Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

Babies, especially newborns, have the smoothest and most sensitive skin, and react to almost everything that touches them. This is why we have to be sure that whatever they come into contact with doesn’t have any bad effect on their skin.

Organic (有机的) newborn clothes are gaining popularity these days for being made from organic, non-synthetic (合成的) materials produced without pesticides (农药) or fertilizers（化肥）.

Organic clothes are produced from organically-grown cotton on fields. We want only what is best for our babies, and organic clothes for newborns can help protect them from being exposed to the poisonous substances sometimes present in the clothes we normally wear. We don’t want our babies to get rashes (皮疹) just because we weren’t wise enough when buying their clothes!

What else do they offer? They wash more easily than ordinary clothes, giving better value for money in the long run. Ordinary clothes cost less, but the material they are made from is subject to frequent wear and tear even before it is made into clothes. In the long run, then, organic clothes are not only better for your child, but also more cost-effective, and remain fresh and in good repair after many years of use.

You may think that organic clothes must be dull and lifeless; nothing could be further from the truth. Modern techniques enable these clothes to be designed in attractive and brilliant colors with adorable patterns. Your clothes are not only safe, but beautiful as well!

In short, organic clothes are definitely an option to keep in mind when you’re shopping for that soon-to-arrive member of your family.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (论坛) asking what "PK" meant.
"My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand.
"My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition. "GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
45. By writing the article, the writer tries to  ________ .
A. explain some Internet language          B. suggest common Internet language
C. laugh at the Beijing father               D. draw our attention to Internet language
46. What does the writer think about the term "PK"?
A. Fathers can't possibly know it.          B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players may know it.       D. "Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.
47. The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons ________ .
A. are used not only online                   B. can be understood very well
C. are welcomed by all the people          D. cause trouble to our mother tongue
48. The underlined word "jargons" means " ________ " in Chinese.
A. 行话               B. 粗口              C. 歌词               D. 趋势
