A

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short

time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport 护(照 ).

He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my

husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can (垃圾桶 ) that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents (文件 ). Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 21. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?

A. Go shopping. C. Join his family.

B. Find a house. D. Take a vacation.

22. The girl's parents got Rashid's phone number from ______.

A. a friend of his family C. a letter in his papers

B. a Sydney policeman D. a stranger in Sydney

23. What does the underlined word

“ restored ” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Showed. B. Gave back. C. Delivered. D. Sent out. 24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. From India to Australia. B. Living in a New Country. C. Turning Trash to Treasure. D. In Search of New Friends.

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.

Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.

Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.

At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.

Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger

generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.

25. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.

A. promote global languages B. rescue disappearing languages

C. search for language communities D. set up language research organizations

26. What does “ that tradition ” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Having full records of the languages.

B. Writing books on language teaching.

C. Telling stories about language users.

D. Living with the native speakers.

27. What is Turin's book based on?

A. The cultural studies in India. B. The documents available at Yale.

C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal.

28. Which of the following best describes Turin's work?

A. Write, sell and donate. B. Record, repair and reward.

C. Collect, protect and reconnect. D. Design, experiment and report.
