  We use the Internet for many things:business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people,

  finding information and so on.In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet.There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk.

  People don't like typing too much.To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters(called acronyms).Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室).Some of them are:

  BTE(by the way)      BRB(be right back)

  LOL(laughing out loud)   IMO(in my opinion)

  People also use many abbreviations.They are shortened forms of words.Some common abbreviations are:

  info(information)      puter(computer)

  pic(picture)        see(second)

  We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流)on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings.Most people use their keyboards to draw“feelings”such as:

  :-)(happy)  ;-)(joking)  :-((sad)  :-O(surprised)

  These days, many forums(论坛)have picture feelings.For example:

  (happy)  (sad)  (angry)  (cool)

  There are even whole new words, like“newbies”(someone who is new on a chat board or fo-rum).When you write something bad about someone else, it's called“flaming”the person.

  It takes time for people to get used to(适应)e-talk.Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating.Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean.As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.

1.Why do people type acronyms?

________________________

2.What does“BTW, my puter is not working well.”mean?

________________________

3.How do most people show their feelings when they communicate on the Net?

________________________

4.What does the new word“newbies”stand for?

________________________

5.What is the best title for this passage?

________________________

My work keeps me in Hong Kong most of the year,but I try to get away for a month in summer,usually in July.Now as you probably know,that’s the main 1 season in Europe.The favorite places for vacations and the famous cities are usually very 2 . But I’m not seeking(寻求) the sun—I can get lots of  3 in Hong Kong—and I’m certainly not seeking the crowds!So 4 I go on vacation,I buy a Train Pass(a kind of train ticket) that allows me first-class travel on most of the railways of Western Europe.First-class compartments(车厢) are 5 crowded and they are very comfortable.If you’re going on 6 trip, you can take a sleeping train for an extra charge.There are usually dining cars(餐车) in the train.
I find that train travel is restful and 7 .There’s always 8 to see.I particularly(特别地) enjoy 9 through Switzerland and Italy.You can get a very good 10 of what a country is like from a train because you don’t go too fast and you stop quite often.Also train travel is very safe,and I am never sick on a train 11 I am on a ship. Then there are always people to 12 to if you feel like a chat.
The reason that I seldom(很少) travel by plane is quite 13 : because train stations are usually built in the centre.I don’t have to 14 transport(运输工具), transport can be a problem when arriving by 15

完形填空。

  I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago.I'm the mid-field player in my team.But in fact that's not   1   now.I was the mid-field player because,as I said,this was my   2   game.That's a good way to end a high school football career(生涯),especially if you win,but even though you don't,it's   3   to leave at a high point.

  I was eight when I first started playing football.My dad   4   football,and he used to practise with me at home-passing,catching and running.We used to practise almost every evening   5   it got too dark.He tried to teach me everything he knew about the   6  .“Just remember:don't ever   7  .”

  “Stay in the game.Don't lose your concentration(专注).”

  “Go out there and give 110 percent(百分之……)every time.”Well,that was a long time ago,but I still hear his words   8   in my ears.

  I had a lot on my mind   9   the game today.I don't like things to end,I guess,and this was the last game.I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do.I didn't sleep at all   10  ,and when the sun came up this morning,I reached the point where   11   just wanted it all to be over,finished,done.But then when the game started,my mind became   12  .I just lived in this game,this moment.I didn't hear the crowd;I didn't feel the cold or the pain;I never felt tired.I just kept my eyes on the   13  ,and it was just me and the ball and,inside,a soft,white light   14   me the way to the goal.It was a beautiful,empty feeling.

  It's all over now,and it's really getting cold here.It's starting to snow.The sun's almost gone,and I can   15   see the goal.Now it's dark and I'm sitting here all alone.Well,I guess it's time to say good-bye and move on.

  Four girls went to school together every day by taxi.
