You may have heard story about old people blackmailing (敲诈) those who offer help to them when they fell over. Therefore, I don’t think it’s often the case. On my way to home yesterday, I was about to cross a street when an old granny walked beside me suddenly fell onto the ground. I was trying to help him when someone said, “Better take a picture of scene first, just in case…” I knew that he meant. But without hesitation, I still helped and stayed with her until her son showed off. Happily, both of them were so gratefully to me.

Learning from Leonardo
Yes, Leonardo Da Vinci was a genius. 1. However, we can learn from him and try to be more like him.
Be constantly curious.
Leonardo actually did have special talents, but his distinguishing and most inspiring quality was his strong curiosity. He wanted to know what causes people to yawn and how light is processed in the eye. 2.Being constantly and randomly curious about everything around us is something that each of us can push ourselves to do, every waking hour, just as he did.
Seek knowledge itself.
Not all knowledge needs to be useful. 3. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and see more connections than anyone else of his times.
4.
When Leonardo came up with an idea, he designed an experiment to test it. When his experiment showed that a theory was flawed (瑕疵的), he abandoned his theory and sought a new one. If we want to be more like Leonardo, we have to be fearless about changing our minds based on new and real information.
Take notes on paper.
Five hundred years later, Leonardo's notebooks are around to astonish and inspire us.5. This way, fifty years from now, our own notebooks, will also be around to astonish and inspire our grandchildren, unlike our tweets and Facebook posts.
A.Show respect to facts.
B.You'd better show interest in writing.
C.We may never be able to match his talents.
D.Work up the enthusiasm to start writing them.
E.Sometimes it should be learned for pure pleasure.
F.Merely a small part of knowledge can be applied to practice.
G.Also, he instructed himself to learn about the light of the moon.

So sing the children at Hawaiis Punana Leo Hilo kindergarten on the Big Island of Hawaii. The chant is much like any other “Rain, rain, go away” nursery rhyme, but it has an unusual power: it is one of the tools that has brought about the revival(复兴)of a near-dead language.
The decline of Hawaiian was not, as is the case with most disappearing languages, a natural death caused by migration and mass media. In 1896, after the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy (君主政体) by American business interests, schools were banned from using the language, and children were beaten for speaking it. By the late 20th century, aside from a couple of hundred people on one tiny island, English had replaced Hawaiian and only the old spoke the language to each other.
Larry Kimura, a professor there, and his students wanted to bring it back to life. In 1985, when educating children in Hawaiian was still banned, Kauanoe Kamana and her husband Pila Wilson, both students of Kimura's created the first Punana Leo (which means language nest) at Hilo. They gathered together a small group of children and elderly native speakers. The movement grew: there are now 12 kindergartens and 23 schools. The number of children being educated in Hawaiian has risen from 1,877 in 2008 to 3,028 in 2018. Along with Japanese, Hawaiian is the non-English language most commonly spoken among children.
The success has been hard-won. Campaigners had to get the law changed. “People in the community, even in our families, were saying: ‘You'll ruin your children's future. They won't be able to go to college.’ ” Such fears turned out to be unfounded. All the pupils at Nawahi, the main Hawaiian-medium school, complete high school, compared with the state average of 83%; 87% go to college, compared with a state average of 55%.
But academic outcomes are not the primary focus, says Mr. Wilson. “We value our connection with our ancestors more than we value being millionaires,” he says. Mr. Kimura explains that the schools have allowed Hawaiians to pass on their culture.
1.What made the Hawaiian language nearly die out?
A.Migration. B.The ban on it.
C.Mass media. D.Population decline.
2.What effort was made to bring the Hawaiian language back to life?
A.Going on a strike. B.Supporting the law.
C.Setting up a community college. D.Educating more local children in it.
3.What is the main value of the Hawaiian language according to Mr. Wilson?
A.Making a fortune by learning it. B.Focusing on academic outcomes.
C.Passing on the Hawaiian culture. D.Reducing the influence of English.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.The value of Hawaiian. B.The revival of Hawaiian.
C.The popularity of Hawaiian. D.The near-death of Hawaiian.
