are officially endangered According to statistics 95% of the world's population only speaks 6-person to the Existing 7000 languages This means that only 6% speak all the other languages Some languages have fewer than a dozen speakers There are several reasons why languages become extinct A key reason is the influence of the dominant languages Generally dominant languages are associated with higher Social Status and education People who move to urban areas are forced to learn the dominant langua
ge In most cases the children do not learn their native language In addition many rural communities give up their linguistic heritage In an attempt to assimilate into mainstream culture For example India has lost 220 of 780 languages in the last 50 years Once Hindi was recognized as the official language of India The number of Hindi speakers increased from 260 million to over 420 million Another reason languages May cease to exist is that the people who speak and endangered language maybe in phy

his knowledge I've mastered psychology I even understand the great theoretical teachings of science such as relativity There is nothing that I don't know Whether it's the movements of celestial objects like planets and stars Or how to use the power of radioactive substances I know everything But actually there was something The Bachelor did not know Although his analytical abilities were great He failed to notice he was missing something very important in his life One day while walking through

the drivers using his medical knowledge He carefully help them out of their vehicles And then called an ambulance The drivers were saved And furthermore The Bachelor felt the best he had in his entire life Studying sociology and geology Didn't give him this wonderful feeling It was the act of helping others not his cognitive skills that gave him this great feeling Kid learned an important lesson He learned that intellect isn't everything Being helpful is just as important Having only a brain is

However it is now becoming more prevalent Scientists and doctors are hopeful about the future uses of microchips Someday all new babies might get a microchip soon after they are born Doctors will be able to know about any problems from the very beginning It is obvious that medicine and computers complement each other well Acid Acid An acid is a chemical that can burn or dissolve other substances In chemistry class we mixed two acids together and watch the reaction Administration Administration

y The twins went to dr. Murray who was a pioneer of new surgical methods Is dynamic team of Surgeons performs the transplant Dr. Murray made sure his surgeons followed a rigid sequence of directions so that no mistakes worm First they made a minimal cut in Richard's side and remove the bad kidney Then they made another small cut in Ronald side removed his kidney And transferred it into Richard's body Finally they sewed up the respective Scots The entire operation only took about 1 hour After the
surgery it was clear that both brothers were going to be okay The operation was confirmed to success Richard's new kidney works great Doctors prescribed medicine for the pain caused by the surgery Since Richard was still weak Use physical therapy to rebuild his strength At last Richards transition into a healthy happy person was complete Dr. Murray became a hero in the medical world His success gave other doctors confidence to try organ transplants themselves Now dunkers perform similar life-sa

can obstruct this type of reproduction For example Adult males and females carry different genes needed to make an embryo If the genes are homogeneous The babies are weaker and have genetic problems Overtime the week in species dies out completely This makes it necessary for the mail to be involved However scientists verify that when Komodo babies are born Their genes aren't the exact same genes as their mother Also They are devoid of any genetic problems Scientists theorize that Komodo dragons
develop the ability because it helps the species avoid Extinction If a volcano erupts Mama can kill all of the Komodo dragons on an island However as long as an individual female avoids death She can prolong the survival of the species Luckily Komodo dragons are bigger is swimmers So the surviving female can Plunge Into The Ocean and swim to another Island When she comes ashore she can reproduce by herself Overtime the genes within the population diverge Then the small population increases Final

people of these countries No longer had to worry about smallpox However many of the needy people in poorer parts of the world still suffered from the disease Their countries could not afford the vaccine Nor supply enough doctors to curb the spread of smallpox In 1950 The wealthier countries of the world vowed to rid the world of the disease They worked out a coherent strategy to do this They pledged to supply the vaccine to any country that could not afford it Scientist compiled lists of areas
where the disease still thrived Then doctors diagnosed people who had the disease in these areas They enacted laws that prohibited people with smallpox From mixing with those who did not In this way They could not transmit the disease to others Then the doctors gave all of them the vaccine It took a long time and a lot of work But nearly 30 years later on December 9th 1979 A group of scientists certified that smallpox had been successfully stopped The Humane efforts of people from all over the w
