The wind sweeps the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry
away. The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations, and now, it seems that the winds
have brought back one of their own. Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was
born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing(扭动) in
pain. A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn’t come.
Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by sunrise, the elderly woman had
died. The episode both haunted and motivated Susan. She threw herself into her studies and earned
her way to college.
Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed and the people she loved. But there was
further to go. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, a boring train ride

away from the world she knew. It was 1886, and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of
women. In her graduation speech from Hampton, she told the East Coast audience, “Give us a
chance.” Three years later, she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task. She opened an office and began
seeing patients. The lines were long, old and young seeking help for various diseases. Susan worked
long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow, walking miles to make house calls. Her
work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, counselor and even
priest(牧师) as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world and she was determined to spend her
entire life helping her people navigate the storms.

The launch of a tool to record a vanishing Greek dialect drew attention back this week to one of
the great extinctions of the modern world: nine languages are believed to be disappearing every year.
Romeyka, which is spoken by an ageing population of a few thousand people in the mountain
villages near Turkey’s Black Sea coast, separated from modern Greek thousands of years ago. It has
no written form. For linguists, it is a “living bridge” to the ancient Greek world, the loss of which
would clearly be a blow.
But some languages are in even bigger trouble, with 350 that have fewer than 50 native
speakers and 46 that have just one. A cooperation between Australian and British institutions paints
the situation in distinct colours, with a language stripes chart, devised to illustrate the accelerating
decline in each decade between 1700 and today. Its authors predict that between 50% and 90% of the
world’s 7,000 languages will be extinct by 2150. Even now, half of the people on the planet speak
重庆八中 2024——2025 学年度（上）高三年级入学适应性训练 第 4页（共 10 页）

just 24 of them.
The history of languages has always been linked to colonialism and political persecution (迫害),
which scatter(驱散) populations as well as controlling them. The Endangered Languages Alliance
(ELA) has tracked down and mapped hundreds of dying languages in New York, which is an
unexpected discovery. These dialects are supposed to be found in remote rural areas. Among ELA’s
more shocking discoveries is that, of 700 surviving speakers of Seke, which originated in a cluster of
mountain villages in Nepal, more than 150 can be traced to two apartment buildings in Brooklyn
district of New York.
From Sami reindeer herders across the Arctic to Australia’s Indigenous (土著的) peoples, the
ways in which people express themselves hide secret messages about ancient ways of living in
nature. Both a will and a way are needed if they are to survive. By simply honouring their existence,
linguists play an important role. Ken Hale, an activist who is strongly for preserving endangered
languages famously argued that losing any language was “like dropping a bomb on the Louvre”.

Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares. This creates opportunities for greater
biodiversity and well-being for the human population. Researchers at the Technical University of
Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna
( 动 植 物 ). They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature-focused
approach to the design of public spaces.
重庆八中 2024——2025 学年度（上）高三年级入学适应性训练 第 5页（共 10 页）

Together with his team, Wolfgang Weisser, Professor of Terrestrial Ecology at TUM, looked at
such factors as size, the occurrence of lawn, plant and tree growth, artificial light sources and green
in the surroundings of the 103 public squares in Munich. The squares varied from almost entirely
sealed (封闭的) to park-like squares.
Their results show, with Munich as an example, how greatly the different spaces can differ in
the animals and other organisms that can live there. At the heavily sealed Marienplatz, the
researchers counted only 20 species, with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat
species. Meanwhile, at Pfrontener Platz, a space with lawns, bushes and trees, they found 156 taxa,
including 21 different kinds of birds. At Johannisplatz, 118 species are present, as it has trees,
hedges and some grassy areas despite being sealed to a relatively large extent.
Unsurprisingly, more plants are beneficial to many animal species. This is a factor that urban
planning models already take into account. However, the study also shows that lawns, trees and
bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract. So far, public
spaces are designed with humans in mind, with little consideration to animals and other species.
The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if, instead of
applying the same patterns to every location, planners take into account the local conditions and the
needs of different species. To encourage more bee species, for example, they should not only plant
nectar-bearing flowers, but also provide open space as habitat for bees and a source of nest-building
material.
