It is calculated that some of the world's 7, 000 languages are in danger of getting extinct.“For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers remaining” said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England.The scientists found that 25 percent of the world's languages are threatened.After identifying where the endangered languages were, they looked for any environmental and social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as poor areas or rapid population growth.“We find that at the global scale, language speaker declines(减少) are strongly linked to economic growth—that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions,” Amano said.“One important finding of this new study is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local indigenous languages(本地语) with a small number of speakers, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth,” Amano said.Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons.For instance, speakers of endangered languages may viewanother more popular language as offering economic opportunities, and thus forego their own languages.“There are other important factors that might endanger languages,” the research ers said.For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment.Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast future threatsto the diversity of languages.“There exists detailed information on future changes in the environment, economies and climates,” Amano said.“Using such information, together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the world's languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.”【小题1】Why is the language of Ainu mentioned in Paragraph 1?A．To show that it is most likely to disappear in the futureB．To prove that Japanese is now seriously threatenedC．To show that few people speak Japanese in the worldD．To prove that Japanese is made up of many languages【小题2】What may endanger the languages most according to Amano?

D．Advance.【小题4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The world's languages are developing at a rapid speed.B．The study may be of use in stopping languages dying out.C．It is rather hard for us to protect the diversity of languages. D．Future threats to the diversity of languages are unpredictable.14. While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.Why isn't complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity.The brain is designed to workefficiently.This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed.Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed.This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.Yet the harmful effects don't stop there.A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马区), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger.Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lowerimmunity(免疫力).The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us.We tend to mirror the moods of our friends.For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude(感恩).Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine.Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar.It also decreases tiredness and depression.Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others? Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all over? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.【小题1】What do Para 2-3 mainly talk about?A．The diseases caused by complaining.B．The decrease of a vital part of our brain.C．The bad effects of complaining on brain power.D．The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.【小题2】What can we know about cortisol from the passage? A．Gratitude is an effective cure for Cortisol.B．Our body produce cortisol when we feel exited.C．Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.D．Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems. 【小题3】What attitude does the writer take to stubborn complainers? A．Grateful. B．Tolerant.C．Disapproving. D．Skeptical.【小题4】Where can the passage most probably appear?A．In a newspaper. B．In a medical report.C．On a website. D．In a radio program.五、七选五15. A recent report suggested that an average person checks his or her cell phone 150 times a day. 【小题1】They may not know using their cell phones may put themselves or their loved ones in danger.【小题2】At least 200,000 car accidents were caused by texting messages.【小题3】A survey done by the Pew Institute suggested that Americans in the age range of 18 to 29 years old send 88 text messages a day.

There is a much greater place to create positive emotions that will make us happier and much more fulfilled.

I think we can live a happier life if we pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with. 【小题5】 Think about what parents are doing to children’s emotional well-being when they focus on their cell phones rather than their children.If you are playing with your children in the park, be totally attentive to what they are doing.
