matukar panau is one of the worlds rarestlanguages. it is spoken in just two small coastal villages in papua new guinea. several years ago, david hamson, a language expert, didnt know much aboutmatukar panau either. no one had ever recorded or even studied its words and rules. withso few speakers, the language risked disappearing soon. it was endangered. hamson didnt want that to happen to matukar panau. so in 2009, he set out for papuanew guinea. his goal: use modern technology to help the remaining speakers preservetheir native tongue. but matukar panau is far from the only language facing loss. studies suggest that bythe end of this century, nearly half of the 7,000 languages now spoken worldwide coulddisappear. theyre in danger partly because the only people left speaking them are elderlyadults. when those individuals die, their language will die with them. in addition, childrenmay discard a native language and instead use more common global languages, such aschinese, english or spanish. in the united states alone, 134 native american languages are endangered. languagehotspots exist all over the world. these are places with endangered languages that haventbeen recorded. they include the state of oklahoma, pockets of central and eastern siberia,parts of northern australia and communities in south america.24. what did harrison go to papua new guinea for?

a. different attitudes towards misfortune b. face difficulties with a smile c. nothing is impossible d. life is full of adversity d adding math talk to story time at home is a winning factor for childrens mathachievement, according to a new research from a university. the study from psychologistssian beilock and susan levine shows a marked increase in math achievement amongchildren whose families used bedtime math, an ipad app that delivers engaging math storyproblems for parents and children to solve together. even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains inmath achievement by the end of the school year. the apps effect was especially strong forchildren whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math. previous research from this group has demonstrated the importance of adults attitudesabout math for childrens math success. for example, a recent study found thatmath-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken theirchildrens math achievement. the new findings demonstrate that structured, positive interactions around math athome can cut the link between parents uneasiness about math and childrens low mathachievement. many people experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a mathproblem, with a majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math, said beilock,professor in psychology and author of choke, a book about stress and performance. thesemath-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home, which affectshow competent their children are in math. bedtime math encourages a dialogue betweenparents and kids about math, and offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions ina low-effort, high-impact way. study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents. families weregiven an ipad installed with a version of the bedtime math app, with which parents andtheir children read stories and answer questions involving math, including topics likecounting, shapes and problem-solving. a control group received a reading app that hadsimilar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehensioninstead. childrens math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the schoolyear. parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math. the more times parents and children in the math group used the app, the higherchildrens achievement on a math assessment at the end of the school year. indeed, childrenwho frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in thereading group by almost three months in math achievement at years end.32. bedtime math is an ipad app that _ . a. requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questions b. assesses childrens math achievement and parents nervousness with math c. encourages children together with their parents to solve math story problems d. teaches children how to count, recognize shapes and solve practical problems33. the previous study found that_. a. help from math-anxious parents improves childrens math achievement b. interactions around math at home will cut off the family relationship c. childrens math achievement is related to parents attitude about math d. children can achieve more success if they see the importance of math34. we can infer from the passage that_. a. it is the math problems related to the stories that make the great difference b. children whose parents are uneasy about math are superior to other students c. parents using the app for three months can see gains in math achievement d. the frequency of using the app has nothing to do with childrens achievement35. what does the author want to tell us?
