We all have a rapid choice: we can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well. Or we can embrace (拥抱) the new English, enter into the spirit of the Internet age called Weblish.―You can’t avoid it,for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along, it inevitably (不可避免的) impacts(冲击)on the language as a whole.‖ s ays Dr. David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics(语言学)at the University of Wales in Bangor, whose book Language and the Internet has just been published.The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not so much that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past, if someone said they did not have Windows, you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. These days, it is probably because they use a Mac (which is a computer, not a rain coat). Spam is as disliked as it ever was ,but it once meant an unappetizing(引不起食欲的)canned meat. It now stands for unwanted ―junk‖ email. Spellings are changing, too. Not only is text-messaging playing ―hvc wthvrbs‖ (havoc(混乱)with verbs), but the conventions of email communication place little emphasis on ―perfect speaking‖.Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs (―please bookmark this site‖), and verbs become nouns (―Send me the download‖). Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives (e.g. dial-up, logon, print-on-demand, pull-down, upload), while others are created from simply pairing nouns: cyberspace, Etl, hyperlink, netspeak.1.The best title of this passage would be ______.A. Keep Up with the Latest WeblishB. Keep Up with the Latest DevelopmentC. Newly Invented English WordsD. Technology and English2.We can infer(推断)from the first paragraph that ______.A. Some people wish Shakespeare were still aliveB. people may have different attitudes towards WeblishC. all people welcome WeblishD. Weblish is not popular among people3.The author thinks the main difficulty for people in keeping up with Weblish is that ______.A. old words have new meaningsB. there are so many new wordsC. the technology is changing too fastD. Weblish words are full of spelling mistakes4.Dr. David Crystal would probably agree that ______.A. people should not accept WeblishB. Weblish can cause misunderstandings among peopleC. Weblish will destroy the English languageD. people should know something about WeblishBIn my experience, one of the greatest reasons of unhappiness is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different–we cry out for something better.That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something that has been grown in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn’t that we want things to be different, however, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, ―It’s not bad or good, but it just is.‖Here is an example.I have written a paper, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind.Quite a few people think it bad after reading it because I think people should expect things to go differently than you planned, and that you should accept that, instead of encouraging people to change themselves or the environment as much as possible.You could accept it as the way the world works–as the way things actually are.And try to understand why that is, and follow it, as it is.This can be useful to whatever you do: whether it be how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they’re that way.It’ll save you a lot of sadness because you’ll no longer say, ―Oh, I wish things didn’t go bad!‖If you really understand what I mean, you can try a different way to live in this world:accept, andCLiving in a foreign culture there are many times when I realize that my perspective (观点) on life is drastically different from those Koreans I interact (相互影响) with on a daily basis. This past week I have been greatly challenged to change my perspective and here is why.My dream in life is to become a doctor, one who changes the world. But last week I opened an email from UBC that contained the words ―regrets‖, no interview. I didn’t get an interview to medical school, thus will not be entering school for September 2009. My immediate reaction was one of extreme disappointment and anger—mostly directed at myself for not working hard enough, for not seeking out the opportunities necessary to have a good application, for simply not being good enough. My mind was full of hopelessness and despair that left me with no desire to further seek for the dream that I’ve held for quite a time now.During the past week two things happened. At church our pastor mentioned perspective in a section of his sermon (说教). He stated that when we take our eyes off ourselves and realize God’s greatness, our circumstances will be seen through a new perspective.The second thing that reminded me to look at perspective was reading a book. The Mitford Series is so good if you are looking for books to read. So last night I was reading and one of the main characters (who is a priest) is trying to figure out what to say at church. His sermon ended up saying ―In everything we give thanks.‖ It is easy to give thanks when we feel successful in life. It is easy to give thanks when we receive a blessing. But seriously, who in their right mind says thanks for the financial problems I have?1. Where does the author probably live now?A. In the USA.B. In Britain.C. In China.D. In Korea.2. How did she feel when the author received the email from UBC?A. Surprised.B. Disappointed.C. Excited.D. Pleased.3. In the first pastor’s view, when we face disappointment or despair, we should _________.A. turn to God for helpB. say thanks to itC. see it in another wayD. praise others for it4. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author can’t really free from the disappointment.B. The author thinks the second sermon is wiser.C. The author still wants to be a doctor.D. The author thanks God for not being admitted by the university.1.A. B. Atlantic City Beach Office.C. 368 Cooper Square, New York, NYD. 866 United, New York, NY 10017.2.What does a person need most to be the one-hour weekday job?A. He should be cheerful, dependable, and easy-going.B. He has to work from Monday to Friday.C. He can remain calm in a difficult situation.D. He can welcome guests and deal with phone calls.3.According to the above information, what is the right thing to do when you swim?A. To keep close to the beach.B. To dive into unknown waters.C. To use floating toys on the water.D. To swim soon after lunch.4.The best title for the last piece of information would be_________.A. Tips on Showing Interest in a JobB.
