根据短文内容回答下列问题

English is an important international language, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn — but they weren’t always successful.

In 1930, Professor C.K. Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn’t understand the answers in ‘real’ English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn’t in the Basic English word list.

R.E. Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language with the name Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. ‘Father’ became ‘faadher’, ‘new’ became ‘nue’ and ‘years’ became ‘yeerz’. Unluckily, Anglic never became popular.

In the age of international communication through the Internet, who knows what will happen? ... a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world’s e-mails are in English and include (包括) examples of ‘NetLingo’ like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later). In another fifty years, English might not be used. We might all speak fluent Internetish!

Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change the world or, at least, make life

easier for somebody? P  1   we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a real thing. Recently, there was a competition in a country, which encouraged young people to make their bright ideas come true. There were t  2   groups in the contest: Group A was for school children under 16; Group B was for those o  3   16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.

Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was c  4    “Sunshine Superman” by one newspaper writing about his design. When people study the weather, it’s important to be able to record the sunshine accurately. We need to know how many h  5    of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders o  6   record direct (直接的) sunshine. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power. Neil plans to keep inventing.

The ideas in the competition were so g  7   that we are surprised that the industry (工业界) doesn’t ask more school children for suggestions.
