But it doesnt turn out to be as fun as she thought. Lin Man-Chiu, an author from Taiwan, wrote the book. British translator Helen Wang translated it into English. The book tells a touching story about Liur and her father.Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to a medical school in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola, as he once promised he would. This doll is quite unusual-it can talk! However, Carola makes a lot of problems for the family.After reading this book. I thought Liur and her father were just unlucky. In fact, this story is based on the authors own unhappy childhood. She had six sisters. Still, her grandfather wanted a grandson. Her father was under heavy pressure and didnt live with her and her sisters for a very long time. The author didnt like her father when she was young. But now she has forgiven him. The talking doll Carola stands for her fathers burden (负担).After I learned this，I understood the authors main message. Everyone has demons (心魔) in their lives, but we should do our best to beat them.26 . Who wrote the book The Ventriloquists Daughter?ALin Man-Chiu.BLiur.CHelen Wang.DCarola.27 .

What is the main message of the book?AWe should try harder to understand our parents.BA talking doll can cause many problems.CWe should try to beat the demons in our hearts.DToo many children can be a burden on a family.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 (亲近的) thing to us. For people who speak an ancient tongue（方言）as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. Their language is their main link with their ancestors（祖先）. And it is also how they imagine the future.So its 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, its 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 arent 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.29 .

I saw an assistant pass this little boy his money back, saying, “Im sorry, but you dont have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to.“Its the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.” he said.I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her, and he shouldnt worry. But he replied to me sadly, “No, Santa Claus cant bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just in case (万一)you do have enough money?”“Ok,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it.
