19、omfortable life by playing, teaching and making guqin.When Yang Lan first became interested in guqin, he was 16 and he didnt really know much about it.It was 2003 and a poetic（充满诗情画意的） scene in a film attracted him. Guqin has existed（存在）for over 3,000 years. In the same year that Yang developed an i
20、nterest in it, guqin music was seen as an intangible heritage（非物质文化遗产）of humanity by UNESCO.Yang got to know stories related to the instrument. The boy was further attracted by the cultural connotations（内涵）of the ancient instrument, though he admits the attraction is more about imagination, instead
21、of the instrument itself. But the imagination really built a relationship between him and guqin. After years of exploration, he finally makes a living by playing and making guqin, and he has just published a book about his experience with the instrument.At 16, shortly after his epiphany（顿悟）, Yang de
22、cided to drop out of school and pursue a music career. He told his parents he would go to Beijing and become a rock musician. But, actually he wanted to move to Shaolin Temple to learn guqin.His parents tried to prevent him quitting school, but they failed. In the autumn of the year, Yang left home.
23、“You dont consider the results of your decisions at 16. I was simply attracted by something and drawn to start a journey to find it.” says Yang.After nearly 20 years, Yang, now 35, says he does not regret his choice as he has satisfied with his current life, but, sometimes, he feels curious about ho

26、ah spoke.“No,” said Willie, “I saw her catch a bird in the garden today. She was fierce and angry then. She tore it to pieces and ate it, after she had killed it.”“What makes her so cruel sometimes?” asked Norah. “Cant we teach her better, mother?”“No,” said Fred. “We cant, she kills and eats other
27、animals because she was made for it, and meant for it. Let me tell you something Ive learnt about it at school. Shall I, Norah?”“Do, please,” said her sister.“Then take puss on your lap (大腿上), Norah, and well begin,” said he. “First look at her eyes. Now look into my eyes. You see that round black s
28、pot in the middle of my eye? That is the pupil (瞳孔) of the eye. Light enters the eye through the pupil. In the bright light it is a long narrow slit (狭缝), when it is dark the pupil opens into a very wide round window.”“I suppose,” said Norah, “that is to help her to see when it is dark.”“It is,” sai
29、d Fred. “Look at her now while she is stretching herself. What a wide mouth she has and what long sharp teeth. Four of the teeth, two in each jaw, are much larger and stronger than the rest. Teacher says that they are meant for seizing and tearing the mice and birds. We move our jaw from seizing and
30、 tearing the mice to birds. We move our jaw from side to side, as well as up and down, when we chew our food. The cats jaw cannot do it, it moves only up and down. Her jaws as well as her teeth are meant for cutting, not for chewing.”“How amazing!” Norah laughed.“Moreover, a cats tongue is not smoot
31、h, like our tongue. It is set with small, sharp, horny points which stretch backwards. The cat uses her rough tongue to strip the flesh from the bones.”“Now, one more look at her feet. If we took the cat up when she was angry, we should see that each toe (趾头) is armed with a strong, pointed claw. We
32、 dont see them now; she keeps them in a sheath.

34、cat keeps its claws in a sheath, even when it is angry.The younger woman cried out in alarm(恐惧) when the Indian ran past her horse.“Dont worry, Alice,” said the officer. “The Indian is called Magua, an army runner. Hes going to guide us to reach the destination before the soldiers.”“Do you trust him
35、, Heyward?” asked Alice.“I do,” said the officer. “He used to fight with the Mohawks and once he was an enemy of your father, but that was a long time ago. Now he is our friend.”“Does Magua speak English?” said Alice. “Can you ask him to say anything?”Heyward laughed. He pretends he doesnt know any
36、English. He only speaks it if he has to.Just then the Indian stopped and pointed to a dark path through the bushes. There was only space for one horse to pass.“Maybe we should travel with the soldiers,” said Alice. “I dont feel safe with Magua”“Just because he has some different manners from us and
37、his skin is dark, it doesnt mean we should distrust him,” said the dark-haired woman. Alice did not reply to her sister. She rode her horse through the bushes and followed Magua down the dark path between threes.The riders(骑马的人) continued through the forest. “The servants(仆人) must leave us now and c
38、hange the direction,” said Magua. “Then it will be more difficult for Montclams Indians to follow our tracks(踪迹).”Heyward told the servants to ride in the direction of the soldiers. Then he and the two sisters rode on. Magua ran in front of them. Suddenly they heard the sound of the horses hoofs. Th
39、e riders held their breath and waited in the bushes to see who was following them. A tall thin man in a blue coat rode into view.“Who are you?” asked Heyward.“My name is David Gamut. I am a preacher and I sing hymns,” said the man.Alice was happy when she heard this. “Please let him travel with us a
40、nd we will sing together, Heyward.”Gamut started singing. But Magua asked Heyward to stop Gamut immediately.“Im sorry,” said Heyward, “you have a wonderful singing voice, Mr. Heyward, but on this occasion I must ask you to travel in silence.”33How many riders are mentioned in the passage?A4B3C5D634A

43、CO（联合国教科文组织）holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the worlds languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact._37_ Something great is lost, not just sounds and words but the way t
44、hat people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Killing a language means all these are killed too.Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. _38_ Many speakers and protect
45、ors of endangered languages upload（上传）texts, audios（音频）and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes（部落）of the United S
46、tates. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.These activities give life to those endangered languages. _39_ Many young people design apps and use social media（媒体）to support their activities. They “spread the word” to save th
47、e world.So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. _40_ This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “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 h
