On March 10，2019，eight﹣year﹣old Tani won the New York Chess Championship （纽约象棋冠军赛）of his age group． But the boy， who was homeless at the time， began learning the game less than a year ago．
Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Africa in 2017． A church helped him enter the primary school， P．S.116． Here the gifted boy was first introduced to chess by a part﹣time teacher Makofsky， owner of a chess club． Interested in the game， the seven﹣year﹣old asked his mother to allow him to join the club． Not able to afford the chess classes， she emailed Makofsky． To her surprise and joy， Makofsky agreed that Tani could learn it for free．
Though the chess club helps， it's largely believed that Tani's success lies in his hard work． The boy practices the game for many hours a day on the floor with his board． Every Saturday， Tani goes to a free 3﹣hour class to improve his game skills．
Not surprisingly，Tani's story， first reported by The New York Times， has brought him great support from the American public． Soon after the young boy won the New York Championship， Makofsky began a GoFundMe activity for Tani and his family so that he could continue his chess journey． It raised ＄200，000 in just ten days， far more than they expected． And the money keeps coming． But the family donates （捐赠）most of the money to the church and to those poor families!
Tani has also received offers from three famous private schools in New York． However， the family have politely refused all of them and chosen to continue Tani's education at P．S.116．
The young boy's story also caught the eye of Bill Clinton，the 42nd US President． "Tani，you're an example of a winning spirit ﹣ in chess and in life． I'd love to meet you，" he said on his Facebook．
While excited about his new life，Tani is ready to meet great challenges （挑战）．He is busy preparing for the 2019 National Primary Championships． Winning the competition will bring the chess player closer to his dream of becoming the world's youngest chess grandmaster （大师）． The record has been kept for 17 years by the Russian chess player Karjakin， who won the title at the age of 12．

Many kids help their parents with chores， such as doing the dishes， cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish． And some kids get money or other rewards（奖赏） such as more computer time by doing chores．
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores． Susie Walton．an expert， believes that by rewarding kids， parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something． "Running any kind of family is a team work，" Walton says． "A home is a living place for everyone in the family． It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house．"
Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make money． There are also now apps（应用软件）． With the Chore﹣Monster app， kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores． Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world． "We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards，" one man says．

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？

D．5．
（2）In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us ．
A． how cultures are passed on

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．
Who wants to eat food that is thrown away as waste？ Believe it or not， that's exactly what world leaders did at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015．
During the meal， the world leaders enjoyed dishes like salads and burgers made with thrown﹣away vegetables and fruits． Chef Dan Barber， who helped create the meal， hoped that the experience would make the leaders pay more attention to the issue of food waste．
It is a huge problem． One out of nine people on Earth does not get enough food． Yet every year over one third of the food produced worldwide goes to waste!
Why is so much food wasted？ Firstly， food is often thrown away before it reaches customers because too much of it is produced， or because it is not kept properly in farms． Secondly， shops and supermarkets usually throw away unsold food． Finally， customers often buy more food than they need， so a lot of uneaten food is wasted．
How can you waste less food？ When eating out， you may ask for less food and take home what is left． Visit fast food restaurant less often， since they usually more wasteful． Encourage your favorite restaurants to give unsold food to food banks．
You can also waste less food at home． Use smaller rice bowls so that you serve less rice．
Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings． Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food．
Food waste is a growing problem and we， either farmers or food sellers or customers， must take this problem more seriously and do what we can to help．
