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 f ew letters called acronyms(首字母缩略词). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms and forums. 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 on the Net, so people have new ways to show their emotions. Most people use their keyboards to draw “emoticons”,such as::-) (happy) :-( (sad) ;-) ( joking) :-o (surprised)These days, many forums have picture emoticons.There are even whole new words, like …newbie‟ (someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write s omething bad about someone else, it‟s called …flaming‟ the person.It takes time to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups in the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.31.

When did it start? Maybe you can find the background of the awards in the following passage.The awards started in 1929. Their full title is “The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards”. The Academy is a group of people who have worked in the film industry for many years. They decide who will receive the awards. The awards are often referred to as the “Oscar”. This is a nickname given to the awards by a lady called Margaret Herrick. She was once the director of the Academy and she once said that the little gold statue reminded her of her uncle Oscar!The Oscar is always an exciting event. Each year, at least one unusual thing happens. When the Italian actor and director Roberto Benigni won an Oscar for best foreign film, he danced on stage! When Gwyneth Paltrow, the star of Shakespeare in Love won the Oscar for best actress, she could not make her acceptance speech because she was crying so much with happiness!In 1987, Roberto Benigni won the award for best director for a film about the last emperor of China. Since then, Chinese film and actors have started to make an impact at the award. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a huge success and it won the award for best foreign language film in 2001. It also won several technical awards for its amazing “flying”people. We expect to see more awards for Chinese film in the near future.It‟s time for the Oscar again. Once more, the stars will dress up in their finest and go to Kodar Theater. There, they will find out who had won the awards for best actor, best actress and best director. Millions of people watch the awards every year to find out who the winners are. Some people watch it to see the stars crying and laughing as they receive their awards.36. Who give the awards?A.

There is an old saying: Friends are God‟s way of taking care of us. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?“The Care and Keeping of Friends” by American author Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. Y ou plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friends? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨) and do their best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. Y ou should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? Y ou have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn‟t want to talk, you could write a letter.Sally says there are three steps to being friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that.
