There are about 6,000 languages that people are speaking around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO (联台国教科文组织).
This has many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the languages are gone, Huff Post reported. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns.
What’s more, to get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant (占主导地位的) languages rather than their own languages. Dominant languages are like English, French and Mandarin (普通话).
Once a language dies, it hardly comes back to life. Governments across the globe 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 (毛利语) by 2040. The country plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025.
China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, more than the number of ethnic groups in the country. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages spoken in China, Xinhua reported. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors (专业) for their students.
( ) 16. How many languages worldwide are in danger of dying out

C. About 3420 languages. D. About 3000 languages.
( ) 17. According to this passage, why might a language die out
A. Because schools don’t offer lessons for it. B. Because it’s too hard to learn.
C. Because it’s useless for the man. D. Because it is useless in daily life.
