They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain is as big as mens and they live a long life-at least 20 or 30 years.Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw the lower part of the mouth.It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met all the ships and boats in the area and showed them the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot(拍照) a long time in the area. Jack guided the boat The Penguin until the passenger finished.Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. Dolphins are humans friends. Lets all be nice to them.16 .

But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 联合国教科文组织).This has many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the languages are gone, HuffPost reported. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns.Whats more, to get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant (占主导地位的) languages rather than their own languages. Dominant languages are like English, French and Mandarin (普通话).Once a language dies, it hardly comes back to life. Governments across the globe are taking action to prevent this.In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20 percent of the countrys population to be able to speak Maori (毛利语) by 2040. The country plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025.China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, more than the number of ethnic groups (民族) in the country. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages spoken in China, Xinhua reported. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors (专业) for their students.27 .

How does New Zealand make more people to be able to speak Maori?ABy providing Maori lessons in all schoolsBBy making people back to the countriesCBy creating minority language majors for students in the university.30 . What does the underlined word this mean in paragraph 4?AThe learning of dominant languages.BThe fact that some languages are dying out.CAction that is taken to save endangered languages.31 .

I like collecting (收集) postcards. Do you know about postcards?Postcards have about 170 years of history in the UK. By the 20th century, it had become a cheap and popular way to travel by train. More people went on holiday to the seaside. There were no cellphones, so they sent postcards to let others know they arrived safely. Those postcards were usually seaside pictures, such as beaches and delicious food like fish and chips.Today, most postcards picture local scenic (当地的风景) photos or drawings. Others may be funny, with jokes on the front.People usually write words to show they miss someone on their postcards. They usually end with “Thinking of you”. The most famous (有名的) postcard words are “Wish you were here”.Modern postcards also have English humor (幽默). They often make fun of the English weather. For example, some postcards show the rain pouring down on an empty beach. This kind of humor keeps postcards popular in England.32 .
