 “Oops.” I fell flat on my face and my books scattered (散落) on the ground. I muttered (咕哝) through closed teeth, “I forgot about that stupid bump (不平的路面). I’ve got to remember it tomorrow.”

Today there was a reason I was   11 . This was the day we had to   12  a poem in class. Although I had only lived in France for a few months, I still had to do all the homework from my classes in school.

Memorizing the poem had taken me hours, but I still wasn’t   13  if I would remember it when I stood up in front of class.

This   14  walk to school was always full of   15 . Every day I   16  pass a dog that lived by a church. The huge black animal with long teeth and a loud bark was my   17 . He had once  18  me so completely by surprise that I had jumped in front of a car and was nearly   19 .

But today I had remembered to collect some stones to   20 . He would   21  for all the times he had given me a shock...but the beast wasn’t around today! The one time I was   22  to fight him and he was  23 .

My mind   24  back to the poem. This was the first poem I’d tried to memorize.

When I got to school there were still a good five minutes before class. Then time came for the poem recitals.

“Would anyone like to   25 ?” asked Madame Thimonier.

I remembered my dad’s advice: “Just go first, and   26  everyone. Even if you forget part of the poem, you’ll have made a good impression!”

So I raised my hand. Madame Thimonier looked surprised.

I walked to the front of the room. I began and soon stumbled (结巴) on the first line but managed to   27  from my mistake and continue.   28  was all coming back to me. Those hours spent memorizing the poem had   29 .

I kept reciting at a rapid pace. I looked over at Madame Thimonier and saw a look of astonishment on her face.

I walked back to my desk full of   30  after I had said the whole poem perfectly.

Nowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I'm going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning.

The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite(无限的) applications. Virtually in any public space.

Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can't walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost.

So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don't dial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to avoid.

For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business:

"Yes, I'm glad you called, because we really need to hammer out the details. What's that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins right there."

Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eye contact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on.

Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce department pinching (用手捏) unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, you'd be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.

One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished. I was trying to buy myself some time, so I continued fake foning with my doctor. "So I don't need the operation? Oh, doctor, that is the best news."

And then: Brrrrrrng! Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! My phone started ringing, right there while it was planted on my face. My colleague looked at me, and I at him, and naturally I gasped. "What is the matter with this thing?" I said, pulling the phone away to look at it, and then putting it back to my ear.

"Hello? Are you still there?"  Oops.

A.a strategy to avoid people                 B.a device newly produced

2.In the author's opinion, in order to make fake foning look real one has to__________________.

D.Fake foning is always quite successful.

4.After his phone suddenly began ringing, the author___________________.

Anchors(新闻节目主持人)on China Central Television(CCTV) will need to do some fast talking to replace the popular English acronyms(首字母缩略词)they are now banned from using. Shanghai Daily reports that “anchors at China Central Television have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA, CBA, GDP, and the like in their programs.”

    The replacement for those handy acronyms? Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name, standardized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

    Although CCTV(oops, we mean China Central Television) presenters must already have a score of at least 94 in their government-rated oral mandarin proficiency(普通话水平)exam, saying the full name of organizations like the CBA and WTO---10 and 6 characters’ long respectively---is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors. CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily, “A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips. It is a little troublesome but a necessary one because not every member of the audience can understand the initials.”

    Although the government isn’t giving any official explanation for the shift, it is believed to have something to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi, director of the China International Publishing Group, at March’s NPC meeting. In his speech, Huang said, “With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English, measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese. If we don’t pay attention and don’t take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English, Chinese won’t be a pure language in a couple of years.”

    Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages, acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting(破坏)a language, we would think. Good luck to the CCTV anchors.

1.CCTV anchors have to “do some fast talking” because they can no longer                       ____________________.

A.                   speak as slowly as they like

B.                    mix English into Chinese

C.                    use shortened Chinese expressions

D.                   have much time for their programs

2.According to the writer, “CBA” is supposed to be replaced with “________________”by CCTV anchors.

A.                     中国男子篮球职业联赛

B.                      中国篮球协会全国男女篮球职业联赛

C.                      中国篮球联赛

D.                     男子篮球联赛

3.What’s Huang Youyi’s purpose?

E.                      Using full English names instead of short forms.

F.                      Translating Chinese terms into proper English.

G.                     Avoiding Chinese words being mixed into English.

H.                     Keeping our mother tongue a pure language.

4.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

I.                        China has fallen behind in the matter of protection of its language.

J.                       The ban is not necessary.

K.                     Chinese shouldn’t be corrupted.

CCTV anchors will have a hard time.
