Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as “geilivable” might find a new regulation very “ungeilivable”. The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language.
“Geilivable”, combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the English suffix (后缀) for adjectives, literally means “giving power” or “cool”. Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. “Hengeilivable” means “very cool”, and “ungeilivable” means “dull, not cool at all”.
Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. One example is “antizen”, which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants.
David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it’s very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. “English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” Tool said.
At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern.
“The administration is totally ‘ungeilivable’,” said a netizen named laoda1713. “I know other netizens will shed tears with me... it is a good chance to enrich our language”.
“Language is always developing,” said a columnist, Wang Pei. “It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom.”
But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.
The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed at .
A. simplifying the Chinese language B. limiting the development of language
C. banning the use of Chinglish D. making the netizens more serious
The underlined word meager in the third paragraph probably means .
A. poor B. flexible C. high D. plentiful
From this passage we can infer that .
A. the Chinese people like their own language only
B. the English words are considered informal in China
C. nobody in China will support the new regulation
D. “geilivable” will be popular among Chinese netizens
On which column of China Daily can you find this passage?
A. Entertainment B. Business C. Travel D. Opinion

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of
tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.
At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet drink to last an entire evening.
Tours abroad are difficult because hosts seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.
During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.
Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host, King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.
Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.
The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ____.
A. to show her politeness B. to show her great interest in food
C. not to eat much D. to hide her dislike to the food
We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ____.
A. she has to meet with so many important leaders
B. she has to eat much oily food
C. hosts always present wonderful state banquets
D. she has so many reporters to travel with her
What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinners?
A. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.
B. Drinking Malvern water.
C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.
D. Eating much without being noticed
The main idea of the passage is about ____.
A. the Queen’s favorite food B. the Queen’s tours abroad
C. the Queen’s trouble with a foreign leader D. how the Queen keeps her diet during her tours

I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering in the real world. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for “real world” jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. At that early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. My desire to live abroad was so strong that I was willing to do anything anywhere.
Soon I learned about BUNAC, a program that seemed to be designed precisely for student with such interests. BUNAC offers work visas ( 签证 ) for students or recent graduates to work overseas. Of the six countries available, I chose England because of the language and opportunities for employment.
Two months after I graduated from college I went to Britain. I traveled throughout Europe for six weeks before arriving in London. I got to London on August 24, 1997 with a work visa, but no job or place to live. I have to admit it was pretty scary! The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday --- a Bank Holiday, a national holiday that everything is closed for the day. It wasn’t until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and I learned all about living and working in Britain, paying taxes, getting health insurance, traveling around Britain, finding accommodations and most importantly, finding a job. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and I needed to get my pay soon.
It turned out that finding a job was not so difficult. The BUNAC program is very well known in London and many employers participate in the program. As a result there are many employers in many different fields to choose from. My job search began when I chose three different business employers and faxed them my resume (简历). That first week I had three interviews. I accepted my first offer working for Merrill Lynch International Bank. The Merrill Lynch office I worked at was in a beautiful, old building located two blocks from Buckingham Palace. The people were nice and the work interesting.
It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after six months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended.
When the author studied at college she decided _________.
A. to enter the “real world” after graduation
B. to go and work in a foreign country
C. to settle in a different country
D. to find a job in the home country
The author chose England because ______.
A. it is a beautiful country and people there are nice
B. England is spoken there and it is easy to find a job
C. it is in Europe, not far from her own country
D. the BUNAC office is located there
After the author arrived in London, what worried her most was ________.
A. getting a job B. buying health insurance
C. traveling around Britain D. finding a place to live
Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Trip to Britain B. What I Want to Be
C. Living in a Different Country D. My Work Experience
