27、 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 language spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, an 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 an the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, 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 Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalaya 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 recordings, and field notes -- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has rounded -- the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project -- Turin has started a campaign t make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, 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 and reconnected with speech communities.
【1】Many scholars are making efforts to _______.
A.promote global languages
B.rescue disappearing languages
C.search for language communities

B.Writing books on language teaching.
C.Telling stories about language users.
D.Living with the native speakers.
【3】What is Turin’s book based on?
A.The cultural studies in India. B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Bhutan. D.His personal experience in Nepal.
【4】Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?

28、 It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I’m going to college,but I need a way to pay for it” DeLuca recalls saying, “Buck said ‘You should open a sandwich shop.’”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn't cover their startup costs,Buck kicked in another $1,000.
But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months,we were doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public. ‘We are so successful,we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners' learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.” DeLuca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal.” DeLuca adds.
DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain.
【1】DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to____.
A.support his family
B.pay for his college education

D.do some research
【2】Which of the following is TRUE of Buck?______
A.He put money into the sandwich business.
B.He was a professor of business administration.
C.He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D.He rented a storefront for DeLuca.
【3】What can we learn about their first shop?_______
A.It stood at an unfavorable place.
B.It lowered the prices to promote sales.
C.It made no profits due to poor management.
D.It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.
【4】What contributes most to their success according to the author?_______
A.Learning by trial and error.
B.Making friends with suppliers.
C.Finding a good partner.
D.Opening chain stores.
29、 As we approach Father’s Day, Let’s be real about it.
Everyone needs a father to be born, but not everyone can have a father while growing up.
Some fathers are too busy; others get divorced, disappear or die.
But almost everyone should have a father image—someone who lives up to what a father should be.
A father image is a role model—someone you want to be like. He fills you with the memories that never leaves you when you grow up.
My father image was Harold, who was in his twenties when I was10 years old. I was a foster child (收养的孩子) and lived in his home with his mother.
He had dark, curly hair and always wore a beautiful suit, a shirt and a tie. What made him my role model was that he knew my darkest secrets—even stuff my real father didn't know—and he told me things no other person would tell a little boy.
Harold dressed the store windows at Gertz Department Store in Jamaiva, N. Y., and every time I went to visit him he gave me a quarter.
I wanted to be exactly like him. I even walked like him. He always called me “Kiddo”, a name I call people I like to this day.
My friends had role models like Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehring, Joe Lewis and other sports figures. I chose Harold, because he was a real person and he chose to be my mentor (指导者).
Harold, as you may have guessed, is now in Heaven ( Where else would he be?), but I think about him a lot. And whenever I have a problem, I ask myself, “What would Harold do?”
That is the reason a father role model is so important to a boy or a girl, It's a learning experience for everyone.
I guess the reason why I am writing all this is that I think there should be a Father's Day when everyone honors the person who has a lifelong impact(影响) on him. I believe every child needs just one to change his life-Happy Father's Day
【1】In the author's opinion, what should the image of a father be except______?
A.a father should be patient B.a father should tell me what is right and what is wrong
C.a father should be like sports figures D.a father should have a lifelong influence on his kid
【2】Joe DiMaggio is________?
A.his friend’s father B.a sports star C.the author’s father D.a mentor
【3】How is Harold now?
A.He is working in a department store. B.He is in Heaven now.
C.He is dead now. D.The author doesn't know where is he now.
【4】Which is not the author’s attitude towards Harold?
A.Love. B.Respect. C.Miss. D.Hate.
