17、 of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewe
18、r in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization. the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory(强制的) education. Especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many Languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as
19、 EnglishSpanish and Chinese are 7increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.（even adj.公平的；平均的） The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people, while hot.,wet zones have
20、 lots, often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000. Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6.000, which means that half the worlds
21、languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of, 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left.

25、e keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. Thats bad news for the environment and our wallets as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues
26、at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life from when its minerals are mined（开采 ） to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout（读数） for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were
27、 grouped by generation Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene（出现） in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we
28、didnt throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted（布置，安） in the kids room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,“ said one 10researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. Were not

According to the analysis of Babbitts team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007
30、window.So whats the solution（解决方案）? The teams data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve（提供；服务） more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-
