Years ago, when Barbara started looking for her first job, wise advisers urged, "Be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were.

"Nothing great was ever   37   without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.     38   is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the   39   voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't!"

And what is God within is but a long-lasting sense of   44   -- proper love of self and, from that, love of others.

      Enthusiastic people also love what they do,   45   money or title or power. Patricia McIlrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm.

Many people think the search for cleaner energy leads only to renewable resources like sun, wind and water. But it also leads to a fossil fuel. Natural gas is considered the cleanest of the fossil fuels, the fuel created by plant and animal remains over millions of years. Burning it releases fewer pollutants than oil or coal. The gas is mainly methane (甲烷). It produces half the carbon dioxide of other fossil fuels. So it may help cut the production of carbon gases linked to climate change.

Russia is first in what are called "proved reserves" of natural gas. The United States is sixth. Over the years, big oil and gas companies recovered much of the easily reached supplies of gas in America. They drilled straight down into formations where gas collects. As these supplies were used up, big drillers looked for similar formations in other countries.

But now the industry is taking a new look. Companies are developing gas supplies trapped in shale (页岩) rock two to three thousand meters underground. They drill down to the shale, then go sideways and inject high-pressure water, sand or other material into the rock. This causes the rock to fracture, releasing the gas. Huge fields of gas shale are believed to lie under the Appalachian Mountains, Michigan and the south-central states. Gas shale exploration is being done mainly by small to medium sized companies. Eric Potter, a program director, says more than half the gas in the United States is now coming from these new reserves.

But hydraulic (液压的) fracturing can also produce debate and anger over the risk of groundwater pollution. This method of drilling is not federally supervised under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Some in Congress want to end that exemption (豁免) from the law.

Natural gas provides Americans with about one fourth of their energy. And, unlike oil, most of it is produced in America. Gas producers invested heavily in reaching new supplies when prices were high. But prices are down sharply now because the depression cut demand for energy. So energy expert Eric Potter says it is too early to know how the changing market prices will affect the market for gas shale exploration. _O%M

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what "PK" meant.

   "My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.

   To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

   In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.

   Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand.

   "My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition.

   "GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.

   Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.

   If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!

By writing the article, the writer tries to  ________ .

A. explain some Internet language    B. suggest common Internet language

C. laugh at the Beijing father           D. draw our attention to Internet language

What does the writer think about the term "PK"?

A. Fathers can't possibly know it.       B. The daughter should understand it.

C. Online game players may know it.     D. "Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.

The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons ________ .

A. are used not only online            B. can be understood very well

C. are welcomed by all the people      D. cause trouble to our mother tongue

What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. A puzzled father                       B. Do you speak Internet-ish?

C. Keep away from Internet-ish        D. Kong Long or Qing Wa?
