Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.

“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know he should say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.

1.What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?

A. He doesn’t think it means water closet.

B. He doesn’t think it old-fashioned English.

C. He doesn’t think it proper for a sign.

2.The underlined word “rarely” means___________.

A. sometimes　　 B. seldom　　 C. often

3.Charlie Shifflet _________　.

A. is a Chinese living in America

B. thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect English

C. likes to hear or see Chinglish

4.Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish?

5.The last paragraph is about__________.

A. why there are so many Chinglish signs

B. examples of Chinglish

C. where Chinglish signs are

I am 29 years old．Even today, that snake s4. sometimes visits me. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the w5. to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk．One summer, I got a job in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers（顾客）. I had to tell them how m6. their meal cost. I had to ask them if they want to drink Coke or Sprite．This job taught me h7. to speak with people．
You may be t8.young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people．You can offer to help an old woman c9. her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family．
If you do these things for a while, the ‘shyness’ snake will soon begin to l10. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into．
