America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while— then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand，because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes，share their holidays，and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

    Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

    For the Americans，it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants，except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?　　

A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

　　Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.

　　Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破坏）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.

　　Everyone should just relax, say linguists（语言学家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."

　　Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.

　　However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."

　　Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"

　1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

　　A. To give an example of a foreign language.

　　B. To show an example of creative methods.

　　C. To express worries about using Netspeak.

　　D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.

　2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.

　　B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.

　　C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.

　　D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.

　　3.The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.

　　A. be fairly sure          B. be greatly surprised

　　C. think it a pity          D. find it interesting

　　4. What can be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet

　　B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?

　　C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?

　　D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages

　　IQ(intelligence quotient智商)is a score that shows a person’s level of intelligence. People used to believe that some people are born with a high IQ and some aren’t.

　1 a study by scientist at University College London has challenged(挑战)this idea. According to an article last October on the Journal Nature, scientists are beginning to think that our IQ is not a constant(不变的)score.

　　The scientists tested 33 healthy young people in 2004 between the ages of 12 and 16. Then they did tests again four years later, when the same people were between 16 and 20.

　　Scientists found big changes in the IQ scores between 2008 and 2004. Some　2and some fell 3 as many as 21 points.

　　To test whether these scores were meaningful, the scientists compared them with results from brain scans(扫描). They found that the IQ changes matched changes in the structure(结构)of the subjects’ brains. “A change in 20 points is a huge 　4 ,” said Professor Cathy Price, who led the research. He said it could mean the difference between an average and a 　5 person. The team has not found a clear cause for these changes. However, they say it is 　6 that education plays a role in changing IQ. “Here we have shown that children’s 　7 is likely to be still developing, ” says Price. “We have to be careful not to write off 　8 performers at an early stage. In fact, their IQ may improve in a few more years. ”
