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.

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 the 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

1

】

Why does the lion tamer use a chair?

A. To trick the lion.

B. To show off his skill .

C. To get ready for a fight.

D. To entertain the audience.

【小题

】

In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?

A. They feel puzzled over choices.

B. They hold on to the wrong things.

C. They find it hard to make changes.

D. They have to do something for show.

【小题

】

What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. Tolerant

B. Doubtful

C. Respectful

D. Supportive

【小题

】

When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to_____.

A. wait for a better chance

B. break your old habits

C. make a quick decision

D. ask for clear guidance

D

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.
