  If you've been joining in chat room conversation, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special short form of English

  And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(sense of humor failure)to describe Internet new-comers who understand youAcross the globe, every night teenagers and their elders aretalkingonline many of them all talking at the same time

  It's fasttry talking to six people at onceIt's briefthree or four words per exchangeIt takes wit(智慧), and quick fingers

  Interested in whom you're talking to?A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and locationYou may get 15/M/NY as a response form your pal

  If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(on the floor), or LOL(laughing out loud), or combine the two into ROTEL(rolling on the floor laughing)

  And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(got to go)or TTYL(talk to you later)People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they canCapital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing strong feelings, as it takes more time to hold down theshiftkey and use capitalsPunctuation(标点)is going, too

After Mom died, l began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading," Drink your juice." Such a gesture, l knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, l remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn’t love you?" "Well, he never tells me, "I complained." He never tells me either," she said, smiling. " But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us. "
I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. l still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad handled scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn’t feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don' t you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don’t you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.
Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me. l walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.

     Three types of pangolins (穿山甲) exist in Africa - the giant pangolin, the tree pangolin and the most
widespread, the ground pangolin. Pangolins have small heads and long, broad tails. They are toothless and
have no external ears, although their hearing is good. Their sense of smell is well-developed, but their sight
is poor. The weight of the scales (鳞片) and skin make up about 20% of their weight.
     The common pangolin prefers sandy soils and is found in woodlands and savannas (热带草原), within
reach of water.
     All pangolins can roll themselves into a ball to defend themselves. The cutting action of their scales protects
them too. Pangolins also have scent glands (臭腺) that release strong, foul smelling secretions. Pangolins are
normally alone. Females are usually alone with their young. The young are 6 inches long and weigh 12 ounces
at birth. Their pale, soft scales begin to harden by the second day. The baby is folded in the mother's lap or
rolled-up body. It is nursed for 3 to 4 months and begins to eat termites (白蚁) at 1 month. At this time the
infant begins to accompany the mother, perhaps riding on the base of her tail. If the mother senses danger the
baby slips under her and is protected when she rolls up her body.
     Pangolins use their sense of smell to locate termite and ant nests. They dig up the insects with their claws
and use their extremely long tongues to eat them.
1. When pangolins are ____, they release strong, foul smelling secretions.
A. happy
B. sad
C. frightened
D. angry
2. Which of the following words best describes the function of the pangolin's scales? 
A. Heavy.
B. Beautiful.
C. Protective.
D. Hard.
3. When does the infant begin to accompany the mother pangolin?
A. At l month old.
B. At 2 months old.
C. At 2-3 months old.
D. At 3-4 months old.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The pangolin's habitat.
B. The pangolin's diet.
C. The pangolin's behavior.
D. The pangolin's appearance.
