Dear editor,

You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song or look at various advertisements (广告). Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can especially be seen in the following places:

(1) Chinese characters written in the complex (复杂的) form. Although simplified(简化的) Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.

(2) Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.

(3) Words or expressions being used have a bad meaning. “Ba” (霸),which means bully in Chinese, is one example.Now there are lots of goods,restaurants,even factories or firms, with “ba” in their names.

(4) Too many incorrect grammatical expressions, some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structure(构造). “Ai ni mei shang liang”, which means love you without consulting, is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.

Some language experts point out that language pollution must bedone away with, which is an idea shared by myself and many others. Fan Yongquan, Shanxi

Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia, some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud burp after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a big burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please”.

In many places people like to eat together. But in some part of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.

What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finished what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.

Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier(障碍), communication is completed through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and the local people unable to make themselves understood by each other through speaking or writing have had to turn to this form of expressing. Many of these symbols of the whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot compare with them.

Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink (眨眼) can be a way of showing that the party is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.

Other forms of nonlinguistic (非语言的) language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code (莫尔斯电码) and smoking signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people.

All in all, while words are the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also play the role of expressing human thoughts and feelings.

A. people have no way to communicate

B. people can use other forms of communication

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have locked for adventure—those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who try to find an immediate thrill(毛骨悚然) from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place(perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs(峭壁).

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists(心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring(令人厌烦). Life, according to many people,offers little excitement. They live and work safely and comfortably. The answer for some of these people is to try to find danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

13. Which of the following is the best title for this test? ____.

A. Bungee Jumping: a Dangerous Sport

B. Bungee Jumping: an Exciting Sport

C. Dangerous Sports: What and How?

D. Dangerous Sports: What and Why?

14. More and more people today are ____.

A. trying activities such as bungee jumping

B. climbing the highest mountains

C. coming close to death in sports

D. looking for adventure such as traveling into unknown places

15. People take part in dangerous sports mainly because ____.

A. they want to have a change in sports

B. there is not much work for them to do

C. there is not much excitement in their lives

D. they are curious about such sports

(E)

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used toexpress feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “Its cool.” You may think, “Hes so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer. We all maximize(扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one students paper was just the one sentence, “Its so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
