• 1．Blowing our nose，burping （打飽嗝）after dinner and pooping（排便）...Unpleasant as they are，these things，according to Live Science，make up "the impolite science of the human body".
     Snot （鼻涕）
     Snot's job is to protect our body from harmful viruses.Quite often，dirt，ash，or sand fill the air we breathe.But thankfully，snot stops these unhealthy things，which are taken out of our nose when we blow it.
     Apart from protecting our nose，snot can tell us whether we're healthy or not according to its appearance.When it's clear and colorless，that's a sign of good health.If it turns green or yellow，however，it could be a sign that our body is being attacked by a virus.
     Gas
     From drinking fizzy （起泡的）drinks to eating food，we often breathe in gases like carbon dioxide，which end up in our stomach.Naturally，if we take in too much gas，our stomach will be filled with pressure and we may suffer from pain and cramps（痙攣）.To stop this from happening，burping is an effective way to get these gases out of our stomach.
     Occasional burping benefits our body.However，burping too much isn't a good sign.That's because it may suggest that we're suffering from a digestive disorder.
     Poop
     Pooping is an extremely important function of the body.Every time we eat.jye.ai food is passed through our digestive system.Once our body has taken everything it needs from the food，it leaves our body as poop.
  And though it's gross，checking our poop after we go to the bathroom could tell us more about our health.
  
  （1）What does it suggest if snot is green？

  
  A．There might be dirt in it.
  B．It is protecting our nose.
  C．You are very healthy.
  D．Your body might be fighting a virus.

• 2．Every two weeks，the time period after which many people collect a paycheck，a language dies.
     So concerning is the potential for language loss that the National Science Foundation this year launched the Documenting Endangered Languages program to advance knowledge related to endangered human languages.The launch of the program is even more urgent given the fact that about half of all current languages being used in the world have been classified at varying degrees of endangerment.
     At the University of Arizona，which is an important site for language preservation，a number of researchers are involved in activities meant to document endangered and lost languages.Others are working to help preserve languages classified as "moribund"，meaning that no children are learning their native languages as their first languages in their own homes.
     A number of UA programs-some of them decades old-are dedicated to language preservation.Most recently，Christian Ruvalcaba，a graduate student，launched "The Language Capital Project" and is creating maps for a corresponding website to help nonnational language speakers to find and connect with one another.
     "Languages allow people to create an identity for themselves and as community members，" said Elizabeth Kickham，a visiting professor in the UA Department of Linguistics. "Language is so closely tied to culture；it not only reflects cultural practices，it is also influenced by them.Language and culture influence each other，so it's difficult to separate them.You can，but you lose something when you do. "
     "One of the advantages of studying at the University of Arizona is the wealth of linguistic（語言的）diversity to be found among the student population，" said Kickham，who involved her students in language preservation training this semester.
     "Exposure to diverse populations，including languages，enables a richer understanding of the human experience，" Kickham said. "Languages are beautiful.When people hear someone speaking a language they needn't feel that the person doesn't know how to speak English but rather that person has a wealth of resources. "
  
  （1）Why did the National Science Foundation launch the program？

  
  A．To bring back lost languages.
  B．To develop endangered languages.
  C．To increase understanding of endangered languages.
  D．To investigate the number of endangered languages.
  （2）What do the maps created by Ruvalcaba inform people about？

  
  A．Where there is a website for lost languages.
  B．Where non - national language speakers live.
  C．Where they can learn the national language.
  D．Where they can communicate in their native language.
  （3）What did Kickham want to point out in what she said？

  
  A．The influence of cultural practices.
  B．The importance of diverse languages.
  C．A need for language preservation training.
  D．A better understanding of different cultures.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Language Loss Calls for Preservation
  B．Language Reflects Human Self-identity
  C．Preserving Non - national Languages
  D．Identifying the Causes of Language Loss

• 3．Aging is often mentioned in relation to smart homes.Technology can help older people stay independent and safe，and avoid the difficult transition to institutional care.Cox Communications display their new smart home in which every device is "smart".A strong internet connection is central to their product，and the company also provides a network for other service providers.
     The smart home is not only controlled far away，this home — called Home Life — also features direct connections to family members and health professionals.For example，a person can perform their physiotherapy （物理療法） far away from home with online live guidance from a physiotherapist.Or，their relatives who live in another state can pop in and out through their smartphone or tablet，so the loved ones are always there if required.
     This super smart home also includes a smart pill container，a smart pot to water your plants，and motion sensors for indoors and outdoors which are useful for fall detection，as well as an automatic barcode scanner （條碼掃描儀） linked to the home trash can so that the packaging gets scanned when it is thrown and the consumed items are added to the user's shopping list.
     In a modern smart home，many activities that are important to independent living can be monitored，and assistance is provided on an as-needed basis.If something is out of place — for example，a person has an accidental fall or doesn't take their medicine — family can be informed immediately.However，the person living in the smart home maintains his or her autonomy and sense of independence.
