22、 had made the ball too slippery to pull out by hand. So my daughter and I began our race to the vets(兽医诊所).About halfway there, we got caught in traffic jams due to construction. I began wildly sounding my horn(喇叭), hoping to attract help, and ended up catching the eye of several construction worker

23、s. In an anxious voice, I told them what had happened to my dog. By then Jett was lying in the backseat, not moving. Cavaja Holt was one of the workers standing there. He stuck his hand down the dogs throat and pulled out the ball, but Jett still wasnt breathing.And the guy behind Holt shouted out,

24、Breathe into his mouth! Breathe into his mouth! And Holt did. It worked! Jett soon began breathing again. After my dog was saved, I continued my trip to the vets to make sure Jett was OK, and by the time I arrived the dog seemed to be doing much better. The staff there checked the dog over and said

25、Jett was in good health.Later on, I realized I was so anxious that I forgot to ask the mans name and thank him on the spot. My daughter posted the story on the Internet, asking to locate him.

29、is fear that, with his death, the language would no longer exist.Naati is just an example of endangered languages. Today, 50% to 90% of the worlds languages are considered at risk of falling out of use by the end of the century.Over the last 10 years, this crisis has attracted more public attention.

30、 While we praise previous efforts made to protect dying languages native to specific places and spoken by aboriginal(土著的) people, lets stop and ask: Why does it matter?Should Naatis fate concern the world? Many speakers of endangered languages, including Ariep, communicate fluently in other language

31、s. Is the hope of saving these small languages just a romantic idea of unrealistic scholars?As a linguist, Im on the opposite side of those answering yes.

35、isappearing, more is lost than just certain bits of information. Understanding language is vital to understanding human cognition. Every language presents us with a piece of the puzzle for finding out how language works in our mind, without which we are prevented from seeing the full picture.For eve

39、 with little to no oxygen, Mars is an unfriendly environment. Besides, the longer it takes astronauts to get there and the longer they stay, the more they are at risk.Thats why scientists are looking at ways to reduce trip time.

40、fered a solution: an NTP engine that could get humans from Earth to Mars in just three months. Such an engine takes advantage of nuclear technology. Currently, the shortest possible trip for an unmanned spacecraft is seven months, but a manned mission is expected to take at least nine months. Shorte

41、r missions would limit the astronauts exposure to space radiation, but there is still concern about the radiation sent out from the nuclear reactor inside the spacecraft. This would be mitigated through the rockets design.To protect people on the ground, the NTP spacecraft would not lift off directl

42、y from Earth, Jeff Sheehy, a NASA scientist, adds. Instead, a regular chemical rocket would carry it into orbit, and only then would it fire up its nuclear reactor. Once in orbit, it could do little harm, as heat radiation cannot move through a vacuum(真空). If disaster hit and the rockets reactor bro

43、ke up, the pieces would not land on Earth-or any other planet-for thousands of years. By that time, the radioactive substance would have naturally got to the point where itt wasnt dangerous anymore.Michael Eades, director of engineering at USNC-Tech, says that nuclear-powered rockets would be more p

44、owerful and twice as efficient as the chemical engines used today, meaning they could travel further and faster, while burning less fuel. Nuclear-powered rockets will be key to opening up the solar system but it could be at least two decades before they are used widely, he says, adding that numerous
