Do

you

use

emojis

(

表情符号

)

on

WeChat?

One

of

the

nicest

things

about

emojis

is

that

people

from

all

over

the

world

can

understand

them.

But

I

have

36

________ learned that some emojis have different meanings in China.

Take the 37 ________ smiley face emoji as an example. At first, I thought it was

just

a

normal,

friendly

smile.

But

later,

I

38

________

that

it

can

mean

something

different. It can mean that someone is looking down on you or even laughing at you. I

read

online

that

39

________

the

emoji

is

smiling,

its

eyes

are

looking

downward,

which makes it look like a fake smile (

假笑

).

What

about

the

smiling

face

40

________

a

waving

hand?

It

certainly

looks

friendly enough. But actually, Chinese people use this emoji to 41________ that they

don’t want to t

alk to someone

–

the hand is waving “goodbye”, as in “never” talk to

me again.

In fact, some emojis also have 42 ________ meanings in Western countries. One

of my favorite emojis is the “cry

-

laugh” emoji. At first, it meant “rolling on the floor

laughing”

or ROFL. But over the years, the meaning has changed. It is often used to

describe

43________

that

are

so

unfortunate

that

you

can’t

help

but

laugh

to

cheer

yourself up.

It

looks

like

the

B

There

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 communities of native speakers of the

languages

are

gone.

These

people

sometimes

leave

their

communities

and

move

to

cities or towns. What’s more, to get better educa

tion 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

comes

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

（< /p>

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

community’s

history

and

culture, as well as its knowledge of things like math and geography.
