20.Change is one of the common facts of life.Most of us have seen a number of changes in our own lives from simple things like fashion trends and entertainment to big changes in technology.Language,too,has experienced change and continues to develop.The continuous change is what keeps languages alive.
Slang is a way in which languages can transform and are renewed.Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in a language.Some consider slang to be witty (言辞巧妙的) and clever,adding spice to the informal written and spoken language.Walt Whitman described slang as"the start of imagination and humor,breathing into its nostrils (鼻孔) the breath of life".However,others criticize its use,believing that it weakens the language.
The spoken English language of today's younger generation is filled with slang words and expressions.These lively words and phrases are an example of how language plants its own seeds of change that develop within social circumstances.
Sometimes slang is the use of a word that is already in the standard dictionary,for example,lift (to pick up or raise) is given a new meaning,such as"to steal"; or hunk (a large piece of something) has now become"a handsome man".Other times,slang is an invented word,such as chocoholic,which means"a person who loves chocolate".Other invented words are mula,which means"money"and airhead,which means"a person who is stupid".
Now,you'll understand your friends if they say something like,"I was such an airhead to think that I could get away with lifting a whole box of chocolates from the store just because I was all out of mula."

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
