Throughout our day, storefronts and websites announce themselv

8、es, first and foremost, through the typefaces (字体) they use. For Adonian Chan, a 33-year-old graphic designer born in Hong Kong and co-founder of design company Trilingua, the different texts we encounter in our daily lives amount to what he calls a “visual landscape”. In his hometown, signs written

9、 in traditional Chinese characters can be found around every corner. One calligraphy style, above all, has come to represent Hong Kong for Chan: Beiwei Kaishu, a dynamic way of writing that has its origins in 4th-century China. After World War I II, Beiwei Kaishu was used in Hong Kong signs, partly

10、because it is highly legible, even from far distances. What sets Beiwei Kaishu apart from other Chinese writing styles is its unique construction, striking lines and unexpected angles, says Chan. But with the appearance of computer-generated typefaces and LED signs, Chan says he observed that signs

11、written in the style were disappearing from Hong Kong. As a consequence, few designers working today are aware of the Beiwei Kaishu style, he says. In 2016,Chan asked Wong Gok Longa master of calligraphy in Hong Kong, to teach him to write in the Beiwei Kaishu style. Chan then started the process of

12、 digitizing the characters. He first wrote the characters on paper with a brush and ink, which gave him a sense of proportion. Next, he made a pencil sketch (素描). Finally, he recreated the characters digitally, using a computer program called Glyphs. He has named his typeface Beiwei Zansyu and hopes

13、 it will eventually appear on phones and computers. “Chans effort is more than missing bygone eras its reinterpreting and continuing our heritage (遗产) ins more contemporary life,” says Keith Tam, head of communication design at the Hong Kong Design Institute.4What does the underlined word “legible”

16、sign influence our life?According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages that are estimated as being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers bel

17、ieve that by the end of the century, at least half of the world s languages will have died. This is troublesome, given that cultural identity and languages go hand in hand.Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages are fighting back tooth and nail. Scientists believe that dig

18、italization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world.For instance, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago. It is an initiative that boosts “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promotin

19、g languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, yet have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them.There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the

20、 Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. It will also have a high life expectancy of anywhere between 2,000 and 10,0

21、00 years. Initiatives like these havetheir primary objective to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.Countless languages are dying every day, and they will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot merely rely on digitization to

22、deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages an opportunity to bounce back and survive .8What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show?AMany languages are endangered.BCulture determines language evolution.CHuman deve

25、ollowing can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph?ABe enriched.BBe lost.CBe acquired.DBe invented.In an office building of Helsinki, Finland, a social worker is meeting six elderly people for lunch-via tablets propped on their kitchen tables. While many countries with growing e

26、lderly populations are building new care homes, Finland is looking after people in their own homes-by means of technology. The most common reason for a home visit by a social worker is to check that Grandma is taking her medicine. A pill-dispensing (配药的) robot in her home can do that. Each holds a t

27、wo-week supply of multiple drugs, gives a reminder when it is time to take them and dispenses the right combination. For one in five people who try them the robots dont work, usually because Grandma is reluctant to take lots of pills. But for the rest, they have cut medication-related visits from 30

28、 to just four a month. The idea of old folk living alone perhaps worries Finnish people less than many others; Finns pride themselves on their rugged self-reliance. A welcome pack for foreign journalists includes a book of cartoons depicting “Finnish nightmares”, such as having to say “hello to a ne

29、ighbour. Social isolation, however, is a big problem for the elderly because it leads to faster cognitive and physical decline. To deal with that, Helsinki runs virtual get-togethers for its homebound elderly. These should be regarded as extras, though. A degree of personal interaction, not just the

30、 virtual kind, is surely necessary even for Finns. The biggest challenge for both humans and devices is to spot problems early. Local tech companies, including MariCare Oy and Benete, have developed systems to gather data on things like how often a person visits the bathroom or opens the fridge. Car

31、e workers use such data to prioritise whom to visit and what to check for. Not opening the fridge as often, for example, is a hint that memory problems may be getting worse. The biggest gain from technology may be that it makes it easier to keep old people fit enough to remain in their own homes. Th

There are countless books promising to help you, but these attempts

36、 dont always work. _16_The core problem is that the potential supply of new tasks is endless. Get faster at completing work projects and youll simply be given more work, thanks to your reputation as an efficient employee. Its the personal equivalent of what happens when a new lane is added to a moto

Or perhaps youre willing to sacrifice a reputation as the best worker in your office because your side business as a jewellery designer is worth it. _20_ Otherwise, itll get made for youand you may find yourself replying to emails
