         Grammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or
    another, and it's most likely to strike during English or language arts classes. Even people who
    love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware
    of the possibility of turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing
    may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not!
         Grammarphobes, it's time to put your fears behind you.Grammar isn't that dreadful (可怕的).
    Here's why.
         Let's assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with friends. You
    probably also like emailing and instantmessaging.  Well, what do you think makes all these
    possible? Grammar!
         Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use
    words to express yourself, you're using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking.
         So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your
    words aren't right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the
    wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results.
         Grammar helps us understand each other.  It's like a manual (手册) for assembling the words
    in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense.
    They can't do what you want if they aren't put together correctly.
         What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what others'
    words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages.
         Communicating is similar to playing cards.  To make sense, we have to play the same game,
    by the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of
    them without having to open a book.
    1. Grammarphobes refer to people who ________. 
    A. consider grammar to be boring
    B. are worried about grammar homework
    C. mind grammar too much in writing
    D. are afraid of making grammar mistakes

    2. The underlined word "assembling"  in Paragraph 6 may    mean ________.

    A. directing                  
    B. remembering
    C. bringing together        
    D. looking for
    3. What does playing cards have in common with communicating? 
    A. Both need standards.
    B. Both can be interesting games.
    C. Both can be learned easily.
    D. Both can make sense for our life.
    4. What might be the main idea of the passage?  
    A. Forgetting grammar when writing.
    B. Grammar is not horrible.
    C. Improving grammar through writing.
    D. What is grammarphobia?

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    　　Every animals is a living radiator (散热器)--heat formed in its cells and given off through its skin. Warm blooded animals keep a normal temperature by continuously replacing lost surface heat: smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuels faster, scientists say they live faster. The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew-mouse used four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the shrew-mouse is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded animals, the humming-bird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant. There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighs only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not he able to eat fast enough to supply itself more fuel.

    1．The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it _____.

    [　　]

    A．produces heat in its body cells

    B．burns fuel to produce heat

    C．sends out heat through its skin

    D．takes in oxygen for burning fuel

    2．Small animals are said to live faster than big ones because they _____.

    [　　]

    A．have more skin for their weight

    B．replace lost heat faster

    C．burn fuel faster than big ones

    D．keep a higher body temperature

    3．The amount of oxygen an animal uses depends on _____.

    [　　]

    A．the heat the body produces

    B．the food it eats

    C．its size and shape

    D．the length of time it lives

    4．According to the passage, which of the following inferences is possibly right?

    [　　]

    A．There is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.

    B．The humming-bird lives faster than any other warm-blooded animals.

    C．Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.

    D．The humming-bird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.
