We all have our own ways of sharing our life experiences with others.
Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories.
Spencer Johnson’s story Who Moved My Cheese? Shows changes exist in (存在于) our life. Life changes and so we do. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail.
Just look at the cycle (循环) of the seasons. Trees bud (发芽) in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn, their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter arrives, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. Since we know there are cycles in nature, we can prepare for them. We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly.
Since we accept the cycles of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life.

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(缩写). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
Info(information) puter (computer) Pie(picture) sec (second)
We usually don’t see people when we communicate 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(论坛) have picture feelings. For example,
(sad) (happy)
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 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 Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
1.What does the underlined word “acronyms” mean?
A. 网友 B. 聊天室 C. 首字母缩写词 D.关键词
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.
D. To make people use Internet
3.What does “ BTW, my puter 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.
D. The person is joking that his computer is having problems.
4. E-talk will probably _______.
A. keep changing
B. be easy by people on the telephone
C. be used by people on the telephone
D. make life easier
5. What’s the best title for this passage?
