Good Morning Britain's
Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the
sofa every
morning
,
but
she
is
cooking
up
a
storm
in
her
latest
role
-
showing
families
how
to
prepare
delicious and
nutritious meals on a tight
budget
。
In Save
Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each
week and with the help of
chef Matt
Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food
waste, while preparing recipes
for
under
£
5 per family a day.
And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's
been
able to
put a
lot
of what
she's
learnt into
practice in her own home,
preparing meals
for
sons,
Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11.
“We love Mexican churros so I buy them
on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway
restaurant,
£
5
for a portion
(份)
,
but Matt
makes them for 26p
a
portion,
because
they
are
flour,
water,
sugar
and
oil.
Everybody
can
buy
takeaway
food,
but sometimes we 're
not aware how cheaply we can make this food
ourselves.”

series(

Languages have been coming
and going for thousands of years, but in recent
times there
has
been
less
coming
and
a
lot
more
going.
When
the
world
was
still
populated
by
hunter-gatherers
,
small
,
tightly
knit(
联系
)groups
developed
their
own
patterns
of
speech
independent of each other. Some
language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,
when the
world had just five to ten
million people, they spoke perhaps 12, 000
languages between
3

them.
Soon
afterwards,
many
of
those
people
started
settling
down
to
become
farmers,
and
their
languages
too
became
more
settled
and fewer
in
number.
In
recent
centuries, trade,
industrialisation,
the
development
of
the
nation-state
and
the
spread
of
universal
compulsory
education,
especially
globalisation
and
better
communications
in
the
past
few
decades, all have caused many languages
to disappear, and dominant languages such as
English
,
Spanish
and Chinese are increasingly taking
over.
At present, the world
has about 6, 800 languages. The distribution of
these languages
is
hugely
uneven.
The
general
rule
is
that
mild
zones
have
relatively
few
languages,
often
spoken
by
many
people,
while
hot
wet
zones
have
lots,
often
spoken
by
small
numbers.
Europe
has
only
around 200
languages; the
Americas
about 1, 000;
Africa
2, 400; and Asia
and
the
Pacific perhaps 3,200,
of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well
over 800. The
median
number(
中位数
) of speakers is
mere 6,000, which that half the world's languages
are spoken by fewer people than
that.
Already well over 400
of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to
extinction (
消亡
),
with
only
a
few
elderly
speakers
left.
Pick,
at
random,
Busuu
in
Cameroon
(
eight
remaining
speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150),
Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three)
or
Wadjigu
in
Australia
(one,
with
a
question-
mark):
none
of
these
seems
to
have
much
chance
of survival.
28. What can we infer about languages
in hunter-gatherer times
A.
They developed very fast B. They were large
in number
C. They had
similar patterns D. They were closely
connected
29. Which of the
following best explains
A.
Complex B .Advanced C. Powerful. D.
Modern
30. How many
languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at
present
A. About 6,800 B,
About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About
1,200

31. What is the main idea of the
text
A.
New
languages
will
be
created. B.
People's
lifestyles
are
reflected
in
languages.
C.
Human
development
results
in
fewer

We
may think we’re a culture that gets rid of
our
worn technology at the first sight
of something shiny and new, but a new
study shows that we keep using our old devices
(
装
置)well
after
they
go
out
of
style.
That’s
bad
news
for
the
environment
-
and
our
wallets
- as these outdated
devices
consume
much more energy than the newer
ones that do the
same
things.
To
figure
out
how
much
power
these
devices
are
using,
Callie
Babbitt
and
her
colleagues
at the Rochester
Institute of Technology in New York tracked the
environmental costs for
each product
throughout its life - from when its
minerals are
mined to when we stop
using
the device. This
method provided a readout for how home energy use
has evolved since the
early
1990s.
Devices
were
grouped
by
generation.
Desktop
computers
,
basic
mobile
phones,
and
box-set
TVs
defined
1992.
Digital
cameras
arrived
on
the
scene
in
1997.
And
WP3
players,
smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes
in 2002
,
before tablets and
e-readers showed up
in 2007.
As
we
accumulated
more
devices,
however,
we
didn't
throw
out
our
old
ones.
living-
room
television is replaced and gets planted in the
kids’ room, and suddenly one
day
,you
have
a
TV
in
every
room
of
the
house,”
said
one
researcher.
The
average
number
of
electronic
devices rose
from
four
per
household
in 1992 to
13
in
2007. We’
re
not
just
keeping
these
old
devices
-
We
continue
to
use
them.
According
to
the
analysis
of
Babbitt's
team, old desktop
monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are
the worst devices with
their energy
consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas
emissions (
排放
) more than
doubling during the 1992 to 2007
window.
