Chatting online is now a national pastime in ...

Chatting online is now a national pastime in China, especially among the post-90s generation. To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. Yet hidden rules and standards do exist, as long as you take the time to look for them.

Get to the Point.

When sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifying information. Remember, everybody's time is precious. If there's something you want, cut right to the chase. Never send an "are you there?" without any follow-up messages. The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other person is to reply.

Send the Right Things.

Please send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now. Also, never send personal information by voice message — it is hard to note down. Emojis, GIFs and memes can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.

Try to Understand.

You can always judge a person's mood by their text messages. If the person you're talking to says "good night" or "I'm going to take a shower" that's probably not what they're actually going to do, it is just an excuse to stop talking to you. If someone hesitates for longer than three seconds before saying "yes", they probably really mean "no". If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally（字面意思） (as a smile, a wave or a laugh).

For the post-90s generation, however, they could be speechlessness.

1.What can you do if there’s something you want when you’re chatting online according to the passage?

A. Send an "are you there?" without any follow-up messages.

B. Send a friend request without any other identifying information.

C. Send it directly without any other useless messages.

D. Send your real name without any follow-up messages.

2.The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to"_________"．

A. personal information　　 B. voice message

C. Emojis　　 D. GIFs

3.Who will send you a wave to say Goodbye according to the passage?

A. the post-80s generation　　 B. the post-90s generation

C. the post-2000s generation　　 D. the post-2010s generation

4.What is the passage mainly about？

A. How to get to the point when you’re chatting online．

B. Different good ways of sending the right thing．

C. Hidden rules and standards in chatting online．

D. How to understand others through the messages．

5.What is the writer's opinion about chatting online？

A. Your text messages on the phone will show what you're feeling．

B. Using too many emojis while chatting will annoy others．

C. Voice messages make it easier for others to understand you．

九年级英语单选题简单题查看答案及解析

Online shopping is growing fast in China, and more and more Chinese are buying books online. At the same time, traditional bookstores are facing new challenges. A bookstore in Beijing is going out of business（生意）. All of its books are on sale. Bookstore owner Wang Jian says hot sales of books on the Internet pushed him to change the way he did business.

China has the highest online book buying rate（率）in the world. More than years ago, dangdang.com became the first online bookseller, and now becomes very important in the Chinese online book market.

Facing this challenge, the Xinhua Bookstore also built its online store a few years ago. Zhang Jian, CEO of the Xinhuabookstore.com, says now they are enlarging their online services.

A “price war（战争）”is taking shape between traditional bookstores and online bookstores. Faced with the low-cost advantage of online bookstores, traditional ones can do nothing but lower their prices. At the same time, online bookstores are also starting price wars between each other.

Now some traditional bookstores are trying their best to attract buyers in their own way. They exhibit books better and provide(提供) a very relaxed reading environment in the bookstore. Even though, traditional bookstores can hardly compete with some of the advantages of online bookstores, for example 24-hour service.

1.What is the passage about?

2.What made Wang Jian change the way he did business?

3.To attract buyers, traditional bookstores and online bookstores both choose to ________.

4.We can know from the passage that________.

China is a nation with a rich culture in handwriting. “Even though the computer is widely used today, Chinese people should not forget the skill of writing with hands,” said a Chinese government official（官员）.

Nowadays, the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. As people use computers more often than before, many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters （字）. People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.
