Desperate to help his96-year-old mother to speak her mother tongue again,Keith McDermott made an appeal on social media and was met with a flood of kind responses.The old lady,Ray,was moved to tears after talking on the phone with one of the enthusiastic respondents in Welsh.
Ray moved to America after meeting her husband when she was only18,hence waving goodbye to her life in Wales.She continued to speak Welsh with her mum-keeping a little bit of home.But she lost her beloved mum four decades ago and hadn't spoken Welsh since.
Despite suffering from short-term memory loss and sometimes not remembering what she has done recently,Ray's childhood memories in Wales remain crystal clear.“She wants to return but I know,given
her age,such long-distance travel is out of the question.”said Keith,“Once she mentioned‘I wish I could speak Welsh again but l suppose I never will’It was then that I thought I should make her-wish happen.”
So Keith,70,posted on social media in the New York Welsh area asking for any Welsh speakers that could speak Welsh with his mum.And he was touched,as-well as-a little shocked,to receive over30responses within half an hour.Keith thanked everyone and eventually asked Melisa to give his mum a phone call.Speaking with Melisa,her(Ray’s)Welsh was a little rusty.A few more Welsh conversations and I think she’d be fluent again,”added Keith.
“When you have a parent in their nineties,you-will find you two have something in common: you’re both old,So I am very sympathetic to my mother?feelings of loneliness and isolation(孤立).I’m feeling it myself.”Keith hopes to set up more Welsh phone conversations for his-mum and Melisa has promised to send Ray some short stories in Welsh to remind her of her life in Wales.

Throughout history,many species of animals have been threatened with extinction When Europeans first arrived in North America,more than60million buffalo(水牛)lived on the continent.Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the19th century that by1900the animal's population had fallen to about400before the government stepped in to protect the species.In some countries today.the elephant faces a similar challenge,as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks.
Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat(威胁).The cow,for example,is a valuable source of food,but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct.Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant.while the commercial value of beef protects the cow?
The reason is that elephants are a common resource.While cows are private goods Elephants wander freely without any owners.The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find.Because illegal hunters are numerous,each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population.By contrast,cattle live on farms that are privately owned.Each farmer
makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts
Governments have tried to solve the elephant's problem in two ways.Some countries,such as Kenya and Uganda,have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory.Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect,and elephant populations have continued to dwindle.By contrast, other countries,such as Malawi and Namibia,have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants,but only those on their own property.
With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side,the African elephant might someday be as
safe from extinction as the cow.The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources:“What is common to many is taken least care of,for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others."
28.Why does the author mention buffalo in paragraph1?
A.To introduce a similar threat to elephants.
B.To provide an example of species extinction.
C.To offer an explanation for government policies.
D.To present the statistics of the buffalo in America.
29.Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe?
A.They are under different law protection
B.They attract different groups of hunters
C.They contain different commercial value
D.They represent different ownership types
30.What is paragraph4mainly about?
A.Bans on killing elephants for ivory
B.Effective laws for elephant protection.
C.Methods of making elephants private goods
D.Government policies on the elephant's problem
