    When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure (粪肥), to be specific.
    Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That’s really a big amount.
    When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
    Here’s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. “The cows aren’t bothered,” says Marie Audet. “They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.”
    The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
    Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That’s an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机).
    At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.
    【小题1】We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.
    A．make electricity B．produce fertilizerC．build their farm D．feed the cows
    【小题2】How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?
    A．Marie Audet does the workB．The job is done by machine
    C．The cows lift the cow wastesD．Bacteria get to work on them
    【小题3】 According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?
    A．The power of moving water. B．The heat of burning coal.
    C．The power of sunlight.D．The heat of the methane gas
    【小题4】The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best described as ______.
    A．reducingB．savingC．recyclingD．changing
    【小题5】 What is the main purpose for writing the passage?
    A．To introduce a new way of making electricityB．To explain how a new energy works better
    C．To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farmD．To explain the reasons for green house effect

    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. Some of them are.
    BTW （by the way）   BRB (be right back)
    LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
    People also use many abbreviations (缩写), They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
    Info (information)  puter (computer)
    Pie (picture)       sec (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 keywords to draw “feeling”. such as:
    :-)( happy)    :-p(joking)   :-( (sad)  :-0(surprised)
    These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example，

    There are even whole new words, like” newbie’s”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum).
    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. Newbie’s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internets grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
    【小题1】What does the underline “acronyms” mean?
    A.网友        B.聊天室      C.首字母缩写词
    【小题2】Why do people type acronyms?
    A. to show their feelings.
    B. Because people can type them quickly.
    C. In this way newbie’s won’t understand them.
    【小题3】What does” BTW, my puter is not working well.:-(“mean?
    A. The person is angry at somebody.
    B. The person is happy about getting a new computer.
    C. The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
    【小题4】E-talk wills probably          .
    A. keep changing.
    B. be easy by people on the telephone
