填空题Ebonics
Ebonics—also known by a host of other names such as African American Vernacular English, Black English, Black Vernacular, and so on—is an African-American language that has its roots in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as African captives devised the means to communicate with each other and with their captors. In the South of the United States, these Pan-African languages co-mingled with Standard English and the Southern dialect. Many uniquely African-American components have arisen over the last two centuries, and all of these influences have forged what is now known as Ebonics.
In 1996, debates around the nature of "Ebonics" in the United States came to a head. That year, the Oakland Unified School District in California enacted Resolution 597-003, which officially recognised that African-American students "as part of their culture and history as African people possess and utilize a language". Alternatively referred to as Ebonics (literally "black sounds"), African Communication Behaviours, and African Language Systems, this language was declared to be "genetically-based" rather than a dialect of Standard English.
Within the profession of language research and pedagogy, a strong consensus formed behind the OUSD"s decision to recognise Ebonics. Linguistics professor John Rickford noted that Ebonics was not simply characterised by erroneous grammar and a large slang vocabulary, but that underlying this language was a structured form and process of grammar and phonology that made English learning for Ebonics speakers far more complex a task than simply dropping bad habits. English teachers, Rickford counselled, must therefore accept and embrace these complexities.
The Linguistic Society of America (LSA) concurred with Rickford, adding that whether or not Ebonics should be defined as a dialect or a language does not matter in terms of its "validity". While linguists studying Ebonics typically restrain from prescribing edicts in favour of tracking changes in form and style, the LSA did point to the fact that speakers of Swedish and Norwegian can typically understand each other while conversing in different "languages" whereas Mandarin and Cantonese speakers cannot understand each other"s "dialects" to conclude that spatial and social tensions, rather than strict linguistic criteria, were the crucial factors in defining these terms.
For many others, however, the OUSD"s decision was tantamount to endorsing lazy, vulgar and "broken" English—the equivalent, perhaps, of acknowledging "txt" speak or Internet slang as a valid form of expression. Recognising and fostering the use of informal, culturally-specific spoken language, say these detractors, traps users in a kind of linguistic ghetto in which they can interact with other disenfranchised and excluded citizens, but cannot engage within the public sphere in a meaningful way. Because of the dominance of Standard English in the United States, Ebonics-only speakers are essentially unable to go to university and work in high-valued professions, and they are unlikely to be electable to any kind of public office (even in areas with a high density of black residents, those who lose their Ebonics-tinged speech patterns tend to be more trusted).
Psychology professor Ladonna Lewis Rush has noted, however, that the OUSD"s resolution did not promote Ebonics instruction as an alternative to Standard English in an either-or approach, but was intended to provide a better springboard for black achievement in English education. The systematic de-valuation of Ebonics in American society parallels, Rush has argued, the de-valuation of African-Americans in general. While a demeaning attitude can lead to social exclusion, teachers are suggested to think inclusively and encourage Ebonics speakers to use and celebrate their way of speaking while understanding that the language of the workplace, and of academics, is Standard English. Nobel Prize-winning journalist Toni Morrison has also found a reciprocal, mutually enriching use for both Ebonics and Standard English. "There are certain ideas and ways of thinking I cannot say without recourse to my [Ebonics] language...I know the Standard English. I want to use it to restore the other language, the lingua franca."
In the media, the Ebonics controversy has mostly been portrayed as a revival of black-versus-white confrontation—this time over linguistic differences—but journalist Joan Walsh thinks there are basic elements inherent in the dispute that people do not want to openly discuss. She considers that there is increasing resentment by black parents and teachers who see enormous amounts of federal and state support going into Asian and Latino bilingual programmes. As immigration continues to increase, a greater proportion of the school budget is going into these programmes. The question has to be raised: why should immigrant children get English-language assistance as well as reinforcement of their own language and culture while native-born African-Americans get no such resources? Walsh maintains inner city black children are more isolated than in the past and have less social interaction with those fluent in Standard English. For this reason they need help by trained teachers to translate the native tongue they hear at home into the English of the classroom.
Ebonics should be treated as a black contribution to culture in the way that jazz and rock-and-roll has been welcomed—the new vocabulary and imagery has added to the American language rather than devalued it. In Walsh"s eyes there has always been "white mistrust of how black people handle their business", but "in the public realm, white disdain yields black intransigence more reliably than "i" comes before "e"."

Chickens
As pets and useful garden
animals Before making a decision whether to keep
chickens either as pets or convenient egg-layers and insect- eaters, it would be
wise to check with the local council. Regulations vary from region to region
and, although some cities still allow residents to keep chickens, the practice
is far from usual today. Some communities prohibit roosters because of their
early morning crowing and only allow the much quieter hens. However, in most
rural areas, there are generally no restrictions on keeping chickens either as
ornamental or practical birds. There are some Asian ornamental
varieties with eye-catching plumage: the Cochin and Silkie from China have
distinctive feathery feet and the Phoenix from Japan has a strikingly long tail.
These are examples of birds that have been imported by western countries to
serve mainly ornamental purposes, even appearing in exhibitions.
Chickens do not have to be especially beautiful to make loving and gentle
companions and raising a few as garden pets is not at all difficult. The main
concern is protection from predators—both domestic predators such as dogs and
wild predators such as stoats and weasels. Backyard poultry need a secure place
to roost at night. A cage or other structure which provides shelter, perches and
nesting boxes with a lock-up door will suffice. Straw or non-toxic wood shavings
can be spread on the floor and in the nesting boxes. Nocturnal predators are a
danger and most chickens cannot flap their wings well enough to escape from
peril. However, as they will naturally return to the same roost at night, they
will enter the cage of their own volition as dusk falls and as long as the door
is shut after them, they will remain secure till morning. If the birds are
expected to stay in the chicken coop all day, a much larger structure is called
for. Chickens which are allowed to roam around the back garden
during the day will prove to be safe, natural and effective methods of insect
control. Not only that, but their constant scratching in search of insects will
take care of unwanted weeds under bushes and other plants and even provide some
beneficial soil cultivation. Chickens are great recyclers too and will eat
almost any kind of kitchen scraps—leftovers and wastage are turned into usable,
fresh, nutritious eggs! One of the benefits of free- ranging poultry is that
they are exposed to the benefit of abundant sunshine which is a great health
boost. On the other hand, wet weather can be perilous and make them more prone
to disease. A planned approach to disease and parasite control is needed for the
general health and well-being of backyard fowls. This may include a vaccination
programme, health supplements in their feed, and keeping them in a clean, dry
pen in times of extremely rainy weather. In dry weather, there is nothing more
luxurious for a hen than a good dust bath to take care of mites and other
problems. Young chicks are effortlessly turned into tame pets by hand feeding
and simply spending time with them. Older hens also respond well to being fed by
hand or they can be helped to forage for themselves if small rocks and other
items are turned over allowing them access to the bugs and worms beneath. In
both these cases, human presence is undoubtedly associated with food and will
not only be tolerated but welcomed. Thus, companionship is assured and sought
after! Chickens are said to be loyal, intelligent and even cheeky but it
probably depends on the depth of their avian-human relationships.
Breeding chickens will obviously require a rooster to fertilise the hens'
eggs. If local by-laws allow it, invest in a rooster and watch his fascinating
courting behaviour. Typically, when he finds food, he clucks in a high pitch to
attract the hens and lets them eat first. When he is courting a particular hen,
he may circle her, dragging one wing on the ground—attracting her attention in
this way is just part of the mating ritual. When a hen goes
'broody', she stops laying eggs and sits on the nest to incubate the clutch of
eggs under her. She will rarely leave the nest during this stage, even to eat or
drink, because she must keep the eggs at a constant temperature and humidity.
Incubation takes approximately three weeks but the eggs do not hatch all at the
same time so she will stay on the nest for a few more days. After the eggs have
hatched, she will take care of the new chicks. This is a time when it is
naturally important to keep predators away. Raising chickens
can be a satisfying and enjoyable hobby. They do not need as much care and
attention as most pets and there is always the reward of wholesome and
nourishing eggs to look forward to. Do the following statements
