Long Time No See！

　　“Long time no see”is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed．I thought it was a perfect of Chinglish．

　　Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure!Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google, com．To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing“Long time no see”．This sentence has been widely used in e-mails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place．Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．

　　Nobody knows the origin of the Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world-wide famous Chinese detective(侦探)named“Charlie Chan”on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting(引用)Confucius(孔夫子)．“Long time no see”was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan,“Long time no see”became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．

　　Some scholars refer America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they．change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员)group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew!Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．

　　You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and deja vu from French etc．There is a long list!Americans do not just simply borrow something from others, They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American and keeps adding richness and flavor．

(1)

[　　]
A．	reading“Long time no see”
B．	knowing the expression is standard American English

According to the passage, it can be inferred that ________．
[　　]
A．	Charlie Chun made the phrase“long time no see”
B．	Hollywood made“Long time no see”popular
C．	the huge pot of stew changes all kinds of culture
D．	all kinds of culture can be changed in the．huge pot of stew

(4)

The main idea of the last paragraph is that
[　　]
A．	some other examples are introduced into English
B．	you will be surprised to find a tofu in a restaurant in America
C．	there used to be iced Chinese green tea with honey in grocery store

Which of the following statements is not true?
[　　]

　　“If there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．”It is not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation．

　　The nature of what is news may change．What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though．It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因的)engineering．In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are．

　　It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home．In fact, I'm pretty sure that it will happen in the future．You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read-sport and international news．etc．

　　I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other．Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air．And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen．

　　If there is one thing I’m quite sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．Not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of the news from the television or the radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation．

　　The basic British character won’t change, and one of the characteristics of the British is that we don’t much like talking to each other when we get up．So what any better way is there to keep yourself thinking in the morning than to wrap yourself in a newspaper?

　　Over the past couple of centuries, human beings have developed a close relationship with the newspaper．It has become as natural as breathing or enjoying the sun．And it is not just the British who love newspapers．On suburban trains in Calcutta, for instance, just one person in the whole train will buy a newspaper and read aloud the best bits to his fellow passengers, much to everybody’s enjoyment．

　　The nature of what is news may change．What essentially(本质上)makes news is what affects our lives and the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though．It’s happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering(基因工程)．In the future I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do－whether its love or depressions; we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are．

　　It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from the national equivalents of Fleet Street(伦敦的舰队街, 以报馆集中而著称)and printed out in our own homes．In fact, I’m pretty sure that that is how it will happen in future．You’ll be probably select from a menu, making up your own bespoke newspaper by picking out the things you want to read and say．You might even have an intelligent screening device to do the job for you．

　　I think people have got it wrong when they talk about the competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually have a relationship, feeding off each other．It was once predicted that television would kill off newspapers, which hasn’t happened．What is read on the printed page is more enduring than pictures on a flickering screen or sound lost in the sky．And as for the internet, it’s never really satisfying to read something just on a screen．
