26、   Being home to the largest secondhand bookstore in the world, Hay-on-Wye is more than just a small town in Wales--it’s a book heaven on earth.

The history of Hay-on-Wye as the “town of books” began on the April Fool’s Day of 1977. A man called Richard Booth announced the independence of Hay-on-Wye as a kingdom of books, with him as the king. Since then, he has managed to build a healthy tourism industry based on books. Today thousands of visitors come to Hay-on-Wye every year to look for whatever books they need.

Before Booth’s great idea, Hay-on-Wye was a slowly dying town having less than 2,000 people, with no real economy or notable local businesses. The king of Hay-on-Wye opened his first bookstore in 1961, and later encouraged his friends in the trade to come to Hay. After a few years, he filled almost every building with books. Hay-on-Wye now has over thirty bookshops, many selling second-hand books, which has made the town attractive for book collectors.

Hay-on-Wye has its special honor with over one million books traded here every year. Unlike other book dealers, Richard Booth doesn’t center on any one topic. He buys any type of books believing that every book is valuable and someone in the world wants it. Book lovers from all over the world come to Hay-on-Wye because a large number of books found here are at low prices.

Since 1988, Hay-on-Wye has also been the place for a famous literary(文学) festival, now supported by The Guardian, which draws about 80,000 visitors over ten days at the beginning of June to see and hear big literary names from all over the world.

Once a dying small town, Hay-on-Wye is now an attractive tourist town, with ten percent of its population working in the book business, and local businesses benefiting from the waves of tourists coming here in search of books.

27、Experts say over half of the world’s 7,000 languages are in danger of disappearing. Every two weeks one language disappears. As the last speakers of a language die off, the valuable information contained within a language also disappears. 【1】

What would happen if you were the only person left who spoke your language? Who would you share stories with, sing songs to, or exchange jokes with? 【2】 This is the example scientists use to explain the situation of many people around the world whose local languages are disappearing.

Sometimes a language disappears immediately when the last person speaking it dies. 【3】 This happens when an official language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. This is not a new process. Official languages often represent a form of control over a group of people. Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful ethnic (种族) group spreads across a kind of culture.

【4】

So, smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in power becomes the stronger influence.

Languages   contain   the   histories,   ideas   and   knowledge   of   a   culture.   Languages   also   contain   valuable information about local medicines, plants and animals. Many endangered languages are spoken by native cultures in close connection with the natural world.

【5】

The   Internet   could   be   thought   of   as   a   new   method   of   language   control.   The   United   Nations   cultural organization — UNESCO, says that ninety percent of the world’s languages are not shown on the Internet.

A．Learn a language that will disappear now.

B．Or a local language might disappear more slowly.

C．That’s why endangered languages must be protected.

D．Protecting languages is very important for these reasons.

E．The more powerful culture almost never respects that of smaller groups.

F．Who would understand your names for local plants, animals and traditions?

G．Your interest in language may be changed with more languages disappearing.

28、Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回忆录) of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.

Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.

Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.

Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robed Hutchins.

Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work.

Although Tyler officially retired (退休) in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目标) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.

【1】Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler’s memoir?

29、   Pilates, yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy. There is, however, a more humble exercise that might not be so attractive, but has all the benefits-walking.

Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains, “What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level. Plus, it is good for your heart, your head and your wallet.”

A recent report details the health benefits of walking. The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week, recommended by the UK’s chief medical officer, could save 37,000 lives each year. Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running. They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%, while running reduced it by 4.5%. And there is even more good news: 30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily, according to research by Oregon State University. The study by days could help you sleep easily. The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day.

The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll notice the differences in your mind and body. So, go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space.
