Plunk! I dropped another pecan(山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full.
I was visiting my grandpa's farm in Kansas, and Grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn't about to let him down.
Then something caught my eye: a squirrel(松鼠) picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow(洞) of the tree.
Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full !
I was so proud of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all of the pecans I'd collected.
“Look! Grandpa,” I shouted, “look at all of the pecans I found !”
Grandpa took a look at my basket. "Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy ” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on finding out something about the squirrel’s habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold "
"I didn't think about that, " I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work, even the squirrel’s."
Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image(形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn't leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do.

There are about 6,000 languages spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out.
This has many reasons. One is that some communities of native, speakers of the languages are gone. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns. What's more, to get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning more popular languages like English, French and Chinese rather than their own languages.
Once a language dies, it seldom comes back to life. Governments across the world are taking action to prevent this. In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20 percent of the country's population to be able to speak Maori by 2040. The country plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025. China is also trying to protect its languages. In 2015, the government started a project to record about 130 languages spoken in China. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors(少数民族语言专业) for their students.
Some languages are in danger. It is just a fact. However, all languages are human heritage. When we lose a language, we lose the culture of the people who speak it. Language itself is often the only way to show a certain community's history and culture, as well as its knowledge of things like math and geography.
31. How many languages all over the world are dying out
A.About 2,580. B.About 3,420. C.About 4,300. D.About 6,000.
32.What does the underlined word “this" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.saving languages B. recording languages
C.learning of languages D. dying out of languages
33.Why might a language disappear according to the passage
A. It's not spoken in cities. B. It is too difficult to learn.
C.It is used less in daily life. D.It's not offered in schools.
34. What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “heritage” in the last paragraph
A.遗产 B.权利 C.标准 D.态度
35.Which is the best title of this passage
A.Save the Languages in China B. Save the Languages from Dying Out
C.What Happened to Languages D. Which Languages are Dying Out
D
