35、ts are no longer teaching the language to their children and are not using it actively in everyday life. A language is considered to nearly disappear when it is spoken by only a few elderly native speakers.The world faces enormous challenges in order to protect different kinds of languages. Of the m
36、ore than 6,912 languages, half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.It is caused by many reasons: small numbers of speakers, the regular use of other languages, attitudes towards their languages, moving of the younger population, government policies, and languages used in edu
37、cation and so on. A language may lack important things such as a body of literature, and people who read and write it. A language may also lack prestige (声望) and support of its speakers.The survival of a language is also threatened when speakers move to other areas where different languages are spok
38、en, or when government policies improve the use of a specific language in school, official business and the media. These situations encourage people to learn the wider-known language and may cause them, especially the young, to stop using their mother tongue. Often those speaking lesser-known langua
39、ges will choose to learn a more prestigious language with the hope of greater economic opportunities. Most of the worlds parents are teaching their children English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Russian or some other main languages instead of their own languages for social and economic reasons.

However, nothing
44、 like that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what lies undersea for very short periods of time.They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if French architect Jacques Rougerie has his w
45、ay, that will change soon.Jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. The huge l67ft. ship, named Sea Orbiter, consists of two areasone above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower p

47、p. Besides being equipped with the latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD player!

48、day.The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 millionper ship! However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be a
49、ble to convince governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon!66.
