Languages are powerful, sometimes more than one can imagine .Most recently an ancient saying“山川异域,风月同天”has deeply touched the Chinese people, which means even though the landscapes are different, we share the wind and moon under the same sky.

The saying was printed on packages of masks sent to Wuhan, Hubei Province from Japan when the novel coronavirus broke out in China. On the packages, there were also Chinese and Japanese national flags, as well as encouraging Chinese characters “加油,中国”. It’s not only the friendship behind the masks, but also the special beauty of the ancient Chinese language.

Although it is written in ancient Chinese language, the saying is from a Japanese prince. The ancient saying first appeared on the frocks(袈裟) which were sent to the monks in the Chinese Tang dynasty.

The Chinese monk Jianzhen was touched by these Chinese characters at that time and decided to start his journey to Japan. He tried six times in 11 years before finally arriving in the country and then helped a lot with the development of Japanese arts and medical studies .Jianzhen was known as the messenger of culture between China and Japan. He was remembered by the people of both countries.

Now once again, the Chinese are deeply touched by the meaning in the ancient saying : understanding, sharing, and support. It feels like walking into the house from outdoors in the freezing winter and having a cup of hot tea. The warmth is inside.

As the world becomes increasingly populated, it is also becoming alarmingly polluted. Fortunately, there are many ways that you can help deal with the negative effects that we impose(施加) on the environment. One of these is driving an electric car.

Electric cars produce about 80 percent less pollution than cars with gas-powered motors. In fact, the only reason that electric cars produce any pollution at all is that their electric energy is produced by power plants — electric cars themselves produce no waste. When energy comes from large sources such as power plants, it’s easier to control, so there’s less waste than if the energy is produced by many smaller sources, such as the gas engines in individual cars.

Furthermore, electric cars are simply more efficient than gas-powered cars for several reasons. First, electric cars have regenerative braking, which means that when you use the brakes in an electric car, the battery has a chance to recharge(再充电). On the contrary, when you brake in a gas-powered car, you actually use energy. Also, during the production of electric cars, more time and energy is spent making the design lighter and more aerodynamic so that there will be less drag(阻力) from the wind. This allows them to travel farther using less energy than a gas-powered car would use to go the same distance.

In addition to the environmental benefits of driving electric cars, there are also financial and time-saving benefits for the drivers. For one, they cost less to maintain(维修). The cost of charging an electric car is about 20 percent of the cost of gas, and electric cars require far less maintenance than gas-powered cars. This is due, in part, to the fact that electric cars have no cooling system, fan　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 belts, radiators, hoses, or oil — just a battery. There are fewer moving parts overall, so there are fewer possible problems. Also, after the body of an electric car gives out, the engine can be reused in another body. Electric cars can also save people time. While gas-powered cars require visits to a mechanic every few months, the only routine maintenance required by electric cars is replacing the battery every four years.

Overall, there are numerous benefits of driving an electric car. It may take a little getting used to, but in the long run, the use of electric cars can help preserve the environment and give people more time and money to be put to better use.

1.What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A.Less than 80 percent pollution is produced by cars.

B.Gas-powered cars get energy from power stations.

C.Electric cars themselves don’t produce any waste.

D.It’s difficult to control energy from power plants.

2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.The battery can be reused after the body of an electric car gives out.

B.Replacing the engine every four years is required for an electric car.

C.It may take no time to see the popularity of driving electric cars.

D.Electric cars cost less to maintain because of fewer moving parts.

3.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A.To compare two kinds of cars.

B.To show a new way of driving.

C.To suggest driving electric cars.

D.To introduce a useful invention.

4.Which is the best title of the passage?

A.The Best Way to Protect the Environment

B.Electric Cars Are Worthy of a Second Look

C.The Greatest Invention in the New Century

D.Driving Electric Cars Saves Time and Money

There are about 6,000 languages that are spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO（United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization）. If no action is taken, some of these languages will disappear.

Languages become endangered for many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the endangered languages disappear, Huff Post reported. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities.

In addition, the languages of "dominant（占主导地位的）" cultures may drive other languages into extinction（灭绝）, To get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant languages rather than their own languages.

Once a language dies out, it rarely comes back to life. Governments across the world are taking action to prevent this. In September, the US state of Alaska said that the loss of native languages was a hurry-up thing. It is now working to give new life to such languages, Quartz reported.

In New Zealand, the government said that they want more than 20 percent of the country's population to be able to speak basic Maori（毛利语）by 2040. They plan to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025. the New York Times reported.
