to encourage people to study and municate with this language, which died out in the 1960s. These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep Languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They spread the word to save the world. So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.

Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas. Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect Find your answers from factsnot start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen from Northwestern University believed what he was taught: that water on the Earth came from icy ets(封星)or planets which hit into the Earth. However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acts like a sponge. This suggests that the Earth39。s water may have e from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activities. I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But think about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time that doesn39。t happen very often. When it does, it39。s amazing. Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency39。s Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which is 480 million kilometres away. The trip from the Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the et would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced(彈起)away from the et39。s icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to the Earth.(1)Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn39。t finish college because . A.they preferred to learn by themselvesB.they needed standard ways of teachingC.their teachers didn39。t like their new ideasD.their teachers weren39。t able to teach them(2)In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that .

A.Comet 67P is not far away from the EarthB.it tookPhilae20 years to reach Comet 67PC.Philae landed on Comet 67P with a little luckD.scientists knew nothing about the surface of Comet 67P(4)The best title for this passage is .
