One sunny Monday, I decided to go for a walk with my husband. I was wearing a special diamond ring that day. It was my 20th birthday gift from my grandmother.
As we were walking in the park, I unintentionally looked down at my hand and found the diamond on my ring was missing. I was really worried, so I went back to look for it. I knew how small the chances were of finding it, but I still wanted to give it a try.
As I was fixing my eyes on the ground, I ran into an old gentleman by accident.
“What’s the matter, love?” he asked nicely. “Sorry that I ran into you,” I said. “But I lost something. I’m really worried.”
I explained about the missing diamond and showed him the hole in my ring.
“That’s not going to be easy to find it,” he said. “Tell you what, love, I take a walk here every day. I’ll keep my eyes open for it.”
I thanked him, expecting nothing. A few days later, my husband and I met the old man again in the park.
“Guess what,” he said. “I found your diamond!”
I couldn’t believe what I saw when the gentleman handed the diamond back to me. Then my husband offered him money for his help, but he refused.
The old man could have easily kept the diamond or sold it, as it’s worth several thousand dollars. But he didn’t.

The late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
Mandela understood that our mother language is a very intimate (亲近旳) thing to us. For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. Their language is their main link (联系) with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future.
So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are dying.
Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization (全球化). Nowadays, it’s more useful to speak certain languages － English is one example － rather than others. This has killed some languages, usually ones spoken by fewer or less influential people.
But some people aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. The United Nations has set Feb 21 as International Mother Language Day. The organization wants people to pay more attention to dying languages.
This work is very important. As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, “Language is the roadmap (路线图) of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.
46. According to Nelson Mandela, a man’s mother language _____.
A. does not go to one’s head B. can explain things better
C. carries certain feelings D. links people with their ancestors
47. Which of the following is TRUE about languages?
A. Over 400 languages have disappeared in the 20th century.
B. No one in Chile speaks Yagan anymore.
C. Many languages have disappeared in South Africa.
D. Globalization is a good way to save languages.
48. To save dying languages, the UN _____.
A. encourages everybody to learn more than one language
B. has set up the International Mother Language Day
C. draws people’s attention to popular languages
D. has set up a new organization.
49. What can we infer(推断出) from Rita Mae Brown’s words?
A. The UN has done a lot of work to promote globalization.
B. A person’s hometown can be found in his language.
C. Language is an important part of a culture.
D. Without international languages, people can only stay at home.
