The Port of Vancouver is Canadas largest and most various port, trading more than $43 billion in goods with more than 90 trading economies annually.

The language itself is similar to the Gaelic tongues spoken in the island's neighbours, Ireland and Scotland. A century ago, “Moghrey mie” would have been commonly heard instead of “Good morning” on the island. “In the 1860s there were thousands of Manx people who couldn't speak English,” says Stowell. “But only a century later it was considered to be so backward to speak the language that there were stories of Manx speakers getting stones thrown at them in the towns. I learnt it myself from one of the last surviving native speakers back in the 1950s.”Recession in the mid19th century forced many Manx people to leave the island to seek work in England. And parents were not willing to pass the language down through the generations, with many people believing that to have Manx as the first language would affect job opportunities overseas. There was a fall in the language. By the early 1960s there were perhaps as few as 200 who spoke the tongue. The last native speaker, Ned Maddrell, died in 1974. UNESCO pronounced that the language died out in the 1990s. Now there is even a Manx language primary school in which all subjects are taught in this language, with more than 60 pupils attending it. Manx is also taught in other schools across the island. 28. If you spoke Manx in a pub on the island in the 1960s, you would_.A. be attacked B. be praisedC. be ignored D. be encouraged 29. What does “ Moghrey mie” mean according to the passage?A. All the best. B. Congratulations.C. Never mind. D. Good morning.30. Which of the following about Brian Stowell is TRUE?A. He is a teacher from Ireland.B. He wrote a novel in English.C. He works at a radio station.D. He learned Manx in the 1950s. 31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The Manx language.B. The life of Manx people.C. The Manx Island.D. The Manx language schools. DUS private rocket company SpaceX has announced that two private citizens have paid to be sent around the Moon.
