We have to accept(接受)the truth: sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.

For example, we all have days like this: our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned, or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn’t come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for him or her. We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom(智慧), we should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact, it’s good for our health.

“Chinese people have passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part of traditional medicine,” said Mrs Li, a 60-year-old woman from Hangzhou. “My parents taught me to do this. It’s a part of our folk(民间的)culture.”

Mrs. Li is a member of a group of people who love shouting. Each morning, she and some of her friends climb to the top of a hill and let out loud shouts before starting their daily exercise. They believe that shouting is good exercise for their lungs(肺)and it brings them a lot of fun.

“Sometimes I shout out and others shout back,” said Mrs Gu, another shouting lover. “It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable.”

Dr. Peter Smith, an American doctor, agrees that shouting can have a positive(积极的) influence on people’s health.

So, next time you start your morning run, why not try to shout out first? It will make you healthier.

A.纠正 B.铭记 C.忍受 D.杜绝

3.Where does Mrs. Li shout every day?

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.

The second shop, though a little more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. I realized that my approach must be wrong so I decided to try another way. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair? Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK. I’ll give you twenty pounds for it,” he said. “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I added. “Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing,” the shopkeeper replied.

Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell after the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” the man asked in surprise. “Yes, I know. But I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. He shouted, “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said, “And what would you have said if I had walked in and asked you to repair my chair?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it. We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll repair this for you. Five pounds will be the cost,” the man answered. He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, WE USED 2go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :-@ KIDS FTF. ILNY, its gr8.

Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the “translation” of the sentence above? 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 screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it’s great.

School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).

Everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”

Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply change to meet the new needs.

However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”

Perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, “I wouldn’t use text language in my homework. Text is just for fun.”

1. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To give an example of foreign paragraph.

B. To show an example of creative method.

C. To express worries about using Netspeak.

D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.

2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Cynthia McVry points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.

B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.

C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.

D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.

3.The expression “bet your bottom dollar” in paragrap5 means______________.

A. be fairly sure B. be greatly surprised

C. think it a pity D. find it interesting

4.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet

B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?

C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?

D. Netspeak Advantages and Disadvantages
