The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years. The Maya were so bright that they achieved a lot. They had farms, temples and cities with many buildings. They knew much about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time.

In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of crops around it. The Maya planted seeds after they cleared the land. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were builders or priests (祭司).

The Maya believed in many gods. They built large temples to honor them. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult because they had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.

Although the Maya worked hard to build the beautiful cities, very few of them lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.

Measuring time correctly was important to the Maya, so Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time. They wrote numbers as dots ( … ) and bars ( — ). They also made a calendar (日历). The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over.

Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from a deadly disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. The lost secrets of the Maya are still beyond the reach of modern people. They are still one of our greatest mysteries (神秘).

     English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among

everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage of native English speakers is declining

(降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of

people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.

     However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导)

by the middle of this century to rank, after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. "The

number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn't rising nearly as fast as the

numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been

largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken," he says.

     In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the

top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil and Malay,

spoken in south and southeast Asia.

     David Crystal, the author of The Cambridge Encyclopedia(百科全书) of the English Language, says

about 1.5 billion of the world's six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million

native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the

future of its dominance. "All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill

and is getting faster, but nobody quite knows what's going to happen because no language has been in this

position before." He said.

1. In David Graddol's opinion, English will _____.

A. remain widespread and important

A. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls

B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past

C. the English language will soon drop in dominance

D. more and more language user will choose English

3. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be most widely spoken?

A. Malay.            

B. Arabic.            

C. Urdu.
