【正文】 Romans gained political power. Many famous literary texts and scientific classifications were written in Latin. Even though knowing Latin indicated a person was educated, according to Britannica, in the 20th century far fewer people learned Latin, leading it to be classified as a “dead” language.There are around 7,000 living languages in the world, but, according to Britannica, “more than half are at risk of dying out by the end of the 21st century.” Civilizations evolve over time and so do languages. More often than not, a language dies because everyone who speaks the language dies. For example, Marie Smith Jones, perhaps the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language, died at the age of 89 in 2008, and so did the language. Now, fewer and fewer people speak Latin, which raises public’s awareness about its protection.Actually, there are many other reasons as to why Latin should be protected or taught. “It is a window into a fascinating ancient civilization, and studying an ancient civilization teaches us to respect different points of view and unfamiliar cultural practices,” says Kathleen Coleman, James Loeb Professor of Harvard University.Since it isn’t used in ordinary conversations, there are a lot of difficulties that arise from teaching Latin. “Teaching a ‘dead’ language is different from teaching other languages,” explains Coleman, “because there are no native speakers to show us how it sounds or answer questions about the meaning of words or explain idioms. Though it’s hard, fortunately, we still can find the answers to our questions from the broken evidence available in written texts.” can we learn about Latin from Paragraph 1? people didn’t learn Latin in the 20th century. educated people learned Latin in the past. was not favored by scientists and writers. was wellknown since its birth. should people learn Latin according to Coleman? show unfamiliar practices. respect others’ opinions. protect a “dead” language. learn about an ancient society. will the author probably discuss in the following paragraph? learning methods. development of Latin. learning materials. difficulties in learning Latin.B Remember back when virtual reality came out as the Next Big Thing? Videogame maker Sega developed a massmarket headtracking VR system and showed it to reporters and industry representatives at the 1993 winter Consumer Electronics Show. It performed as advertised, carried an affordable $200 price tag and was set to launch the following year. Unfortunately, among other issues, testers reportedly developed headaches and motion sickness using the headset and the system was quietly shelved. A report just issued by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, suggests a similar problem could be found in selfdriving cars.
