While shopping in a store yesterday,I was slightly annoying by somebody’s screaming children,who just would not quiet down. The little boy could be heard throughout the store. He looked for me as I passed his mother and I smiled as I looked back. He said “hi” in quiet and easy tone. I said “hi” back and gave him an even big smile. The boy didn’t smile back but I didn't hear it yelling the rest of the time when I was in the store. It is truly that if you smile at someone,you would brighten their day. In fact,it not only brightens their day,and makes your own light to shine as well.

Long live language. That's the message Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and city councillor Amaijeet Sohi voiced when they declared Feb. 21 to be International Mother Language Day (IMLD) in Edmonton,the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta.
The pair were on hand for the International and Heritage Languages Association's (IHLA) 12th annual Mother Language Day celebrations in an effort to save endangered languages.
“Keeping languages alive is important for the richness of our culture and the diversity that strengthens Edmonton,” said Iveson.
There are nearly 7,000 unique languages spoken worldwide,but according to data from the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) half of those languages are at risk of going extinct in just a few generations.
For example,there are currently over 3 ,000 languages spoken throughout Africa. This sounds impressive until you realize that there were over 10 ,000 languages spoken on the continent before colonization during the 19th century.
“People who lose their language experience suffering,” said Olenka Bilash,professor of second language education at the University of Alberta. Bilash likened the loss of language to the loss of cultural identity.
“As a multicultural society,it is very important to continue to preserve and pass on to future generations the language,culture,traditions and customs that we bring to Canada,” said IHLA president Olga Prokhorova.
While the City of Edmonton's citizen and new arrival centre in city hall provides services in 150 languages,Bilash said research shows that “most people are still uncomfortable speaking their own language in public spaces."
Bilash hopes the official announcement of International Mother Language Day in Edmonton — which echoes International Mother Language Day declared by UNESCO in 1999 — will be a step toward encouraging more language diversity in order to preserve the cultures tied to them.
“Our words define us; our expressions and vocabulary define who we are as people,” said Marneen Kubinec,Alberta's minister of culture and tourism. “Our words are living examples,perhaps the best that there are,of human creativity.”
32. The example of the languages in Africa is given to show .
A. there’ re many languages in Africa
B. a great number of languages became extinct
C. Africa believes . in encouraging cultural diversity
D. Africans are trying to save endangered languages
33. Both Bilash and Prokhorova stress the importance of .
A. mastering more than one foreign language
B. public policy on Canadian traditions and customs
C. protecting languages and cultures from extinction
D. the official announcement of IMLD by UNESCO
34. What does the underlined word “echoes” in the text mean?
A. Suggests. B. Creates.
C. Celebrates. D. Imitates.
35. What can we learn from Kubinec's words?
A. Your language is your identity.
B. Native language is disappearing.
C. Alberta is rich in language diversity.
D. Language can be saved by creativity.

A shopping center in Brazil is growing vegetables on its rooftop using waste collected from the mall's restaurants. The garden is on the roof of the Eldorado shopping center in Sao Paolo. Workers there use trash（垃圾） from the restaurants to create compost（堆肥） for the garden. Compost is used to improve the soil of the garden. A spokesman for the mall says that the waste from 10 ,000 meals served each day in its food court goes into the compost.
Workers grow different kinds of fhiits and vegetables on the rooftop garden,including tomatoes,lettuce and eggplant. The fruits and vegetables grown there provide free food for the employees.
