     When I was a boy, each of my holidays seemed wonderful. My parents took me by train or by car to
a hotel by the    1   . All day I played on the sands with strange excited children. We made houses and
gardens, and    2    the tide (潮水) destroy them. When the tide went out, we    3   over the rocks and
looked down at the    4   in the rock pools.
     In those days, the sun seemed to shine always brightly    5    the water was always warm. Sometimes
we left beach and walked in the country,    6   destroyed houses and dark woods. There were sweets in
one's pockets or good places one could buy ice creams. Each day seemed a lifetime.
     Though I am thirty-five years old, my    7   of good holiday is much the same as it was. I still like the
sun and warm sand and the sound of waves beating the rocks. I never wish to build any sand house or
sand garden     8   , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
     Sometimes I wonder what my ideal    9   will be like when I am old. All I want to do then, perhaps, will
be to lie in bed, reading books about children who make houses and gardens with sand, who watch the
incoming tide, who make themselves    10   because of too many ice creams.

     Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage
the listeners to take part in the talk show. Are you interested in hotline?
     That's a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program. Some people
know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they even do not know what the host is talking
about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions
which express his hope and show his ignorance. Then the host has to answer and explain how silly this is!
It wastes a lot of time.
     It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They
do not care about what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.
     I am really bored by those people. It is necessary for the radio station to improve the hotline program.
In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
Some young children phone the hotline in order to take part in games.
     Some radio or TV stations hold the hotline in order to get more money from the children. So if your
phone fee goes up quickly suddenly, maybe your son or daughter often phone hotline. There is another
hotline. Everyone likes it very much. It is the hotline for our life, such as Mayor Hotline in your city.

1. The underlined sentence "some people do nothing but break
the whole program" mainly tells us _____.

[ ]

A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way
B. it is a fact
C. some people have unclear thoughts
D. it is a good idea

2. Which of the following is not true?

[ ]

A. Some people know little about the topic under discussion.
B. Some people do not know what the host is talking about.
C. Some people do not know what the show is about.
D. The author tells us that the host is silly.

3. The host has tto answer and explain ______.

[ ]

A. because he works hard
B. because of the caller's ignorance
C. because he likes talking to the caller
D. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller

4. The passage does not tell us the idea ______.

[ ]

A. that some listeners phone the hotline for fun
B. that some people just want to be heard by others
C. that some people don't care how they appear to be silly
D. what the hotline programs are

     We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding
information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real
word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk.
     People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms).
Acronyms are often used in chat rooms (聊天室). Some of them are:
     BTW (by the way)                 BRB (be right back)
     LOL (laughing out loud)          IMO (in my opinion)
     People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations
are:
      info (information)        puter (computer)
     pic (picture)                 sec (second)
     We usually don't see people when we communicate (交流) on the Net, so people have new ways to
show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
     :-) (happy)      ;-) (joking)
      :-( (sad)          :-O (surprised)
     These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:
     (happy)
