Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house. He ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (短吻鳄) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy made a U—turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. The mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator pulled his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother did her best not to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck and helped them.

Luckily, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were seriously scarred（疤痕）by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scars where his mother’s fingernails dug into his arms in her effort to pull the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the legs. And then, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

Starting from this month, you won’t be hearing the word “NBA” on sports programs on CCTV. Instead, sport hosts will give the full Chinese name when they refer to the NBA – National Basketball Association. You also won’t hear any other English abbreviations（缩写式）on CCTV’s Chinese programs, such as GDP (gross domestic product) or WTO (World Trade Organization). You will hear their Chinese translations.

CCTV received a notice from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, telling it to avoid using English-language abbreviations in their reports to protect the “purity” of the Chinese language. A few other TV stations also received the notice.

Fu Zhenguo, an editor of People’s Daily, is one of the people who proposed（提议）the change. “Using English in a Chinese-speaking environment is against Chinese law,” he said. “Using English on Chinese TV programs is unfair to people who don’t understand English. It will have a bad language influence on kids and teenagers.”

But some experts have a different opinion. Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communications University of China, said the move shows cultural conservatism（保守主义）. “If Western countries can accept some Chinglish（中国式英语）words, why can’t the Chinese language be mixed with English?” Liu said.

A lot of people have criticized the move, saying that it will cause problems for them.

“I understand what CD, VCD and DVD mean when I hear them. But I won’t know what the TV programs are talking about if I hear those products’ full Chinese names,” a person wrote in a BBS post. Following the same post, another person wrote jokingly: “I’m not listening to my MP3 now. I’m listening to my Moving Picture Experts Group-1 Audio Layer 3.

Some people also question why CCTV is keeping its logo, since it is also an English abbreviation.

1. We can’t hear the English abbreviations from this month because___________.

A. no one can say the abbreviations

B. the abbreviations are useless

C. Chinese translations are easier to be understood.

D. the purity of Chinese should be protected

2. Which of the following is an abbreviation of an organization?

A. DVD B. WTO C. GDP D. VCD

3.What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “criticized”?

A. 阻止 B. 赞同 C. 表扬 D. 批评

4.From the passage, we know that.

A. Not all the people are satisfied with the move.

B. All the people are pleased with the move.

C. CCTV has given up its logo.

D. The Chinese language can’t be mixed with English .

5. The seventh paragraph shows

A. a bad language influe nce on kids and teenagers

B. it is unfair for our Chinese to use English abbreviations.

C. problems caused by not using the English abbreviations

D. cultural conservatism
