    Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)：

    　　English is an important international language, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to learn．Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn － but they weren’t always successful．

    　　In 1930, Professor C．K．Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English．It had only 850 words(and just eighteen verbs)and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours．The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn’t understand the answers in ‘real’ English!It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn’t in the Basic English word list．

    　　R．E．Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language with the name Anglic．Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling．‘Father’ became ‘faadher’, ‘new’ became ‘nue’ and ‘years’ became ‘yeerz’．Unluckily, Anglic never became popular．

    　　In the age of international communication through the Internet, who knows what will happen?…a new form of English might appear．A large number of the world’s e-mails are in English and include(包括)examples of ‘NetLingo’ like OIC(Oh, I see)and TTYL(Talk to you later)．In another fifty years, English might not be used．We might all speak fluent Internetish!

    1．Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn, haven’t they?

    2．Who invented Basic English in 1930?

    3．How long could most people learn Basic English according to Professor Ogden?

    4．What was the biggest problem for learners of English according to Professor Zachrisson?

    5．What might happen to English in another fifty years?

    6．What do you think of the experts’ ideas of making English easier?

    　　E-mail is one of the biggest threats(威胁)to your home computer．By understanding how E-mail works, and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages, you can keep this threat out of your computer．When you exchange E-mail with someone else, the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computers before they reach their places．Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet "room", a very, very big room．Anyone, or more exactly, any program can probably understand what is being said, because most Internet conversations are not hidden in any way．As a result, others may be listening in, capturing(捕获)what you send, and using it for their own good．

    　　E-mail-borne viruses often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something．By beautiful appearances, an infected(感染)E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know, not a mean virus ready to damage our computers．

    　　There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment(附件)that you receive．You should only read a message that passes all of these tests：

    　　1)The Know Test：Is the E-mail from someone that you know?

    　　2)The Received Test：Have you received E-mail from this sender before?

    　　3)The Expect Test：Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?

    　　4)The Meaning Test：Do the topic line of the E-mail message and the name of the attachment both have meanings?

    　　5)The Virus Test：Is the E-mail infected?

    　　Martin had just finished high school．He would go to college at the far end of the city．He didn't want to live there, and he didn't want to take the bus either．So his father agreed to buy him a car．

    　　His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ．Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his driver's license(驾照)just before his eighteenth birthday．

    　　The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop．Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another．Finally he saw a red Blue Bird．He had a testing drive on the open ground, and called out, “This is what I want, Dad! ” When everything was done, they were ready to leave．

    　　Martin climbed into the front seat．He said excitedly, “It's my first day driving alone．Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it! ”

    　　His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver．Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front．

    　　So he said, smiling, “I'm sure you’re back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive．”

    　　Zheng He, the Columbus of the East, was an amazing man．

    　　He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him．Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends．In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government．

    　　The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power．He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader．Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world．He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East．A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia．

    　　Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50 000 kms during the years of his travels．With 28 000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses, Zheng He led a fleet(舰队)whose size would not be equalled by Europeans for over 500 years I

    　　On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods．He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe．

    　　It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He s travels．After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels．It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He．
