  Soon after Mandela moved to Johannesburg, he got a job as a policeman in a mine.Later, he be gan studying to be a lawyer.He also became involved in politics and joined the African National Congress, an organization that sought equality among all ethnic groups in South Africa.At the same time, he studied for two university degrees.Then, in 1952, he and his friend, Oliver Tambo, opened the first black law firm in the country.During the next twelve year, Mandela practised law, and was sent to prison several times for opposing the government's policy toward black South Africans.

  We use the Internet for many things:business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people,

  finding information and so on.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 save time, they turn phrases into a few letters(called acronyms).Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室).Some of them are:

  BTE(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)        see(second)

  We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流)on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings.Most people use their keyboards to draw“feelings”such as:

  :-)(happy)  ;-)(joking)  :-((sad)  :-O(surprised)

  These days, many forums(论坛)have picture feelings.For example:

  (happy)  (sad)  (angry)  (cool)

  There are even whole new words, like“newbies”(someone who is new on a chat board or fo-rum).When you write something bad about someone else, it's called“flaming”the person.

  It takes time for people to get used to(适应)e-talk.Also, different groups on 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.

1.Why do people type acronyms?

________________________

2.What does“BTW, my puter is not working well.”mean?

________________________

3.How do most people show their feelings when they communicate on the Net?

________________________

     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software.
But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
