When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, t he sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole（北极）is tilted （倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere（半球）. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.( ) 6.

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) (sad) (angry) (cool) There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "flaming" the person.It takes time for people to get used to(适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on 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. ( ) 11. Why do people type acronyms?A. To show their feelings.B. To make jokes.C. Because people can type them quickly.D. In this way newbies won't understand them.( ) 12. What does, BTW, my puter is not working well. :-( mean?A. The person is happy about getting a new computer.B. The person has to go away from their computer.C. The person is angry at somebody.D. The person is sad that his computer is having problems.( )13. If someone is angry, what may he type?A. B. C. LOL D. BRB.( ) 14 E-talk will probably____________.A. keep changingB. stay the sameC. be used by people on the telephoneD. be easy for newbies to understand ( ) 15. The best title for this passage is________.A. E-talkB. Picture FeelingsC. How to Use AbbreviationsD. The Changing Internet五、任务型阅读。
