Spoken in Mexico for centuries, Ayapaneco is one of 68 surviving languages in the mainly Spanish-speaking nation. The two speakers are Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez. Though they live only 500 meters from each other in the village, the two men seldom talk to each other. Daniel, an American expert, who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco, says the two men “don’t have a lot in common,” and that Segovia can be “active” while Velasquez tends to mind his own business and stay at home.
While Segovia still speaks to his wife and son in Ayapaneco, neither of them can manage more than a few words. Velasquez hardly speaks his native tongue any more. Daniel is working to preserve the language in dictionary form before its last surviving speakers pass away. According to Daniel, Ayapaneco and the other languages began dying out with the introduction of public Spanish education in the mid-20th century. For decades, local children weren’t allowed to speak anything else. Many people to cities, starting in the 1970s, also helped the dying out of native languages.
Ayapaneco is the name given to the language; Segovia and Velazquez call it “Nuumte Oote”, which means “true voice”. Neither man, however, speaks the same language. The dictionary will contain two versions(版本) of the language when it comes out later this year. Those behind the dictionary aren’t the only ones trying to save Ayapaneco. The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children.
It is thought that there are about 6,000 languages spoken on earth and that about half will disappear over the next 100 years. Let’s hope the “true voice” isn’t one of them.

举一反三
Early in February, the Ministry of Education issued a new regulation that colleges and universities should carry out a minimum of 14 days compulsory military training for freshmen.
In a report by Beijing Evening News, Hou Zhengfang, a Beijing-based education PhD, questioned the benefits of military training. “The training routine does little to improve students’ physical fitness over only two weeks’ time. Maybe some disaster prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires would be of greater benefit.”
Meng Yang, a 19-year-old freshman at Guangxi University, fainted during training. She said that many students, especially girls, are willing to train under direct sunshine. “For me, military training is physically challenging and even damages my health.”
According to Li Jian from the student affairs office of Guangzhou University, feeling dizzy happens frequently during military training and the school has received a lot of complaints from both students and parents: “But I still think military training is a good thing. Students are easier to manage after the military training. They became more positive about their new environment after the training.”
Although autumn is fast approaching Beijing, the noon heat burns 3300 freshmen on Tsinghua University’s campus. Chu Jinjing, a freshman majoring in medicine, did feel some discomfort while training in sweaty clothes in the glaring heat, the 18-year-old still enjoyed being part of group going through strict exercises. “By going through this tough training, students bond faster and a sense of belonging to the school can be formed. I’ve made a lot of friends already.”
According to the Ministry of Education, the purpose of military training is to teach students discipline, the spirit of teamwork and endurance. But in reality, according to Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, the effect is not satisfying. “Such goals require long-term development. It is unrealistic to expect military training to make a difference in only 14 days.” He thus suggests that it should be up to schools to conduct military training in a way that best suits their students.
However, Wang Wenhui, an 18-year-old freshman from Xi’an Jiaotong University, sees military training as a tradition that reaches beyond character building. “From junior and senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey. I would feel a bit incomplete without it.”
小题1:How many people expressing their opinions are mentioned in this passage?
A.4 | B.5 | C.6 | D.7 |
A.survival skills |
B.military training |
C.the spirit of teamwork and endurance |
D.strict exercises |
A.Supportive | B.Subjective | C.Objective | D.Rejective |
A.A Policy Made by the Ministry of Education |
B.Military Training under Fire |
C.A New Journey |
D.A Best Way to Teach Students Discipline |
If it"s a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.
Of course, Punxsutawney Phil"s prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil"s predictions are more often wrong than right.
Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years" predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.
The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.
Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis.
Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines.
小题1:The underlined word “pops” means “ ”.
A.escapes | B.appears | C.increases | D.hides |
A.some of the predictions were unavailable |
B.Phil wants to do that for fun |
C.Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions |
D.he has predicted more late springs |
A.By an accident. |
B.From people"s life improving. |
C.By his own attractive force |
D.From much money raised by the town. |
A.The National Climate Data Center |
B.A German tradition |
C.A tongue-twisting small town |
D.Groundhog Day weather forecasting |
When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t run after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.
When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry for more important than money.
Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle (副标题) which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install (安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded (让路) them as a few ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.
It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you ‘ll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just ”suggest”----I left it open at the bottom of the compute and told each one ,”Read it, you’ll love it “.
I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself. I strongly advise you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.
小题1:The author wrote this passage to _________.
A.strongly recommend an e-book |

A.is more popular than e-books |
B.deals with how to make money |
C.is what the author really cares for |
D.is also an e-book written by Rich Ezzo |
A.Because he was not sure whether he did well. |
B.Because he was too excited to write anything. |
C.Because he had to wait for Rich Ezzo’s permission. |
D.Because he wondered if it would have a long influence on him. |

Too Much Happiness was written by Alice Munro,winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature,one of our greatest contemporary writers of fiction and the owner of the Man Booker Price for Fiction.Her stories have appeared in The New Yorker,The Atlantic Monthly,and other publications,and her collections have been translated into thirteen languages.
The main character is Sophia Kovalevsky,a great Russian mathematician,writer and advocator拥护者)of women’s rights in the late nineteenth century. After visiting her lover Maxsim Kovalevsky in Riviera,she travels in Europe,ending up in Sweden,where she teaches at the only university in Europe willing to employ a female mathematician.The book writes about her journey from Riviera to Sweden.
The story tells the typical struggle of an intellectual(知识分子)woman to achieve success and happiness.However,when she is going to die,Sophia says“too much happiness”.I think it’s irony(讽*11的).As reading the story,she has too many mental problems·First,as a woman mathematician,she was born in a wrong time .She was married to Vladimir Kovalevsky without love,called“a white marriage”.She explained that“no a young Russian woman who was unmarried could leave the country.”She satisfied her marriage to seek her career.
Furthermore,when she sees a man look like Maxsim in the station,she says to herself,“of course,it would not be Maxsim,what could he be doing in Paris?”She doesn’t want to face the fact because she doesn’t want to lose her hope.She believes they will marry in spring.And in her letter to Julia she says:“it is to be happiness after all,happiness after all.Happiness.”She is cheating herself. In fact,the man does not want to marry her,and the happiness she expected doesn’t take place at all.
Finally, I conclude that the end must be a tragedy(悲剧).From the very first pages the atmosphere is gloomy黯淡的)and threatening.“One of us will die this year.”“Because we have gone walking in a graveyard(墓地)on the first day of the New Year.”Some pages further,“a black cat across their path”all reflect it will be a bad ending.Not because she had some problems with her lung,but because her life does not bring her happiness,and because of these disharmony things that happen in her life.
