Beijing has started a battle to get rid of "Chinglish" (Chinese English). The "Language Mandarins" of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China's modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008.

     A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang'an Street) ,for example, advises: "To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery Are Very Crafty", a warning that the sidewalk was slippery(滑). Another sign in a Beijing park reads: "Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk. "

     Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said," Linguistic perfection (语言美) is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city."

However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视) of the Beijing government for the mixed language. "The choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes," explained one Hong Kong linguist on an Internet website.

So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with "Keep this candle out of children" and a model boat—curiously named Posh Sailboat—which means, "Please don't place it in dusty play."

If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.

The underlined word "obliterated" refers to            .

   A. removed            B. exploited

   C. translated           D. beautified

From the passage, we know that           .

   A. everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language

   B. all the people don't share the disdain for the mixed language

   C. Chinglish usually communicates in many cases

   D. several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinghsh phrases

We can infer that the English-language version of newspapers           .

   A. should be in duty to teach normal English

   B. should report the above battle

   C. should be paid more attention to

   D. should collect more Chinglish phrases

Which of the following signs is Chinglish?

   A. Watch your step. Slippery sidewalk.          B. Keep off the grass, please.   C. Tourists do not enter.                      D. No smoking, please.

I will never forget the lesson which Mr. Li gave us. One day Mr. Li was speaking to us in our school meeting room.  He began his speech by holding up a ?? 100 bill. He asked, "Who would like this ?? 100 bill?"  Most of us put up our hands quickly. Then he said, "I am going to give this ?? 100 to one of you, but first let me do this."  He then made the bill into a ball and said; "Who wants it now?" We raised our hands again.  But he said,“Wait a moment.”He then dropped it on the floor and stepped on it.  After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said, "Who still wants it?" Many hands were still up.

     "My friends," he said, "you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ?? 100."

     "We sometimes lose confidence in ourselves." He went on speaking, "We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you.  Your value doesn't come from what you do or who you know, but WHO YOU ARE."

     "You are special and valuable. Don't ever forget it!'
