There was on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce a shepherd boy(牧童).He was famous for his wise answer to every question he was asked. The people in the country all knew his name.
On a sunny afternoon,when the King was talking with his people,he heard of the boy.But he did not believe it,and sent for the boy.
As the boy came,the King said to him,“I will ask you some questions.If you can give me an answer to them,you can live in this large palace with me.”
The boy said,“What are the questions ”
The King started,“Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e first is,how many drops of water are there in the ocean ” The shepherd boy answered,“That is easy to answer.If you will have all the rivers on earth dammed up(筑坝)so that not even one single drop could run into the sea until I have counted it,I will tell you how many drops there are in the sea.” After hearing what the boy said,the King was satisfied.
Then the King continued,“The next question is,how many stars are there in the sky ” The shepherd boy said,“Give me a great piece of white paper,please.” Then he made so many small points on it with a pen that it was impossible to count them.Then he said,“There are as many stars in the sky as there are points on the paper.”
The King was happy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and said,“You have answered my questions like a wise man.Now move into my palace and live with me.”

The world is gettin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g smaller, at least when it comes to language. More and more people speak the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese. As a result, local languages are being forgotten. In many parts of the world, grandparents speak a language that their grandchildren do not understand. Because these local languages aren’t taught to children or spoken at home, they are slowly disappearing(消失).
A language is said to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be in trouble when less than 30 percent of local children speak it. It is considered a dying language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and after a long time the language will be gone.
Why should we keep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )languages alive Languages show how a culture understands or explains the world.“You need to look at different kinds of languages,because no one language gets it all,” said researcher Dr.Linda Cumberland who is working to save Assiniboine,a Native American language.
According to Dr. Cumberland, a dying language needs a dictionary and people to understand and record its grammar. More importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything. Why The last two people on Earth who could speak the language declined to speak to each other.
( )16.Why are local languages being spoken less and less

Computers ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n help us in many ways,but they cannot think or do things on their own.Humans have to feed them with information and tell them what to do.They can not come up with any new information,but they can save much time and work.For example,all the information and the office files(文件)can be stored in a computer’s “memory”.
The first computers were huge and expensive.They filled up almost the whole floor of large offices.Later,scientists found ways to produce cheaper and smaller computers.They invented chips(芯片)which made it possible to store more information in less space.
Today,computers are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not only cheaper,but also more compact.They can just be placed on top of an ordinary writing table.They can even be carried from place to place easily.Computers are not only used in offices by companies,but are used at home by families who can afford them.
Robots are only ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) moving parts controlled by computers.A robot can do the same work as a person for 24 hours without complaining(抱怨)or getting tired.
In Japan and som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e places in America,robots are used in factories to assemble(装配)cars.As computers become more and more common in businesses and factories,people fear that one day computers and computer-controlled robots will put human workers out of work.

Scientists have been w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ondering if there are some links(联系)between people’s blood types and their personalities(性格)，but they don’t know for sure yet.
But some say that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people with the same blood type may have things in common.
People with type A: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )They look peaceful from the outside.But they ask too much of themselves so that they may be very nervous inside.They get happy or sad easily.Sometimes they are shy but always very careful.They can easily win people’s trust.
People with type B: T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hey have strong minds.Once they start a task，they don’t give up easily.They’ll try their best to finish it and do it well.Type B people always try to make themselves different from others.They want to do things in their own way.
People with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )type AB: They are maybe the strangest among all blood types.They can be both open and shy，noisy and quiet at the same time，They are responsible and always ready to help others.
People with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )type O: They are open and good at making friends.They always start tasks but don’t always finish them.They have lots of new ideas and love to be the center of attention.They always strongly believe in themselves.

Rachel Beckwith is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a little girl.For her 9th birthday,she didn’t ask for toys,dolls or a new pair of shoes.Instead,she made a selfless(无私的)wish: She wanted her friends and family to donate money to the charity for water,so that people in developing countries could have clean drinking water.
“On June 12th,2011,I’m turning 9,” she wrote on her fundraising(募捐）page.“I found that millions of people don’t live to see their 5th birthday.And why Because they didn’t have clean or safe water,so I’m celebrating my birthday like never before.I’m asking everyone I know to donate instead of buying gifts for my birthday.”

When you are treated 2 a Chinese host，be prepared for enjoying tons of(很多)food. Chinese people are very 3 of their food culture and will do their best to give you a taste of different types of cuisine(烹饪).When they take somebody out for dinner, they usually order one more dish than the number of 4 .When it is a business dinner, there is likely to be a huge amount of food that will be 5 to finish.
A typical Chinese ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) meal usually starts with some cold dishes. These are followed by the main 6 ,meat dishes and vegetable dishes. And then soup is 7 .Many Chinese eat rice(or noodles or whatever)last. If you want to have your rice together with other dishes, you 8 say so early on.
When eating with a Chi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nese host, you may find that the person is using his or her own chopsticks to 9 food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say “Thank you!” 10 and leave the food there.

During the Winter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Olympics in Sochi,25,000 volunteers from Russia and other countries provided services for athletes and guests.The student Oksana Verkholyak helped translate Russian into English and Korean at the Games.She told us about their usual day.

When volunteers arrive ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d there,they went through the security(安全)check point.They couldn’t bring water or food with them.“Security guards check our bags.We are not allowed to have things made of metals.They check phones,video cameras,electric equipment and computers,” Oksana added.
In the evening volunte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers got back to the apartment buildings.All of them were like one big family.They lived together and got some rest together—after dinner they went to the beach to watch the sunset.

What is the meaning of the word-culture Does it mean different festivals Of course, the important differences between Western and Chinese people do not center around a few festivals. The big difference is the different ways we think: our different opinions on life, friendships, work and so on. Most people would probably agree that the differences between America and China are bigger. Now I will give you some examples about the differences between America and China.
I asked one of m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y Chinese classmates how she would spend her summer holiday. She told me she loved her mother and missed her，so she would go home.You probably think this is a common feeling.(24)But if a young American said that,American people might think she was mentally(精神上)sick.
Another difference: you always see lots of children walking,running around and laughing.But in Western cities you almost never see children out alone without their parents.American parents are afraid that their children would be kidnapped(绑架).
How about at restaurants (25)In China people are pushed to drink wine even if they don’t want to drink. In America, at least we know that is not very smart.
I see some litter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in Chinese beautiful parks sometimes.When I was climbing Xiangshan mountain,I saw some litter on it.In the West you never see waste in parks.
