8．My summer hols wr CWOT．B4，WE USED 2go 2NY 2C my bro，his GF & thr 3：-@KIDS FTF．ILNY，its gr8．
Can you understand this sentence？If you can't，don't feel too bad：neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework．This is Netspeak：the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones．To newcomers，it can look like a completely foreign language．So，what is the"translation"of the sentence above？My summer holidays were a complete waste of time．Before，we used to go to New York to see my brother，his girlfriend，and their three screaming kids face to face．I love New York； it's great．
Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破坏） the English language．Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students'writing．They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）．
Everyone should just relax，say linguists（语言学家）．They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing．David Crystal，from the University of Wales，argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again．Geoffrey Nunberg，from Stanford University，agrees．"People get better at writing by writing，"he says．"Kids who are now doing text messaging，e-mail，and instant messages will write at least as well as，and possibly better than，their parents．"
Linguist James Milroy says，for centuries，it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language．And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents，they too will think this way．Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become"corrupted"； they simply change to meet the new needs．
However，Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English．Cynthia McVey says，"I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun，but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future．"
Perhaps，we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway．Erin，age 12，says，"I wouldn't use text language in my homework．Text is just for fun．"
57．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？D
A．To give an example of foreign paragraph．
B．To show an example of creative method．
C．To express worries about using Netspeak．
D．To lead in the topic of Netspeak．
58．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．Cynthia McVry points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly．
B．Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English．
C．David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing．
D．James Milroy says that language is changing and improving．
59．The expression"bet your bottom dollar"in paragrap5means．A
A．be fairly sure
B．be greatly surprised
C．think it a pity
D．find it interesting
60．What can be the best title for the passage？B

In Japan，boys in middle school wear uniforms called"gakuran"which have dark jackets with stand-up collars and pants．Girls，on the other hand，wear uniforms called"sailor fuku"，which look like European naval（海军） uniforms．
Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms．Boys need to wear long grey or black pants，white shirts and school ties．Girls have the same clothes as boys，but they can wear skirts or summer school dresses during the summer term．
In the UK，uniforms were the custom throughout most of the 20^th Century，but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms．They think uniforms make students lose their personalities（个性）．
For children in many African countries，school uniforms can be a kind of pride，or a huge financial burden（经济负担）．Many children have only one uniform，and that may be all the clothes they have．
In a word，love it or hate it，school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world so you'd better enjoy your school uniform and your school life．
