When I was a little boy,I felt that the love I had for my mom and dad,and the love they had for me,just filled me up.Surely in a house full of nine people lived a young boy who loved and was loved as fully as a person could stand. Imagine my surprise as I then extended（扩大影响）that love to my grandparents,my uncle & aunt,cousins,etc.As I grew older,I met and married a beautiful woman that I thought entirely filled me up with love.I could not imagine there would be any more room.Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then another daughter to our family.Again,I had room to love and be loved.See what I mean?Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can get,they get better.

27、When Kyle Jauregui recently went to pick up his younger sister's birthday cake, he met with a bittersweet surprise.

On arriving at the baker's, he learnt that Madison's cake had already been paid for—by a complete stranger. It was a touching act of kindness, but, as it turned out, not a random one. The cake had been paid for by a lady known simply as “McKenna's mum” —as part of a gesture she had been making for a while, and for a heartbreaking reason.

While Madison was set to celebrate turning 11, McKenna Jodell Fox would have turned ten on the same day. McKenna was only nine months old in 2008, when she was crushed by a falling TV set as her family prepared to move house.

It's a painful occasion for her mum, but one she has transformed into something positive. The cake she bought was accompanied by a card which read as follows:

“Dear Birthday Girl Family,

In honour of my daughter's 10th birthday, I have chosen your birthday cake to pay for. Each year I do this random act of kindness because I am unable to buy my daughter a cake of her own. Today is her big double-digit birthday. Please enjoy your day. ”

By Kyle's own admission, the whole family was left speechless. “We just want to say thank you to McKenna's mom,” he wrote,“and wish McKenna a happy birthday. There's still good in this world. ”

【1】What do we know about the birthday cake?

A．It tasted bittersweet.

B．It was paid by McKenna's mum.

C．It made the family heart-broken.

D．It was free of charge.

【2】Who died according to the passage?

A．Kyle Jauregui.

B．Madison.

C．McKenna Jodell Fox.

D．McKenna's mum.

A．Warm-hearted and cheerful.

C．Broken-hearted but generous.

D．Kind-hearted and positive.

A．A Painful Accident

B．A Speechless Birthday

C．One Birthday Cake for Two Girls

D．World Full of Surprises

28、   Nelson Mandela, once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” Mandela understood our mother language is very personal thing to us.

After all, it’s the language we first hear and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced(微妙的) way through our mother language, expressing our emotions and moods more fluently. We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. When we die, we know people will mourn for us in our mother language.

For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, their language is their main link with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future. So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperiled.

Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization(全球化). With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. Some people aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages.

Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. The United Nations has set Feb 21st as International Mother Language Day to raise awareness of dying languages. This work is very important. As US writer Rita Mac Brown wrote, “Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.

【1】The author uses Nelson Mandela’s words in order to _________.

A.show great respect for Mandela

B.stress the importance of mother language

C.show Mandela’s contribution to language

D.draw our attention to language learning

【2】What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The friendship. B.The mother language.

C.The emotion. D.The ancient tongue.

【3】Which is the closest in meaning to “imperiled” in Paragraph 3?

A.Endangered. B.Developed. C.Protected. D.Changed.

【4】What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?

A.The roadmap of a culture. B.Efforts to save the dying languages.

C.A planet with fewer languages. D.International Mother Language Day.

【5】What might be the best title for the text?

A.Our Languages Tell Us More

B.Why Languages are Disappearing

C.The Rise and Fall of a Language

D.International Mother Language Day

29、Knowing how to read, write and talk in one language is enough for many people. They prefer to focus their energy on other things that improve their lives. Scientists, however, continue to confirm that bilingualism, the ability to speak two languages fluently, has more benefits than many realize.

First, it’s good for a child’s brain. Learning a second language improves their academic achievements. Many studies have shown that children who learn a foreign language get better grades at school. Bilingual children also display a better facility in their native language. Their grammar, vocabulary and spelling skills are stronger than those of single-language speakers. Children who learn a second language become expert problem-solvers and creative thinkers. That’s because their brains are constantly working to sort out which language to speak and when. Studies further show that bilingual teens are better at multitasking.

Multilingual parents understand the benefits of learning more than one language. Ben Mazor of Montreal speaks English, French and Hebrew. He says, “Kids’ brains are like a sponge (海绵). They absorb everything. It comes to them so easily while they’re young. So why not give them the chance to learn another language?”

A number of studies show that bilingualism is valuable to the brain later in life. Scottish researchers did a study using data from 835 native English speakers, who took an IQ test at the age of 11. They were tested again in their 70s. Researchers then compared the tests. Those who spoke two or more languages had obviously better cognitive (认知的) abilities. Dr. Thomas Baka, co-author of the study, concluded, “Our results suggest a protective effect of bilingualism against age-related cognitive decline.”

So，who would refuse the benefits of learning a second language?

【1】What does the underlined word “facility” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Ability.

B．Interest.

C．Taste.

D．Method.

【2】According to paragraph 3, what may parents like Ben Mazor do?

A．Learn foreign languages by themselves.

B．Spend more money on home schooling.

C．Involve kids in foreign language courses.

D．Help kids absorb knowledge like a sponge.

【3】What has the Scottish researchers proved about bilingualism?

A．It extends one’s life.

B．It improves test scores.

C．It cures brain disorders.

D．It slows mental ageing.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Learning Betters Human Brain

B．Bilingualism Shows Great Advantages

C．Language Opens a New World to Kids

D．Bilingualism Leads to Academic Success
