Passenger pigeons

（

旅鸽）

once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts

from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks

（群）

so large that they darkened the sky for hours.

It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger

pigeons

–

a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the

most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock

believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.

Sadly,

the

abundance

of

passenger

pigeons

may

have

been

their

undoing.

Where

the

birds

were

abundant,

people believed there was an ever- lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted

them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking

hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.

By

the

closing

decades

of

the

19

th

century,

the

hardwood

forests

where passenger pigeons

nested

had

been

damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered

（驱散）

the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north,

where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to

be seen again.

In

1897,

the

state

of

Michigan

passed

a

law

prohibiting

the

killing

of

passenger

pigeons,

but

by

then,

no

sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot

by

a

boy

in

Pike

County,

Ohio,

in

1900.

For

a

time,

a

few

birds

survived

under

human

care.

The

last

of

them,

known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.

【小题

1

】

In the 18

th

and early 19

th

centuries, passenger pigeons _______.

A. were the biggest bird in the world

B. lived mainly in the south of America

C. did great harm to the natural environment

D. Were the largest population in the US

【小题

2

】

The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.

A. escape

B. ruin

C. liberation

D. evolution

【小题

】

What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?

A. To seek pleasure.

B. To save other birds.

C. To make money.

D. To protect crops.

【小题

What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?

A. It was ignored by the public.

B. It was declared too late.

C. It was unfair.

D. It was strict.

A

typical lion tamer (

驯兽师

) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (

鞭子

)and a chair .The whip

get all of the attention , but it’s mostly for show .In reality , it’s the chair that does th

e important work .When a lion

tamer

holds

a

chair

in

front

of

the

lion’s

face

,

the

lion

tries

to

focus

on

all

four

legs

of

the

chair

at

the

same

time .With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next .When faced with so

many options , the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion ? How often do you have something you want to

achiever (e,g. lose weight , start a business , travel more )

–

only to end up confused by all of the options in front of

you and never make progress ?

This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best , the people

who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information .The end result is that we feel

like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things , and so we take less action , make less progress , and

stay the same when we could be improving .

It doesn’

t have to be that way .Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you

need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of

successful people .If you have somewhere you want to go , something you want to accomplish , someone you want

to become ….take immediate action .If you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either

help you get there or get out the way .

【小题

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages

are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die

out

by

the

next

century,

according

to

the

United

Nations

Educational,

Scientific,

and

Cultural

Organization

(UNESCO).

In

an

effort

to

prevent

language

loss,

scholars

from

a

number

of

organizations-

UNESCO

and

National

Geographic among them

–

have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.

Mark

Turin,

a

scientist

at

the

Macmillan

Center,

Yale

University,

who

specializes

in

the

languages

and

oral

traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book,

A Grammar of Thangmi with

an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture

, grows out of his experience living, looking and

raising a family in a village in Nepal.

Documenting

the

Tangmi

language

and

culture

is

just

a

starting

point

for

Turin,

who

seeks

to

include

other

languages

and

oral

traditions

across

the

Himalayans

reaches

of

India,

Nepal,

Bhutan,

and

China.

But

he

is

not

content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.

At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films,

tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.

Now,

through

the

two

organizations

that

he

has

founded- the

Digital

Himalaya

Project

and

the

World

Oral

Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the

world, available not just to scholars but to the youngers.

Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally to digital technology and

the

widely

available

Internet.

Turin

notes,the

endangered

languages

can

be

saved

and

reconnected

with

speech

communities.
