18、named John Henry was the hero of former slaves and the people who built the railroads. He was known for his strength. But confirming details of John Henrys life is impossible because no one knows for sure if he really lived. However, John Henry is based, in part, on real events. John Henry grew up i
19、n a world that didnt let children stay children for long. Before John Henry was six, he carried stones for workers building a nearby railroad. By ten, he worked from early in the morning until night. By the time John Henry was a young man, he was one of the best steel-drivers. He could work for hour
20、s and so fast that his hammer moved like lightning. John Henry went to work as a steel-driver for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. One day, a salesman came to the work area with a drilling machine powered by steam. He said it could drill holes faster than twelve men working together. The railroad co
21、mpany planned to buy the machine if it worked as well as salesman said. John Henry looked at the machine and saw pictures of the future: machines replacing Americas best laborers. So he decided to compete. At first, the steam-powered machine worked twice faster than he did. Then, he started working
22、with one hammer in each hand, faster and faster. Suddenly, there was a sound like the mountain breaking. The salesman was afraid. Then the machine broke down. However, John Henry was still at work. He kept working until his heart burst. His blood was everywhere. But he still held the hammers. Soon,

27、age in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers left,” said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England. The scientists found that 25 percent of the worlds languages are threatened. After identifying where the endangered languages were, they look
28、ed for any environmental, social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as rugged terrain or rapid population growth. “We found that on a global scale, language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growth-that is, declines are particularly occurring in economicall
29、y developed regions,” Amano said. “One important implication of this new study is that languages in the tropics and the Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local indigenous(土生土长的) languages with a small number of speaker
30、s, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth,” Amano said. Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more dominant language as offering economic opportunities, and thus give up their own language
31、s. There are other important factors that might endanger languages, the researchers said. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language
32、 endangerment. Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast future threats to linguistic diversity. “There exists detailed information about projected future changes in the environment, economies and climates,” Amano said. “Using such information, together with the findings of this study and fur
33、ther analysis, we would like to understand what will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.”28. Ainu is mentioned in paragraph 1 in order to tell us that .A. Japanese is now seriously threatened.B. several languages are likely to disappear in the future.C. Japanese is made up o
34、f many languages.D. few people speak Japanese in the world.29. What may endanger the languages most according to Amano?A. The diversity of the society.B. The decline of the population.C. The development of the economy.D. The improvement of the environment.30. The writer shows us the reasons why lang
35、uages are endangered by .A. telling some interesting stories.B. doing some experiments.C. offering some examples.D. making a list of important facts.31. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. worlds languages are developing rapidly.B. future threats to languages can be predicted.C. the study
36、is very important to languages.D. it is rather hard for us to protect languages.D For years magazine publishers focused most of their attention on selling ads in their magazines and devoted less attention to proving the ads were effective. Now, many new advertising media have emerged, such as TV, ra
37、dio and the Internet. Moreover, there are more than twice as many magazines competing for media dollars as there were a decade ago. With so many media options available, marketers now want reliable proof that magazine advertising is effective and can build brand awareness, help position a brand, or
38、actually deliver sales. Magazines have typically promised advertisers exposure or access to a stable audience such as fashion-conscious young women, sports-crazy men or car lovers. However, advertisers want evidence more than exposure. They want proof that seeing an ad for Calvin Klein jeans in COSM
39、O makes readers more likely spend 80 buying them or that placing an ad for a Volkswagen Jetta in Rolling Stone helps the brand stick in consumers minds long enough to influence their next car purchase. Magazines increasingly have to compete against media that can provide evidence that their ads inde
40、ed to do something. For example, the Internet can show the data instantly because consumers movements and purchases can be tracked through their mouse clicks. And with new digital technology, television sets will soon become transactional(交易的) tools, allowing consumers to order information and goods
41、 right from their sofas with a remote control. Magazines can not afford to wait any longer to prove that they work. The magazines industry is taking steps to prove its effectiveness. The industrys lead trade group, Magazine Publishers of America(MPA), recently spent half a million dollars investigat
42、ing ways to prove the magazines effectiveness. One of the groups studies found that ads in magazines increased short-term sales of products and also brought more sales over time. Sales increased among magazine-exposed households for 8 of the 10 brands measured. In short, magazines must prove that th

44、s shouldnt focus on ads instead of their magazines quality.D. More and more magazines are competing in the ads market.33. Why should the magazine industry prove that magazine advertising is effective?A. Because many products are bad for peoples health.B. Because people are worried about the quality
45、of the products.C. Because more and more media compete with it.D. Because it gets less and less share of the ads.34.
