Long live language. That's the message Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and city councillor Amaijeet 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 Heritage Languages Association's (IHLA) 12th annual Mother Language Day celebrations in an effort to save endangered languages.
“Keeping languages alive is important for the 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."
Bilash 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 Marneen Kubinec,Alberta's minister of culture and tourism. “Our words are living examples,perhaps the best that there are,of human creativity.”
32. The example of the languages in Africa is given to show .
A. there’ re many languages in Africa
B. a great number of languages became extinct
C. Africa believes . in encouraging cultural diversity
D. Africans are trying to save endangered languages
33. 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
34. What does the underlined word “echoes” in the text mean?
A. Suggests. B. Creates.
C. Celebrates. D. Imitates.
35. 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.

It is the first day of high school. And with it'so often,comes nervousness — especially for students making the leap to high school.
But inside the Theodore Roosevelt High School gym for freshman orientation (迎新會) , at least some of those nerves had turned into excitement.
Juniors and seniors were leading ninth-graders through team-building activities,then walking them through their class schedule. And before they left,students planned on exchanging phone numbers to text questions later on.
The new initiative(行動) is part of a nationally known program called Link Crew,which started at Roosevelt and was adopted as a district-wide high school program this year.
What's unique about this initiative is the yearlong focus on peer mentoring(同齡人指導(dǎo)) that goes far beyond the first few days of lockers that won’t open and classrooms that can't be found.
The idea is to build up friendships and school spirit and encourage ninth-graders to meet new friends or join activities that interest them.
Roosevelt Principal Kevin Biggs said ,“Our freshmen will be more comfortable around peers than they will be around adults."
Groups are designed so students meet individuals with different backgrounds and cultures. And they'11 continue to meet during the school year,attending a football game or school dance together.
The new program is expected to develop friendships and peer-to-peer support,from helping each other through a breakup to talking through concerns about fights with friends.
“A lot of times,students can talk to students about things that they may not feel comfortable talking to an adult about,” said Ally son Vukovich,the district's community partnership coordinator (協(xié)調(diào)者) .
“It really changes the culture within a building,” she added, “so upperclassmen find some ownership about what goes on in their school."
25. Which word can describe the feeling of the freshmen in Theodore Roosevelt High School?
A. Nervous. B. Afraid.
C. Proud. D. Excited.
26. What do we know about the new initiative?
A. It lasts through a year.
B. It is adopted throughout the US.
C. It was put forward by Kevin Biggs.
D. It paired adult mentors with freshmen.
27. What's the main purpose of the new program?
A. To develop students’ sense of responsibility.
B. To help freshmen adjust to life in high school.
C. To help students learn about different cultures.
D. To teach students how to get along with others.
28. What's Allyson Vukovich’ s attitude towards the new program?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful.
C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.

A shopping center in Brazil is growing vegetables on its rooftop using waste collected from the mall's restaurants. The garden is on the roof of the Eldorado shopping center in Sao Paolo. Workers there use trash(垃圾) from the restaurants to create compost(堆肥) for the garden. Compost is used to improve the soil of the garden. A spokesman for the mall says that the waste from 10 ,000 meals served each day in its food court goes into the compost.
Workers grow different kinds of fhiits and vegetables on the rooftop garden,including tomatoes,lettuce and eggplant. The fruits and vegetables grown there provide free food for the employees. Mall officials also hope to reduce the amount of waste that would end up in a garbage dump. This,they hope,will reduce carbon gases entering the atmosphere.
Cicero Evangelista leads the waste recycling effort. He says about 400 kilograms of organic waste are created every day from the mair s'food court.
He says ,“We weigh the material and add enzymes that remove bacteria,reduce humidity (濕度) and accelerate decomposition(分解). This is how we turn organic waste into organic compost."
Officials at the shopping center want to save as much waste as possible. So,they held workshops for employees to learn how to best collect waste from their stores. Neide Lopes is a food court worker. She says it is helpful to put in the extra work.
“The program is active and creative,and they distribute the produce among us,so it's very good. It is a way of reducing waste,and we receive food that we don't have to pay for,and that's the best part!”
Mall employees say the project reuses waste food to make food and reduces the shopping center's carbon footprint(碳排放量) at the same time.

Imagine you are a kid living in America in 1920,and your parents are too busy to cook dinner. Instead,they serve you something they are sure is just as healthy as chicken and vegetables: a chocolate bar.36 However,as recently as the 1940s,many Americans believed that candy was as nutritious as an entire meal. Today,we understand that some foods are better for us than others. You probably know that the oatmeal(燕麥粥) and fruit you wisely ate for breakfast were packed with vitamins and other nutrients. You probably know as well that those chewy candies hidden in your drawer are little more than sugar. 37
Back in the early 1900s,the science of nutrition — the study of how foods affect the body — was new. 38 But the importance of vitamins was not well understood. Many scientists believed that candy was just as healthful as steak and potatoes or fish and broccoli. 39 Ads for Milky Way suggested that each bar contained a glass of milk (not true) . There was even a popular candy bar called Chicken Dinner (which,thankfully,did not contain chicken) .
Today,we know the dangers of eating too much sugar. We also have laws that prohibit companies from creating advertisements that lie about products.
40 But most of us understand it's best left for dessert.
A. It sounds a little crazy now.
B. We still love candy,of course.
C. They are still made in a Boston factory.
D. People knew that food provided energy.
E. Candy companies wanted people to believe this too.
F. Even little kids understand that eating too much sugar is unhealthy.
G. Candy makers have continued to produce new kinds of candies to delight us.
