The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girt who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages（also called SMS）through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called "texting".

A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small key pad of a cell phone is difficult, so it's common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like "r" for "are", "u" for "you", and "2" for "two". Several letters can also represent a phrase, like "lol" for "laughing out loud". Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling "please" as "pls".

Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing in that way was more comfortable for her.（The essay said, "My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face."）

Not everyone agreed that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.

1.What is the writer's opinion of text messaging?

A.The writer does not give his opinions. B.It is not bad for children.

C.It will make children bad writers. D.It is fun and easy to do.

2.Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?

A.Using letters to represent words. B.Using phrases to represent essays.

C.Using letters to represent phrases. D.Using numbers to represent words.

3.Why do some people think that texting is bad?

A.It costs too much. B.It's too difficult to type.

C.Teenagers won't learn to write correctly. D.It's not comfortable.

4.Why aren't some people worried about the effect of texting?

A.Not many people use texting. B.Spelling in English is too difficult.

C.Teenagers quickly become bored with texting. D.Texting will disappear because of new technology.

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Texting. B.A text message.

C.A bad thing. D.The text messaging service.

6.Not everyone agree that texting is a ________.

A.bad thing B.good thing C.badly thing D.worst thing

When the plane arrived on Prince Edward Island in Canada, the snow was thick on the ground as they’d had about 100cm in 24 hours. That amount of snow was unusual for the island but I didn’t know that so I wasn’t worried. It didn’t look much thicker than snow I’d seen in Scotland. I was going to visit my friend, Chris, and he’d warned me it would be very cold and snowy. In fact I was feeling too warm as I had too many clothes on.

Chris met me in his car and we were quite near his house, which was only five kilometers from the airport, when we got stuck in the snow. So we phoned the road rescue services and a man and a truck arrived. He said we were the fifth car he’d pulled out of the snow that evening. He started the engine and he’d almost pulled us out ... Only to find that the truck had brought a whole pile of snow down from the sides of the road onto both vehicles and the truck was stuck too. He phoned to get an even larger truck to come and rescue us all. In the end it did!

Chris turned off the engine and we sat in the car to wait for the second truck to pull us out. I suggested he might keep the engine running so we could stay warm. He pointed out that the gas gauge was showing nearly empty and he was worried that we still had to get to his house. We finally arrived at his house at 4.30 in the morning -five hours after leaving the airport.

1.When she got off the plane, the writer ______.

A. was afraid about the journey she had to make

B. was excited at seeing so much snow

C. realized the weather was colder than she expected

D. thought the snow wasn’t a problem for her

2.Why didn't the first truck get them out of the snow?

A. Its engine wasn’t strong enough. B. The driver was not experienced enough.

C. It knocked more snow on top of the car. D. It couldn’t get close enough to the car.

3.What does the underlined part ‘it did’ refer to?

A. A larger truck came to help us. B. The truck pulled our car out.

C. Someone answered the phone. D. The first truck got stuck.

4.What was Chris worried about while they were waiting?

A. The truck might not be able to find them. B. It was midnight and they might get too cold.

C. The car engine might not start again. D. They might not have enough gas to get home.

5.Why do you think the author wrote this piece?

A. To give advice about driving in the snow. B. To describe an event that happened to her.

C. To give thanks to Chris and truck drivers. D. To suggest a visit to Prince Edward Island.

6.Which of these postcards would the writer send the next day?

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?

Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 players, you shouldn’t turn it up too high.

Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.

Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.

It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

1.The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph Two probably means “_______”

A. the type of music                   B. the amount of a sound

C. the length of a song                D. the color of an MP3 player

2.No one wants to listen to _____________ from others’ MP3 players.

A. a loud sound     B. sad stories     C. a long movie      D. the words of a song

3.We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music ________.

A. is not enjoyable        B. makes us tired

C. is bad for MP3 players  D. hurts our ears

4.If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, ______________________.

A. the theatre won’t allow it

B. the actors will get angry

C. others won’t hear the play well

D. we will miss part of the play

5.We can take one earphone out when we _______________________.

A. show others the way

B. talk to friends on the phone

C. watch a sporting event

D. have dinner with our parents

6.It’s all right to use our MP3 player in _________________.

A. school          B. libraries      C. restaurants     D. museums

Suppose you are 17 and live alone with no money. Years ago, that was my dad. His father died when he was 10, and as the oldest of five, he had to take care of his brothers and sisters. When his mother remarried, my dad had to leave home. With few choices, he joined the army, and worked as hard as he could for a job, a nice house, and a family. Having a dad like him has made me different from other people; with his help and advice, I set and meet my goals.

When I wanted to play basketball, my dad said, “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do.” People thought I was too small to play, but he let me know I could. Looking back now, I know why my dad said this to me: it was something his father and mother never told him.

Time flew by. It was time for me to look for a job. A department store offered me a job as cart assistant. For the whole day, I pushed shopping carts. It was so cold that I couldn’t move my hands. But my dad wouldn’t let me give up, even though I wanted to. He kept saying it would get better, and he was right. I’ve worked there for a year now and I do much more than just push carts.

My dad helped me grow into the person I’m becoming. When I was younger, I was small. The other boys called me “Lil Nicky”. I hated it. I went to my dad for a help. He encouraged me and helped me make an exercise plan and I got to work.

In my life, there are different roads. My dad helped me get on the one I continue on today. I know I am just at the beginning. There will be difficulties. But there will always be my dad. Even when he is not physically here for me, his words won’t leave my mind.

1.At the age of ________, my father had to care for his brothers and sisters.

A.5　　 　　　　　 B.10　　 　　 C.15　　 　　 D.17

Dear Mariana,

Today we arrived safe. It was a long and dangerous trip over the ocean. The winter storms were strong. We were always a little sick from high waves.

Mexico City

Dear Mariana,

Father and I finally arrived at Mexico City. Here, old buildings are being pulled down; new ones are being built. Just around the corner from Uncle’s city house, Aztec workers are pulling down a small, beautiful pyramid. Father says it is one of the last Aztec temples.

There he got his new name, Carlos. He says he likes his new school but misses his old city. I wonder what this city used to be like before Cortes came.

Tomorrow we will go to Uncle’s farmland. He and father are talking about the Aztec workers that father will oversee.

Liu Yaxuan is totally a homebody. Every weekend, this14-year-old student from Tsinghua High School watches popular TV dramas like The Journey of Flower(《花千骨》) and plays with her mobile phone. She hates playing outdoor sports. "It's too tiring," she said.

She is not alone. In recent years, more and more Chinese teenagers are becoming homebodies. A 2013 survey of kids aged 2 to 14 showed about half of them spend less than one hour doing outdoor activities every day.

To some extent, heavy academic pressure (学业压力) caused this phenomenon(现象). Hu Huilan, 12, from Shenzhen Nanshan Language School, is busy with piles of homework and extra classes on weekends. "I don't want to get behind," she said.

Even if this isn't a problem, kids still prefer indoor life. Wang Yidi, 12, from Anhui No. 50 Middle School, often reads Harry Potter: listens to music and-surfs the Internet at home. "I can do so many things I like at home rather than hang out in smoggy(雾霾的) weather," she said.

But this causes bad health conditions. Chinese teenagers' physical conditions have been declining (下降) for more than 25 years, reported People's Daily last year.　　　　　　

The situation for foreign students is quite different. Zhang Yingke, 15, from Unionville High School in Toronto, Canada, says her peers are not homebodies at all. "They spend their free time outdoors even if it just means going to the park or reading a book under the tree. Nice weather, little homework and rich outdoor activities enable us to do that," she said. After being there for four years, she has fallen in love with running and playing tennis. "It helps me stay energetic,” she said.

1.Homebodies are persons who ______.

A. always stay home at weekends

B. don't need to go to work on weekdays

C. stay at home and never go out

D. do jobs like cleaning houses or cooking meals

2.Wang Yidi's indoor life is rich when she is at home ______ is NOT mentioned below.

A. Reading books　　 B. Surfing the Internet

C. Doing piles of homework　　 D. Listening to music

3.According to People's Daily, Chinese teenager's physical conditions have been declining ______.

A. from last year　　 B. recently

C. since.1989　　 D. since 2013

4.The teenagers tell us some reasons why they like to be homebodies. ______ is NOT TRUE according to the passage.

A. Doing outdoor activities is too tiring

B. They haven't rich outdoor activities

C. Hanging out in smoggy weather is bad for their health

D. The schoolwork is heavy and they are busy with their studies

5.______ is/are Zhang Yingke's favourite outdoor activity/activities.

A. Running and playing tennis　　 B. Reading under the tree

C. Swimming in the river　　　　　 .　　 D. Going to the Park

6.The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the ways to change this phenomenon

B. the lifestyles of the different countries

C. the activities Chinese teenagers do at home

D. the reasons of becoming homebody and problems it caused
