Question

12．閱讀下面短文，按照要求完成閱讀任務(wù)．
    HOW do you tell others you are speechless via text messages without too much explanation？Standard texts can be boring，and sometimes your emotions get lost in it，You have to be so good at using descriptive language to express your exact feelings．Hence the birth of the Emoji-cake with lit candles to say"Happy Birthday"，or a grinning （笑嘻嘻） face with a party hat to show"I"m having a great time"．
    For those who aren't in the know yet，．Emoji-which come from Japanese and translate to"picture letter"-expand on the idea of the emoticon（情感符號）with cute，detailed，full color graphics．Instead of just typing a colon and parenthesis¨：）"，you can choose from a grinning face with its eyes closed，a winking（眨眼） sticking its tongue out or a red-cheeked face with its eyes lowered in embarrassment． There are also  several Emoji hearts，ranging from swelling red ones，broken ones to those、with an arrow shot through them．
  And that's just the tip of the iceberg．The Emoji vocabulary also includes many objects from everyday life，such as animals，electronic appliances，tools，food and vehicles．With  some creativity you can make an entire sentence using only these cute symbols．
    Emoji might seem like a juvenile（幼稚的）form of  communication，and some even argue that they will cause people's language  skills to decline．But fans say they are humorous and take the edge away from serious conversations．
    Emoji have become so popular that an American named Fred Benenson recently launched a project called"Emoji Dick"．His intention is to translate US writer Herman Melville's masterpiece Moby Dick （《白鯨》）into Emoji．Why is he doing this？He explained himself this way to The New Yorker．
"I'm interested in the phenomenon of how our language，communications，and culture are influenced by digital technology．Emoji are either a low point or a high point in that story，so I felt I could confront a lot of our shared anxieties about the future of human expression by forcing a great work of literature through such a strange new filter（濾鏡）．"
