- The combination of music and study has long been a source of disagreement between adults and children. Parents and teachers alike maintain that silence is important when learning, (31) ….. youngsters insist that their favourite sounds help them concentrate.

Now a study shows the grown-ups have been right all along. Psychologists in Florida tested how fast students wrote essays with and without music in the (32) ……. .They found that the sounds slowed progress down by about sixty words per hour. 'This demonstrates clearly that it is difficult to cope with listening and writing at the same time,' said Dr Sarah Randall. She also(33) ……. to conclusion that it is a myth that instrumental music is less distracting that vocals. 'All types of music had the same effect,' she said in her report. 'One's ability to pay attention and write fluently is likely to be disturbed.(34)….. both vocal and instrumental music,' she added.

Dr Randall claimed the research demonstrated that the idea that music could improve performance was wrong. 'Writing and essay is a complex task. You are recalling information and putting it in order. An additional stimulus in the form of music is bound to distract. But music is not the only distractor. What is (35)…… worrying is that more and more teenagers are studying in front of the television.

- During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of reform movements, including the movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and, most importantly, to free slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including Loyd Garrison and Wendel Philips, also supported the rights of women to speak and participate equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and the conditions of others.

- When the Civil War ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted the citizenship and the right to vote to blacks, not women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1969 the Wyoming Territory had yielded the demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than before. A women's suffrage bill had been presented to every congress since 1878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote.

- In the Native American Navajo nation which sprawls across four states in the American south-west, the native language is dying. Most of its speakers are middle-age or elderly. Although many students take classes in Navajo, the schools are, run in English. Street sign, supermarket goods and even their own newspaper are all in English. Not surprisingly, linguists doubt that any native speakers of Navajo will remain in a hundred years’time.

Navajo is far from alone. Half the world’s 6,800 languages are likely to vanish within two generations - that’s one language lost every ten days. Never before has the planet’s linguistic diversity shrunk at such a pace. Isolation breeds linguistic diversity as a result, the world is peppered with languages spoken by only a few people. Only 250 languages have more than a million speakers, and at least 3,000 have fewer than 2,500. It is not necessarily these small languages that are about to disappear. Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers.

What makes a language endangered is not that the number of speakers, but how old they are. If it is spoken by children it is relatively safe. The critically endangered languages are those that are only spoken by the elderly, according to Michael Krauss, director of the Alaska Native Language Center, inFairbanks. 

Why do people reject the language of their parent? It begins with a crisis of confidence, when a small community finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier society, says Nicholas Ostler of Britain’s Foundation for Endangered Languages, in Bath, “People lose faith in their culture” he says. “When the next generation reaches their teens, they might not want to be induced into the old tradition.” The change is not always voluntary. Quite often, governments try to kill off a minority language by banning its use in public or discouraging its use in school, all to promote national unity. The former US policy of running Indian reservation in English, for example, effectively put languages such as Navajo on the danger list. But Salikoko.Mufwene, who chairs the Linguistics Department at the University of Chicago, argues that the deadliest weapon is not government policy but economic globalisation. “Native Americans have not lost pride in their language, but they have had to adapt to socio-economic pressures” he says. “They cannot refuse to speak English if most commercial activity is in English.”

However, a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direct predictions from coming true. ‘The key to fostering diversity is for people to learn their ancestraltongue, as wellas the dominant language’ says Doug Whalen, founder and president of the Endangered Language Fund in New Haven, Connecticut. “Most of these will not survive without a large degree of bilingualism” he says.
