Heritage（遗产） is traditional customs， culture and beliefs（信仰）． We use the world "heritage" in many different ways． People talk about their family heritage， their city's heritage， and their country's heritage．
Today， heritage is changing． The Internet connects people around the world． In many ways this is a good thing， because we can learn about the heritage of other countries， and we can show our own heritage to the world． However， some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing． Think about it． In many ways， countries are becoming more and more alike（相似的）． In just about every country around the world， you can find MacDonald's， Nike Shoes， Starbucks coffee， and American movies． Some people think this is a good change， and others don't like it． You can decide whether or not you think it's a good thing． However， everyone wants to protect their traditional heritage， and sometimes this is hard． For example， when a new MacDonald's opens in your town， a traditional restaurant might have to close．
This is why heritage protection is so important． Heritage protection is a simple idea． It means keeping your country's or your city's heritage alive． People do this in many ways． The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving（保护） old buildings． A few other examples of heritage protection are making sure your children speak your traditional language， and teaching your heritage to children．
The world is changing very fast． This change brings a lot of good things． But as the world is changing， it is important to remember the heritage of our parents and our grandparents．

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved form day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth. At the equator(赤道), day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long.. The sun rises at 6 in the morning and sets at 6 in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights.

We recycle rubbish, so why not language? Recycling language means using vocabulary that you have learnt before again and again. However, unlike rubbish that piles up (堆积) in our environment, if we do not recycle language, we simply forget it. So how do you recycle language?
There are basically three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favourite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably guess right. The second way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favourite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your won words. After you have don this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don’t worry if you have made mistakes. That’s how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favourite articles at home. You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel.According to the passage, recycling language means _____ .
| A．repeating vocabulary at times |
| B．revising vocabulary at a proper time |
| C．learning new vocabulary as much as possible |
