With the develpment f new media, the prmtin f Mandarin （普通话） and the wave f glbalizatin, the range f applicatin fr dialects （方言） has becme smaller. Dialects, t sme extent, are a culminatin （积淀） f lcal culture. If they are nt prtected and healthily passed dwn, this “crisis” might lead t their disappearance. Hwever, since the cncept f “language resurce” was intrduced, the status f dialects has been given renewed imprtance.
Dialects are a living frm f intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产）. As the saying ges, “It’s better t sell ancestral （祖先的） land than t abandn ancestral language.” Fr the recrding and preservatin f dialects, creating a language envirnment in which they can enjy a perid f grwth and success is vitally imprtant. Flk sngs, lcal peras, dialect curses, cmmunity invlvement, technlgical methds, and literary and artistic wrks can all play significant rles in the prtectin and inheritance （传承） f dialects.
Ca Xueqin was a native f Nanjing, and the Jia family in Dream f the Red Chamber is a distinguished family frm Jinling (ancient Nanjing). Accrding t statistics, there are ver 1,000 instances f Nanjing dialect in the masterpiece. Shen Cngwen’s Brder Twn vividly prtrays a “wrld f Western Hunan”. The lcals refer t cpper cins as “tngzi”, the additin f “zi” suggesting it’s just a small bject. This reflects the Western Hunan peple’s indifference t material wealth. In La She’s Rickshaw By, the “er” sund is everwhere, full f Beijing flavr.
In fact, the literary frms f Chinese dialect have been arund since ancient times and are vivid with varius flavrs. Never frget yur dialect and never frget the accent f yur hmetwn.

A new study n baby birds shws that traffic nise can affect their grwth and lead t lifelng harm. The finding raises new cncerns abut the effect f nise pllutin n wildlife—and humans as well.
Researchers already knew t much nise is likely t disturb birds, making it mre difficult fr the parents t cmmunicate with and care fr their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the nise itself culd directly harm yung birds.
Mylene Mariette, a behaviral eclgist at Deakin University, and her team set ut t answer that questin with birds held n campus in Melburne, Australia. Fr 5 nights in a rw, they played eggs either rad nise r bird sngs fr several hurs. The sunds were kept at a vlume f 65 decibels （分贝）—abut the same ludness as a cnversatin in a bar r city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received ne f tw treatments—rad nise r bird sngs—fr anther 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sunds in a separate rm, and then were returned t their nests.
Eggs expsed t traffic sunds were 19% less likely t hatch cmpared with thse expsed t the sund f sngs. It shws a clear effect f traffic nise, Mariette says. As the baby birds develped, they als shwed wrrying develpment signs. Thse expsed t nise grew slwer. Mrever, when thse birds grew up, they had abut half as many ffspring （后代） as the birds expsed t sngs as yungsters.
Hans Slabbekrn, an eclgist and animal behavir expert at Leiden University, ntes that these cncerns apply t humans as well. “The findings suggest that the acustic （听觉的） envirnment f birds in cities and alng highways shuld be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acustic cmfrt in hspital envirnments fr pregnant mthers and babies requires special attentin.” Eventually, the research might help reveal hw much and in what ways nise pllutin shuld be reduced.
（ ）32．What des paragraph 3 mainly fcus n abut the study?
A．Its prcess. B．Its result. C．Its difficulty. D．Its purpse.
（ ）33．Hw are the findings explained in paragraph 4?
A．By giving examples. B．By analyzing reasns.
C．By making cmparisns. D．By making predictins.
（ ）34．What d the findings indicate?
A．Mve the birds frm cities t prtected areas.
B．Make laws t clse highways and ther nisy places.
C．Educate peple n the bad effects f nise pllutin.
D．Pay special attentin t the hspital envirnment fr babies.
（ ）35．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Traffic nise helps birds cmmunicateB．Scientists have fund ways t reduce nise
C．Hspital envirnments are greatly affectedD．Traffic nise causes lifelng harm t baby birds
