21、While some may complain about the possible death of the English language because of texting abbreviations like LOL, teenagers all over the world have actually kept endangered languages intact through SMS (short message service) messages.
Text messages written in regional, endangered languages by teens in Mexico and the Philippines are examples of languages reborn. Research into language renewal was carried out by Samuel Herrera, head of the linguistics laboratory at the Institute of Anthropological Research in Mexico City.
“Almost as soon as text messaging exploded on the world stage as a means to reach anyone, anywhere and anytime, young people began to find a way to make it more exclusive and develop their own code to use on the popular devices,” he wrote.
Professor Adam Michaelson, the director of the Institute for Endangered Languages of Corban University in Salem, Oregon, says that somewhere between the ages of six and twenty-five, people make a definitive decision as to whether or not they will stay or break with a language. The fact that they have taken the old and changed it into the new is something that not only makes sense, but also drives the continuation of culture. In fact, according to Dr Gregory Anderson, who is a researcher in the same department, young people need to be the ones reviving a dying language. This is, of course, the language that they will nurture and use as their own. For this reason, he has high hopes for the future.“If the language isn’t being used by their peer group, then they reject it outright,” Anderson concluded.
So, while some text messages may seem like a foreign language — like “nom nom” — some may actually be in languages considered nearly gone. Who knows, maybe Latin will become popular? Only time will tell.
【1】As soon as text messaging became popular, young people ____.
A．stopped using SMS
B．developed their own way of using it
C．changed it into something new
D．refused to abandon their own languages
【2】Dr Anderson believes that young people refuse to ____.
A．use an old language by changing it
B．use a language that is not used by their friends
C．send text messages in dying languages
D．help researchers preserve endangered languages
【3】Latin is a language ____.
A．forbidden in text messages
B．suited to communicating by SMS
C．that might grow to be fashionable
D．used at the Institute for Endangered Languages
【4】Which of the following might be a suitable title of the text?
A．Will SMS make language disappear or revive?
B．The future of language is decided by texting and teenagers.
C．Teens texting bring back languages from the edge of extinction.
D．Teenagers take responsibility for the protection of endangered languages.
22、Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.
The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David's firm releases(推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs," he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway." David added: "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."
【1】In what way is David different from people of his age?
A. He has a handsome income.

A. He has very little spare time.
B. He has no time to learn driving.
C. He is too young to get a credit card.

C. He was good at playing computer games.
D. He had learnt to use computers at school.

B. He was eager to help his mother.
C. He lost interest in school studies.
D. He wanted to earn his own living.
23、Improving your communication skills
Developing better communication habits requires several important skills that work together with each other. Some of these skills involve the way you speak or hold your body, and others are more emotionally based on interpersonal(人际关系的) skills.【1】
●Listening skills.
Clear communication starts with active listening. If you’re just focusing on how to express yourself, perhaps you are not listening or reacting to what others are bringing to the table. 【2】They pay close attention to what’s being said and make others feel heard and considered.
●Empathy(共鸣) .
【3】Empathizing means both understanding and caring for someone else’s feelings. Having high emotional intelligence and the ability of empathizing can build ties between you and others and increase your ability to communicate.
●【4】
Mastering nonverbal(非语言的) cues and signals can help prevent miscommunication and make those around you interested in signals. Pay attention to your facial expressions and body language when you are speaking with someone in a professional setting. Your nonverbal cues affect the first impression you make on someone. Maintaining eye contact, limiting hand gestures, and having good posture go a long way when meeting someone for the first time.
●Teamwork.
The ability to actively engage in team-building is vital to communication skills. 【5】The more you build strong relationships with others in the work, the more effectively you'll be able to communicate with them.
A．Appropriate facial expressions.
B．Nonverbal communication skills.
C．Different ways are applied to active communicating.
D．Here are a few skills that good communicators possess.
E．Effective communicators use a variety of listening styles.
F．Besides, consistently (始终如一地)cooperating with coworkers is important, too.
G．Being able to understand the feelings of those around you is essential to effective communicators.
24、Americans like to travel during their holidays. Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast for the next morning.
Rooms for the night in private (私人的) homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years.

Yet I found myself spending that ______ time scrolling through my social media feeds. One day, I ______ my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had ______ to a fund I had organized.

I decided to write one thank-you note for every day of that year. I had no shortage of people I was ______ for. So I picked out a different ______ for each month. January was charity — and, thankfully, I had already completed that ______.
