AfricanAmerican.Individual events focus on each culture.Cambodian people first came to the 38th District when they escaped from being killed by the Khmer Rouge during the 1970s.Cambodian traditions are kept alive in the celebration of the Cambodian New Year in April，which features (以为特色) native food，religious events，and traditional Cambodian dances，with their costumes and beautiful movements.The Hmong people，who came to the 38th District because of the war in Vietnam，celebrate their New Year in December.Wearing colorful costumes，singing native songs and playing native instruments，the Hmong celebrate New Year by performing ceremonies to honor the dead and the spirits of nature.The tradition of the IndoAmericans in the District is kept through their social，professional and political clubs，and by wearing their traditional dress and performing folk dances from India.The Chamorro people，first from the Mariana Islands and Guam in the Pacific，hold an annual cultural fair in Long Beach；central to the Chamorran tradition is respect for elders，religious beliefs，storytelling，dancing，canoemaking，and the production of tools.Marking the end of slavery，Juneteenth was first celebrated on June 19 in Galveston，Texas，in 1865.Today AfricanAmericans in Long Beach celebrate the holiday with choir performances，African dances and displays of African art products.Individual events also help to bine many races and nationalities in the 38th District.Kidsday recognizes the outstanding achievements of 100 to 200 Downey youth in academic，athletic and munitybased activities.Other 38th District

District解析：标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了美国加利福尼亚州第38区丰富多彩的多民族文化，详细介绍了五种不同的传统文化，故D项最适合作本文标题。答案：DAll social animals municate with each other，from bees and ants to whales and apes，but only humans have developed a language which is more than a set of prearranged signals.Our speech even differs in a physical way from the munication of other animals.It es from a cortical (脑皮层的) speech centre which does not respond instinctively (本能地)，but organizes sound and meaning on a rational (理性的) basis.This section of the brain is unique to humans.When and how the special talent for language developed is impossible to say.But it is generally assumed that its evolution must have been a long process.The beginning of human language will perhaps remain a mystery.By contrast the beginning of individual languages has been the subject of very detailed study over the past two centuries.There are about 5,000 languages spoken in the world today (a third of them in Africa)，but researchers group them together into relatively few familiesprobably less than twenty.Languages are linked to each other by shared words or sounds or grammatical constructions.The theory is that the members of each language group have descended from one language.In many cases that old language is judged by the experts to have been spoken in surprisingly recent timesas little as a few thousand years ago.The most widespread group of languages today is the IndoEuropean，spoken by half the worlds population.This entire group，ranging from Hindi and Persian to Norwegian and English，is believed to descend from the language of a tribe of nomads (游牧民族) wandering the plains of Eastern Europe and Western Asia (in modern terms centering on the Ukraine) as recently as about 3000 BC.From about 2000 BC people speaking IndoEuropean languages began to spread through Europe，finally reaching the Atlantic coast and the northern shores of the Mediterranean.They also reached far into Asiaoccupying the Iranian plateau and much of India.Another language group，important in the early history of West Asia and still of great importance today，is the Semitic family of languages.These are also believed to e from the language of just one tribal group，possibly nomads in southern Arabia.语篇解读本文从人们头脑中的词汇、语言的起源和语系分类等角度介绍了语言的历史。5What makes humans brains different from animals?AA set of prearranged signals.BA cortical speech centre.CA
