22、Choosing a place to go when you have the opportunity to travel can sometimes be challenging. However, you can easily narrow your choices down with a thoughtful way.
Consider your interest first. 【1】 Brainstorm others that you would like to try and narrow down your destination choices by knowing exactly what you expect to be there waiting for you. Such activities could include physical pastimes, like hiking, swimming, or cultural activities, such as visiting musicians and going to theaters.
【2】 Consult online and printed publications to find places offering the experiences that you are seeking and that can accommodate the group you're traveling with (or just you). Use tourism websites, travel blogs, and travel guides to gain an idea of what is out there.
Determine your budget. Figure out exactly how much you can afford, so that you aren't breaking the bank for this trip. 【3】 Come up with a list of items that you expect to buy while traveling. With this information, you can narrow your list of preferred destinations down even further. Now that you have a certain budget, figure out how long it has to last you and determine how many days you will spend. 【4】 Besides, the number can also help to calculate more exactly how much money you are going to spend.
Compare and make the final decision. If you've narrowed your list to a couple of choices, compare the two. Apply the same criteria and find out if one seems more enjoyable. If your final choices still seem equally attracting after comparison, forget the checklist. Clear your mind, and give yourself some time. Wait to see which destination you find yourself dreaming about more. 【5】
A．Research travel destinations.
B．Here are some suggestions for you.
C．Listen to your heart and go with that.
D．Write a list of activities that you enjoy most.
E．At the same time, do research into the cost of traveling.
F．Choosing your favorite activities for yourself is very necessary.
G．Use this number to better decide which activities you want to focus on.
23、As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientists at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolingustic Introduction to the Speaker and Their Culture, grows out of his experience of living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thang-mi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recording, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved reconnected with speech communities.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Many of the stories that I read on HelpOthers are all about helping other people, doing actsof kindness for someone else. Often times it's easy to forget that no matter who you are, you're not always the giver. Sometimes it's we who receive that random act of kindness. When it happens, it almost feels odd(古怪的) to some extent that you are on the other end-receiving vs giving. In some way, it can be quite a humbling(使谦恭) experience.
My daughter and I had gone into Subway one evening to get sandwiches for the two of us, plus one for my wife. Before going to Subway, I had checked my bank account to make sure that I had money on my debit card. I had moved what I thought to be several hundred dollars to my card. Coming out in a hurry, I never confirmed the transaction and so I actually had no money in my account.
When I stepped up to cash register to pay for our sandwiches, my debit card got rejected. I stood there telling the cashier it had to be a mistake. So they ran it again. REJECTED!!! Well, I was sure most pecple have been in this isort of situation and how embarrassing it could be. Of course, there was a long line of people waiting, hearing this whole thing. Behind me, I noticed there was a young man in his mid-20's. I asked the cashier to hold the sandwiches and that I would come back for them. I went out to my car and called my son, asking him to check my account on line. Well, I learned I never actually moved the money.
I was explaining to my son what he needed to do to put money into my account when all of a sudden there was a knock at my car window. The young man who had been standing behind me in line was standing there holding a bag. I was surprised and wondered what was going on.
