Now, he has his own group called Protecting Our Birds.Recently,Dessi,14 years old, chatted with TFK about his work and goals for the future.TFK:What is Protecting Our Birds?DESSI：Birds are citizens of the world, so they need protection. I basically try to do conservation work to help birds get protected throughout the world. I recently wrote an article about a bird called the bartailed godwit(斑尾）.I interviewed a biologist named Nils Warnock, who had studied the bartailed godwit. He expressed the concern about the threat that the bartailed godwit is facing. I wrote an article about his answers to the questions, which is published on the American Birding Association Website.TFK:What impelled you to start this project?DESSI:When I was eight years old, our class had to do a woodworking project, so I chose a bird feeder(喂食盒). I didnt like birds at the time. I made the feeder, filled it up with seed, put it in my backyard and then the birds started ing. I got really interested in birds as more came. I later got involved in my local Audubon Society, which is devoted to conserving and restoring natural ecosystems. It really got me into birds and I realized bird populations were declining, and many are being endangered quite rapidly. I wanted to help them, so I started the project.TFK:What are some future projects you plan to work on?DESSI：I live in L.A., where there are a lot of parrots. Most of the parrots native range is in Mexico, but theyre really declining there because of habitat loss. I want to study the parrots and help them in their native range in Mexico, so they can start increasing again.TFK:How can people learn more about Protecting Our Birds and the work youre doing?DESSI：I have a website. Its my free website about protecting our birds. There people can learn about what I do and how to help birds.21. Whats Nils Warnocks attitude to the bartailed godwit?A. Worried.B. Changing.C.

This institution examines the civil rights struggles faced by both our city and our nation throughout the history.The Lorraine Motel:Today the National civil rights Museum is partially housed in the Lorraine Motels history, however is a short and sad one. It opened in 1925 and was originally a “white” establishment. By the end of World War II, however, the motel had bee minority-owned. It was for this reason that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stayed at the Lorraine when he visited Memphis in 1968.Dr.King was assassinated on the balcony of his hotel room on April 4th of that year. Following his death, the motel struggled to remain in business. By 1982,the Lorraine Motel went into foreclosure(抵押品赎回权).Saving the Lorraine:With the future of the Lorraine Motel uncertain, a group of local citizens formed the Martin Luther King Memorial Foundation for the only purpose of saving the motel. The group raised money, solicited donations, took out a loan, and partnered Lucky Heart Cosmetics to purchase the motel for $144, 000 when it was up for auction. With the help of the city of Memphis, Shelby County, and the state of Tennessee, enough money was then raised to plan, design, and build what would eventually bee the National Civil Rights Museum.The Birth of the National Civil Rights Museum:In 1987, construction began in a civil rights center housed within the Lorraine Motel. The center was intended to help its visitors better understand the events of the American Civil Rights Movement. In 1991,the museum opened its doors to the public. Ten years later, the ground was broken again for a multi-million-dollar expansion that would add 12,800 square feet space. The expansion would also connect the museum to the Young and Morrow Building and the Main Street Rooming House where James Earl Ray purportedly fired the shot that killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Exhibits: The exhibits at the National Civil Rights Museum illustrate chapters of the fight for civil rights in our country in order to promote better understanding of the struggles involved.

The items on display.D. The magazines.CIt is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it. The word huh?”is in worldwide use, a study found.Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include huh?, or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly. The word is an absolutely necessary part of speech. Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we havent heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.But while other words used in the same context, such as “sorry” or “what”, vary widely across languages, “huh?” remains unchanged.The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world, including Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana, and an Australian Aboriginal language, as well as Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese.They analyzed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like “huh?” and were used to request that whatever had just been said be repeated. All contained a version of “huh?”. The word was also found in another 21 languages. While there were subtle differences in each country, all sounded basically the same.This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing. For instance, the Japanese for dog is “inu”, while the French is “chien”.It is thought thatlanguages around the world have developed their own version of “huh?” because the sound is quick and simple to form, as well as being easily understood.The researchers, said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like “huh?” but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human munication. They also have an answer for those who claim that “huh?” isnt a word. They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages. It also can be considered a word because its something we learn to say, rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make.28. According to researchers, the word “huh?” is very important in speech because of .A. its stable meaning in language development.B. its important function in municationC. its simple and easy sound and spellingD. its popularity in every language29.

You should invite her to share her different views politely.D. You should try to repeat what youve just said in a clearer way.30.The main method used in the research of huh?”was .A. interviewing language experts in universities.B. talking with people from ten different countries.C. analyzing the recorded conversations in different languages.D. paring different words with the same meaning in different languages.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To inform readers about research on the worldwide used word huh?B. To argue that “huh?” is the most important word in every languageC. To entertain readers by relating similar idioms in different languagesD. To instruct readers of the differences of huh?”in different languagesDSince Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangmas peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.

Theyve transformed the cans and oxygen tanksand in one case, part of the remains of a helicopterinto 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepals capital.
