Every 14 days, another language dies． There are many reasons for this． Some people think more common languages have more economic（经济的） power． Because of this, young people choose to learn a common language as they think it is more useful． Another reason is that some languages aren't written down． Guujaaw is a leader of the Haida Nation, whose people have lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, for more than 10, 000 years． Their language is endangered． Traditionally, it wasn't written down, and, as a result, some people are worried that it will die one day． Guujaaw replies to this," We talk to each other,listen, visit, and believe in the spoken word． Expressing yourself without writing is natural．" However, if Guujaaw's language and others like it are going to stay alive, writing may have to become part of their lives．
When a language dies, a lot of knowledge dies with it． To begin with, language is a huge part of the culture of the people who speak it． Language allows speakers to say certain things： words that describe a cultural idea may not translate exactly into another language． Furthermore, many endangered languages have rich spoken cultures． Stories, songs and histories are passed on from older people to younger generations （一代）． Elizabeth Lindsey, an expert in languages , emphasizes（强调）this．" When an elder dies, a library is burned," she says．
Also, language death affects our knowledge about nature． Local people often have a deep understanding of plants, animals, and the relationship between them． David Harrison, a researcher on endangered languages, reflects,"80% of plant and animal species（物种） have been undiscovered by science．But that doesn't mean they're unknown to humans．"
Many languages are endangered． However, it's not too late． Children often grow up speaking two languages．"No one…becomes richer by giving up.. one language to learn another, "Harrison said． If children feel both languages are important, they will use both．So, it is necessary that children realize how useful their local language is．
（1）How many reasons are mentioned for endangered languages in Paragraph 1？
A．2．
B．3．
C．4．
D．5．
（2）In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us ．
A． how cultures are passed on
B． how cultures are discovered
C． why languages are written down
D． why languages are important to cultures
（3）The underlined word" affects" in the passage means" "．
A． waits for
B． depends on
C． is different from
D． has an influence on
（4）Which of the following is the writers opinion ？
A． People need to use common languages more often．
B． The spoken word is more important than the written word．
C． Children are the hope to stop the local language from dying．
D． Many animals and plants are in danger because of dying languages．
China has named the nation's first Mars rover（火星车）Zhu Rong.For all of us，Zhu Rong is a well﹣suited name.
In an ancient Chinese story，Zhu Rong had the face of a man and the body of an animal.He rode on two dragons.When he had a big fight with Gong Gong，the god of water，Zhu Rong won.But after the fight，the human world came into complete darkness.Then he brought fire from heaven（天国）to the world.

After leaving the earth last summer，Zhu Rong circled Mars for several months and landed on it in May.In recent years，our country has sent up the world's first quantum satellite（量子卫星），and Chang'e﹣4 has made a soft landing on the moon.We have made great progress in space technology and will soon start building our own space station.

The first emperor of China，Qin Shihuang，completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.，he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers（士兵）.These，he hoped，would protect his tomb after his death.
Lost in Time
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown，but they weren't always.They began as an army of red，blue，yellow，green，white，and purple.Sadly，most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed（暴露）to air during digging，the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg，taking away with it important pieces of history.
New Technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists（考古学家）have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features，including black hair，pink faces，and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid（液体）to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece，archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.
Back to Life
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt，so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece， "says Rong Bo，the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge，says Rong Bo，is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens，artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full，bright colors.

A.The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

B.Artists.
C.Researchers.
D.Soldier.
（3）Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree？
A.The soldiers should stay in their present，brown color.
B.People should try to bring back the army's bright colors.
C.Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers' true colors.
D.Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.
Have you ever imagined the life in space？The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.
• Eating in space
If you go camping for more than a week with some friends，you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly.At the end of your camping trip，you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.
Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space.Preparation changes with the food type.Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms，such as chocolate cakes and fruits.Other foods require adding water，such as cheese.Of course，an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food.But there are no fridges，so space food must be kept properly.
• Sleeping in space
After a long day at work，nothing is better than a good night's sleep!Just like on the earth，in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time，then get up and prepare for work again.When going to sleep，they have to attachthemselves，so they don't float （漂浮） around or hit their bodies against something.They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins （乘员舱）.Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person.Generally，astronauts have an eight﹣hour sleep each day when they finish their task.
• Doing sports in space
Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss （肌肉萎缩）.Usually，astronauts exercise two hours every day.Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.But lifting that same object in space would be much easier.That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed，so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.
Living in space is not just all work and no play.Astronauts have fun，too.They like to look out the window and play with their food.Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

The company Alibaba uses AI technology in its unmanned supermarket in Wuzhen． There is no salesperson in the supermarket， just a tablet on a desk that says"please smile"． （2） The bigger your smile is， the more discounts（折扣） you will get． Payment is done automatically（自动地） through your Alipay（支付宝）account． When you first enter the supermarket， the supermarket's AI recognizes your face and your account．
There is also AI that can read lips． （3） It recognizes your mouth，s movements and turns them into voices or text messages． This could be very useful when you are trying to talk to someone on your phone in a noisy place． Police could also use the technology to help them find criminal suspects by lip﹣reading recordings from video cameras．

More than 450 million Chinese have suffered from short sight since June 2018． Short sight rates are around 30 percent for primary school students， 60 percent for junior high school students and 80 percent for senior high school students． This is likely because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic devices．
