In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will be likely to die out by the next century, according the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a nu

28、mber of organizations UNESCO and National Geographic among them have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in

29、 that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal. Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and ora

30、l traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.

36、chair and feet on the ground. But even if you re doing it right, sitting for long periods is shockingly bad for you. It has been described as the new smoking, linked to heart disease and even cancer. There is no doubt we should all try to do less of it. But perhaps we could also do it better.A class

37、ic survey, published in 1953, described 100 different sitting postures adopted by 480 cultures around the world. Among the most common were sitting cross-legged, kneeling and the deep squat (深蹲), with feet flat on the ground and bottoms resting on or just above it. Even in Western cultures, these ar

But Westerners tend to prefer chair use from an early age, insisting children sit on seats in school.One big problem with this desire for chairs is that they make sitting so, well, sedentary (久坐不动的). Consider the Hadza, a group of hunter-gatherer p

39、eople in Tanzania. They spend around 9 hours a day sitting. However, they squat and sit on the ground in various positions, and this involves high levels of muscle activity. The supportive nature of chairs, with their high backs and armrests, removes this effort perhaps the reason that people love t

40、hem.So what s the best way to sit? Josette Bettany-SaItikov at Teesside University, UK has found that kneeling can help keep the spine in a better position as does squatting. We might also take inspiration from traditional cultures like the Hadza. Use a variety of postures and preferably not just st

41、ill postures but some which allow movement, says Bettany-Saltikov.Bettany-Saltikov believes that we should be rethinking what it means to do adesk job. We still need to design workplaces that enable people to be productive while being lightly active, like with under-table cycling or walking desks, s

46、uld surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work. The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one gene

47、ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, hum

48、ans developed a range of character types that still exit today. So maybe you love car racing or maybe you hate it. 38 No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientist say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases

49、 your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. 40 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As exper

Those are the risks you should jump to take. C. Being better at those things means a greater chance of survival. D. Thus, these well

51、-equipped people survived because they were the fittest. E. This is when you start to move out of your family and into the bigger world. F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weight risks and rewards. G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a
