16.Do you understand"OMG"when you receive a piece of text message like this?Its meaning is"oh my god".Have you seen Brb (be right back),gr8 (great),cya (see you)-it's a lot easier to use abbreviations (缩写) when we text,isn't it?But while we might think nothing of it,there's an ongoing discussion that text messaging can have a bad influence on people's grammar.Many believe the abbreviations are giving students bad habits when it comes to spelling and punctuation (标点).
Some teachers say that texting and social networking cause students to be lazy when writing.A study showed that young adults who often use text messaging find it rather difficult to turn back to correct grammar when needed.
But another view is that text messaging has no influence at all.Many people consider it to be a language of its own.We could compare it to a foreign language which students learn.This doesn't have any influence on their native language.
Whether it's bad or not,it seems that text language is becoming very popular.According to another study,64percent of teens said they used informal (非正式的)"text language"in their writing.
But it's not just a matter of language.Students who text a lot during class may have difficulty paying attention.In another study,students were asked to complete a questionnaire on how many text messages they sent and received during class.On average,students sent more than two text messages during classes lasting 50to 75minutes.The study showed that students who often text during classes can't easily keep their attention on the lesson,which will surely harm their learning.

Easter is one of a group of days on which Christians (基督徒) remember the life of Jesus.On Good Friday they remember his death.On Easter they celebrate Jesus'rising from the dead.
It's a special,happy time for kids,just (51)like Christmas.There are cute rabbits(52)everywhere.This is because for many centuries rabbits have been symbols of life.Rabbits have lots of babies and so they seem right for Easter.There's even an"Easter Bunny (复活节兔子)",an Easter version of Santa Claus.
Eggs are (53)symbols of life too.An egg can be the start of new life.At Easter,kids wake up to find their moms and dads have given them chocolate eggs with candy inside.They also have fun(54)boiling and painting eggs.
The best thing is the"Easter egg hunt".This is when parents,neighbors,sometimes the whole community,hide eggs in different places.They leave clues,such as a poster which tells kids where they can find the eggs.They have to(55)look around until they find them.It's so much fun that you wonder why they only do it at Easter.
