So, choosing a job is one of the most important dec

39、isions to make in life.For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:The first one that I must work in an area I like is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you wont have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can b

40、e more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work

41、must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.The thi

42、rd important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management.

44、ts to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it.

47、only 1% of its languages. Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth today may disappear.Why do languages die?Throughout history, the languages of dominant (統(tǒng)治的) groups have spread while the languages of native cultures have become extinct. This hap

48、pens because of government language policies, or because the dominant language becomes more useful in everyday life.Why is language important?Studying different languages increases our understanding of how humans communicate. Language is also an important part of culture. Words that describe a parti

49、cular cultural practice might not have meaning in another language. Native groups often have a deep understanding of local plants and animals because they have lived close to nature for thousands of years. We could discover important things, such as treatments for illness, by studying these language

50、s. Many endangered (瀕臨滅絕的) languages arent written down. When the last speakers of a language die and their language becomes extinct, their stories, songs, and other important information are lost, too.Which languages are disappearing?Central South America has some of the worlds most endangered lang

51、uages. The Kallawaya people speak a secret language that has details of thousands of medicinal plants. Today, fewer than 100 people speak it. In Central and Eastern Siberia, almost all of the native languages are endangered. Many Siberian languages now have only a few elderly speakers.Oklahoma has t

52、he highest number of native languages in the United States. One of these, Yuchi, may be unrelated to any other language in the world. However, during the early 20th century, government schools punished students who were heard speaking it. In 2010, only five elderly members of the Yuchi tribe could s

53、peak their native language.How are languages being saved?Native cultures around the world are using modern technology to help keep their endangered languages and cultures alive. Communities are creating dictionaries and libraries by using pictures, video, and audio to record the traditions of the la

54、st speakers of their language. If the younger generations dont speak and understand the words and stories of their ancestors (祖先), the language will die. And when the language dies, part of the culture dies, too.1The underlined word “extinct” probably means _.Aselling out Bdying out Cspeaking out Dputting out2How are the native languages in Central Siberia and Oklahoma similar?ABoth of them are secret languages.BFewer people can speak them today.CThey are both unrelated to other languages.DThey are both spoken mainly by young people.3To save a language, it is most impo
