It was around the 4th grade when I started noticing that I didn't fit in that well with a lot of kids in my grade.While
the other girls were starting to wear make-up，style their hair，and only wear fashionable clothing，I stayed the same.At first I didn't care，but then I started to feel a little worried.I was afraid that the other girls wouldn't like me.I wanted to be like them，but I really hated that.

After I entered the 5th grade my mom found a local vocal (歌唱的) studio.I had always loved to sing，and taking lessons seemed like fun.I was thrown into a brilliant world of music.Something inside me just clicked，and I had finally found where I belonged.Music gave me a place of my own in the world.
Starting voice lessons was the first of many times that music has changed my life.In the 7th grade，I really didn't fit in at middle school.Being an athlete is what made you popular，and I was not super athletic.Music saved me again.Every day I knew I could come home from school and sing.I would become someone else.I would let the music fill my body and shine its light in the darkest corners.The light gave me strength.I became friends with other people who were into music.Music also gave me courage.
Friedrich Nietzsche once said，“Life without music would be a mistake.” This is true for me.Without music，my life would be a mistake.Maybe I would have found another hobby，but I doubt that it would help and change me the way music did.I know that music had changed my life.

Only one native speaker of Livonian remains on Earth，in Latvia.The Alaskan language Eyak went extinct last year when its last surviving speaker passed away.Those are just two of the nearly 2，500 languages that UNESCO said are in danger of becoming extinct or have recently disappeared.That's out of a total of 6，000 world languages.
In a presentation of a new world atlas(图解集) of endangered languages in Paris，linguists stressed the list is not restricted to small or faraway countries.They also sought to encourage immigrants to treasure their native languages.“Language endangerment is a universal phenomenon，”said Christopher Moseley，an Australian linguist who edited the third edition of the atlas，which is to appear in digital and paper versions.The atlas says 200 languages have become extinct in the last three generations，and another 199 languages have fewer than 10 speakers left.
More than a quarter of the 192 languages once spoken in the United States have disappeared.Another 71 are severely endangered，according to the atlas.There is Gros Ventre，spoken by fewer than 10 people in northern Montana.All are elderly，and none is fully fluent.The last fully fluent speaker died in 1981.Menomonee，spoken in northeast Wisconsin，has just 35 speakers left.
Not all is bleak，however.Some endangered languages，like Latvia's Livonian，are being revived by young people and through poetry.Marleen Habard，editor of the atlas' Andean regions，said indigenous(土著的) groups in South America have been at the forefront of preserving their regional tongues by pressuring governments to recognize indigenous rights.Francoise Riviere，deputy director of culture at UNESCO，said raising awareness of the importance of mother tongues is a crucial goal of the

project.“We are trying to teach people that the language of the country from where we come is important，and what counts is being proud of one's own language ，”she said.
【语篇解读】 本文主要报道联合国教科文组织对世界上一些濒临灭绝的语言进行的一项研究。
8．Which of the following has the largest number of speakers at present? A．Gros Ventre. C．Eyak.
B．Livonian. D．Menomonee.
D [细节理解题。文章第三段说到，Gros Ventre不到10人会说，第一段说到Livonian只剩一人会说，唯一在世的会说Eyak的一个人已经去世，第三段最后一句说Menomonee剩35人会说。由此可以判断应选D项。]
9．Why did linguists encourage immigrants to treasure their native languages? A．They wouldn't be fluent in their languages if they didn't speak them for long. B．It expressed their great love for their countries.
C．It helped to protect their native languages from becoming extinct. D．It would be good for recognizing indigenous rights.
C [细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“They also sought to encourage immigrants to treasure their native languages.‘Language endangerment is a universal phenomenon，’said Christopher Moseley”可知，因为一些语言处于濒临灭绝的边缘，所以语言学家才鼓励人们重视自己的民族语言。]
10．The underlined word “bleak” in the last paragraph probably means“ ”．
A．simple C．encouraging
B．bad D．lucky
B [词义猜测题。根据最后一段第二句谈到的“一些濒临灭绝的语言，如拉脱维亚的利沃尼亚语正由年轻人通过诗歌的形式得到复兴”和该单词后面的however可推知该句意思是“然而，并非所有的消息都是不好的消息”，故正确答案为B。]
11．What is the best title for the passage? A．UNESCO：2，500 Languages at Risk of Extinction B．The Only Native Speaker of Livonian C．Endangered Languages in the United States D．The Importance of Mother Tongues
A [标题归纳题。本文主要对联合国教科文组织对一些濒临灭绝的语言所做的一项研究进行的报道，所以选A项。]
