Dear editor,
You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places:
.1. Chinese characters are written in the complex (复杂的 ) form. Although simplified（简化的） Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.
.2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.
.3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. "Ba"(霸), which means bully in Chinese, is one example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with "Ba" in their names.
.4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures. "Ai ni mei shang liang', which means "I love you without consulting", is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.
Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with, which is an idea shared by myself and many others.

By age 25 John D. Rockefeller controlled one of the largest oil companies in America. By age 31 he had become the world’s largest oil producer. By age 38 he commanded 90% of the oil produced in the U.S. By the time of his retirement at age 58, he was the richest man in the country. By the time he died, he had become the richest man in the world.
But there was little in Rockefeller’s upbringing that would signal his great success. He was born in a run-down house in New York in 1839. His mother was a solid, religious woman, but his father, William Avery Rockefeller, was little more than a dishonest salesman, unable to provide for his family.
Young John grew up helping work the family farm. But he had his eyes set on greater things, and earnestly desired to rise in the world.
He had a talent for numbers, and he dropped out of high school to become better acquainted with their management. Enrolling in a 3-month business course at a commercial college, he learned the basics of book-keeping and banking.
After graduating at the age of 16, Rockefeller left his rural home to look for a job in Cleveland. As Rockefeller remembered, the job market was tight, and the response was not encouraging: “No one wanted a boy, and very few showed any interest in me.” Yet young John was not at all discouraged.
From morning until later afternoon, six days a week, for six weeks — sweating through Cleveland’s hot summer, walking its streets until his feet ached — Rockefeller continued to seek a job. He attacked this goal with patient persistence. Finally, on September 26, 1855, he heard the words he’d been waiting for: “We’ll give you a chance.” Ever after, Rockefeller referred to this date as “Job Day” and celebrated its anniversary with more passion than his own birthday, for this was the great turning point in his life. Through singular focus on a goal, and patient persistence, he had obtained a toehold in the world of business.
1.What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To explain why Rockefeller was so successful.
B. To attract the readers with facts about Rockefeller.
C. To entertain the readers with some stories of Rockefeller.
D. To inform the readers of the road for Rockefeller’s success.
2.Which of the following mainly contributed to Rockefeller’s success?
A. Family upbringing. B. His talent for numbers.
C. His persistence and determination. D. Training at a commercial college.
3.What happened to Rockefeller before he got his first job?
A. He had an eye problem.
B. He was turned down for many times.
C. He dropped out of his commercial college.
D. He was forced to go home by the tight market.
4.Why did he choose to celebrate the “Job Day”?
A. It changed his whole life. B. It was close to his birthday.
C. It was the hardest day in his life. D. It was the day he got his first job.

Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
1.In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 2.. Eyes do speak, right？
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.3.. If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.
However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking.4.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 5.
Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.
A. On the contrary, it will give him away.
B. Do you have such a kind of experience?
C. That’s what normal eye contact is all about.

ted to lovers only.
E. After all, everybody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.
F. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.

My writing career began ten years ago with my articles published locally and nationally. As a beginning writer, I was happy to be on my way, writing and learning as much as I could . With two little kids underfoot, as well as working full-time, it was really difficult to make time for writing, but I managed.
Readers told me they laughed, cried or were inspired by my articles. But they didn't know what was really going on behind the typewriter. I was not a happy mommy, and found it difficult to enjoy the everyday little things in life. In short, I was not a happy person.
I realized I had to make some changes. I started walking every morning. It cleared my head, allowed me time to think, gave me fresh air, and made me feel invigorated (精神焕发） and healthy. I was eating wisely, and the weight started to go. I started a new job, joined a monthly writing chapter，and was determined to keep up my walking. Finding the balance was sometimes difficult. But I was determined to fit in writing time because it made me happy. Sure I loved to watch the news and have my tea, but that wasn't what made me truly happy.
My own happiness has shown through my family, my job performance and my attitude towards challenging situations. I again have readers telling me the effect my writing has had on them, with some able to get on with their own writing because of my articles.
It was up to me to make it happen—my own happiness. One step at a time-one word at a time. And I did it.
1.What was a big challenge to the author according to the first paragraph?
A. Writing good articles. B. Doing well at work.
C. Finding time to write. D. Taking good care of children.
2.Why did the author start walking every morning?
A. To be physically healthy.
B. To enjoy fresh early morning air.
C. To have more energy for writing.

A. Her articles had a great effect on readers.
B. She didn't enjoy making changes in her life.
C. She wasn't interested in watching TV news.
D. She couldn't find the balance between work and life.
4.What do you think is the main idea of the story?
