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 savetime, they turn phrases (短语) into a few letters called acronyms(首字母缩略词). 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. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:info (information) puter (computer) pic (picture) sec (second) We usually don‟t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw “feeling”, such as:: ) (happy) :-( (sad) ; : P (joking) : O (surprised)These days, many forums have picture feelings. For example:happy sad angry coolThere are even whole new words, like …newbie‟ (someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it‟s called …flaming‟ the person.It takes time to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups in 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.66. Why do people type acronyms?A. To show their feelings.B. To make jokes.C. Because people can type them quickly.D. In this way, newbies won‟t understand them.67. What does “My puter is not working well. :-( ” mean?A. The person is happy about getting a new computer.B. The person has to go away from their computer.C. The person is angry at somebody.D. The person is sad that his computer is having problems.68. If someone is angry, what may he type?A. B. C. LOL D. BRB69. E-talk will probably_________.A. keep changingB. stay the sameC. be used by people on the telephoneD. be easy for newbies to understand70.

But I didn't want to play it. I just wanted to play games, But Dad asked me to take accordion lessons.One day, I found a box in a corner. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful violin. "It was your father's," Mum said. "His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to learn toplay it."I had to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. But Dad didn't allow. I asked why. He answered, "Because you can bring people joy. Y ou can touch their hearts." He added softly, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had: you'll play beautiful music for your family. And you'll understand why you've worked so hard." I was speechless.The lessons stopped after I finished high school. When I grew up, I got married and moved into a new house. I put the accordion in the attic（阁楼）.One afternoon, my two children found the accordion by accident (偶然). They got very excited. "Play it. Play it," they laughed and said. I started to play some simple songs. I was surprised I could still remember them. Soon the kids were dancing. Even my wife was laughing and clapping to the beat.At that moment, my father's words came back to me, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had. And you'll understand."

They often did some research（研究）on wild plants in the forest. They had a clever girl and they loved each other.One day, they went to the forest as usual. But when they climbed up the hill, they were afraid.A lion was watching th em. They didn‟t bring a gun（枪）with them. It was impossible to run away. Their faces got pale and they stood there without moving. The lion stood there, too. （2）After a few minutes it came up to them slowly, and then it ran faster and faster. It came in front of his wife. Just at that time, the man shouted in a loud voice and began to run away. The lion turned around and began to run after the man. Lions prefer to attack（攻击）the running person.

All the students gave one of these two answers. One was, “Honey, sorry.” And the other was “Hurry, run”. But the girl said we were all wrong. The man shouted to his wife loudly, “Take care of Lily.
