains would become less creative in languages

4.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To call people’s attention to the importance of language preservation.

B. To warn people of the negative result of globalization.

C. To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.

D. To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.

Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural and urban areas within one country.

Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

1.According to the passage, sharing bread______.

A. can help to develop unity

B. indicates a lack of food

C. is a custom unique to rural areas

D. has its roots in birthday celebrations

2.What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?

A. Trust. B. Togetherness.

C. Health. D. Success.

3.The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.

A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons

C. using examples D. describing processes

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The custom of sharing food.

B. The importance of food in culture.

C. The role of food in ceremonies.

D. The specific meaning of food.

Tony is really quick at taking notes in class, as almost every word his professor says ______ in his notebook.
