We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms. Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some of them are.
BTW (by the way)   BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations (縮寫), They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
Info (information) purer (computer)
Pie (picture)       sec (second)
We usually don’t see people when we communicate (交流) on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw “feeling”. such as:
:-)( happy)    :-p(joking)   :-( (sad)  :-0(surprised)
These days, many forums (論壇) have picture feelings. For example,

There are even whole new words, like” newbie’s”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum).
It takes time for people to get used to (適應(yīng)) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internets grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
小題1: What does the underline “acronyms” mean?
A.網(wǎng)友        B.聊天室      C.首字母縮寫詞
小題2: Why do people type acronyms?
A. to show their feelings.
B. Because people can type them quickly.
C. In this way newbie’s won’t understand them.
小題3: What does” BTW, my purer is not working well.:-(“mean?
A. The person is angry at somebody.
B. The person is happy about getting a new computer.
C. The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
小題4: E-talk wills probably          .
A. keep changing.
B. be easy by people on the telephone
C. be used by people on the telephone
小題5:What’s the best title for this passage?
A. E-talk language
B. Picture Feelings
C. How to Use Abbreviations

小題1: C           
小題1:B
小題1:C
小題1:A
小題1:A

【主旨大意】本文主要介紹了一下用來在網(wǎng)上聊天或交流的e-talk.本文主要介紹了三種e-talk。一是“acronyms”首字母縮寫詞;二是“abbreviations”縮寫詞;三是feelings。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中所舉的四個例子“BTB(by the way); BRB(be right back); LOL(laughing out loud); IMO(in my opinion)”可判斷acronyms是“首字母縮寫詞”的意思,故選C。

小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)縮寫詞"puter(computer)" 及feelings 標志“:-(  (sad)”可知選項C是正確的。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的最后一句話“As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.”可推斷為選項A。由最后一段的第一句話“It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. ”可知B項是錯誤的;根據(jù)第一段的第二句話和第一句話“In recent years, a new kind of English has grown in the Internet. There is no real word for it yet, so we will call it e-talk.”可知e-talk是在Internet上使用的,所以C項是錯誤的。故選A。

Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs, teachers find students' posture (姿勢) and attention improve.
Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. "The students love them", she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. "Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico ('波多黎各) and Japan," says Witt. "Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch (低頭垂肩地坐) on a ball," says Witt, "but it feels awful." Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen (氧氣 to the brain (大腦), so the kids have more energy and can focus longer.
"Furthermore, they're fun." says Pownali.
小題1: What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will _________.
A.pay more attention to his lessons B.be fun
C.like to move aroundD.sit up straighter
小題2: How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?
A.About three years. B.Only one year.
C.In 2008. D.Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.
小題3: In how many countries are the balls used as the students' chairs?
A.Four. B.Three. C.Two. D.One.
小題4:Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids___________.
A.improve the students' posture and attentionB.slouch on the chairs
C.have funD.Both A and C are correct answers.
小題5:Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?
A.Sitting on a chair.B.Sitting on a ball.
C.They are the same.D.We don't know.

Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of schools bags being too heavy for them.
"It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy, "said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.

What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.  
Some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.  
In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to collect and recycle their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升級).  
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.  
The computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things—and cut down on waste, too.  
小題1: How do people usually deal with their old computers?
