BThere are about 6,000 languages spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out.This has many reasons. One is that some munities of native speakers of the languages are gone. These people sometimes leave their munities and move to cities or towns. What’s more, to get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning more popular languages like English, French and Chinese rather than their own languages.Once a language dies, it seldom es back to life. Governments across the world are taking action to prevent this. In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20 percent of the country’s population to be able to speak Maori by 2040. The country plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025. China is also trying to protect its languages. In 2015, the government started a project to record about 130 languages spoken in China. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors（少數(shù)民族語(yǔ)言專業(yè)）for their students.Some languages are in danger. It is just a fact. However, all languages are human heritage. When we lose a language, we lose the culture of the people who speak it. Language itself is often the only way to show a certain munity’s history and culture, as well as its knowledge of things like math and geography.根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。51.

Which languages are dying out?CHow do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work alone?The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people. This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems.But this was not the case for every country. Chinese students, who have high scores as well, displayed just average collaborative (合作的) skills. “One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus too much on grades,” said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association. “Students have a lot of exam pressure and they see schools as places for petition.” “However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing students for today’s society,” he added. “Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve this skill.”Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls can be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitudes (態(tài)度) towards relationships, which means they are more willing to listen to others’ opinions.PISA also found that the classroom environment can influence how well student collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require munication such as class debates, students might have better attitudes tow
