  I'm someone who never went to university but always thought about it.The only way I   1   was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were   2  .University was just a life-long   3   of mine.I just turned sixty-four years old in September.I still thought about that old dream   4   one day when there was an Advanced-Age   5   at the local university.I decided to   6  

  The day finally arrived-my first day of school.As I   7   there, my mind was filled with   8  

  thoughts, “What am I doing? I'm not smart enough to go to university.The   9   will laugh when they see me in class.I probably won't live long enough to get a   10   .Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home.”

  Then,   11  , I saw it! A large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of Kermit the Frog.I   12   a little and read the words next to his picture. “Live your dreams.” Was Kermit speaking me? I didn't turn the car around.

  I drove a little   13   on up the highway and there was another   14  .This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue   15   out.A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” And there was a word in red, “Confidence” .A new attitude was   16   inside me.

  I was now   17   the gate of the university and there   18   still another billboard.This one showed a photograph of a proud   19   in a cap and gown.Under the picture was her   20  , Nola Ochs, aged 95.Oldest University Graduate.Below it was the words, “Live Life” .At that moment, my outlook changed completely.

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect 21       of Chinglish. Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal(照字面意思的) translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruined English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American 22         . I was too amazed to believe her. Her words could not convince me 23          . So I did a search on www.google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 24        “long time no see”. This sentence has been 25          used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.  26         , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

  Nobody knows the 27         of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully 28         a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting(引用) Confucius(孔子). “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world thanks to the popularity of these movies.

Some scholars compare America to a huge pot of stew(大熔炉). All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they 29          the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数民族的) group in the United States, is also influenced some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be 30          in the mixed stew. 

21.   A. word           B. sign      C. example       D. change

22.   A. custom         B. greeting   C. habit           D. proverb

23.   A. almost        B. in all      C. at all          D. after all

24.   A. publishing     B. printing   C. containing           D. expressing

25.   A. seldom        B. hardly    C. widely         D. deeply

26.   A.Unfortunately   B. Luckily   C. Suddenly       D. However 

27.   A. use           B meaning   C .expression      D. origin

28.   A. did           B. published  C. created        D. discovered

29.   A. improve        B. change    C. lower         D. promote
