China’s new popular word, “tuhao”, may be taken in next year’s Oxford English dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dictionary’s editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words.
“If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team. Kleeman told the Beijing Youth Daily that “tuhao” has some similarities with the English word “bling”, which refers to expensive, ostentatious (闊綽的) clothing or jewelry. Both the two words have existed for long but later on took a new meaning.
In Chinese, “tu” means rude and “hao” means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s rural areas. In recent years, people in the ACG (anime, comic and game) circle borrowed the term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable manner.
The word gained acceptance in September with the launch (投放) of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, an item loved by China’s nouveau riche (暴發(fā)戶). The color became known as “tuhao gold”.The word is now often used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it.
Kleeman also mentioned another Chinese word “dama” which may also be taken in the dictionary.
“Dama”, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal in May when thousands of Chinese women were buying up record number of gold. They were the driving force in the global gold market between April and June when the gold prices had dropped. “People can have an intuitive (直覺的)grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin”, Kleeman said adding that people avoided using an English word to keep the original meaning. The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months.
1.Why is the word “tuhao” likely to be taken in Oxford English Dictionary?
A.Because it represents noble and rich
B.Because it has the same meaning with an English word.
C.Because its influence becomes bigger and bigger
D.Because it is popular in online game circle.
2.What’s the similarity between “tuhhao” and “dama”?
A.Both take new meanings.
B.Both were created in British.
C.Both will be uploaded in the next dictionary version.
D.They have the same meaning.
3.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A, The popularity of the two words “tubao” and “dama”.
B. The possibility to be taken in Oxford English Dictionary for “tuhao” and “dama”.
C. The new meanings of the two words “tuhao” and “dama”
D. The influence of Chinese in modern world.
4. The passage most probably belongs to _____________.
A. a social survey B. an advertisement
C. a news report D. a publishing notice

Ban the Band?
Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful dresses, instead of the usual school _____.
Most of us think the dance is great fun---even the teachers enjoy being there. _____, two weeks ago someone said that there would be no live band this year---only CDs.
“I don’t believe it!” Amy cried out during the lunch break.
“Someone said the school couldn’t _____ a band, and they think it’s too noisy anyway,” added Daniel.
“Well, I don’t think it’s good enough _____ a band!” declared Angela, “and I’m going to see what can be done.”
Angela was as good as her word. In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster, who agreed to give the situation some more thought. And he suggested that one possibility for having a band was to increase the _____ of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to find out whether the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me,” she announced to our group before school the next day. “Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their opinions about the band and _____ cost.”
During the day we asked around _____ Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much support there was for the band and everyone agreed to _____ the extra $5.
“I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the result. “I really thought that only a few people wanted their band and that the cost would be too high. OK, Angela, your next ____ is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”
Angela was all smiles and _____ the news to Amy and Daniel. “You are amazing,” smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.

Last week the manager of an old jeweler’s shop received a letter marked “personal”, so of course his secretary gave it to him unopened. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. Then he opened it and a ￡10 note fell out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is what it said:
Dear Sir,
In 1935 I got engaged. But unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job. I was six months without a job and then I got work again. But of course was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring. The assistant brought some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girl-friend’s finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring.
My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience (良心) all these years. At the time the ring cost ￡2 so I reckon (估計) that is about ￡10 at today’s price. And I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer
“Well, well, well,” said the manager, “l(fā)ife is full of surprises!”
