The United States is home to 562 recognized American Indian Nations each with its own language.

Yet the number of native. Americans with the ability to speak their tribe's language has decreased over the past century.

Now, Indian Nations are trying different ways to expand the number of native speakers, and increase interest in their communities to learn tribal languages.

Since the late 1800s. many American Indian children have attended boarding schools. At that time, Indian children were required to attend schools by law, and the government forced Indian families to send their children to such schools.

The children were separated from their families. and given English name The teachers often taught native American students in English, instead of the language of their parents. They were told they needed to learn English in order to get a job, earn money and buy a house or nice things.

However, fearing a loss of history and culture, the Indian Nations are experimenting with new ways to increase the language ability of tribal members.

At least one organization is turning to modern technology---The Sealaska Heritage Institute, a nonprofit group, has developed two apps for speakers of the Tlingit language.

The “Learning Tlingit” app serves as a reference for important language topics such as conversation phrases, number, and letters.

The Tlingit tribe has about 10, 000 members. They live mainly in southeastern Alaska. But as of 2013, the tribe had only 125 native speakers left. in addition, very few young people are able to speak Tlingit.

Currently there are two apps, called “Learning Tlingit” and “Tlingit Language Games”. The “Learning Tlingit” app serves as a language guide. It provides Tlingit words and expressions, the tribal alphabet, as well as a basic list of the words included. With the “Tlingit Language Games” app, users are given a choice of different places of environments, like a house, forest or ocean.

1.What is the problem the native Americans are facing now?

Each Indian(印第安人) was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one for himself. But his playmates(游戏伙伴) would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs or Bad Boy. But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off. If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs for the rest of his life.

The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather and observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief. If he had done well, he would get a good name. Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf or Man-Afraid-Of-a-Horse. So an Indian’s name told his record or described the kind of man he was.

A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a batter name. Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names—all good and each better than the last.

An Indian’s names belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family. So no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.

Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticed deed. I know of only three of four times when this happened. It is the rarest honor for a person—the honor of assuming(承担) his father’ name.

1.An Indian could be given the second name by__________.

A. his father       B. the enemy     C. the chief of the tribe    D. his childhood friends.

2.The greatest honor an Indian could earn was__________.

A. a victory in his first battle against the enemy.    B. a name given by the chief.

C. a ceremony to get his real name.              D. the right to use his father’ name.

3.If an Indian had more than ten names, it means that___________.

A. many people in the tribe liked him.            B. he was a great fighter.

C. he had a lot of friends.                      D. he had fought in fewer than ten battles.

4.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A. The names given by the playmates of an Indian were usually not pleasant.

B. The life name of an Indian was earned in battle.

C. An Indian could throw away his birth name when he was old enough to earn one for himself.

D. The Indians themselves were not allowed to give their names away.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）

Your children are so different-they each have very different talents, skills, and personalities, so it can seem natural to give them labels（标签）. For example, one child may be the “smart one” or the “artist” or the “troublemaker”. Although it is easy to ________, you can be hard for your children.

Downsides of Labels

When kids are given negative（消极） labels they often feel that parents don’t expect or want them to change, and they may feel that they should live up to their negative labels. For example:

The “messy child” may see no reason to try to be neat and tidy when his parents have already defined his role in the family.

The “troublemaker” may feel that any attempt to be good will be ignored.

The “wild child” may think that he or she might as well continue to do crazy things

because parents expect it.

Even positive labels can be problematic as children may feel uneasy to meet their parents’ expectations, and often feel uncomfortable that their parents seem to like them more than a brother or sister.

Avoiding Labels

Remember that each child is unique and has the ability to do many things and act in many different ways.

Focus on the positives. For example, if your child, who always seems to be running late, but gets to the dinner on time, be sure to praise him for being on time.

Don’t let children lock themselves into roles-encourage children to try things they are interested in.

1.Who do you think the passage is mainly written for? (no more than 2 words)

________

2.According to the passage, list three negative labels given to children. (no more than 6 words)

________

3. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

Avoid focusing children on some particular things only, you’d better encourage them

to do all that they fancy doing.

________

4.Fill in the blank with proper words. (no more than 6 words)

________

5.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

________

Different Cultures

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 1..

The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 2..

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 3.Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlanta Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.

At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. 4.

The differences are everywhere. 5.But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A. Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.

B. And these two are well- known as the base of the European culture.

C. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.

D. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

E. They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.

F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.

G. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.
