Each year on Feb 21,UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.
What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and words but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Killing a language means all these are killed too.
Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Google's 2018 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传) texts, audios (音频) and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.
The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.
These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media (媒体) to support their activities. They "spread the word" to save the world.
So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother languages. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: "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."

2.The word "revive" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________."

A.The disappearance of languages has already stopped.
B.It's impossible for young people to protect languages.

Dear Marjorie,
I’m having troubles at school. I find it difficult to get down to work in the evenings and I can’t concentrate（全神贯注） on anything at the moment. I spend most of my time listening to music or watching TV instead of doing my homework when I am at home. The other students in my class are much better than I am and I have problems with following the lessons as well. I can’t always take down the important things my teacher says because I write so slowly. She has told me that I’m falling behind with my studies. I’m not good at writing and I usually hand in my homework late because I put off doing it until the last minute. So I often have to invent different excuses to tell my teacher why I haven’t done the work. I’m sure I’ m not going to get through my final exams in July. I’m now so far behind that I don’t know how I’ m going to catch up with them. My teacher spent some time going through my homework with me but she found so many mistakes that I felt even more depressed（沮丧）. What do you suggest I do?
Yours,
George
