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. Some of them are.
BTW （by the way）   BRB (be right back)

These days, many forums (論壇) have picture feelings. For example，

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 (短語) into a few letters called acronyms(首字母縮略詞).

Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot（戰(zhàn)車）. But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our “chariot” around the sky.
So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane （or “chariot”） that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths（希臘神話）, Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more efficient than the gods themselves.
This plane is called Solar Impulse （“太陽驅(qū)動”號）. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.
So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals（化學(xué)制品）from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything, and there’s no pollution.
Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.
【小題1】What does “chariot” really refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?

A．The Earth.B．The Greek god. C．Solar Impulse.D．Birds.
【小題2】Which of the following is TRUE of Solar Impulse?
A．It can only fly at night.B．It has already flown across the US.
C．It is powered by the sun.D．It needs gas to work.
【小題3】In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China?
A．Overpopulation.B．Burning coal or gas.
C．Using solar energy.D．Heavy traffic.
【小題4】What does the writer mean by “That’s a pretty long flight”?
A．It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going.
B．Solar Impulse moves very slowly.
C．Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time.
D．Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.
【小題5】The passage is most probably taken from___________.
A．a(chǎn) Greek mythB．a(chǎn) science fictionC．a(chǎn) story-bookD．a(chǎn) science magazine

It’s over three years since I began to learn English. I’m glad that I am getting on well with it.
I find English quite difficult, but very interesting. When I first started, I thought I had only to remember the new words and learn some grammar  I knew little about English idioms（習(xí)語）.I thought each English word had the same meaning in Chinese. When I learn to say“I see a book on the desk,” I thought the English word “see ” was just like the Chinese word “ kan ”，So one day when my teacher asked me,“ what are you doing?”, I answered， “I’m seeing a book.” “That’s wrong .”  the teacher said, “you don’t see a book, You read a book. You can’t use English word like a Chinese one.. Be sure not to make the same mistake again.”
After that I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English. For example, in English we say a“ high mountain”, but a“ tall man. ” In Chinese we use the same word “gao ” for both.。Again in English we say“ take part in the sports meeting ”, “ attend the meeting ” and“ join the army,”  while in Chinese we can use “can jia ” for all three. Interesting ，isn't?
So to study English doesn't only mean hard wok, it can be great fun,  too! We not only have to pay attention to pronunciation, grammar spelling and handwriting, we also have to understand English idioms. We can learn English well only in the way!
But all this is only a beginning and I still have a long way to go. I’ll try my best and work even harder than before. I must speak and listen to English more both in and out of class. I must learn English well so that I can work well when I grow up.
【小題1】I have learned English for ___________ years.

【小題2】 When I first started English I ________________.
A．knew more English words

A When I began to learn English
B. when I said“ I see a book on the desk.”
C. before I began to learn English

Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大氣）, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（氣象學(xué)家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
　　Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.
【小題1】Satellites travel ___________.

A．in spaceB．in the atmosphere
C．a(chǎn)bove the groundD．a(chǎn)bove space
【小題2】 Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere?
Because ________.
A．the weather satellites can do it easilyB．clouds form there
C．the weather forms thereD．the pictures can forecast the weather
【小題3】Meteorologists forecast the weather ________.
A．when they have received satellite pictures
B．a(chǎn)fter they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C．before they received satellite pictures
D．during they study satellite pictures
【小題4】Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.
A．one dayB．two days
C．five daysD．seven days or even longer
【小題5】The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in ______.
A．taking pictures of the atmosphere
B．receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C．doing other work in many ways
