I was ne f thse children wh enjyed cunting t ten in different languages while I
brushed my teeth. When I went t university, I chse t majr in French and Spanish. I cannt say I studied particularly hard; thugh I did get t live in Paris and then Barcelna, where I had many pprtunities t pursue my varius interests and hbbies.
I was frequently asked abut what I planned t “d” with my language degree, and it wasn’t until after a decade f thinking that I finally had a satisfying respnse. I always take exceptin t the idea that language is just a “tl” — a means t ask fr directins r defend yurself when yu have truble with the lcals. It depresses me t hear peple say that AI will make language
learning pintless. T me, language is nt just smething t be used. It shapes the way we perceive and experience the wrld.
This is nt a nvel insight. Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whrf were made famus by
the film Arrival. They prpsed that the structure f language infrms the thinking style and wrld view f its speakers, and that language determines hw we see the wrld. The 18th-century
German Rmantic philspher Jhann Gerg Hamann als wrte that the features f a peple’s language will crrespnd t the directin f their mentality.
It’s a matter f debate as t whether speakers f Guugu Yimithirr, a native language in Australia, have a better sense f navigatin (导航) because f their language. I think it des.
Where we (English speakers) use left and right, frward and back, speakers f this language use
nrth, suth, east and west. T d this, they must knw where nrth is at all times. They rient (确定方位)themselves mre skillfully than we d.
T learn anther language is nt just t get by a bit mre easily when yu g n hliday. It’s t learn t perceive the wrld differently, t think differently, and even t be smene
different. And that, in turn, thrws light n yur native language, yur culture and yurself.

A ．He had a clear career plan. B ．He is a language enthusiast.
C ．He dislikes living in different cities. D ．He struggled t achieve his cllege degree.

The questin, “What d elephants and fish have in cmmn?” may sund strange but researchers have fund that they bth have a feature nt bserved in any ther creature.
A team at Gergia Institute f Technlgy has discvered that elephants use a special frm f air suctin (吸力) in their trunks t pick up fd and handle delicate bjects. Animals using
suctin t handle bjects are typically fund in water. Many fish perfrm suctin feeding that requires specialised bdy parts t quickly generate air pressure that can draw nearby fd int their muths.
The researchers have fund that an elephant culd d the same thanks t its huge nstrils
(鼻孔) and lung capacity. The radius (半径) f an elephant’s nstrils can increase by up t 30%, and the vlume f air that it can push thrugh its trunk increases by 64%. This allws it t take in air at 30 times the speed f a human sneeze, enabling it t drink 3L f water a secnd.
In an experiment at Atlanta z, the researchers lked at hw an elephant wuld pick up a small crispy (酥脆的) pancake, which was nly 0.5 mm thick. The frce required t break the
pancake was less than 1% f the trunk’s weight (abut 100kg). The elephant was fund
t either use suctin at a fixed distance frm the pancake t “raise” the bject in the air and hld it, r gently press the tip fits trunk against the pancake and apply suctin t pick it up. At n
time during the experiment did the elephant break the pancake.
The researchers believe that the findings culd help technlgy cmpanies develp better
machines that use air t d their jbs, as suctin has lng been used in rbtics t grab bjects.The fascinating part f the study fr rbtics is that elephants can use air suctin bth n grund and in water. The researchers are s impressed that they suggest the elephant’s suctin technique culd
help imprve rbtics technlgy.
Nature never ceases t surprise. Indeed, it is thught that ver fur-fifths f living species n earth remain undiscvered. That is a reminder f hw little we knw f ur planet, and that we are nt the nly creatures with hidden cmplexities.
46 ．Accrding t the researchers, what is the ability shared by bth elephants and fish?
A ．Surviving lw air pressure. B ．Using air suctin technique.
C ．Observing ther creatures. D ．Adapting t new envirnments.

48 ．What can be learned abut an elephant’s trunk in the experiment?
A ．Its tip can sense the thickness f bjects.
B ．Its weight affects its mvement.
C ．It breaks the fd befre hlding it.
D ．It picks up delicate bjects in different ways.
49 ．The research findings may cntribute t the develpment f .
A ．underwater rbts B ．nature reserves C ．transprt vehicles D ．fish farming
50 ．What is the authr’s purpse in writing the passage?
