It’s not easy to be a scientist’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Mother’s Day writing competition for the whole school “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home, I started to think about what to write. “My mother is a scientist.” N0, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw her. How did I see my mother? Hmm, I saw her sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how she hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, she wasn’t just a world—famous scientist. She was my mom.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night. The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me. The second prize was announced. It was me!
I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My mother’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. Tears were running down my mother’s face. I saw my father blowing his nose. He cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder, “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my mother’s son.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子是否正确,对的涂(A),错的涂(B)。
1.Students were asked to write about their mothers at the writing competition.
2.The result was announced on Thursday night.
3.The writer wrote things on his mother’s work.

Since two years ago, Where Are We Going, Dad? ( 《爸爸去哪儿?》) has become one of the most popular TV shows. On the shows, the five fathers and their children traveled around China, riding camels through the western deserts, fishing on the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare(费用) home in southwestern Yunnan Province.
One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, so some people try to help him. Another one must survive with his son for three days in the desert. Because the father can’t cook, they only eat instant noodles(方便面).
Why is Where Are We Going, Dad? so popular? Because it is about how Chinese parents look after their kids. The show makes modern parents think about what they should do with their kids. “In traditional Chinese culture, the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentler(温和的) on their kids and more involved(参与) in their upbringing(培养)” said Li Minyi, a professor of early childhood education.
In the past, children were taught to obey their parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But today Chinese parents increasingly realize that respecting their children’s choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society. As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time.

Online, English has become a common language for users from all over the world. In the process, the language itself is changing.
There are now about 4,500 million web pages around the world. Some people say that within 10 years people will use English widely on the Internet, but in forms it is very different from what we accept and know as English today. Why?
That’s because more people now speak English as a second language. And they use it to communicate with other non-native speakers, especially on the Internet where they pay little attention to grammar and spelling.
Internet users already create a number of different “Englishes” like Hinglish(Indian English), Spanglish(Spanish English) and Konlish(Korean English). Though these different forms have been there within different cultures, they are now going far and wide online.
Some words are taken from traditional English. “Blur”(= “not clear” or “slow”), for example, is often used in Singlish(singaporean English). Some English words are put together to make something new. In Chinglish(Chinese English), “Long time no use” means “have not seen you for a long time”.
“In fact, most people speak different languages—it’s less common to speak only one,” says Mr. Smith. Enlish has become the world’s language, but it’s not pushing out other languages. Instead, other languages are pushing theirs into languages. Instead, in the process, creating something new.
