By 1972, Lonely Planet founders Tony and Maureen Wheeler __1__ (complete) a life－changing journey from London to Australia, and written a booklet about a portion of it: Across Asia on the Cheap.

“Once while travelling across the sky，” said Tony, __4__ (repeat) the lyrics to the song Space Captain, as sung by Joe Cocker, “this lonely planet caught my eye.” The correct words were actually “lovely planet”， __5__ somehow “lonely planet” stuck ... and here we are today.
Our hippy－era name must never have sounded __6__ (suitable) than it does right now, if your passion for travel __7__ (contain) as you avoid mixing with others.

六、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every sentence we speak shows something about who we are as humans. Even people speaking the same language have distinct dialects. __1__ Whether you say “soda” or “pop” may reveal what country and what region you are from. What you call the night before Halloween may tie to your religious beliefs.
__2__ Plants and animals that are given names in any language are generally those that are relevant to people speaking the language. The relevance comes from the way that the people have interacted with the animals and plants. In some cases, this has happened over centuries.
While we might think of language as having a fixed set of words and rules that we learn in school, in fact language is always evolving. New words emerge while others fall out of use. Pronunciation changes over time as does the meaning of words. __3__.
Our ability to learn language develops when we are young. Sounds heard as infants, or even in the womb, set the stage for language learning later. Baby cooing is the result of babies' analysis of the languages spoken to them. __4__ Children exposed to multiple languages early in life, and growing up multilingual, develop enhanced cognitive functions. These may include the ability to focus and ignore distractions.
Languages are as diverse as the communities that speak them. Each of the approximately 7，000 world languages is a testimony to a community's unique human experience. Yet, many languages around the world are endangered. It is possible that as many as half of the world's languages could go silent by the end of this century. Why? __5__ But they boil down to social inequalities and disrespect for others.
A．The reasons are complex.
B．Languages change with time.
C．These are rooted in their history and culture.
D.What kind of slang you use may come from the habits of place you grew up in.
E.Language also shows the connections between us and our natural environment.
F. Babies are practicing the pronunciation of sounds that they need for communication.
G．People also borrow words from languages other than their own to add to their own vocabulary.

Labor class, part of our school courses, is required in primary and middle schools every week. The new course arrangement stresses the importance of labor education since it strengthens students’ awareness of labor and develops their practical skills.
Now the labor course varies from cooking to cleaning and planting, of which I like planting most. Such a specific topic can always interest me because it offers me opportunities to endure hardships and get close to nature. When I’m involved in the planting process, the cycle of sowing, fertilizing and harvesting can bring me a sense of satisfaction and achievement, so I really consider it the best way to relax myself. Thanks to labor class, I’ve found my personal interest and become a well-rounded student!
