Dear NMAI(National Museum of the American Indian) Supporter，

Old stereotypes(思维定式) die hard. And when it comes to the way Native Americans have been viewed throughout history and continue to be viewed today, the stories about life in Indian Country are sadly overshadowing the truths. Most Native Americans don't live in tipis(圆锥形帐篷), and we don't greet one another by saying,  “How.”

To combat misconceptions like these, I need help from people who understand there's more to Native American cultures than the offensive cartoons that you see in movies and television.

I think that you might be one of these people.

Please join NMAI today and enjoy exclusive benefits like our full－color quarterly magazine American Indian, and Members－only discounts at all Smithsonian, NMAI Museum Stores, and at our Zagat－rated Mitsitam Native Foods Café.

Plus, through this email, you can take advantage of our special price of $22－more than 10% off our regular membership charge.

With your support, the National Museum of the American Indian can tell the story both past and present of Native life and culture in North, Central, and South America.

In just one visit to either of our Museums in Washington, DC, or New York City, you can watch a performance by traditional Native dancers... attend a lecture by a leading voice from the world of Native literature... spend an afternoon taking an informative audio tour of the Museum's distinctive grounds... and try your hand at Native crafts like pottery and beadwork. And for those who are unable to visit the museums in person, much of our extensive collection of more than 800，000 objects is cateloged on our website.

Only with your generosity can we share the Native story, awaken children to an interest in Native culture, and bring the Museum experience to people who can't travel to our Museums in person.

By joining the Museum today, you will take the first step in putting an end to the old stereotypes and long－held prejudices that have contributed to an incomplete picture of Native traditions and accomplishments.

Sincerely，

Kevin Gover

Director

There is a new take on an old tale．It's the story of the three

little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of

straw and one made of sticks．The only house left standing was

the one made of bricks．Now there is new evidence to suggest

that houses built with bales（捆）of straw can be very strong．

Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain．

He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bale and hemp（大麻） material．During the next twelve months the team will study die effectiveness of these materials in home building．Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw．It's a relatively inexpensive renewable material that's quickly and easily available．Straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows．So it can be seen as having no harmful effects the environment．And the straw bales walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal insulation．So we make buildings that require very little heating in winter or indeed very little cooling in summer．So they require very little additional energy．

David Lanfear owns an eco-friendly home building service in the United States called Bale on Bale Construction．He says he laughed when some friends first told him about houses built of straw．But after doing his own research, he learned that building with straw bales makes a lot of sense．He has now helped to build more than ten straw bale houses and says the building material is becoming more widely accepted．To build the houses, he fills a wood frame with tightly packed bales of straw．Next he coats the walls inside and out with layers of clay plaster．He says the common ideas about straw houses continue, including stories about the threat of fire．As a matter of fact, straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance．And his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain．He says we use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof．

68．According to the passage, Pete Walker ____．

A．is cooperating with David Lanfear in building houses

B．is pretty sure that straw is a good building material

C．is studying home building with his team at present

D．holds a different view of building materials from David Lanfear

69．If we live in houses built with bales of straw, we ____．

A．will be worried about the threat of fire

B．need to wear good shoes in severe weather

C．can reduce our household expense

D．should use a special method to keep out rain

70．In building straw houses, ____．

A．a solid foundation and a good roof are necessary

B．straw bales have to be tested for fire resistance

C．a wood frame of straw should be used as a good roof

D．builders should wear good shoes and a good hat

71．Which of the following is the best tide of the passage?

A．Houses Made of Straw

B．New Meaning Of an Old Tale

C．Pete Walker and David Lanfear

D．Solid Foundation and Good Roof

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?

A.The number of native Americans has been increasing.

B.Fewer and fewer native Americans speak their own language.

C.Their native language has been extinct.

D.It's hard to increase the interest of hearing native languages.

2.What will be the result if more and more native Americans only speak English?

A.They will get better jobs and higher pay.

B.They will teach their own children to speak English.

C.They will lose their history and culture.

D.They will get along well with the government.

3.What can we know about Tlingit?

A.It can help the native people know some language topics.

B.It can help the: native people earn money and buy a. house or nice things

C.It is a very popular app among the native speakers

D.It is a native language spoken by fewer than 200 people.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.American Indian tribes' efforts to increase native speakers.

B.Reasons for the disappearance of some American Indian languages.

C.Ways to help the native tribes lead a traditional life.

D.The popularity of the language learning apps.
