Millions of people all over the world use the word OK．In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world．OK means all right or acceptable．It expresses agreement or approval．

1. Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw（乔克托语）．The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay．Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century．

But many people doubt this．Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s．He said the word began being used in the 1830s． 2. Some foreign-born people wrote “ all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK．Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago．They said he put the first letters of his name---O and K---on each object people gave him to send on the train．

3. The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840．They called their group the OK club．The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York．

Then there is the expression A-OK．It is a space-age expression．It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard．He was the first American to be launched into space．His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned．Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.” 4. One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received．

There are also funny ways to say okay． 5. These expressions were first used in the 1930s．Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way．He says okely-doke．

A．Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke．

B．Still others say a political organization invented the word．

C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on．

D．But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means．

E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.

F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.

G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age．

There is a problem discussed by people about whether parents should hit their children? Or should they ever beat them?

Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking（打屁股）has been falling over the years. But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.

I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment. And, no, I don’t feel I was damaged by it.

Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.

But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer.

Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.

Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers. It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive（反作用的）to their mental development, as well.

Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks（用巴掌打）on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.

Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never been spanked. There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished. Gunnoe’s research suggests they don’t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.

There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers（脾气）. But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment.

1.According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parents when __________.

A. they were dissatisfied with her grade

B. they cannot control their temper

C. she showed no respect for the elder

D. their discipline turns out to be not strict enough

2. According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished __________.

A. are less aggressive toward others when they get older

B. may develop lower IQs than their peers

C. benefit from occasional spanking

D. have slower physical development

3.The author seems to agree that __________.

A. parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not

B. children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't

C. physical punishment should be the last resort （手段）of any parent

D. good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way

The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”

“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”

“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”

I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all your people do?”

“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”

“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”

“That’s good, sir.”

“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.

“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”

After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”

“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”

“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.

“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t’t take you if you didn’t’t have a ticket.”

“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”

“I wouldn’t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘IT’ can’t tell me.

By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

1.The best title for the article is _______.

A. When the Computer Is Down

B. The Most Frightening Words

C. The Computer of the Airport

D. A different travel

2.What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?

A. She could sell a ticket.

B. She could write out a ticket.

C. She could answer the passengers’ questions.

D. She could do nothing.

3.Why do you think they had not a backup computer?

A. Because it was easy down

B. Because it was not relied on .

C. Because it was not useful.

Anyone who has ever tried to stop smoking knows how difficult it is to quit. There is no lack of information about how unhealthy smoking is for you- not to mention the unpleasant smell. So why would teens ever begin to smoke?

1. Research shows that the majority of smokers lit up their first cigarette in their early or mid-teens, precisely at a time when children are beginning to establish their own identity apart from their parents. Smoking can be an act of rebellion(反抗) against parents or authority figures, as well as a way to fit in with others and feel accepted.

Here are some things that parents can do to help a child stay smoke-free.

Start talking to your teen about how bad smoking is for him early, well before his teens. Keep talking, too. 2.

3. For example, smoking makes your hair and clothing smell bad, stains the teeth, and reduces your lung power to play sports.

4. Talk about the addictive power of smoking and tell him while those few cigarettes are his choice, the addiction that occurs shortly afterwards makes him powerless to decide whether or not he wants to light up.

Work on self-esteem(自尊) and self-confident with your teen. Much of the attraction of smoking is to gain acceptance. 5.

Young teens live in the moment, too.

Play on your child’s desire to make his own choices.

The answer lies in the develop-mental stage of your teens.

Give your child the facts, but focus on the things he can relate to.

Help your teen to feel good about himself without having to smoke.

One discussion will not be enough to help your child not to smoke.

They won’t be aware of how powerful addictive smoking is in a very short time.

When Charles Stratton was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P. T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles' parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.

He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.

During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Tom's act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty five.
