题目内容

  Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone, and you can make it even cheaper by shortening the words that you use. You can do this by taking out “unimportant” letters in the words and using numbers instead of words(2=to, 3=free, 4=for, 8=ate, h8=hate, etc. ). Here is an example :Im 3 nw, why nt gv me a cll? (I’m free now, why not give me a call?)

Mobile phone users have developed a series of symbols to show how they feel. They are called emoticons(情感符号). To read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideways. For example, if you say something in a text message which is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face. Like this: Why did t u cll me? Im so sad. ∶-)

  Here are some others. Can you think of these text messages where you could use them?

  ∶·)laughing∶ ·(sad∶·<really sad

  ∶·v shouting| · | sleep∶ o shocked

  8 · | surprised\· o bored

3. Which one means“laughing” in the text messages?

A. ∶·(          B. ∶· )

Dear Jose ,

  You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States.It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following“dos”and“don'ts”helpful.

  As a   1   , it isn't easy to find anyone to   2   in a big city.However, here are some suggestions.First get or borrow   3   !Walk him several times a day!Americans love dogs and usually stop   4   to anyone with a dog.Then, try to eat in a cafeteria(食堂).People generally   5   the same tables and will sometimes talk to you   6   they see that you are a(an)  7  .Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)!It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people   8   there.They often pass the   9   talking to the other customers.  10   ask for information from a woman, if you are a   11  ; and from a man, if you are a woman!It seems to get   12   results for a reason I can't understand.Learn the   13   “Please”, “Thank you”, and“You're welcome”before you come and use them all the time!They usually work like magic(魔术).

  There are some things you shouldn't.Don't tell the truth when people   14   “How are you?”They only   15   the answer to be“Fine”.Never ask people their   16   -especially women!Everyone wants to be young.Don't tell heavy people they are   17  .Tell them they are losing   18  .Everyone here wants to be   19  .Don't be late for appointment!When someone says six o'clock,   20   be there by six.Americans respect time and expect everyone to be“on time”.

  Above all, don't worry!Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money and you will get along.I hope I have been of some help to you.

  Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer.Much of his work involves dealing with   1   an gang(团伙)problems in the schools of his community.Knowing that many kids often   2   trouble, he decided to do something about it.So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day   3  

  Those fun trips had a(n)  4   impact.A chance encounter in 2000 proved that.One day,   5   working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys   6  .He sensed trouble between them.  7   one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.”I   8   you.You took me   9   when I was in fifth grade.That was one of the   10   days of my life.”

  Deeply touched by the boy's word, Moody decided to create a foundation(基金会)that   11   teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs.“As a policeman, I saw   12   there was violence, drugs were always behind it.They have a damaging   13   on the kids,”says Moody.

  By turning kids on to fishing, he   14   to present an alternative way of life,“When you're sitting there waiting for a   15  ,”he says,“you can't help but talk to each other, and such   16   can be pretty deep.”

  “Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer(同龄人)pressures in high school,”says Michelle, 17 who   17   the first program.“And I was able to help my little brother   18   drugs.”

  Moody faces   19   in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.”I'm living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my   20   to give back,”Moody says.”If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”

Do you know how to use a mobile phone without being rude to the people around you?

  Talking during a performance irritates (激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate (振动). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.

  Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off.

  When eating at a restaurant with friends, don’t place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.

  Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won’t hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.

  Many people believe that they can’t live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home.

1.What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?

A. Call back after the performance.??? B. Answer it near the exit door.

C. Talk outside the exit door.??????????? D. Speak in a low voice.

2. Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think_____.

A. you prefer to talk to your friends at the table??

B. you value your calls more than your friends

C. you are enjoying the company of your friends

D. you are polite and considerate of your friends

3.When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to _____.

A. use a more sensitive microphone?????????

B. shout loudly into your microphone

C. go away quietly to continue the phone call??

D. use your hand to help speak into the phone

4.The author implies that the use of mobile phones in such places as museums should be_____.

A. limited??? B. expected??????? C. encouraged??????? D. recommended
