A beautiful hostess (空姐) saw that I was afraid. She came to me and asked, “Are you OK ” “I’m very nervous because this is my first plane trip.” “Just relax and try to look out of the window.” she said. Then she gave me a cup of orange juice. After drinking it, I went to sleep. About half hour later, I heard, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at Kunming Changshui International Airport. It is sunny outside and 24℃ in Kunming. Thank you for taking this flight and hope to see you again.”

With most Chinese people speaking Mandarin, or putonghua, some local dialects, or fangyan, are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project in 2015.
This project studied how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages included 103 dialects that are almost gone. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.
This project has helped China to build the world’s largest library of language resource. Now it has created an online dialect library, where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million recordings and over 5 million videos. At present, the project has entered its second stage. It plans to create digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to British expert Harold Palmer, dialects are the key to keeping local cultures, because they faithfully (忠诚地) show the history, the beliefs and customs of an area.
Zhang Hongming, another expert, talked about the worrying situation of dialects. “For more than 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand the dialect, but hardly speak it. And young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this continues, the dialect may disappear.” he said.
So, not only the country but each of us should do our part to protect dialect culture.
( )1．How many dialects were studied in this project
A．103. B．350. C．1,712. D．6,000.
( )2．What is the goal for the second stage of this project
A．To collect over 5.6 million recordings.
B．To help over 5 million people learn dialects.
C．To develop digital tools to help dialect learners.
D．To build the largest language resource library.
( )3．What does the underlined word“they”in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．Customs. B．Dialects. C．Histories. D．Cultures.
( )4．According to Zhang Hongming, why is Wu dialect worrying
A．Kids aged 6 to 15 hardly understand it.
B．Fewer and fewer young people speak it.
C．Young people aged over 15 never speak it.
D．Only people in Shanghai and Suzhou speak it.
( )5．In which part of a magazine can we find this passage
A．Art. B．Science. C．Environment. D．Language.

In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city. 1 Services such as hospitals and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe and America, people are moving out of the city. These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life. 2 They are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn’t polluted.
So they move out. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, and other people move to the real countryside with sheep and cows and green fields! 3
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. 4
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say, “ 5 ”
A．We’ll never leave the countryside!

C．And often there isn’t much work there.
D．They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city.
