    If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.?

    And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don't understand you.

    Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.?

    It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.?

    And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).  Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.?

    If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(=on the floor),or LOL(=laughing out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).?

    And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL(talk to you later).?

    People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation is going, too.?

    In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet_______.

    A. you have to speak fast and fluently?

    B. you have to express your ideas in a brief way?

    C. you should speak with wit and humor　?

    D. one should pay much attention to the accuracy of the words?

    If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means_______.?

    A. the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine?

    B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York?

    C. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York?

    D. the person who are talking to you is a 1.7-foot tall New York girl?

    To save time on the Internet_______.?

    A. some people leave their letters in the dustbin?

    B. some people never use “shift” in their writing?

    C. many people leave the capital and punctuation?

    D. people seldom use capital letters or punctuation

    STRANGERS parties go wild these days. The main idea of them is to never let the people know who their matches are until the last minute. These are some popular practices that are storming the world’s youth on this V-day.

    Speed dating

    It’s exactly what the name implies. Complete with a timer, a whistle and 50 willing singles, speed dating is not the traditional dinner and a movie type of first date. Singles pay US $35 for three minutes with more than two dozen future dates. They ask questions and try to get to know each other. At the sound of a whistle, they do the same thing all over again―25 times in all.

    Lock and key party

    Women are given a lock and men are given a key, upon arriving at the party. Each key and lock has several matches. One can hunt for his/her later-to-be sweetheart in various groups, and try out the key or lock. Each time a lock and key match the pair are entered into a ballot (票数） for top prizes!

    Dinner in the dark

    Waiters wearing night vision glasses guide the guests through the pitch-black dining room. They are seated at the table and familiarized with the wine glass and plate. Food is handled with the fingers. People will not see the food they are eating or the guests at their table until the dessert course. At that moment, dining partners will appear.

    Message party

    Have A Cocktail, Leave A Message! When you arrive, you get a tag with a number and a pad of post-it notes. If you see someone you like, write a message on the message board. But wait… You’ve got a message… Go and collect it! You can make new friends and win lots of gifts. The more messages you leave on the bulletin board, the more chances you have of winning prizes.

    What do you think the similarities of these parties are?

       A. All the parties have very strict rules for their members.

       B. If you want to go to any of the parties, you have to buy a ticket.

       C. All the parties are aimed at strangers who want to be lovers.

       D. All the parties are suitable not only for the young but for the old.

    In which party does a participant have to be careful with the time?

    A. Speed dating.    B. Lock and key party.    

    C. Dinner in the dark.      D. Message party.

    If you go to the Dinner in the dark, ____________.

        A. you have to wear night vision glasses       

    B. you have to eat with your hands

        C. guests eat all the courses in the darkness

        D. your dining partners will help you choose the food

    How many of the parties offer gifts or prizes?

       A. 1.                  B. 2. C. 3.               D. 4.

    Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.

    We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the tree and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.

    I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and that way have my own private musician.

    I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home, I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.

    I had left the cage out on our back porch（门廊）, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth . The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.

    The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened? I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.

    Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time and, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred: “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”

    Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.

    1.The boy caught a mockingbird because___________.

      A. he wanted a pet for a companion         

    B. he liked its beautiful feather

      C. he wanted it to sing for him

    2.The mockingbird died because__________.

       A. it ate some poisonous food the boy gave it by mistake

    B. it ate the poisonous food its mother gave it

    C. it was frightened to death

    D. it refused to eat anything

    3.The word “ornithologist” in the last but one paragraph probably means________.

    A. a religious person                  

    B. a kind and sympathetic person

    C. a schoolmaster                      

    D. an expert in birds

    4.The most important lesson the boy learned from the incident is that______.

    A. birds put in a cage won’t live long

    B. you have to be very careful about the food you give to young birds

    C. when you capture a young mockingbird, you should keep it away from its mother

    D. freedom is valuable to all living creature.
