There are about 6,000 languages that are spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are

dying out, according to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

，联合国教科文组

织

).If no action is taken

，

some of these languages will become extinct (

灭绝的

).

Languages become endangered for many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the

endangered languages no longer exist (

存在

)

，

HuffPost reported. These people leave their communities and move to

cities or towns.

In addition

，

the languages of “dominant (

占主导地位的）

” cultures may drive other languages into extinction. To get

better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant languages rather than their

own languages. Dominant languages include English

，

French and Mandarin (

普通话

).

Once a language dies, it rarely conies back to life. Governments across the globe are taking action to prevent this.

In September, the US state of Alaska announced that the loss of indigenous (

土著的）

languages was an“emergency”(

紧急

事件

). It is now working to give new life to such languages, Quartz reported.

In New Zealand

，

the government has said it wants over 20 percent of the country’s population to be able to speak

Maori, an indigenous language, by 2040. It plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025, The New

York Times reported.

China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, even more than the number

of ethnic groups in the country. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages spoken in China,

Xinhua reported. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors (

专业）

for their

students.

China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes

to pigs, we have somehow reached an agreement—that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.

Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the likes of “Boiling a dead pig” and “A

pig looking in the mirror is still a pig”. And in English, there are expressions such as “eating like a pig” and “sweating

like a pig”. None of them are exactly praise.

But truth is that pigs do have some fine qualities. And maybe there’s no better time to clear their names than now,

with the arrival of Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival.

For starters, science had proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a paper published last year in the

International Journal of Comparative Psychology, pigs are “mentally and socially similar to dogs and chimpanzees(

黑猩

猩

)”. By training, pigs can learn some skills, such as dancing and swimming. They like to play. They have good

long-term memories. And they can tell between who treat them well and those who don’t.

There are popular pig characters in cartoons too. In the UK cartoon series Peppa Pig, the four members of the

cartoon’s pig family teach children from all over the world about love, friendship, and the value of family. And in China,

the adventures of McDull, a piglet who works hard toward his dreams even though he keeps failing, have been

recounted in films since 2001. “People care too much about the immediate results, but McDull is slow and patient, and

not afraid of repeating failure,” said McDull’s creator Brain Tse. “He has a heart of gold.”

Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in heart when we celebrate the New Year—their wisdom, cuteness,

patience and bravery.

Have you ever thought about seeing the world for free? Although it may sound impossible, there’s a growing

community that is making that dream one step closer.

The community is called Couchsurfing. The idea is that people open their homes up to travelers for free, and in

exchange both people will learn from each other.

Instead of paying a lot of money staying in hotels, living with locals is both cheap and authentic(

正宗的

). Maybe you’ll

find a hidden attraction in the city. It may be a good place where people like to visit. This is also your chance to ask what

life in their country is really like.

It also works as a culture exchange. For example

，

if you play the guitar and your host is a great cook, teach him or her

how to play to say thank you for the dinner. This type of exchange is popular.

But what are some manners of being a good Couchsurfer? First, be careful about cultural taboos(

禁忌

). For example, if

you eat with Indians, never use your left hand. In Indian culture, left hands are used for the toilet. Also, when you are

going to leave, it’s a good idea to prepare a small gift. This shows your______to the home owner.

Now, are you ready to travel like a local? Where will you surf first?

According to the passage, what’s the Couchsurfing?

A

C

D

．

Take the travelers to some places in the city for free.

A

．客气

B

．准备

C

．感激

D

．欣赏

．

What should we do if we eat with Indians?

A

．

For Iris Grace Halmshaw, the world was a lonely place. The autistic (

自闭症的

) five-year-old girl tried to speak, and

she was often thrown into pain by the world around her. She filled her days with painting, and nothing could quite

change this situation. Until, that was, a cat called Thula came along.

The pair are now inseparable (

形影不离的

). Iris’ parents believe the gentle cat is helping their little girl communicate

with others, as well as influencing her works of art. In the beginning, they thought it was justcoincidence, but now they

believe Iris is expressing her love for Thula through her painting. Mother said, “When Iris is painting, Thula is told by

her to “sit down” if she jumps up onto the table. She stays there, watching Iris with great interest, sometimes wanting to

play with the brushes, but mostly just patiently watching.”

And the pair’s bond (

联系

) doesn’t end there. Thula is at Iris’ side for every part of her life. The pair’s closeness is

having an effect on Iris’ relationships with others, and her parents find it easier to encourage her to talk to others. After

researching the advantages of animal therapy for autistic children, the couple had tried introducing Iris to horses, dogs

and even other cats with no success --- but things changed when Thula came to live with the family. During weeks, the

cat was helping to comfort the little girl in times of stress.

Mother said, “It was as if they were old friends from the day they met. Thanks to Thula, new doorways to
